This change introduces a new x86_64 kernel, kernel-mos, for the purpose of offering a kernel which has newer drivers available then those offered in 5.15 LTS. These newer drivers include newer AMDGPU drivers. This change does not provide an ARM64 kernel.
Kernel-mos pulls from a different source than the generic kernel RPM. The kernel-mos RPM uses the rolling-lts/mariner-2-mos/5.15.y.w tag which contains the additional feature branch for amdgpu drivers.
The kernel-mos.spec also introduces the following subpackages:
kernel-mos-devel: includes the source needed to build kernel-level software
kernel-mos-drivers-accessibility: contains drivers under accessibility
kernel-mos-drivers-gpu: contains drivers under gpu (including amdgpu)
kernel-mos-drivers-sound: contains drivers under sound
kernel-mos-docs: contains the kernel docs
kernel-mos-tools: common linux tools such as cpufreq
kernel-mos-python3-perf: contains the python perf tools
kernel-mos-bpftool: contains bpftool used to inspect btf data
Kernel-mos-signed.spec is also being introduced to allow for signing of the kernel to enable secureboot.
