[OS-BUILD PATCHv2] [redhat] configs: Compress kernel with zstd cleanup
by Jeremy Linton (via Email Bridge) 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

From: Jeremy Linton <jlinton(a)redhat.com> [redhat] configs: Compress kernel with zstd cleanup Zstd compressed kernels consume less disk space and decompress faster than gziped ones. For example, kernel 6.12rc3 aarch64's on disk size is ~22% smaller and boots ~16% faster on a RPi4. Since this was already on for some x86 flavors, lets propogate the setting to all appropriate architectures and kernel flavors.

[OS-BUILD PATCH] redhat: Drop bpftool from kernel spec
by Viktor Malik (via Email Bridge) 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

From: Viktor Malik <vmalik(a)redhat.com> redhat: Drop bpftool from kernel spec We are going to build bpftool as a separate package. There are 2 main reasons for this change: (1) bpftool version is independent of the kernel and having it in the kernel spec causes all kinds of problems and (2) bpftool is loosely coupled to the libbpf library which is also packaged separately. Note that bpftool is still built during kernel build in 2 places: - Bootstrap bpftool for generating vmlinux.h which goes into kernel-devel. - As a part of kernel BPF selftests build. Here, we opt to use the bpftool from kernel sources rather than the system one because upstream selftests sometimes require unreleased bpftool features to build successfully.

The kernel-ark os-build branch has been rebased
by Justin Forbes 18 Nov '24

18 Nov '24

Please rebase any pending MRs and repush. As we have done since 5.15, we have done this again for os-build, we expect to keep it up as a cadence with every upstream release. This means we will do it again when 6.13 releases, and again with 6.14... It is difficult to manage a regularly rebased tree, because any outstanding MR is invalidated and has to also be rebased. But not doing somewhat regular rebases can also be difficult in the spirit of the openness that Fedora is based upon. While there are plenty of ways to see which patches we carry compared to upstream, some of those patches are fairly old, and would not apply cleanly at all to a modern tree after several releases were merged in with them. As we have gotten into a flow of things with merge requests, we can get to the point of very few outstanding MRs towards the end of a release cycle, and that makes it an opportune time to rebase the tree. This also means that the patches we carry should be no more than 1 release out of date, making them easier to apply to various other trees. I do realize that this is a minor inconvenience every 2-3 months, but I believe the results are worth it. Thanks, Justin

arkify: build Fedora SRPMs from arbitrary Linux kernel Git repos using the kernel-ark infrastructure
by Thorsten Leemhuis 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Would you like to create kernel RPM packages from arbitrary Linux kernel Git repos? Packages built from SRPMs processes by rpmbuild, mock, koji, or copr that focus on just the core kernel and are pretty close to the official Fedora kernel packages? Then I got something new for you: "arkify", a script which enables exactly the above. Warning, it's still WIP. But if you want to give it a try, checkout a branch with the Linux sources and run: $ curl --silent 'https://gitlab.com/knurd42/linux/-/raw/arkify-arkify/arkify' | bash Afterwards execute 'make dist-srpm' to create a SRPM which you then pass to rpmbuild, mock, koji, or copr for building. Arkify and the repos it utilizes are kind of a byproduct from the infrastructure I use to build the packages for my kernel vanilla repositories: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories-FAQ#Where_is_the… The infrastructure that enables the SRPM generation with arkify is a downstream of the infrastructure used by kernel-ark, which among others is used to maintain the code that creates the SRPMs from which the Fedora's kernel packages are built: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/ That ark-infrastructure is usable independently via upstream's kernel-ark/ark-infra branch: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/tree/ark-infra?ref_type=heads My stuff is inspired and quite close to that, but with a few very small changes to facilitate building kernels for development or testing fixes: * Improved support for proper Fedora releases (aka !rawhide). * It focusses on just the core kernel and thus avoids spending time on building: - the -rt kernel. - the -debug kernel that has all sorts of debug options enabled - the -efiuki subpackage - subpackages like -tools, -perf, -selftests, -bpftool et. al. (which in my experience is where most of the build errors occur) If you need any of this, re-enable what you need in redhat/kernel.spec.template. * Speed up SRPM generation: - Use multiple threads by default for compressing and config generation. - Try less hard compressing the kernel sources during tarball generation, as a smaller tarball for this use case is not worth spending too much time on. Arkify afaics also makes it easier than kernel-ark/ark-infra to maintain your own changes on-top of the ark infrastructure in case you need any. Maybe the solution is over-engineered, but it afaics reduced both the number as well as the complexity of merge conflicts I had to deal with while I maintained downstream changes for my kernel vanilla packages on top of kernel-ark/ark-infra due to its daily bulk-update method from kernel-ark/os-build. For more details see; * the arkify README: https://gitlab.com/knurd42/linux/-/blob/arkify-arkify/README.md * the arkify source (bash) and the poor man's todo list at the top: https://gitlab.com/knurd42/linux/-/blob/arkify-arkify/arkify Ciao, Thorsten
