[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

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
