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).

#### gpg --recv-keys 79BE3E4300411886 gpg --recv-keys 38DBBDC86092693E #### Won`t work in my case. I manually had to add a keyserver like this: gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net --recv-keys 79BE3E4300411886 gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net --recv-keys 38DBBDC86092693E

Thanks that did the trick! Thanks for putting this in the AUR, much more convenient then patching it myself every time.

You need to import the keys gpg --recv-keys 79BE3E4300411886 gpg --recv-keys 38DBBDC86092693E

Getting the following error, on both header and kernel package: ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... linux-3.19.tar ... FAILED (unknown public key 79BE3E4300411886) patch-3.19.2 ... FAILED (unknown public key 38DBBDC86092693E) ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build linux-vfio. ==> Restart building linux-vfio-headers ? [y/N] Are these keys wrong, where can I change them?

Updated to 3.19.2. Only changes are from the main Arch package.

My intention with this kernel is for it to be as close as possible to the main arch kernel, but with any necessary patches added to support the use of VFIO with KVM to pass through real GPUs and other PCI/PCIe things to VMs. This is very similar to the kernel available at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768, but based off the main arch kernel package instead of the aur linux-mainline package. Sometimes I might get the PKGBUILD ready earlier for a new version, but I won't upload it here until sometime after arch releases that version. You can get it ahead of time from my github repo: https://github.com/zman0900/linux-vfio-aur Currently 3.19 is ready there, based off of what is in arch testing right now.
