After the recent upgrade to nvidia 465.24 I received the above warning when running mkinitcpio.
I ran modprobe nvidia and regenerated mkinitcpio as I noticed the module wasn't loaded automatically after the update but mkinit flags the same warning.
Is this a bug that will be eventually patched?

Try the following change to the nvidia-utils PKGBUILD to add the firmware:
diff --git a/trunk/PKGBUILD b/trunk/PKGBUILD

Thanks loqs. What is the best way to do this? Do I download the PKGBUILD from source or is there an automated way of doing this via pacman?
Offline
Pacman doesn't do that but there are some tools mentioned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … ILD_source that can help you here, though you indeed could just download that single PKGBUILD

I downloaded the PKGBUILD for nvidia-utils and had a look. It looks like loqs patch has already been incorporated:

I located gsp.bin in ~/.local/share/Trash/files/src/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-465.24.02/firmware/gsp.bin
It seems that the firmware failed to install in /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia. I copied gsp.bin to /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/465.24.02/gsp.bin and regenerated mkinitcpio and now I don't get a warning.
Question is why did it not install properly in the first place when I updated nvidia? Was it a good idea manually fixing it like this?
Offline
I patched and it did work. However, has it increased, not insignificantly, size of the module? My EFI partition was 256M, with just Linux and Linux-zen kernels. mkinitcpio complained it had run out of space when installing the patched nvidia. I created some more room, and re-made the EFI partition at 500M, and it now occupies 290M, which is a 36M increase.

Yeah, that's what happens when you add a 40M binary blob to the initramfs. It wasn't the module that increased in size.
Offline
Yes the patch worked. I realised later that copying the gsp.bin file manually was a bad idea as the file would not be owned by the package.
@Roken It does look like an increase.
Thanks to loqs for the patch.
Edit: @Scimmia I did an asp checkout. It's fine now. I was just snooping for the bin file.

OK, I guess I must have been sailing pretty close to the wind, anyway, then. Never mind, all good, and with modern storage and extra 250M will hardly be noticed.

A fixed package is now in testing. Need some testers. Report back in this thread or on the bug.

Tested using Nvidia 670 linux 5.11.15 nvidia-utils 465.24.02-2.
Forcing the firmware to be loaded using nvidia.NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=1 with the firmware missing:

Without forcing the firmware use, no mention of it in dmesg:

At a guess my card is too old to make use of the firmware.
Edit:
From kernel/nvidia/nv-reg.h:
/*
* Option: EnableGpuFirmware
*
* Description:
*
* When this option is enabled, the NVIDIA driver will enable use of GPU
* firmware.
*
* Possible mode values:
* 0 - Do not enable GPU firmware
* 1 - Enable GPU firmware
* 2 - (Default) Use the default enablement policy for GPU firmware
*
* Setting this to anything other than 2 will alter driver firmware-
* enablement policies, possibly disabling GPU firmware where it would
* have otherwise been enabled by default.
*
* If this key is set globally to the system, the driver may still attempt
* to apply some policies to maintain uniform firmware modes across all
* GPUS. This may result in the driver failing initialization on some GPUs
* to maintain such a policy.
*
* If this key is set using NVreg_RegistryDwordsPerDevice, then the driver
* will attempt to honor whatever configuration is specified without applying
* additional policies. This may also result in failed GPU initialzations if
* the configuration is not possible (for example if the firmware is missing
* from the filesystem, or the GPU is not capable).
*
* Policy bits:
*
* POLICY_ALLOW_FALLBACK:
* As the normal behavior is to fail GPU initialization if this registry
* entry is set in such a way that results in an invalid configuration, if
* instead the user would like the driver to automatically try to fallback
* to initializing the failing GPU with firmware disabled, then this bit can
* be set (ex: 0x11 means try to enable GPU firmware but fall back if needed).
* Note that this can result in a mixed mode configuration (ex: GPU0 has
* firmware enabled, but GPU1 does not).
*
