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).

jklc: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/linux

They are makedepends as well, you can remove them after building.

why?

It was a mce Hardware Error. I have since installed rasdaemon and updated the intel microcode to the latest(0xae). 5.3.7.arch1-1 has been running smoothly for the past 18 hours.

jklc: I cannot confirm this issue. The kernel appears to be working fine on my machine. The only difference I can think of is I do not use an Intel iGPU on the host.

jklc commented on 2019-10-27 22:06 (UTC)

Tried 5.3.7.arch1-1 on a Z390/9700k today with the lated -Syu pull. KVM/qemu Windows 10 guest with NVidia 2080Ti passthrough is running with some glitch and crashed the arch host within 60 minutes. Still investigating the cause. The last stable working version of linux-vfio for me has been 5.0.13-arch1-1 (f483bc1a95dc)

I will not update this package until I have made the necessary modifications to all patches.

shaybox commented on 2019-09-21 04:02 (UTC)

Looks like the i915 vga patch is broken 5.3+, gonna have to be removed until someone produces a new modified patch to patch the patch

dszryan: put that in your makepkg.conf....................

dszryan commented on 2019-09-08 02:58 (UTC)

the build could do with: build() { cd $_srcname make -j $(($(cat /proc/cpuinfo | awk '/^processor/{print $3}' | wc -l) + 1)) bzImage modules }

to speed the build up, #jobs = #processors + 1

what do you think?
