-----------------------------------------

Found this info at http://gentoo.2317880.n4.nabble.com/quot-PATCH-quot-Linus-breaks-virtualbox-modules-td258391.html :
MAX_PRIO actually moved to linux/sched/rt.h, which linux/init_task.h #includes.

So I only needed to add <linux/init_task.h> into
/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.6/work/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/thread2-r0drv-linux.c

In my upper comment was an error.

So I only needed to add #include <linux/init_task.h> into
/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.6/work/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/thread2-r0drv-linux.c

This should be fixed with app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.8

[Comment 3 jospezial 2013-03-01 01:30:52 UTC]

No it is'nt. Sorry.

Okay, I got virtualbox-modules-4.2.8 compiled against kernel-3.8.2:

# modinfo vboxdrv
filename:       /lib/modules/3.8.2/misc/vboxdrv.ko
version:        4.2.8 (0x001a0004)
license:        GPL
description:    Oracle VM VirtualBox Support Driver
author:         Oracle Corporation
srcversion:     92D1EDE37D8C11FA176F217
depends:
vermagic:       3.8.2 SMP preempt mod_unload
parm:           force_async_tsc:force the asynchronous TSC mode (int)

So I'd say something is wrong with your kernel config. Looking at the error message you pasted I suppose it has something to do with realtime stuff. I have the following _RT_ options activated:

# zgrep _RT_ /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES=y

Maybe that helps.

[Comment 6 jospezial 2013-03-12 00:34:29 UTC]

When I reported the bug my kernel was a git snapshot of linux-3.8.0.
I think it must have had some parts of the linux-3.9-rc.

Have the same settings:
CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_RT_MUTEXES=y

Today I compiled the virtualbox-modules-4.2.8 succesfully against vanilla-sources-3.8.2.
But for linux-3.9-rc2 I have to include one of the header files.

on 28. Feb. there was a "Linux 3.9.0 rc0 compile fix" changeset in
https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/44867/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/linux/the-linux-kernel.h

Sadly this is not in virtualbox-modules-4.2.8.

btw,
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460454
is the same

[Comment 7 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2013-03-19 08:23:46 UTC]

Should be fixed with app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.10

[Comment 8 jospezial 2013-03-19 23:49:18 UTC]

yes it is fixed with app-emulation/virtualbox-4.2.10
Thanks.
