Void-packages: virtualbox-ose: update to 6.0.8 fails to build kernel modules.

[yilmzfurkan]

System

Void Linux x86_64 XFCE

• package: virtualbox-ose
  virtualbox-ose 6.0.8
  It both failed on linux4.19 and linux5.0

Expected behavior

Latest virtualbox-ose should be able to build/install kernel modules successfully.

Actual behavior

It fails to build DKMS.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Just fetch the latest updates "sudo xbps-install -Su"

Same with 5.1.x. Error with all three is (aside from the version):

~
Error! Build of vboxnetadp.ko failed for: 4.19.45_1 (x86_64)
~

What's confusing to me is that that module seems to be compiling just fine?

Ah, it looks like 6.0.8 installs to misc/, the old (and I presume expected) path is updates/.

I don't think this is accurate. It definitely seems to be related to dkms though.

@Hoshpak Any ideas?

/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/6.0.8/build/vboxdrv/SUPDrvTracer.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x7: indirect jump found in RETPOLINE build

This is the error I see here in /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/6.0.8/build/make.log.

I think this is lines 1464 ff in /usr/src/virtualbox-ose-6.0.8/vboxdrv/SUPDrvTracer.c and I have no idea what it does or how it could be done differently.

[Hoshpak]

Sorry, I didn't test the dkms modules this time before pushing. Arch already had a patch for the issue. I tested it and will push it.

NP @Hoshpak thanks for finding and pushing that patch :-)
Have a good time!
