 Posted: Sat Jan 15, 2022 4:33 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] vmware-modules-16.2.1 fails under kernel 5.16.0 |
 |
|
Here is emerge --info '=app-emulation/vmware-modules-16.2.1::stefantalpalaru'.
Here is the build log.
| Code: | $ emerge -pqv '=app-emulation/vmware-modules-16.2.1::stefantalpalaru
[ebuild N ] app-emulation/vmware-modules-16.2.1 USE="-dist-kernel" |
Any debugging hints will be gratefully received.
[SOLVED] Thanks to gruftie who pointed out that editing the ebuild to MY_KERNEL_VERSION="5.16" works. I did this in a local repo. Thanks also to Jaglover who found an error in my CFLAGS. [/SOLVED]

What is the output of
| Code: |
ls -ld /usr/src/linux
ls /usr/src/linux/include/linux/stddef.h

It seems that nocona is the wrong parameter value.
| Code: | $ grep -m1 -A3 "vendor_id" /proc/cpuinfo
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 23
model : 8
model name : AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16-Core Processor |
Does the Gentoo Wiki suggest CFLAGS="-march=znver2 -O2 -pipe" in /etc/portage/make.conf? |

Are these the correct lines for the patch?
| Code: | $ cat /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules-16.2.1/kernel-5.16-stddef-patch
--- a/vmmon-only/include/vm_basic_defs.h
+++ b/vmmon-only/include/vm_basic_defs.h
@@ -51,7 +51,7 @@
* C90 7.17, C99 7.19, C11 7.19
*/
#if !defined(VMKERNEL)
-# include <stddef.h>
+# include <linux/stddef.h>
#else |
If so, I would expect the emerge would output lines showing the patch was applied, but it didn't. Also the first error:
| Code: | fatal error: stddef.h: No such file or directory
54 | # include <stddef.h> |
I changed the CFLAGS as suggested below before I emerged and I get this warning:
| Code: | warning: the compiler differs from the one used to build the kernel
The kernel was built by: gcc (Gentoo 11.2.1_p20211127 p0) 11.2.1 20211127
You are using: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (Gentoo 11.2.1_p20211127 p0) 11.2.1 20211127 |
Is this a problem? |

You should post complete build.log.

This cause only a problem when you load module, you should have module and kernel compiled with same gcc version if not module doesn't work, but not in the compilation phase.

the problem is in the ebuild itself:
| Code: | | MY_KERNEL_VERSION="5.15" |
so the wrong 5.15 patchset is selected instead of the 5.16 one.
the problem with stddef.h was already solved here
and by changing the ebuild to MY_KERNEL_VERSION="5.16" solves this for me. |
