Information comment
This comment provides useful information about this package. Make sure to read it through, you won't regret it.

Repository URL
This package is hosted at sos!git. If you want to contribute to the package, you can do it here: https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/aur-linux-clear

Issue handling
Please only submit issues in the package's repository if they aren't bug reports about the package or help requests. Please keep them to the AUR only. This prevents unnecessary signups.

Updates
I usually publish updates 0-3 days after a kernel release, depending on how busy I am.
If I however get wind of security-relevant updates or any vulnerabilities I will try to update the kernel as soon as possible and write a comment about the vulnerability/update. So make sure to subscribe to this package's comment mailing list.

PKGBUILD environment variable customization
The PKGBUILD file supports customization via environment variables. Here's a list of all of them:
- _makemenuconfig: Invokes make menuconfig (ncurses-based default configuration menu) before compilation starts
- _makenconfig: Invokes make nconfig (ncurses-based nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts
- _makexconfig: Invokes make xconfig (X11-based GUI configuration menu) before compilation starts
- _use_current: Will use the configuration of the running kernel, if the running kernel is compiled with IKCONFIG_PROC
- _optimize_defconfig: Applies package maintainer-picked configuration changes to your defconfig. Only takes effect with _use_current being enabled
- _copyfinalconfig: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root as kconfig-new before compilation starts
- _localmodcfg: Only compiles modules found in modprobed-db's database (which decreases compilation time and kernel size)
- _use_llvm_lto: Compiles the kernel with LLVM instead of GCC. Should work, if not open an issue
- _subarch: Specifies the subarchitecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 41/MGENERIC_CPU (Generic x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number or subarch name
- _subarch_microarch: Specifies the microarchitecture to compile for. Only applies to and is required by the MGENERIC_CPU subarch. Must be a number between 1 and 4 (click for more information)
- _debug: Force enables debug options when set to y, force disables debug options when set to n or uses the config defaults when unset

All of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for _subarch and _debug. For more information please check their documentation inside the PKGBUILD file

GPG errors
If makepkg complains about invalid PGP keys, try running this command first: gpg --locate-keys torvalds@kernel.org gregkh@kernel.org sashal@kernel.org benh@debian.org. This command only needs to be executed once.

Build tool
If you want a dead simple way to compile this package, you can try out my build tool. It includes a few no nonsense changes to the kernel configuration and allows you to configure the PKGBUILD file in a simple manner and decrease build time. And if you don't want that, using makepkg as-is works fine too.

@danhyal Since this patch needs to be enabled with kernel command line option it shouldn't be a problem for those who have no use for it. Would you mind running some tests to see if it's working as it should?

@metak That would be useful for people that are doing hardware passthrough.

@danhyal Not sure about adding more extra patches... if others would consider it useful I could add it as an option that can be enabled for testing or something?

Could you include the acs-overrides patch?

Hey everyone. I've enabled hibernation and it seems that clr team plans to enable it soon.
Enable CONFIG_HIBERNATION to support 'suspend to disk' #458

As all other kernels available in Arch Linux repo and AUR have hibernation, maybe the maintainer could change the config to enable it in this kernel too? What do you think @metak?

As for the ACPI bloc in the PKGBUILD, we could add this one:

    ### Set CONFIG_HIBERNATION to make hibernation possible
        msg2 "Make hibernation possible..."
        sed -i "s|# CONFIG_HIBERNATION is not set|CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y|g" ./.config

Or maybe there is a good reason for disabling hibernation but I don't get it.

EDIT: bad copy/paste

Ok thank you @ltsdw. I will think about a custom script to do that.

@berturion sadly I do not know how make this process automatically, so my suggestion is edit PKGBUILD (maybe download and edit everytime that this package is updated) to use your .config previously edit with the changes. Or even using sed to edit. Something like sed -i "s|# CONFIG_HIBERNATION is not set|CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y|g" PATH\ /TO\ /.CONFIG/.config. I think you could possibly write a script to change the PKGBUILD before building it when running yay, but I still don't now how write it. Sorry!

Thanks @ltsdw. Do you know if I can durably set this when an update is available for this AUR package. Like positioning a hook with yay to automatically modify the kernel config before building it ?

@berturion try compiling the kernel with CONFIG_HIBERNATION set to Y.
