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.

@metak Sounds good to me. Having it as a module should be enough. Also regarding this comment from the issue tracker, we don't have the /usr/lib/kernel file. At least I don't..

metak commented on 2019-10-30 12:27 (UTC)

@tam1m With next update I can enable CONFIG_IKCONFIG=m (as a module) and CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y? This was already brought up upstream on ClearLinux issue tracker and they decided not to enable it because not many people use this and it wastes more memory.

@metak

You were right, thanks a lot!

tam1m commented on 2019-10-30 12:07 (UTC) (edited on 2019-10-30 12:07 (UTC) by tam1m)

I think it would be good to enable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC/CONFIG_IKCONFIG by default. Is that something you would consider?

metak commented on 2019-10-30 11:24 (UTC)

@niklaszantner Do you have sha256 and sha512 modules listed in MODULES=() in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf? If you do, try removing them as they're built into the kernel.

@metak Big thanks for adding them to the package. Can now set kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=1 and apparmor is working properly. No issues encountered so far.

metak commented on 2019-10-26 14:12 (UTC)

@wan109020 In 5.3.7-3, I've enabled Yama, Apparmor, SELinux and TOMOYO security options just like in stock arch kernel. Please test and report.

wan109020 commented on 2019-10-26 09:47 (UTC)

Package works great, Just that is it possible to add Yama support? Would like to set the kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=1 as it's the Arch default. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Security#ptrace_scope

Also, chrome sandbox seems to be more powerful with Yama (chrome://sandbox)

Would also be nice to have Apparmor/SELinux support too

Thanks

@metak It's working for me, as I said, I just blacklisted the nvidiafb module and the nvidia started to work. Thanks.
