Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
lttng-modules does not compile from source in Questing with kernel 6.17:
src/../include/ringbuffer/frontend_api.h: In function ‘lib_ring_buffer_reserve’:
/usr/src/linux-headers-6.17.0-3-generic/include/linux/percpu-defs.h:220:45:
error: initialization from pointer to non-enclosed address space
220 | const void __percpu *__vpp_verify = (typeof((ptr) + 0))NULL;
\
| ^
/usr/src/linux-headers-6.17.0-3-generic/include/linux/percpu-defs.h:238:9:
note: in expansion of macro ‘__verify_pcpu_ptr’
238 | __verify_pcpu_ptr(ptr);
\
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
src/../include/ringbuffer/frontend_api.h:155:23: note: in expansion of macro
‘per_cpu_ptr’
155 | buf = per_cpu_ptr(chan->backend.buf,
ctx->priv.reserve_cpu);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
[ Fix ]
Patch the code to properly support Linux 6.17 by applying the following commits
from upstream:
- f86e2417 fix: percpu: repurpose __percpu tag as a named address space
qualifier (v6.15)
- 49403039 fix: mm: remove the for_reclaim field from struct writeback_control
(v6.17)
[ Test Plan ]
Build the dkms correctly on Questing:
$ sudo apt install -y lttng-modules-dkms
$ dkms status
lttng-modules/2.14.0, 6.17.0-3-generic, x86_64: installed
