This package have several variables to enable/disable features.

##
## The following variables can be customized at build time. Use env or export to change at your wish
##
##   Example: env _microarchitecture=98 use_numa=n use_tracers=n makepkg -sc
##
## Look inside 'choose-gcc-optimization.sh' to choose your microarchitecture
## Valid numbers between: 0 to 99
## Default is: 0 => generic
## Good option if your package is for one machine: 98 (Intel native) or 99 (AMD native)
if [ -z ${_microarchitecture+x} ]; then
  _microarchitecture=0
fi

## Disable NUMA since most users do not have multiple processors. Breaks CUDA/NvEnc.
## Archlinux and Xanmod enable it by default.
## Set variable "use_numa" to: n to disable (possibly increase performance)
##                             y to enable  (stock default)
if [ -z ${use_numa+x} ]; then
  use_numa=y
fi

## Since upstream disabled CONFIG_STACK_TRACER (limits debugging and analyzing of the kernel)
## you can enable them setting this option. Caution, because they have an impact in performance.
## Stock Archlinux has this enabled. 
## Set variable "use_tracers" to: n to disable (possibly increase performance, XanMod default)
##                                y to enable  (Archlinux default)
if [ -z ${use_tracers+x} ]; then
  use_tracers=n
fi

# Unique compiler supported upstream is GCC
## Choose between GCC and CLANG config (default is GCC)
## Use the environment variable "_compiler=clang"
if [ "${_compiler}" = "clang" ]; then
  _compiler_flags="CC=clang HOSTCC=clang LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1"
fi

# Choose between the 4 main configs for stable branch. Default x86-64-v1 which use CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU2:
# Possible values: config_x86-64-v1 (default) / config_x86-64-v2 / config_x86-64-v3 / config_x86-64-v4
# This will be overwritten by selecting any option in microarchitecture script
# Source files: https://github.com/xanmod/linux/tree/5.17/CONFIGS/xanmod/gcc
if [ -z ${_config+x} ]; then
  _config=config_x86-64-v1
fi

# Compress modules with ZSTD (to save disk space)
if [ -z ${_compress_modules+x} ]; then
  _compress_modules=n
fi

# Compile ONLY used modules to VASTLY reduce the number of modules built
# and the build time.
#
# To keep track of which modules are needed for your specific system/hardware,
# give module_db script a try: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/modprobed-db
# This PKGBUILD read the database kept if it exists
#
# More at this wiki page ---> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modprobed-db
if [ -z ${_localmodcfg} ]; then
  _localmodcfg=n
fi

# Tweak kernel options prior to a build via nconfig
if [ -z ${_makenconfig} ]; then
  _makenconfig=n
fi

Personally I'm running now xanmod kernel compiled with this:

env _microarchitecture=98 use_tracers=n use_numa=n _localmodcfg=y _compress_modules=y makepkg -sic

Also, you can now create the file myconfig in your local repo to build this package with a custom config or use ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/linux-xanmod/myconfig. This file can be a full kernel config or be a script with several entries to add/remove options (you have several examples in PKGBUILD by using scripts/config):

Code involved:

  for _myconfig in "${SRCDEST}/myconfig" "${HOME}/.config/linux-xanmod/myconfig" "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/linux-xanmod/myconfig" ; do
    if [ -f "${_myconfig}" ] && [ "$(wc -l <"${_myconfig}")" -gt "0" ]; then
      if grep -q 'scripts/config' "${_myconfig}"; then
        # myconfig is a partial file. Executing as a script
        msg2 "Applying myconfig..."
        bash -x "${_myconfig}"
      else
        # myconfig is a full config file. Replacing default .config
        msg2 "Using user CUSTOM config..."
        cp -f "${_myconfig}" .config
      fi
      echo
      break
    fi
  done

ye, I get audio issues on this as well.

Might be a kernel config issue. Gonna recompile and try something

figue commented on 2019-10-27 21:08 (UTC)

rt boots fine, but I can only test that...

@figure that's funny, ill try it out sometime this week

figue commented on 2019-10-27 16:50 (UTC)

@gatlinnewhouse thanks for asking. In fact, I have a new package linux-xanmod-rt (based on https://github.com/xanmod/linux/releases/tag/4.19.79-rt28-xanmod) which I have just published. I was planing to test before make it public but I haven't time... So will be thankful if you try yourself and report in comments:

Any plans to add a variable for "real-time Linux kernel (PREEMPT_RT)" compiling?

figue commented on 2019-09-02 19:34 (UTC)

@eliminater74 thanks. Please update your local repo and see if it's ok now.

eliminater74 commented on 2019-09-02 19:08 (UTC)

Please add CPIO as a dependency since its required to build kernel, as its used to process headers and so on.

Please see this link: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linux-lqx/#comment-702055

@frpenguin error should be before... Try to look upper or change MAKEFLAGS="-j1" in makepkg.conf

frpenguin commented on 2019-09-01 23:31 (UTC) (edited on 2019-09-01 23:33 (UTC) by frpenguin)

@figue no error message was produced. The command was: env _microarchitecture=13 use_numa=n use_tracers=n use_pds=n makepkg -sce. Same result.

figue commented on 2019-08-13 21:51 (UTC)

@frpenguin without clearing cache, launch: "makepkg -e" and see if it finishes. Could be a memory issue...
