The PKGBUILD file supports a few different configurable build-time options:

• _makenconfig Tweak kernel options prior to a build via nconfig. Pseudo-graphical menu based on ncurses. 1 2
• _localmodcfg Only compile active modules to VASTLY reduce the number of modules built and the build time.
• Please read arch wiki page for detailed explanation on how to use it.
• _subarch Enable additional optimization/tuning for kernel builds by adding more micro-architectures options. Default is Generic-x86-64 number 36 if nothing else is selected.
• PKGBUILD file with the list of architectures
• graysky kernel_compiler_patch
• _use_current Use the current kernel's .config file. Enabling this option will use the .config of the RUNNING kernel rather than the ARCH defaults. Useful when the package gets updated and you already went through the trouble of customizing your config options. NOT recommended when a new kernel is released, but again, convenient for package bumps.
• _use_llvm_lto Compile the kernel with LLVM/Clang.
• _debug Enable y some additional debug features present in arch kernel, but not in Clear upstream. n to force disable or leave empty to ignore.

Lastly, build the kernel by setting your environment variable env _subarch=40 _localmodcfg=y.

1. Binaries available in my repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/x86_64/

SigLevel = Never
Server = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/$arch

THIS IS OPTIONAL:

2. After install adjust your boot cmd line. ClearLinux uses clr-boot-manager which takes care of that. This is upstream default:

quiet console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 cryptomgr.notests initcall_debug intel_iommu=igfx_off kvm-intel.nested=1 no_timer_check noreplace-smp page_alloc.shuffle=1 rcupdate.rcu_expedited=1 rootfstype=ext4,btrfs,xfs,f2fs tsc=reliable rw 

@tam1m It's also reported on archlinux bug tracker. I've applied the patch from the bug repport in 5.4.3-2 if you can test it?

I'm experiencing this bug bug with linux-clear 5.4.2-1. The e1000e driver constantly crashes.

@danhyal I've added it, but if there's any complaints/regressions/etc. I'll have to remove it. So I hope you and others can test it and report back.

consider adding the fsync patch? https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/futex-wait-multiple-5.2.1.patch?h=linux-fsync

@bjoe2k4 You can manually re-add the key (download the key with wget, import and sign it).

But it's more or less useless since signatures are broken in open-build-service for pacman. Might as well set SigLevel = Never.

Thank you vary much

@Morisson 5.3.11-3 (clr 5.3.11-868) enable ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE

Hi. Can you change kernel config from your reposotory? ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE=y I need add patched dsdt for my laptop. Please)

@danhyal I'm afraid that's not possible and it kinda defeats the purpose of this package IMO. I already added two patches (cpu optimizations and acs overrides) because they're small and don't change the kernel in radical way. On the other hand -ck patches are much bigger, touch many more files, change a bunch of existing config options, etc. There could also be clashes between -ck and -clear patches... Besides, this kernel is already optimized for desktop/laptop users so I don't really see a point?
