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?
The drivers built fine after rebuilding Linux with [PATCH] locking/refcounts: Do not force refcount_t usage as GPL-only export https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/4/1110
which appears to be in Linus' tree as b562c171cf011d297059bd0265742eb5fab0ad2f
Odd, is 564c9cc84e2a ("locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Use unique .text section for refcount exceptions") causing this?
