You should file a bug report with Red Hat.
The correct fix in the kernel is in arch/x86/mm/init.c
-EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__cachemode2pte_tbl);
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(__cachemode2pte_tbl);
Well, that's the rub - RHEL7 have never had that upstream fix - i.e. the
el7.4 kernel (3.10.0-693.el7) has
'EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(__cachemode2pte_tbl)' as does the el7.5b kernel
(3.10.0-830.el7) ...
The Nvidia driver builds/installs OK on el7.4 - but not on el7.5b
I'll report this to Red Hat anyway ...
Thanks

Ah, I'd not checked the sources, you are correct. I do not have an
explanation for the differing behaviour between 7.4 and 7.5beta.
It looks like both __cachemode2pte_tbl and __pte2cachemode_tbl need
updating in arch/x86/mm/init.c
If you file a bug, please could you mail the link so I can add myself to
the CC. Thanks.
