Lucas De Marchi 0efaaa5355 ci: Add Archlinux
Add an action to setup Archlinux and use it for the initial setup.
The rest of the workflow can stay the same.

Currently the Arch container in docker hub is not very up-to-date with
some expired keys and other keys not yet in the package. Workaround
that by wiping the current db and reinstalling the keyring. As requested
by Emil, add a comment in this part of the github-action about why
that is done.

OVERVIEW

kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases.

These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with kmod. See libkmod/README for more details on this library and how to use it. The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes from module-init-tools project.

Compilation and installation

In order to compile the source code you need the following software packages: - GCC/CLANG compiler - GNU C library / musl / uClibc

Optional dependencies: - ZLIB library - LZMA library - ZSTD library - OPENSSL library (signature handling in modinfo)

Typical configuration: ./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib

Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages.

To compile and install run: make && make install

Hacking

Run 'autogen.sh' script before configure. If you want to accept the recommended flags, you just need to run autogen.sh c.

Make sure to read the CODING-STYLE file and the other READMEs: libkmod/README and testsuite/README.

Compatibility with module-init-tools

kmod replaced module-init-tools, which was EOL'ed in 2011. All the tools were rewritten on top of libkmod and they can be used as drop in replacements. Along the years there were a few behavior changes and new features implemented, following feedback from Linux kernel community and distros.
