hello, doing my first git bisect on the kernel and need some help.
i found an issue that started with kernel 6.8.1 but was not present in 6.7.9.
after building linux-git from the aur, these are the versions from git tag that I think I should choose from. which one would correspond to 6.7.9 and 6.8.1? Would 6.8-rc1 = 6.8.1 and so on? thanks for the help
v6.7
v6.7-rc1
v6.7-rc2
v6.7-rc3
v6.7-rc4
v6.7-rc5
v6.7-rc6
v6.7-rc7
v6.7-rc8
v6.8
v6.8-rc1
v6.8-rc2
v6.8-rc3
v6.8-rc4
v6.8-rc5
v6.8-rc6
v6.8-rc7
v6.9-rc1
oh and any tips for speeding up the compile times? i have 8 cores going now and takes about 50 mins to finish.

First test 6.8. saves you at least 1 compile.

You're looking for 'make localmodconfig'. Apply it according to here
Why I run Arch? To "BTW I run Arch" the guy one grade younger.
And to let my siblings and cousins laugh at Arsch Linux...

Did the bisection of kernel a couple months ago and wrote a note with all useful info about it.
Main points:
1. You should use AUR package linux-mainline
2. To speed up build time you should use:
mold
ccache
modprobed-db

You should bisect kernel between 6.7 and 6.8-rc1 I think

Have you tried linux-6.8.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst to see if the issue was introduced between 6.7 and 6.8 or 6.8 and 6.8.1? You could also try linux-mainline 6.9-rc1 prebuilt from miffe to see if the issue has already been fixed.
