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 /usr/share/doc/systemd/README suggests to set CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=n. As default, it turned on.

@zheiling Since it's also enabled in the default arch kernel it's not a problem. Done in 5.1.16-4 (clr 5.1.16-794).

Could you enable by default CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER=y?

metak commented on 2019-07-04 22:26 (UTC)

@danhyal Patch is pulled from linux-ck and it's broken over there right now (can't set native this way), but it seems like it works just fine in this package. I'll enable it in next update and if there are some issues please report them.

amelia commented on 2019-07-04 21:04 (UTC)

Why don't you set the subarch to 27? since gcc will detect all the available instructions sets, it shouldn't cause any problems.

amelia commented on 2019-06-30 15:54 (UTC)

@metak I have tested it and the patch seems to be working as expected, thanks for including it.

metak commented on 2019-06-27 20:38 (UTC)

@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?

amelia commented on 2019-06-27 16:39 (UTC)

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

metak commented on 2019-06-26 19:29 (UTC)

@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?

amelia commented on 2019-06-26 18:22 (UTC)

Could you include the acs-overrides patch?
