Blktrace is a block layer IO tracing mechanism which provides detailed information about request queue operations to user space. It extracts event traces from the kernel (via the relaying through the debug file system).

Modprobed-db is a useful utility for users wishing to build a minimal kernel via a make localmodconfig. In a nutshell, this make target creates a config based on the current config and a list of modules you define (that modprobed-db keeps for you). It then disables any module option that is not needed thus not building extraneous modules. This results in a system-specific, streamlined kernel package and footprint as well as reduced compilation times.

Modprobed-db simply logs every module ever probed on the target system to a text-based database ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/modprobed-db), which can be read directly by make localmodconfig as described above.

This package provides statically-linked e2fsck command taken from the e2fsprogs package. It is meant to be used in initrds.

Linux kernel patches and device-trees used for the MNT Reform systems

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux-based operating system.

Control groups is Linux kernel method for process resource restriction, permission handling and more. This package provides userspace interface to this kernel feature.

iptables is the user-space command line program used to configure the Linux 2.4.x and later IPv4 packet filtering ruleset (firewall), including NAT (Network Address Translation).

This package also includes ip6tables, which is used to configure the IPv6 packet filter.

Both commands are targeted at system administrators.

Headers of the Linux-Libre kernel.

GNU Linux-Libre is a free (as in freedom) variant of the Linux kernel. It has been modified to remove all non-free binary blobs. Configuration options and patches have been applied for use with MNT/Reform systems.

kernel-hardening-checker is a tool for checking the security hardening options of the Linux kernel. Provided preferences are based on suggestions from various sources, including:

• KSPP recommended settings

• CLIP OS kernel configuration

• Last public grsecurity patch (options which they disable)

• SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM patchset

• Direct feedback from the Linux kernel maintainers

This tool supports checking Kconfig options and kernel cmdline parameters.

FBGrab is a framebuffer screenshot program that captures the Linux framebuffer and converts it to a PNG image. It can also convert a framebuffer dump file (copy) to a PNG image.

Libnftnl is a userspace library providing a low-level netlink programming interface to the in-kernel nf_tables subsystem. The library libnftnl has been previously known as libnftables. This library is currently used by nftables.

This package provides the statically-linked btrfs from the btrfs-progs package. It is meant to be used in initrds.

This package contains utilities for accessing the powercap Linux kernel feature through sysfs. It includes an implementation for working with Intel RAPL. It provides the commands powercap-info and powercap-set.

NTFS-3G provides read-write access to NTFS file systems, which are commonly found on Microsoft Windows. It is implemented as a FUSE file system. The package provides additional NTFS tools.

PipeWire is a project that aims to greatly improve handling of audio and video under Linux. It aims to support the usecases currently handled by both PulseAudio and Jack and at the same time provide same level of powerful handling of Video input and output. It also introduces a security model that makes interacting with audio and video devices from containerized applications easy, with supporting Flatpak applications being the primary goal. Alongside Wayland and Flatpak we expect PipeWire to provide a core building block for the future of Linux application development.

cpuid dumps detailed information about the CPU(s) gathered from the CPUID instruction, and also determines the exact model of CPU(s). It supports Intel, AMD, and VIA CPUs, as well as older Transmeta, Cyrix, UMC, NexGen, Rise, and SiS CPUs.

This program allows you read and control device brightness. Devices include backlight and LEDs. It can also preserve current brightness before applying the operation, such as on lid close.

The appropriate permissions must be set on the backlight or LED control interface in sysfs, which can be accomplished with the included udev rules.

GNU Linux-Libre is a free (as in freedom) variant of the Linux kernel. It has been modified to remove all non-free binary blobs.

This package is low-level user-level Intel's communications interface. The PSM2 API is a high-performance vendor-specific protocol that provides a low-level communications interface for the Intel Omni-Path family of high-speed networking devices.

inputattach dispatches input events from several device types and interfaces and translates so that the X server can use them.

This is the Linux driver for the Cray/HPE Cassini 1 and 2 high-speed network interconnect (aka. Slingshot), and its Ethernet driver. It includes the uapi/misc/cxi.h C header file for use by user-land software.

Currently the Linux driver itself is missing from this package.

This simple Linux kernel module allows calls from user space to any ACPI method provided by your computer's firmware, by writing to /proc/acpi/call. You can pass any number of parameters of types ACPI_INTEGER, ACPI_STRING, and ACPI_BUFFER.

It grants direct and undocumented access to your hardware that may cause damage and should be used with caution, especially on untested models.
