I saw no problems on 8 of 9 machines, but the last one had a problem because it used NVIDIA drivers (387); DKMS reported:
FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module nvidia-drm.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'ex_handler_refcount' //usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.0-11-common/scripts/Makefile.modpost:92: recipe for target '__modpost' failed make[3]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
Is this a new issue? Does 4.14.4 have this issue?
I believe it is a new issue, because I have a 4.14.4 build and an NVIDIA DKMS log for that 4.14.4 showing build success.
Odd, is 564c9cc84e2a ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Use unique .text section for refcount exceptions") causing this?
That was my guess too, but I did not verify.
That feels really wrong here, I'd like to get some confirmation before I add this patch...
It's needed.
The reason you hit in 4.14.5 queue is because of:
[PATCH 4.14 64/75] locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Enable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT
From foo@baz Wed Dec 6 18:04:41 CET 2017 From: Kees Cook keescook@chromium.org Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2017 13:09:46 -0700 Subject: locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Enable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT
that does this:
- select ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT if BROKEN + select ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT
So it exposes previously hidden code....
