stable: Update to 6.12 #329
Conversation
sched-ext has finally been merged in 6.12. There is no longer any reason to use this kernel. For comparisons between cachy's patched EEVDF, consider `linux-cachyos-eevdf`. For stock EEVDF, consider `linux-cachyos-server`. Signed-off-by: Eric Naim <[email protected]>

It should be not required anymore, since it got enabled in upstream. If we want to have latest RT features, from the rt tree, then we can keep it, but it also brings more maintenance work

The commit of removing RT dependency on CONFIG_EXPERT can also be cherrypicked to, e.g cachy.patch

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git/log/?h=linux-6.12.y-rt-rebase This is the latest tree of the rt patchset. Initial thoughts are patch 1-3, 6-9 seem nice to have

From the remaining patches, we don't need the ARM/PowerPC/RISCV specific ones too much since we're not targeting them, but PREEMPT_LAZY and i915 patches are also here. The first one we'll want to have anyway for all kernels, but the second one can be separated into a single patch.

https://github.com/CachyOS/linux/commits/6.12/rt I've cherrypicked some patches from the rt patchset. This seems to meet the standard expectations of being part of our base patchset. The first two commits is also beneficial for normal kernels, and splitting these into different patches makes no sense in my eyes. The other commits are relatively safe to include for non-RT kernels.
@ptr1337 what do you think?

PREEMPT_AUTO was part of the out of tree realtime patchset and isn't included in the mainline kernel. The latest revision of the realtime patchset has also dropped PREEMPT_AUTO (it lacked documentation, I'm not sure what it's really for). Signed-off-by: Eric Naim <[email protected]>
6.12 will be released in approx. 3 days, this is the branch that will prepare our PKGBUILDs for that kernel version, as it seems that 6.12 is quite a big release.
Changes in patchset from 6.11 to 6.12:
Honorable Mentions:
PKGBUILD Changes:
linux-cachyos-sched-ext- sched-ext is upstream now!linux-cachyos-rc/PKGBUILDto the stable kernel PKGBUILDsSome considerations to be made:
linux-cachyos-rt-bore: Use PREEMPT_RT instead of PREEMPT_AUTO- We got no choice, PREEMPT_AUTO isn't a thing anymore
