Problem with kernel 6.15.3-1-siduction-amd64

[Teriarch]

@Pip

Let's give it a try. I installed the deb file,inserted the "ccflags-y =..." at line 85 of Kbuild
and the compilation terminates with error

nvidia/nv.c:3848:5: error: implicit declaration of function 'del_timer_sync' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
3848 |     del_timer_sync(&nvl->rc_timer.kernel_timer);

Now cd to /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-tesla-470/470.256.02/build (you can always recompile after changes by:

$ sudo env NV_VERBOSE=1 make -j4 modules KERNEL_UNAME=6.15.3-1-siduction-amd64)

Do a

$ grep -r del_timer_sync *

identify the c files containing expression "del_timer_sync" and replace all such occurrences
by "timer_delete_sync". Recompile the sources by the above command and see, where this is getting us!

To be continued...

PS.: Ignore the warnings, they are not part of the problem.

her is a ready to use patch, i'm not at home so i can't build nvidia-470 with that patch included at the moment.

Hey towo, thanks for telling what's going on. Although I have patched things I avoid it as I need too much help with it. It's not my cup of tea.

I can wait, even for a longer period if neccessary. To get a new siduction Kernel runing with my nvidia card is not important in a timely manner (but I like it ;-) ). The only thing I really would like to avoid is being completely cut off from new kernel development.

Thanks.

[michaa7]

sorry, doppelposting

[Pip]

I think I got most of it sorted out, rather clumsily. A major part of what was wrong was del_timer_sync needing to be timer_delete_sync in the new kernel headers. But it still won't install because

ERROR: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__vma_start_write' which I haven't got around - I can give it a value that will get it through, but then it won't be something to share.
Whether what comes out at the end actually works is another matter.

And I see that everyone else has already zipped through it. Sorry I took so long to get back about it.

del_timer_sync has been changed in the new kernel to timer_delete_sync. If you grep for it in the module code and swap it over, you'll at least get rid of that error. But if you don't have an nvidia card, do you have any nvidia packages installed that you could get rid of? Or just take the module out of /usr/src?

I cannot find a single nvidia package on my laptop

I don't know which modules I would have to remove and how to start the build process afterwards.

Maybe the pitfalls will be fixed in the next kernel. Then at least I'll know that I can delete the "/usr/src/linux-headers-6.15.3-1-siduction-amd64" folder . Until then, I'll try to carefully read the instructions mentioned.

[Pip]

With my limited understanding, I can't see anything you should remove from /usr/src - I have /usr/src/nvidia-tesla-470-470.256.02, which was why I thought it might be relevant. I've no idea why you'd be building the nvidia module if you've nothing that indicates you need it.

  include/linux/timer.h:extern int try_to_del_timer_sync(struct timer_list *timer);
  Module.symvers:0x00000000 try_to_del_timer_sync vmlinux EXPORT_SYMBOL


Then I changed the two "del_timer_sync" to "timer_delete_sync", and tried to build it.

# env NV_VERBOSE=1 make -j4 modules KERNEL_UNAME=6.15.3-1-siduction-amd64
  make: *** No rule to make target 'modules'.  Stop.


I have no idea so far how to correct the build call.

I changed the two "del_timer_sync" to "timer_delete_sync" from tp_smapi-0.44/hdaps.c as well,
and have now tried the build process through:

Now it fails as the kernel was build by gcc-14 and dpkg is using the gcc,- otherwise both versions are the same.
Could someone please point me in the right direction to overcome this hurdle?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't make things clear, sorry about that: it was only in the nvidia module where things should change, from what I was doing. Whether it would be needed in  tp_smapi-0.44 as well, I couldn't tell you since I don't know the module. timer_delete_sync is how it's meant to be in the kernel, there was nothing in the kernel to change. There was try_to_del_timer_sync, but that should have stayed as was.
Definitely revert the kernel headers to the way they were.

To indicate just how much you should pay attention to what I say, I have now managed to get the nvidia module to build with very few warnings and install. After which, I can't start the system in gui mode with the new kernel. Back at the older kernel now.

@pip: Thank you for your explanations.

Only because the installation of kernel 6.15.3-1-siduction-amd64 failed during full-upgrade,
because the linux-headers-6.15.3-1-siduction-amd64 could not be compiled, I dared to make some changes.

I see that it was not successfull.

At this stage I would just undo the changes from tp_smapi-0.44/hdaps.c,
delete the folder "linux-headers-6.15.3-1-siduction-amd64" from /usr/src/
and hope that the next 6.15 kernel will install as usual.

The first kernel 6.15.3-1 wasn't even installed when it arrived on my laptop.

I hope my strategy pays off.

To make it clear, there will nothing changed with the next siduction kernel!
The fix has to be in tp_smapi!

I built a beta version

nvidia-tesla-470-kernel-dkms_470.256.02-7.siduction.1b_amd64.deb

compatible with all the other packages from the maintainer. Simply do a

$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-tesla-470-driver

and when the original package nvidia-tesla-470-kernel-dkms fails, simply replace it by

$ sudo dpkg -i  nvidia-tesla-470-kernel-dkms_470.256.02-7.siduction.1b_amd64.deb
