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 is a file system client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: on the server side there's nothing to do; on the client side mounting the file system is as easy as logging into the server with an SSH client.

This package provides a way to access the System Management Unit for certain AMD Ryzen processors. This includes access to the System Management Network.

This package provides a way to record and replay device descriptions and events, making it possible to emulate input devices through the Linux kernel's input system. Emulated devices are for most practical purposes indistinguishable from real devices.

It provides a command line program and also a Python library.

This package provides a C port of NoteBook FanControl (NBFC), a fan control service for notebooks. It provides the same utilities with the same interfaces as the original NBFC, although the implementation differs.

Python-evdev provides bindings to the generic input event interface in Linux. The evdev interface serves the purpose of passing events generated in the kernel directly to userspace through character devices that are typically located in /dev/input/.

This package also comes with bindings to uinput, the userspace input subsystem. uinput allows userspace programs to create and handle input devices that can inject events directly into the input subsystem.

strace is a system call tracer, i.e. a debugging tool which prints out a trace of all the system calls made by a another process/program.

This package performs runtime integrity checking of the Linux kernel and detection of security vulnerability exploits against the kernel.

WirePlumber is a modular session / policy manager for PipeWire and a GObject-based high-level library that wraps PipeWire's API, providing convenience for writing the daemon's modules as well as external tools for managing PipeWire.

Powerstat measures and reports your computer's power consumption in real time. On mobile PCs, it uses ACPI battery information to measure the power drain of the entire system.

Powerstat can also report RAPL power domain measurements. These are available only on some hardware such as Intel Sandybridge and newer, and cover only part of the machine's components such as CPU, DRAM, and graphics. However, they provide accurate and immediate readings and don't require a battery at all.

The output is like vmstat but also shows power consumption statistics: at the end of a run, powerstat will calculate the average, standard deviation, and minimum and maximum values. It can show a nice histogram too.

F2FS, the Flash-Friendly File System, is a modern file system designed to be fast and durable on flash devices such as solid-state disks and SD cards. This package provides the userland utilities.

The i2c-tools package contains a heterogeneous set of I2C tools for Linux: a bus probing tool, a chip dumper, register-level SMBus access helpers, EEPROM decoding scripts, EEPROM programming tools, and a python module for SMBus access.

OpenFabrics Interfaces (OFI) is a framework focused on exporting fabric communication services to applications. OFI is best described as a collection of libraries and applications used to export fabric services. The key components of OFI are: application interfaces, provider libraries, kernel services, daemons, and test applications.

Libfabric is a core component of OFI. It is the library that defines and exports the user-space API of OFI, and is typically the only software that applications deal with directly. It works in conjunction with provider libraries, which are often integrated directly into libfabric.

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.

libnetfilter_log is a userspace library providing interface to packets that have been logged by the kernel packet filter. It is is part of a system that deprecates the old syslog/dmesg based packet logging. This library has been previously known as libnfnetlink_log.

This package provides a library called libpfm4, which is used to develop monitoring tools exploiting the performance monitoring events such as those provided by the Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) of modern processors.

Libpfm4 helps convert from an event name, expressed as a string, to the event encoding that is either the raw event as documented by the hardware vendor or the OS-specific encoding. In the latter case, the library is able to prepare the OS-specific data structures needed by the kernel to setup the event.

libpfm4 provides support for the perf_events interface, which was introduced in Linux 2.6.31.

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.

mdadm is a tool for managing Linux Software RAID arrays. It can create, assemble, report on, and monitor arrays. It can also move spares between raid arrays when needed.

This package provides the documentation for the kernel Linux-Libre, as an Info manual. To consult it, run info linux.

This is a collection of tests written over uverbs intended for use as a performance micro-benchmark. The tests may be used for hardware or software tuning as well as for functional testing.

The collection contains a set of bandwidth and latency benchmark such as:

1. Send - ib_send_bw and ib_send_lat

2. RDMA Read - ib_read_bw and ib_read_lat

3. RDMA Write - ib_write_bw and ib_wriet_lat

4. RDMA Atomic - ib_atomic_bw and ib_atomic_lat

5. Native Ethernet (when working with MOFED2) - raw_ethernet_bw, raw_ethernet_lat

This package provides commands to create and check XFS file systems.
