ps5-linux-patches

Compilation

git clone https://github.com/ps5-linux/ps5-linux-patches
git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
cd linux
git checkout tags/v7.0.5
git apply ../ps5-linux-patches/linux.patch
cp ../ps5-linux-patches/.config .config
make -j$(nproc)

Installation

In the same linux folder after compilation, do:

sudo make modules_install
sudo make install

If you use Arch Linux, then additionally do:

sudo mkinitcpio -k "$(make kernelrelease)" -g /boot/initrd.img-$(make kernelrelease) || true

If you are updating Linux on your external USB SSD or if you are directly booting into M.2 SSD, i.e. if you use -m2 in cmdline.txt, then you have to update the files on the FAT32 partition of your USB drive:

sudo cp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/efi/bzImage
sudo cp /boot/initrd.img /boot/efi/initrd.img

If you are updating Linux on your M.2 SSD, but you do not directly boot into it, i.e. if you use m2_exec.sh, then you do need to do this step.
