Building and installing the kernel

Preparing mainline kernel source:

make prepare

Configuring the kernel:

make config

Build the kernel:

make build

Install the kernel:

make install

Creating the kernel patch

git config --global user.name '<your name>'
git config --global user.email '<your email>'
make patch

The patch will be located in patches/0001-provbf.patch

Building kernel with CamFlow patch + saBPF patch

You should first install CamFlow.

To perform benchmarks we want to build a kernel with both this bpf and camflow patches for comparison. This is how to prepare, build and configure such setting:

git config --global user.name '<your name>'
git config --global user.email '<your email>'
make prepare_camflow
make config_camflow
make build
make install

During make config_nochange pick the appropriate options to test the desired configuration.
