`linux-aarch64-mainline(-git)`: experimental pure mainline kernels #9

Closed 7Ji closed 10 months ago

7Ji commented 10 months ago

These two kernel packages would use configs dynamically generated with make allmodconfig and only apply some minor changes to the config about the compression to prefer zstd to stick to the style of Arch kernels.

In a sense they should support any SBCs supported in mainline Linux. These include all SBCs already supported by our other existing kernels. But broad testing is needed to confirm this.

They're pure mainline code and there would be zero patching involved. This also means vendor-specific stuffs would stop to function, like mpp. If mpp is wanted on a mainline-ish codebase then linux-panthor should be checked.

The non-git package tracks the latest tag, while the -git package tracks the latest commit. As of writing they're at 6.7-rc3 and 6.7.rc3.33.g3b47bc037bd4. They're still being built and not pushed to the repo yet.

The allmodconfig clearly won't work properly. Not even on my BPi M5, which has been supported by mainline since a long time ago. Close this until I have time to create a fine-tuned config for all boards we support.
