From 349f0be07381252ef4b58bdfaba697861aeed459 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Ashfield Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2022 18:50:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] vboxguestdrivers: fix build against 5.19 kernel / libc-headers We've bounced back and forth with the mixed libc/kernel module structure of these drivers. In particular the location and content of stdarg.h has caused compile problems, or can't be located. In particular kernel versions have issues with stdarg.h and compatibility with the sysroot and libc-headers/uapi. If we include the file directly from the kernel source (STAGING_KERNEL_DIR) we get conflicting types on many structures, due to kernel .h files being found before libc .h files. if we grab just this one file from the source, and put it into our file structure, everything holds together. Plus, we get to drop a patch we are carrying to change the include of stdarg.h Signed-off-by: Bruce Ashfield Signed-off-by: Khem Raj --- ...ld-against-5.15-libc-headers-headers.patch | 62 ------------------- .../vboxguestdrivers_6.1.36.bb | 9 ++- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 63 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 meta-oe/recipes-support/vboxguestdrivers/vboxguestdrivers/0001-utils-fix-build-against-5.15-libc-headers-headers.patch diff --git a/meta-oe/recipes-support/vboxguestdrivers/vboxguestdrivers/0001-utils-fix-build-against-5.15-libc-headers-headers.patch b/meta-oe/recipes-support/vboxguestdrivers/vboxguestdrivers/0001-utils-fix-build-against-5.15-libc-headers-headers.patch deleted file mode 100644 index 203eec6eec..0000000000 --- a/meta-oe/recipes-support/vboxguestdrivers/vboxguestdrivers/0001-utils-fix-build-against-5.15-libc-headers-headers.patch +++ /dev/null @@ -1,62 +0,0 @@ -From 7213a5bfa3bd9f360d6be01e6dbd59d91095a0fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 -From: Bruce Ashfield -Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2021 14:53:46 -0400 -Subject: [PATCH] utils: fix build against 5.15 libc-headers headers - -In kernel v5.15+ stdarg.h is part of the kernel source, and the -upstream project has a change to prefer that stdarg.h to the -c-library variant and hence includes it as , which -leads to the following build error: - - | In file included from ../vboxsf/include/iprt/types.h:34, - | from ../vboxsf/include/iprt/string.h:33, - | from mount.vboxsf.c:53: - | ../vboxsf/include/iprt/stdarg.h:49:13: fatal error: linux/stdarg.h: No such file or directory - | 49 | # include - | | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -If we modify our build of the vboxdrivers to have the kernel source -directory on the include path (to find linux/stdarg.h, that leads -to the following errors: - - In file included from build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/vboxguestdrivers/6.1.28-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/include/stdlib.h:394, - | from mount.vboxsf.c:36: - | build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/vboxguestdrivers/6.1.28-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/include/sys/types.h:192:20: note: previous declaration of 'blkcnt_t' with type 'blkcnt_t' {aka 'long int'} - | 192 | typedef __blkcnt_t blkcnt_t; /* Type to count number of disk blocks. */ - | | ^~~~~~~~ - | In file included from build/tmp/work-shared/qemux86-64/kernel-source/include/linux/time.h:5, - | from poky/build/tmp/work-shared/qemux86-64/kernel-source/include/linux/stat.h:19, - | from build/tmp/work/qemux86_64-poky-linux/vboxguestdrivers/6.1.28-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/include/bits/statx.h:31, - -Our libc-headers are safe and don't lead to the potential conflicing -information that the upstream commit is guarding against.
