[arch-general] kernel compilation
hello members, I'm not used to compiling and therefore even less to compiling the kernel.... I followed the instructions given by this page <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel/Arch_Build_System>. after compilation, if I modify/patch file src/linux-4.19/block/blk-core.c, do I have to replace the kernel ? the kernel and all its modules ? or just the module concerned by the change (if it concerns a module) ? regards, lacsaP.

Is it even necessary for you to compile it at all, Pascal? There are several kernels already available, such as lts, hardened, and zen, and possibly even more on the AUR[1]

You just need to replace the affected binaries, if kernel version and all configuration stays the same. Of course it would be better to make a proper package. You may package out-of-tree modules separately, but you need a full kernel package for in-tree modules. Have a look at the PKGBUILDs in the repositories. There are examples for both. KR
