There were several duplicate bugs here, closed as 'UPSTREAM BUGS' But I found a solution: Replace in linux sources, in realmode.h: return ALIGN(real_mode_blob_end - real_mode_blob, PAGE_SIZE); with return __ALIGN_KERNEL(real_mode_blob_end - real_mode_blob, PAGE_SIZE); It's the devfinition of ALIGN taken from <linux/kernel.h> Maybe it should be in form of patch for gentoo-sources.

linux 4.9.0 patch for virtualbox-modules
This one worked for me
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 602420 *** |
virtualbox-modules doesn't compile with kernel 4.9. I get the following error: In file included from ./arch/x86/include/asm/acpi.h:33:0, from ./arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h:19, from ./arch/x86/include/asm/apic.h:11, from ./arch/x86/include/asm/smp.h:12, from ./include/linux/smp.h:59, from ./include/linux/topology.h:33, from ./include/linux/gfp.h:8, from ./include/linux/slab.h:14, from /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-5.1.10/work/vboxdrv/linux/../SUPDrvInternal.h:80, from /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-5.1.10/work/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:32: ./arch/x86/include/asm/realmode.h: In function ‘real_mode_size_needed’: ./arch/x86/include/asm/realmode.h:67:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘ALIGN’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] return ALIGN(real_mode_blob_end - real_mode_blob, PAGE_SIZE); Looking at the git tree of the kernel, almost nothing changed in /arch/x86/include/asm/realmode.h. Can somebody explains this problem ?
