Proposal update
The package has been updated to 6.11.7 (clr 6.11.6-1477), and with that landlock support has been enabled the package source moved to https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/linux-clear.

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

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.

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
_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 write a comment
_subarch: Specifies the sub architecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 40 (Generic-x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number
_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. See their descriptions for more information.

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.

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. Tihs prevents unnecessary signups.

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.

@xuanruiqi I had to comment out that line in PKGBUILD file when I synced it with stock arch because it would fail to build. (not enabled on Clear) It needs some other debugging things enabled like CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF, CONFIG_PAHOLE_HAS_SPLIT_BTF which will increase the size and compilation time. I can enable the debug info if others want it, but I would rather not.

As for dkms error, I just tried building random module (rtl88x2bu) and it builds fine. (gcc & llvm) Please specify which module/versions, etc. (whole build log)

xuanruiqi commented on 2022-01-21 17:02 (UTC) (edited on 2022-01-21 20:26 (UTC) by xuanruiqi)

SOLUTION: please fix the PKGBUILD, add this line, otherwise external DKMS modules can't be built:

install -Dt "$builddir/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids" tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids

See diff in official linux package commit history.

Hey all! With LLVM compiled kernel (5.16.2), I get this error when I try to compile DKMS modules:

/bin/sh: line 1: ./tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids: No such file or directory

This error is absent in linux-clear <=5.16.1.

GCC doesn't work either. I suspect this is a really silly mistake, but I can't fix it...

@metak Thank you!

metak commented on 2022-01-11 17:37 (UTC)

@k0r0ng It's not enabled by default in CLR config file, I've enabled it in ˙5.15.14-1˙.

k0r0ng commented on 2022-01-11 15:06 (UTC)

Why CONFIG_KPROBES not included by default?

d00d00 commented on 2021-12-11 05:13 (UTC)

@metak @Moviuro You're both legends. Compiling on Skylake for Atom with single short script now, no interaction required. Thank you so much!

saltyming commented on 2021-12-10 12:31 (UTC)

@metak I can confirm that 5.15.7-3 and 5.15.7-4 changes work fine here! Happy to use clang kernel with new dkms support :)

metak commented on 2021-12-10 11:58 (UTC)

@d00d00 Added in 5.15.7-2. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72756

@xuanruiqi Added in 5.15.7-3. Haven't tried it too much so test it and we'll see.

@Moviuro Added in 5.15.7-4. I also changed it for the other variables as well.

Moviuro commented on 2021-12-10 11:13 (UTC)

Could we get the following diff in the PKGBUILD? rationale: I can now do _subarch=26 makepkg -sriCfc; and it correctly compiles for skylake, with no interaction from me. That way, I don't need to edit the PKGBUILD, or wait until I'm asked for the subarch in an interactive way.

The : "${var:="value"}" is a POSIX-compliant way to set a variable to a default value (in our case: the empty string), but only if it wasn't already set. This change has no impact for people who simply type makepkg, and it will still ask them (interactively) which subarch to compile for.

Could we have an option to enable Clang builds for the kernel? I would like to use a Clang/LLVM build with LTO.
