Motivation for this change

Linux 5.1 (current linuxPackages_latest) is EOL and has not had stable updates for ~4 releases now, which is unfortunate.

I checked how this was done for the last non-LTS transitions and AFAICS 5.0 → 5.1 also happened after release of 19.03.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

81d4e65 automatically bumped
linux_testing to 5.2.0-rc1, but the 5.2 merge window included a new
feature adding compressed headers for compiled kernels into
/proc/kheaders.tar.xz

See torvalds/linux@43d8ce9

This feature requires 'cpio' to now be included in nativeBuildInputs
since it's used to construct that archive.

This wasn't caught by Hydra since we turn off build of linuxPackages,
but ideally we should at least build the kernel in the future
(linux_testing itself.)

Seems reasonable to me. Thanks for pinging me, I'll cherry-pick future updates.
