Linux kernel builds, based on mostly-vanilla upstream Linux kernels. See [../docs/kernel-patches.md] for how the local patches in patches-* are maintained.

The build is mostly silent. A local build can be run via make. To view the output use docker log -f <containerid>. The build creates multiple containers, so multiple invocations may be necessary. To view the full build output one may also invoke docker build . and then copy the build artefacts from the image afterwards.

To build with various debug options enabled, build the kernel with make DEBUG=1. The options enabled are listed in kernel_config.debug. This allocates a significant amount of memory on boot and you may need to adjust the kernel config on some systems. Specifically:
