Compile Mako Kernel with Linaro Toolchain - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am new with custom ROM and Android kernel things.
I successfully boot my phone with my kernel compiled from source with Google toolchain. And someone suggested to me to use Linaro toolchain.
Then I went through this page https://android-build.linaro.org/ to get some idea, seems none on Mako.
Any suggestion?
I am using arm-linux-androideabi-4.6 tool chain now for kernel compiling.

[Q] How to compile kernels?

Hey Everyone
Just looking for help to compile kernels for this phone. For my previous u8150 I followed Alan Orth's guide here:
http://mjanja.co.ke/2011/06/compiling-custom-kernels-on-the-huawei-u8150/
as well as using and modifying his kernel source mostly to tweak governers and schedulers.
I am getting compile errors which prevent the source from building. I have used the config.gz from DZO's oxygen and have tried to build both franco Kernel and 2.6.35 from huawei both with no joy.
Anyone want to post a step by step to help me and others get into kernel building more?
Thanks

[Q] Need linux kernel source 2.6.29.REVO by microslav_mm

I strongly need the linux kernel 2.6.29.REVO used by CM7 SwiftDroid SDSL v2.0. Can anyone tell me where I can down the source?
What I am currently doing is to hack the wireless module of my GT540 phones. So I need the linux kernel source to recompile the module: /system/lib/modules/wireless.ko. I have tried the kernel source from two github repositories.
* One is the swift kernel 2.6.29 authored by Quarx2k
* The other is by wingrime
But when I inserted the compiled wireless.ko, the CM7 SwiftDroid SDSL system throws out the version magic error.
# dmesg
wireless: version magic '2.6.29 preempt mod_unload ARMv6 should be '2.6.29.REVO preempt mo-unload ARMvt'
So I may need the exact linux version 2.6.29.REVO authored by microslav_mm.
Where can I download it? microslav_mm's github only provides 2.6.35 kernel right now.
Any suggestions are extremely appreciated. Already trapped by this kernel compilation issue for a whole week.

there you go
Thanks for this message.
But this webpage seems to contains only the already-built linux kernel and android image.
What I need is the source code of linux kernel 2.6.29.REVO. Any place to download?
Regards

I dont know....
I think I saw it once on github :OO
Sign. But I strongly need this kernel source linux kernel source 2.6.29.REVO for wifi driver hacking.

[Q] Kernel Panic s3cfb on SMDK4412

I am porting OmniROM to UrBetter s702 devices (Hyundai T7s/T7) using the Mixtile Garage board (mixtile.com) as a reference design. The CPU is Exynos4412.
The Mixtile Garage board comes with Linux kernel 3.0.15 and I am trying to update to 3.0.64 using the smdk4412 kernel source tree from Omni.
After creating the necessary mach-mixtile4x12.c file on arch/arm/mach-exynos (using mach-smdk4x12.c as a reference and adapting it, it compiles but on boot is panicking on s3cfb_clk_on: http://paste.omnirom.org/view/0d0fd2ec
The modified kernel tree is here: https://github.com/Frontier314/kernel_smdk4x12
The kernel source is compiled with GCC arm-eabi-4.7; gcc-arm-eabi-4.4.3 has the same problem so it should be something in the source tree.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Many thanks in advance.

[Q][LINARO-kernel] Kernel compiled with 4.8.x ++++ won't never boot.

Hello guys,
My kernel ( KTmanta) is compiled by myselif suing a a15 optimized toolchain. Boots, working nice, however, any build with 4.8, 4.9, will stay at loading screen forever.
Any one can help me out , or might know the source of the problem?? I used once adb bugreport but haven't found interessting stuff(or at least I think)
Thank you.
Suggestion: have you tried building the kernel with another (prebuilt) toolchain, that includes GCC 4.8, 4.9? Maybe you missed something?
Search in forum "JustArchi's ArchiDroid Optimizations" (sorry, I cannot post links).
In that thread there are some patches for fix not booting kernel with gcc 4.8.

bootloop on kernel build from source

I am new in kernel developing and i started learning development by compiling kernel from source for samsung j3 pro (2016). I downloaded its kernel source (J320F / LL swa INS ) from samsung opensource site And gcc toolchain arm-eabi 4.8.
I followed available guide on net step by step for compiling and i its successfully compiled without an error and my zimage is created but when i flashed this kernel i got bootloops.
ANY SUGGESTIONS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED
i getting error on making modules too. I searching fix each error.
I enabled module in menconfig but failed to make
I have also compiled kernel available on github for j320fn with variant-defconfig for j320f but same result.
Any one have knowledge about this please instruct me
