Bug 388103 – openvz-sources-2.6.32.39.3 compilation error

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2011-10-22 12:37:17 UTC]

The current openvz-sources contain a kernel typo which causes compilation to fail under certain circumstances:

  AS      arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.o
/tmp/cc135JoV.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc135JoV.s: Error: .size expression for do_hypervisor_callback does not evaluate to a constant
make[3]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel] Error 2
make[1]: *** [arch/x86] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-openvz-039.3'

This can be fixed by a small change to source/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S as mentioned here:
