Bug 92881 – patch for building uml kernel with module support

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andre Kloth 2005-05-17 02:43:08 UTC]

When I tried to build an uml kernel with loadable module support I got an error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Compile the uml kernel with loadable module support:

cd /usr/src/uml
make menuconfig ARCH=um
make ARCH=um
--> error
Actual Results:  
  CC      arch/um/kernel/ksyms.o
arch/um/kernel/ksyms.c:90: error: redefinition of `__kstrtab_os_ioctl_generic'
arch/um/kernel/ksyms.c:76: error: `__kstrtab_os_ioctl_generic' previously
defined here
arch/um/kernel/ksyms.c:90: error: redefinition of `__ksymtab_os_ioctl_generic'
arch/um/kernel/ksyms.c:76: error: `__ksymtab_os_ioctl_generic' previously
defined here
make[1]: *** [arch/um/kernel/ksyms.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/um/kernel] Error 2

Expected Results:  
I avoided this error by commenting out the EXPORT_SYMBOLs in ksyms.c. This works
for me.

which kernel version? 

[Comment 3 Andre Kloth 2005-05-17 04:56:27 UTC]

Sorry for the confusion. I just realized, that I used the old 2.6.8.1-r8
usermode sources.

I will try the most recent version.
