patch for kernel 4.10.0-rc2
While 4.10.0-rc1 still contained the dummy declaration
static inline int register_cpu_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb)
{
return 0;
}
this was removed in 4.10.0-rc2 .
*** Bug 606252 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm that virtualbox-modules-5.1.16 build just fine with kernel 4.11.0-rc2 without any patching of the kernel. |
Created attachment 457422 [details, diff] patch for kernel 4.10 Kernel 4.10 has struct taint_flag { char true; /* character printed when tainted */ char false; /* character printed when not tainted */ bool module; /* also show as a per-module taint flag */ }; which won't compile if any macro defining 'true' or 'false' is in effect. Furthermore, get_user_pages_remote has got an additional parameter int *locked. My patch doesn't initialize this parameter which might be wrong
