This package exists for the specific purpose of adding ported patches based on those originally created by Alex Williamson for:

Arbitrary patches will not be added.

Refer to the wiki on PCI passthrough and this blog post on IOMMU groups for risks/caveats before using this package.

Regular AUR etiquette applies as well (knowledge of makepkg and searching the wiki/Arch forums is expected, and AUR helpers or Arch-based distros that are not Arch Linux are unsupported).

Does anybody know of a good tutorial on how to apply the patches by hand?

I usually rely on markzz to update the package, since I don't know how to do it myself, but I need to update the kernel soon.

@aknarts This kernel is too out of date to work with most up to date dkms modules now.

aknarts commented on 2020-02-12 20:42 (UTC)

Anybody has an elegant solution to "incompatible gcc/plugin versions" when building dkms modules(namely nvidia-dkms)?

JuniorJPDJ commented on 2020-02-03 07:11 (UTC)

Don't worry. I'm just making sure you remember :D

markzz commented on 2020-02-03 06:10 (UTC)

I only forgot a little bit. I did some traveling over the last week and didn't have time to get to it. I will make every attempt to get to this in the next week, but sometimes life gets busy.

Next weekend just finished and new linux major version came. Do you remember about us? ;)

markzz commented on 2020-01-22 07:37 (UTC)

Yeah, that's on me. I'll put it on my TODO list for this weekend.

Hello,

This package has been flagged out-of-date for some time... any news about updates?

Thanks a lot!

Just thought I'd add this in here For those looking to compile for 5.4.6.2:

Change pkgver in PKGBUILD

Replace add-acs-override.patch with updated one listed in a previous comment

Modify i915-vga-arbiter.patch as follows:

  • For last diff, change all instances of intel_drv.h to display/intel_display.h

  • Change 1457 to 432 (line numbers beneath above)

Finally update sha256 as needed in PKGBUILD
