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. Enabled by default, unset for 'pv' output

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.

@metak could you elaborate , is it boot option or build option ??

metak commented on 2018-06-30 12:04 (UTC)

@A.J Look below in comments for my comment to @Osleg about option to allow unsigned modules.

A.J commented on 2018-06-30 04:17 (UTC)

sorry for the noop question , but i couldn't get nvidia-dkms working and when i modprobe it i get :

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Required key not available

@ltsdw Thank you for reporting back. I don't use bluetooth at all so I never paid too much attention to it, but it seems that quite a few people do use it so I'll enable the crypto_user module in next update.

ltsdw commented on 2018-06-25 22:56 (UTC)

@metak yeah, exactly, bluetooth working like a charm after enabling CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER. I also enabled CONFIG_BT_ATH3K for precaution, but I'm actually using btusb. It's only needed set CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER to get bluetooth working.

@ltsdw Sorry, I'm a bit busy right now. After checking again I'll have to enable user_crypto with next update to comply with arch packaging.

bluez package in arch /usr/lib/modules-load.d/bluez.conf needs this module crypto_user at boot time.

Edit: can you build this kernel with CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER option enabled and check if bluetooth is working properly?

ltsdw commented on 2018-06-25 21:23 (UTC) (edited on 2018-06-25 21:24 (UTC) by ltsdw)

I'll try CONFIG_BT_ATH3K

ltsdw commented on 2018-06-25 20:02 (UTC)

@metak really is in the comments, thanks. One more thing, it's directly linked with the fact if bluetooth works or not?

metak commented on 2018-06-25 19:34 (UTC) (edited on 2018-06-25 19:35 (UTC) by metak)

@ltsdw If you need user_crypto module then you'll have to enable it CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER since this .config doesn't. I mentioned this somewhere in comments bellow.

This module is built in stock arch kernel though.

ltsdw commented on 2018-06-25 18:05 (UTC)

Having problem with bluez, if I uncomment user_crypto line in /usr/lib/modules-load.d/bluez.conf will fail to load systemd-modules-load at boot, basicly journalctl acuses not finding user_crypto module. Works well in arch's kernel, some idea?
