I already said in my original post that I followed what the wiki says. That's why I asked here. My question isn't how to enable it I've done it many times in the past. My question is why this time /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler still says [cfq] is selected no matter what I do (compiling it with _BFQ_enable_="y", using the elevator=bfq parameter, etc).

bfq is there but the kernel just doesn't want to use it for whatever reason.

edit: Well I'm able to set it with echo bfq > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler (as root, not sudo) at least. I guess being able to set it manually is ok for now.

Use the tmpfile method as shown in the wiki, works for me.

graysky · 2016-03-25 07:46:33

Compiling it in and compiling it in and defaulting it are two different options.

Yeah I tried that method once and it didn't do anything but now it works for some reason. I don't know what changed. Thanks anyways!

graysky · 2016-03-25 19:03:55

@all - I have updated the linux-ck family of packages for 4.4-ck1 in the AUR only at this point. I have asked AUR users to build and test. Repo to be updated shortly.

Thorsten Reinbold · 2016-03-25 19:26:42

linux-ck-headers has a wrong filename. When dl'ing the snapshot, it has the name "linux-ck.tar.gz" (without -headers). Or is this meant to be that way?

Scimmia · 2016-03-25 19:35:23

Thorsten, it's a split package.

Thorsten Reinbold · 2016-03-25 19:39:39

Yes, sorry. I've seen it now in the PKGBUILD.

Thorsten Reinbold · 2016-03-25 20:31:51

@graysky: Compiled. Run's without problems together with nvidia-ck from the AUR. Thanks!

GourdCaptain · 2016-03-27 06:10:37

Which kernel package should I use for a Skylake Intel system? There doesn't appear to be a linux-ck-skylake. Should I use the generic one, or can I try broadwell as the most recent Intel chipset prior to Skylake?

graysky · 2016-03-27 10:48:03

I would use ck-generic at this point. I do not build a skylake flavor.

bstaletic · 2016-03-27 14:14:39

Take a look and available CPU instruction sets, but I think you be better off with broadwell than generic.

mis · 2016-03-27 15:50:46

As far as I see, grayskys patch provides an option for skylake optimizations.
So if that's an option for you, you can build a skylake optimized linux-ck package from AUR.

graysky · 2016-03-27 16:01:40

Correct, the patch does provide the optimized gcc options; I am not building that Arch for repo-ck at the moment.

GourdCaptain · 2016-03-27 19:39:07

Ah. I'll probably stick with Generic when I can get to it - at the moment I'm going to have to compile linux-mainline with a patch in order to get this hardware working properly anyway until 4.6. (And both of these will need to be done on a different system given I'm guessing an Intel Core m5 11-inch convertible tablet is not the best thing to compile a kernel on, anyway.)

Sorry for no reply, ended up reinstalling my OS since it was kinda due anyway. Everything works now! well except virtual box but that is probably my fault. I was wondering, does this kernel have any of the flags it needs to use either apparmour or SElinux?

From what I can see in the source files, graysky follows the Archlinux kernel sources very closely. SELinux isn't in either at all and it doesn't look like AppArmor is enabled.

Graysky do I need to uninstall the virtualbox-ck-guest/host-modules-piledriver in order to upgrade to 4.4.6-1? currently running 4.3.6-1. I get this when try to upgrade:

bill@arch-bill ~ % sudo pacman -S ck-piledriver

:: virtualbox-ck-host-modules-piledriver: installing linux-ck-piledriver (4.4.6-1) breaks dependency 'linux-ck-piledriver<4.4'

or wait for this? Note: Recent changes have made the virtualbox modules within the AUR and repo redundant since a hard dependency in virtualbox itself will result in pacman building the modules via a hook. Therefore, the precompiled virtualbox modules have been temporarily removed from the repo until Arch upstream fixes this.
Thanks.

graysky · 2016-04-01 20:36:30

@WFV - Yes, remove and build on your own until Arch upstream changes the packages back. See the note on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Re … stallation

GourdCaptain · 2016-04-13 20:41:26

Thought I'd mention the newly pushed linux-ck-4.4.7 runs on the Skylake chips suffering c-state based crashes at boot without tweaking. (Got to use the generic package for now, since there's no Skylake one as of now, but it beats using 4.6rc2 and its issues.)

graysky · 2016-04-13 21:54:40

I added the needed support to build skylake packages now. I don't want to rebuild 4.4.7-1 but these will build on the next kernel build. Paolo has indicated that BFQ for 4.5 is ready now, and just needs to be packaged so it will likely be in 4.5.1-1 unless he drags his feet in which case it will be 4.4.8-1.

Cool. Thanks for the repo! (Having a working stable kernel on this means I can finally set up Virtualbox, which is hilariously unstable on 4.6rc2. To be fair, it hasn't been updated with 4.6 support, so I can't blame them, it's just funny how it literally crashes just as the Windows installer loads in the VM.)

graysky · 2016-04-20 21:20:50

OK. The ck-skylake group is officially support in 4.4.8-1 which is online now. Enjoy!

Not like I install/use the -headers package anyway... but since it wants to build regardless, I noticed the following bizarre error.

for i in $(find . -name "Kconfig*"); do

The cp line fails with:

Closer investigation reveals that for any split PKGBUILD, the second package_*() function runs with an IFS=":"
For inscrutable reasons, makechrootpkg doesn't seem to have the same problem. But a fresh user does.

What on earth could this possibly mean??????????
