Hi,
Is it normal than the differents kernels are not in the repo?
I remember reading something vague about it on reddit, I find it sad that they are not present as they would probably benefits a lot from the rebuild.
Thanks you a lot for your project!

Without modification of the PKGBUILD the differents kernels wouldn't benefit of any optimization, @anonfunc could always maybe see if it isn't possible to add the differents lines needed with sed for example. But i clearly don't think it going to append since the repo try to do the recompile without modifing the PKGBUILD.

I could always make a custom PKGBUILD to have a V3 kernel in the repo, but i don't think @anonfunc is going to want to provide it.

I don't understand sadly, but I acknowledge that this is not possible.
Thanks you!

I think graysky does optimized kernels in their linux-ck repo. Patches are here: https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_compiler_patch.

If I can think of an elegant solution to apply then to the PKGBUILDs without much manual intervention I would be all for including them.

Implemented in 2d9e4e166a.

I'll requeue the kernel packages as soon as the recent builds are finished.

linux, linux-lts (build date Tue 23 Nov 2021 00:04:15 UTC or later; there was an earlier build that did not have the right config option set) and linux-hardened build successfully.

I tested linux-lts and it seems to work fine. More testing is welcome.

linux-zen fails because the patches from graysky are based on vanilla linux. I can try to rebase the 5.15 patch later to maybe get it working on zen.

You can verify that patches applied successfully by checking /proc/config.gz:

$ zgrep CPU3 /proc/config.gz

CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU3=y

Turns out graysky's patches are already applied to linux-zen. I adjusted ALHP's logic to allow for skipping patching and just enabling the appropriate config option.

Rebuilding later, after the current builds are finished.
