Hi all, nvidia-drivers could not be build on my system with kernel sources (gentoo-sources) up from 3.11.x - tested 3.11.4 and 3.11.2 kernel with nvidia-sources 325.15 and 331.13). It seems that "num_physpages" got renamed into get_num_physpages" and "num_physpages" is not longer available in kernels >= 3.11. --- snip --- /data/Kernel/linux-git/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h: In function ‘copy_from_user’: /data/Kernel/linux-git/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:62:28: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare] if (likely(sz == -1 || sz >= n)) ^ include/linux/compiler.h:152:40: note: in definition of macro ‘likely’ # define likely(x) __builtin_expect(!!(x), 1) ^ In file included from /tmp/selfgz7454/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.13/kernel/os-interface.c:15:0: /tmp/selfgz7454/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.13/kernel/os-interface.c: In function ‘os_get_system_memory_size’: /tmp/selfgz7454/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-331.13/kernel/nv-linux.h:961:41: error: ‘num_physpages’ undeclared (first use in this function) #define NV_NUM_PHYSPAGES num_physpages --- snap --- I've done following patching for current nvidia-drivers-331.13: --- snip --- --- kernel.orig/nv-linux.h 2013-09-30 05:47:18.000000000 +0200 +++ kernel/nv-linux.h 2013-10-14 10:27:14.520070619 +0200 @@ -956,7 +956,11 @@ #endif #if !defined(NV_VMWARE) -#define NV_NUM_PHYSPAGES num_physpages +#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 11, 0) +#define NV_NUM_PHYSPAGES get_num_physpages +#else +#define NV_NUM_PHYSPAGES num_physpages +#endif #define NV_GET_CURRENT_PROCESS() current->tgid #define NV_IN_ATOMIC() in_atomic() #define NV_LOCAL_BH_DISABLE() local_bh_disable() --- snap --- Pls check back on other platforms and if it is notorious pls integrate the patch into the ebuild(s). hth cheerioh, Niels Dettenbach.
