Description dario.rubiano 2021-05-16 19:38:10 UTC
Having the gentoo-sources kernel and trying to load the vmwgfx module gives "Unknown symbol" errors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Have a gentoo guest running on VirtualBox with a VMSVGA graphics card and 3D acceleration enabled.
emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources, configure kernel by enabling DRM and VMware's DRM:
Device Drivers ->
  Graphics support ->
    <*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 ...)
    <M> DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU
    [*] Enable framebuffer console under vmwgfx by default
make all, make install, make modules_install and reboot.
Run modprobe vmwgfx.
Actual Results:  
kernel: vmwgfx: Unknown symbol clean_record_shared_mapping_range (err -2)
kernel: vmwgfx: Unknown symbol wp_shared_mapping_range (err -2)

Expected Results:  
No errors.

These errors don't happen by getting the kernel from kernel.org.

emerge --info gives the following output:

Is this enabled in your .config ?

CONFIG_MAPPING_DIRTY_HELPERS

Can you attach it, please?

Comment 3 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2021-05-29 23:22:48 UTC
Interesting, your .config worked for me outside VirtualBox and with gcc 11.1.0

Comment 4 Mike Pagano gentoo-dev 2021-08-26 15:58:18 UTC
I don't think there's much else I can do here, you way want to work with upstream if this is still an issue
