Some System On a Chip (SOC) have 64bit ARM CPUs that are also
capable of running arm 32bit applications.
Since:
- Parabola doesn't have an aarch64 package repository yet
- The devicetree of devices using such System On a Chip
are not compiled when using the armv7 defconfig
- Drivers or other platform support code for such hardware
might also not be compiled in with the armv7 defconfig
- This approach has already been tested with the linux-libre-x86_64
kenrel
It's then a good idea to add support for such devices by adding
an arrch64 kernel as the maintenance and work is minimal.
The downside is that the external kernel modules that are either
compiled against the kernel or using DKMS will not work by default.
It's however still possible to compile them by hand by using
ARCH= and CROSS_COMPILE= as it is done for this kernel, so it
should be relatively easy to add support for the non-dkms modules.
As for DKMS, someone would need to look into it to understand how
to pass it the make flags (ARCH= and CROSS_COMPILE=) that are
required to automatically build modules.

Sometimes the defconfig and the source code are out of sync, this
can result in issues like this one:
| ==> Starting build()...
| scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
| *
| * Restart config...
| *
| *
| * General architecture-dependent options
| *
| OProfile system profiling (OPROFILE) [M/n/y/?] m
| OProfile multiplexing support (EXPERIMENTAL) (OPROFILE_EVENT_MULTIPLEX) [N/y/?] n
| Kprobes (KPROBES) [Y/n/?] y
| Optimize very unlikely/likely branches (JUMP_LABEL) [Y/n/?] y
| Static key selftest (STATIC_KEYS_SELFTEST) [N/y/?] n
| Stack Protector buffer overflow detection (STACKPROTECTOR) [Y/n/?] (NEW)
This makes sure that in such case, the default choice is used instead of
asking the user about it.

While updating this kenrel to 5.1.3-gnu, the 5.0.2-gnu defconfig
was accidentally commited.
This change fixes it by importing linux-libre's defconfig for
x86_64.

The previous PKGBUILD was build and tested.
However I removed the following files after testing
and forgott to regenrate the sha512sum:
'kernel.its', 'kernel.keyblock', 'kernel_data_key.vbprivk'
I didn't re-test after that since it already took hours to
build it my build machine and that this PKGBUILD is based
on a well tested PKGBUILD.
I didn't bump the package revision in this commit because the
package cound't build before.

With this kernel, on machines with an x86_64 compatible CPU, you
can run an i686 userspace with an x86_64 kernel.
This for instance enables to use the same i686 rootfs on computers
with 32bit and 64bit CPUs, while still being able to take advantage
of a 64bit kernel on the machines that supports it.
The users will then need to force i686 in pacman.conf like that:
[options]
Architecture = i686
They will also need to select the right kernel at boot.
