However, its primary purpose is to backport some kernel changes recently made by Michael in IPFire 3.x, whenever bringing these to the IPFire 2.x userbase is sensible and/or feasible. Patch descriptions are copy & past'ed from their IPFire 3.x counterparts, which are referred to by their commit IDs in ipfire-3.x. Due to different hardware situation as well as architecture maturity (this particularly affects ARM), not all changes could be backported 1:1 or to a near-complete extend. Feedback is particularly appreciated regarding the last commit, which aims at aligning the ARM kernel configuration files to the x86_64 one. Since no real ARM hardware is at the author's disposal, this alignment has to be taken with a pinch of salt. As far as benchmarks are concerned, a 5.15.85 x86_64 kernel booted in an IPFire 2.x VM on the basis of Core Update 172 introduced the following changes in file size: Location Before After ------------------------------------------- /boot 48M 53M (+ 5) /lib/modules 58M 71M (+13) ISO 373M 394M (+21) Contrary to its documentation, enabling the GCC stackleak plugin (which is the current setting in IPFire 3.x as well) neither brought a notable compile time increase, nor does it seem to slow down runtime operations significantly. More thorough tests, especially on physical machines, are however, yet to come.
