3 years ago Thanks for creating the issue. It is indeed important to support the new kernel before UDM/P firmware 1.10.0 is officially released.
When Ubiquiti moves to a Linux kernel for the UDM/P firmware, three things need to happen:
- kexec-mod must support this new version. This will be the most difficult tasks, since the kexec internals might have changed in the meantime. However, given that the new firmware moves to kernel 4.19, which supports kexec natively (if enabled of course), the migration is simplified a lot.
- The stock sources at udm-kernel need to be updated with the new kernel sources from Ubiquiti. Fortunately, I have those sources already, but have not had the time yet to rebase them on top of the current sources.
- The regular process in the Maintenance Guide to support the new firmware.

UniFi Dream Machine Firmware 1.10.0-8 (Beta) firmware upgraded the kernel to 4.19. Since the kernel doesn't seem to have been upgraded in a long time, I guess the maintenance guide (https://github.com/fabianishere/udm-kernel-tools/blob/master/MAINTENANCE.md#adding-firmware-support) will not just work(?)
The project by @tusc (https://github.com/tusc/wireguard-kmod) already includes support for the new kernel (4.19.152), although it doesn't look like he posted the source he was sent by Ubiquiti (at https://github.com/tusc/UDM-source-code). (Perhaps because the firmware is still in beta, Ubiquiti doesn't want him to, or he just hasn't gotten around to it?)
Even though it'll probably take some time until the firmware reaches RC or "stable", it might be a good idea to see what's needed to support a new kernel.
(Again, big thanks for both projects!)
