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

So I was waiting for an update of the cachy branch, but as it seems will not be updated, I'll release 5.9.11 without it.

figue commented on 2020-11-23 19:38 (UTC) (edited on 2020-11-23 19:40 (UTC) by figue)

@xuanruiqi cachy is in a separate branch (upstream decision) and in the previous release it wasn't updated. Yesterday I forgot to push the local commit enabling it again... :P

So, here you have: 7585470cc7cb

xuanruiqi commented on 2020-11-23 03:49 (UTC)

Why is the Cachy part commented out though?

figue commented on 2020-11-18 09:03 (UTC)

mmm no... What config do you use?

NateR100 commented on 2020-11-17 21:57 (UTC)

Yes, i do. It works fine with 'linux', just not linux-xanmod. I guess there's 2 issues, one: zfs not loaded automatically and two: ssd missing in /dev/disk/by-id. Do you know anything I can check with regards to the ssd not showing up?

figue commented on 2020-11-17 21:45 (UTC)

Do you have the hook zfs before filesystems in mkinitcpio? I don't know much about zfs, but it seems to be needed...

NateR100 commented on 2020-11-17 21:07 (UTC)

@figue thanks, I checked with lsinitcpio and i do indeed see the zfs.ko file. I added break=premount to get to a shell, and modprobe zfs does load it correctly, but then my ssd doesn't show up (in dev/disk/by-id), and zfs fails to mount because it can't find the pool.

figue commented on 2020-11-17 08:46 (UTC)

@NateR100 no as far as I know... Can you check that .ko file is created after dkms process?

NateR100 commented on 2020-11-17 04:37 (UTC)

I've built and installed this kernel, and am using it with 'zfs-dkms', yet when booting I get "zfs modules are not loaded". The dkms modules are installed. The same setup works fine on default linux kernel package. Is there something special that needs to be done? Thanks
