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

hello, it seems there's something wrong with tools/bpf/resolve_btfids

here's the origin line 276 in PKGBUILD:

  # required when DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES is enabled
  if [ -f "$builddir/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids" ]; then install -Dt "$builddir/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids" tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids ; fi

I think we should change the line into the following pattern:

  # required when DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES is enabled
  if [ -f "tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids" ]; then install -Dt "$builddir/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids" tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/resolve_btfids ; fi

@j1simon

• It's a kernel feature

• I think it's here:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=linux-xanmod#n126

Do makepkg -o and check file .config, in my case the result has:

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-skylake"

@habernir someone post this:

https://github.com/xanmod/linux/issues/331#issuecomment-1402505778

IDK if it works

well i compile also 6.1.8 xanmod to see if its boot in zen3 but still the same. doesn't boot . i hope their will be a patch for this issue

One question about PKGBUILD: why "Disabling FUNCTION_TRACER/GRAPH_TRACER only if we are not compiling with clang..."?

Another question: how can I avoid adding the optimization type in the kernel name to be consistent with the standard kernel naming? I use ZFS and I have created a module (like zfs-linux-zen) to compile zfs (without DKMS) for this kernel and with the current nomenclature it is a pain.

@ayyash07 I'm sorry, but I cannot reproduce this issue... If you figure out how to workaround, please post here or in upstream project github. Thank you

@RubenKelevra depends on what config you use. Default is upstream's config. So if you think these options should benify whole project, please fill a request in its project github.

I noticed that the msr and cpuinfo modules are missing, while they are part of the Arch Linux kernel. Is that intentional?

@figue

"aperture.patch::https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=303457&action=diff&collapsed=&headers=1&format=raw"

this patch is applied but didnt work either
