 Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2019 8:04 am Post subject: gentoo-sources - "experimental" USE not working? |
 |
|
| Code: | # emerge -pv gentoo-sources
[ebuild R ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.4.180 USE="experimental -build -symlink" |
However, the "Processor family" prompt in menuconfig only shows the standard choices, not the extended list that previously appeared when these experimental Gentoo patches were applied.
I've noticed this after upgrading from 4.4.156 to 4.4.180 after the new line of Intel vulnerabilities hit and patches were backported.
What has changed? Is this by design or is it something I can debug and fix?

Please check https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_gcc_patch where | Code: | | enable_additional_cpu_optimizations_for_gcc_v4.9+_kernel_v3.15+.patch |
might do the trick.
Make sure you keep an alternate kernel to boot from.
Thks 4 ur attention. |

Huh, you're right, the patch that you linked is no longer present in the patches tarball... | Code: | $ tar -xvf genpatches-4.4-181.experimental.tar.xz
./5001_block-cgroups-kconfig-build-bits-for-BFQ-v7r11-4.7.patch
./5002_block-introduce-the-BFQ-v7r11-I-O-sched-for-4.7.patch1
./5003_block-bfq-add-Early-Queue-Merge-EQM-to-BFQ-v7r11-for-4.7.patch
./5004_blkck-bfq-turn-BFQ-v7r11-for-4.7.0-into-BFQ-v8r3-for-4.patch1
$ tar -xvf genpatches-4.4-165.experimental.tar.xz
./5000_enable-additional-cpu-optimizations-for-gcc.patch
./5001_block-cgroups-kconfig-build-bits-for-BFQ-v7r11-4.7.patch
./5002_block-introduce-the-BFQ-v7r11-I-O-sched-for-4.7.patch1
./5003_block-bfq-add-Early-Queue-Merge-EQM-to-BFQ-v7r11-for-4.7.patch
./5004_blkck-bfq-turn-BFQ-v7r11-for-4.7.0-into-BFQ-v8r3-for-4.patch1
./5010_enable-additional-cpu-optimizations-for-gcc-4.9.patch

This is disappointing, any ideas as to why they were dropped? Were they no longer compatible/working?
The 4.4-175 release seems to be the last one containing said patches. |

Here's 4.4, 4.9 & 4.19 kernels,
I don't keep track which requires manual patching, as it isn't time consumming to detect when to.
says it all in a second anf my kernell update procedure maintain .config backups.
