Linux-gc to prowadzona przez Alfreda Chena linia linuksowego kernela. Zawiera w sobie szereg patchy, jak np. BFQ, BFS czy patch graysky'ego rozszerzający możliwości dostosowania kompilatora do architektury procesora. Co ważne, niektóre z nich - jak np. BFS - Alfred rozwija sam, niezależnie od Cona. Niektóre z jego pomysłów później lądują w wersji BFS rozpowszechnianej przez Cona.
Obecnie - z uwagi na nawał pracy Cona i tymczasowe zaprzestanie rozwijania przez niego BFS - linux-gc jest niemal jedynym rozwiązaniem umożliwiającym skompilowanie kernela linii 4.1 z patchem BFS.
Poniżej przedstawiam opis instalacji tego kernela (obecna wersja jest jeszcze odpowiednikiem 4.1.2, chociaż mamy już 4.1.3; znając Alfreda niebawem pojawi się w jego repozytorium wersja uwzględniająca patch 4.1.3, wówczas powiadomię).
Rozpoczynamy od ściągnięcia jakiegoś kernela, który dostarczy nam fajne configi np. linux-bfq. Uwaga: config musi być dla kernela 4.1. Paczkę pobieramy stąd:
https://aur4.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/linux-bfq.tar.gz i rozpakowujemy:
tar -zxfv linux-bfq.tar.gz
bądź korzystamy z programu packer (w moim przykładzie packer-color):
packer-color -G linux-bfq
Przechodzimy do katalogu ze źródłami:
cd linux-bfq
Usuwamy niemal wszystko z wyjątkiem plików config i config.x86_64.
Do katalogu kopiujemy poniższy kod PKGBUILDa i tak go też nazywamy:

# Compile ONLY probed modules
# As of mainline 2.6.32, running with this option will only build the modules
# that you currently have probed in your system VASTLY reducing the number of
# modules built and the build time to do it.
#
# WARNING - ALL modules must be probed BEFORE you begin making the pkg!
#
# To keep track of which modules are needed for your specific system/hardware,
# give module_db script a try: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/modprobed-db
# This PKGBUILD will call it directly to probe all the modules you have logged!
#

# Use the current kernel's .config file
# Enabling this option will use the .config of the RUNNING kernel rather than
# the ARCH defaults. Useful when the package gets updated and you already went
# through the trouble of customizing your config options. NOT recommended when
# a new kernel is released, but again, convenient for package bumps.

Przed kompilacją, PKGBUILD możemy dostosować, przy czym pamiętajmy, że jeśli chcemy wykonać kompilację w oparciu o config działającego kernela, to tym kernelem musi być kernel tej samej linii, co kompilowany (tu 4.1).
Miłej zabawy.
PS: Proszę sobie zachować PKGBUILD, bowiem przy nowych wersjach kerneli nie będę dawał całego PKGBUILDa, ale prawdopodobnie wyłącznie polecenia sed, które zmienią PKGBUILD dostosowując go do aktualnej wersji).
PS2: Oczywiście PKGBUILD oraz *.install i *.preset są bezczelnie zerżnięte od Lucka
PS3: Poniżej na potwierdzenie wkompilowania BFS w kernel linii 4.1.
