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

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. This prevents unnecessary signups.

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.

PKGBUILD environment variable customization
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
- _optimize_defconfig: Applies package maintainer-picked configuration changes to your defconfig. Only takes effect with _use_current being enabled
- _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 open an issue
- _subarch: Specifies the subarchitecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 41/MGENERIC_CPU (Generic x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number or subarch name
- _subarch_microarch: Specifies the microarchitecture to compile for. Only applies to and is required by the MGENERIC_CPU subarch. Must be a number between 1 and 4 (click for more information)
- _debug: Force enables debug options when set to y, force disables debug options when set to n or uses the config defaults when unset
- _show_compile: Enables verbose-er compilation output and displays all executing make targets

All of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for _subarch and _debug. For more information please check their documentation inside the PKGBUILD file

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.

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.

@skirmish Removing those patches shouldn't cause any problems. Can you replicate your issue on stock arch kernel?

6.2.6 has a very laggy USB mouse for me. Reverted to 6.2.2, everything is fine again.

Could it be that removing xanmod patches in 6.2.6 affected USB mice? Anyone else experiencing the same?

In the PKGBUILD it looks like the line scripts/config --enable FONT_TER16x32 needs to be replaced with scripts/config --keep-case --enable FONT_TER16x32, otherwise the script will uppercase it to an invalid config option.

@Gonzo2028 : rm *patch; makepkg -sriCfc

@Khaithang: it looks like LLVM build is an option passed to makepkg (in the PKGBUILD you can see it adds things to BUILD_FLAGS). Try: _use_llvm_lto=1 makepkg -sriCfc

Ideas to this issues? It was building fine before until a couple of days ago.

Just like it prompt us to select the architecture, it would be good if it prompts for the llvm flag as well. llvm/clang compiler is faster so I think it is it should be the preferred one. Being able to turn it on right before compiling starts would be great.

Don't know why (Must be missing something), but when i try to pass the environment variables i want for this kernel, doesn't seem to work. I'm using Garuda Linux, which is still an arch derivative. Odd that something so simple has me stumped atm lol

@Aleksana Try initcall_blacklist=kvm_intel to blacklist built-in module?

I got the kvm_intel issue again.When I compile on an intel x86_64 targeted at amd zen3 subarch, the kernel loads both kvm_intel and kvm amd,throwing an error

kvm: no hardware support for 'kvm_intel'

Have tried to append kernel parameter modprobe.blacklist=kvm_intel but it didn't help. It looks a bit annoying as I'm using plymouth.
