Tired of compiling? Use this binary repo instead! Add this at the end of /etc/pacman.conf :

[linuxkernels]
Server = http://nhameh.ovh/$repo/$arch
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

And where exactly do you want that "option" to be? I think I get the main idea of what you are trying to say but I'm not really sure. This kernel comes with a config and patches that I deem best for znver2, and its static. If you want to change the buildproces to something dynamic towards your system and preferences, I am unsure what you need this kernel for ... ?

Hi, Just wondering

Am I missing where the option to build this with only ldconfig (only using the modules that are loaded with modprobed-db)?

There are a lot of modules I'm trying not to include in the build

Thank you very much: As you see, I am not an expert ;) I changed makepkg.conf .

"Maybe the option "-j(Nr_of_cores-2)" as default might be a useful parameter?"

I dont control that variable, its provided by makepkg.conf, which is provided by core/pacman. I can only give you my experiences, and I had a situation where I had to do a "nr_of_cors+ 2+" -J flag.

I'm just glad you found your problem :-)

I have 8 cores, single threaded (4700U, laptop) and I tested the build process with -j4 and -j6, since I was still logged on.

Although I did not benchmark the processes precisely, -j6 built the kernel in a few minutes, while the default from the package was inacceptable long while the cores were sleeping ;-)

Maybe the option "-j(Nr_of_cores-2)" as default might be a useful parameter?

Thanks for the hint with -O3, I reset it to the default. Kind regards

how much cores you have and how many workers you pick? try adding 5 workers more than your threads and see what happens.

Be careful with choosing -O3, not all makefiles/packages support this and you might run into compatibility issues.

PeerK commented on 2021-10-10 10:26 (UTC)

For the last few kernel updates, the build process does not run on all availiable core.

Since this takes obviously much, much more time, I wondered if there is a technical reason, not to use on all the cores any more.

I am a noob, but I wonder, if "-j <no. of cores - 1>" in $MAKEFLAGS and "-O3" in $CFLAGS could speed up building the kernel.

Cheers,

@eggz provides=linux description in wiki about reasons are quite full, but I wonder, what will happen if one would actually add this to a PKGBUILD, lets say separate one, specificaly tailored to replace existing default kernel, I mean like, would arch people take this AUR package down or it would just block a merge to community repo.

Would like to here a comment about that from Arch people.

sorry bkuri, I got told by arch linux staff not to do so. I find it annoying aswel.

@eggz Thanks for maintaining this package.

Would it be possible to add provides=linux to the PKGBUILD? I'm trying to remove the built-in manjaro kernel by using the following command mhwd-kernel -r linux510, but I'm receiving an error like "removing linux510 breaks dependency 'linux'".

Cheers!
