There's a problem with this version. If _subarch is set, then the line:
yes "$_subarch" | make oldconfig
will echo "_subarch" to the newly added interactive item:
Automatically load TTY Line Disciplines (LDISC_AUTOLOAD) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
and will cause infinite looping. The solution is of course unsetting _subarch temporarily.
@longspear Never experienced it myself.
Hi there, is anyone else experiencing a recurring "ping: no buffer space available" error with this particular Kernel?
@aorth If you're experiencing this issue only on linux-clear kernel it may be due to something clear specific? Dunno. Please link that lvm2 issue in your clearlinux-distribution github comment so that clear team can check it out if they haven't already.
@metak it looks like this issue will be fixed in LVM2. I'm not sure why it only affects me on linux-clear, though...
@aorth Seems like this issue is already reported upstream. LVM Clearlinux takes a long time to shut down
@metak yeah I saw that thread. They seem to conclude that it's something related to LVM, and I am indeed using LVM on LUKS, though for me the issue only happens on linux-clear. The screen is black with a blinking cursor and eventually (maybe 90 seconds, I should actually time it) it says something about failing to unmount oldroot and then it reboots.
Edit: thanks @metak. I won't spam here anymore. Nice to know I'm not alone and that someone has even reported it upstream. For reference, here is the message that is spammed after the cursor blinks for ~90 seconds and it finally reboots:
[ 116.123456] sd-umoun[1040]: Failed to unmount /oldroot: Device or resource busy
[ 116.123456] sd-umoun[1041]: Failed to unmount /oldroot/dev: Device or resource busy
[ 117.123457] reboot: Restarting system@aorth Have you checked this thread? https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/b6hbca/need_some_help_figuring_out_why_my_system_hangs/
Does anyone get a blinking cursor for about one minute on shutdown? It's the one annoying thing that causes me to stop running linux-clear. Not sure if it's a systemd job waiting or something...
@ltsdw Thanx. Seems like it's already fixed by clear team in 5.0.1-716.

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.
