grab the latest reiserfs patch
cd /usr/src/ wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/reiser4/files/reiser4-for-linux-5.x/reiser4-for-5.16.patch.gz
grab the latest kernel that matches that version
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.16.20.tar.xz
grab the latest slackware config
wget https://lab.nethence.com/confdiff/config.txt
and simply use that script
./build0.bash linux-5.16.20.tar config.txt reiser4-for-5.16.patch.gz ./buildU.ksh linux-5.16.20.tar reiser4-for-5.16.patch.gz
warning: this guide is old and became a bit bloated - this is why we wrote the short notice here above
dom0
Slackware current always tracks the latest longterm tagged kernel so you could simply use the sources provided from the K set. But let us get things staight with the very latest longterm.
We also eventually apply the latest available REISER4 patch – check it first to see what release it matches against.
domU only
Latest available TMEM kernel was 5.2.21.
Slackware
slackpkg search elfutils slackpkg search bc-1
eventually get rid of older and unused kernels
ls -lF /var/log/packages/kernel-* #removepkg ...
however if you get rid of kernel headers too early you get
kernel "fatal error: linux/errno.h: No such file or directory"
TODO try this once again after you’ve build the new kernel and rebooted
cd /usr/src/ screen -S kernel-build
eventually check what is the latest-available reiser kernel patch
then grab the latest stable kernel source tarball
ver=5.15.41 cd /usr/src/ wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-$ver.tar.xz wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-$ver.tar.sign
and verify
#gunzip linux-5.13.19.tar.gz unxz linux-5.13.19.tar.xz #wget -q -O - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/kernel/pgpkeys.git/plain/keys/79BE3E4300411886.asc | gpg --import - wget -q -O - https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/kernel/pgpkeys.git/plain/keys/38DBBDC86092693E.asc | gpg --import -

This guide has been replaced and implemented as scripts already.
Quick & dirty for a minimal working XEN environemnt
wget https://pub.nethence.com/bin/xen/build0.bash wget https://pub.nethence.com/bin/xen/buildU.bash chmod +x build0.bash buildU.bash
Full-blown kernel with many things incl. Docker and REISER4 support
wget https://pub.nethence.com/bin/xen/buildom0.ksh wget https://pub.nethence.com/bin/xen/buildomU.ksh chmod +x buildom0.ksh buildomU.ksh
You are now ready to build the kernel with those scripts
nice ./build0.bash linux-5.15.28.tar.xz # 14m24.761s on bravo # 7m2.971s on pmr2 echo $MAKEFLAGS export MAKEFLAGS nice ./buildom0.ksh linux-5.13.19.tar reiser4-for-5.13.patch.gz # 26m on pro5s2 # 1h18m on xc nice ./buildomU.ksh linux-5.13.19.tar reiser4-for-5.13.patch.gz # 5m46.200s on pro5s1
as XEM_TMEM module keeps being a module, we need to deliver it to the guests to use TMEM
guest=GUEST cd /data/guests/$guest/ fsck.ext4 $guest.ext4 mkdir lala/ mount -o loop,rw $guest.ext4 lala/ mkdir -p lala/lib/modules/ ls -alkF lala/lib/modules/ rm -rf lala/lib/modules/* #for ball in `ls -1 /data/kernels/lib.modules.*.tar.gz`; do # echo -n $ball... # tar xzf $ball -C lala/lib/modules/ && echo done #done; unset ball tar xzf /data/kernels/lib.modules.$version.tar.gz -C lala/lib/modules/ ls -alkF lala/lib/modules/ cat lala/etc/modules echo tmem >> lala/etc/modules umount lala/ rmdir lala/ xl create $guest -c
and verify that everything works as expected onto a new guest, including TMEM and Docker,
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep TMEM zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CLEANCACHE lsmod | grep tmem watch free -m zcat /proc/config.gz | grep OVERLAY docker ps -a
You’re now good to handle booting with your boot-loader of choice
also make sure those are in place
ls -lF /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build ls -lF /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source
