Did some people find evidences of a performance boost by using this kernel instead of using arch linux kernel ? Can you share the commands or tools you used that shows significant performance changes please (good or bad) ?
I tried:
sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=4 --cpu-max-prime=9999 run
and
time $(i=0; while (( i < 9999999 )); do (( i ++ )); done)
Results between the kernels are similar.
@zheiling You'll have to provide more info about your setup and logs if someone is to help you. I don't have nvidia card so there's also that.
With this kernel optimus-manager switch from Intel to NVIDIA does not work. It just switches to Intel again and again, when I choose NVIDIA.
Thank you @metak, I should have seen this, sorry. It works now. I needed to run this command:
pacman-key --lsign-key 50AAD02AEB1F61C9
@berturion Have you imported the key as it says in the wiki? Key ID: 50AAD02AEB1F61C9
Hello, I wanted to include your repo in my pacman configuration so I added this in /etc/pacman.conf :
[home_metakcahura_kernel_Arch_Extra_standard]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/metak-kernel-mirrorlist
And this in /etc/pacman.d/metak-kernel-mirrorlist :
Server = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/x86_64
When I update pacman repos, I have this :
erreur : home_metakcahura_kernel_Arch_Extra_standard : la signature de « home:metakcahura OBS Project <home:metakcahura@build.opensuse.org> » est de confiance inconnue
Is that can work? How can I trust this gpg?
@fidasx It takes some time to rebase all the patches and test everything with major versions. I don't know when it's coming, but my guess is in couple of days since the upstream is already at 5.2.1.
hey @metak ty amazing pkg any idea when 5.2+ its coming
@zheiling That's what clr team set as default, but I can disable it as it is in arch kernel. 5.1.17-2 (clr 5.1.16-795)
@metak /usr/share/doc/systemd/README suggests to set CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=n. As default, it turned on.

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.

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: Invokesmake menuconfig(ncurses-based default configuration menu) before compilation starts_makenconfig: Invokesmake nconfig(ncurses-based nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts_makexconfig: Invokesmake 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 withIKCONFIG_PROC_copyfinalconfig: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root askconfig-newbefore 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 is40(Generic-x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number_debug: Force enables debug options when set toy, force disables debug options when set tonor uses the config defaults when unsetAll of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for
_subarchand_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
makepkgas-is works fine too.
