Adding

scripts/config --disable CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY

to myconfig does solve the "Failed to insert module 'nvidia': Key was rejected by service" problem.

Anyone who configured secure boot using sbctl and want to load dkms modules can try this solution.

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

@Teddo ??? maybe some odd issue with AUR? This package is working fine.

I can't download the package. fatal: branch name not valid: init.defaultBranch =

@Singularity can you upload myconfig somewhere?

Edit: you can try to execute directly myconfig as a script:

Maybe something like this?

@figue Thanks. Didn't make a difference. I also tried the shell built-in "command". I'm think that it happens already at the time of reading the file.

@Singularity it seems that bash parse this line as:

scripts/config --set-str CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES '""'

and then scripts/config doesn't like it...

Can you try to modify PKGBUILD and add the following line:

set -- scripts/config

before this?

set -- $_linec

So the final code will be:

      cat "${startdir}"/myconfig | while read -r _linec ; do
        if echo "$_linec" | grep "scripts/config" ; then
          set -- scripts/config
          set -- $_linec
          "$@"
        else
          warning "Line format incorrect, ignoring..."
        fi
      done

@MithicSpirit I don't use Grub since 0.97... So I don't know. If you know the way, I can modify the sources. Anyway, this package is based on linux in core/linux

@figue Yes, if I execute the command form the last post in terminal (or the PKGBUILD), the result in the .config will be CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="".

But if placing this command inside the myconfig file, the resulting line in the .config will be CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="\"\""

Is there a way to make this package automatically replace the main entry for Arch in GRUB? Currently, I'm having to manually edit the main one in grub-customizer.

@Singularity do you mean that the myconfig process parses some commands in a bad way? Can you provide your full myconfig please?
