I have always used root to compile/install when upgrading the kernel without a

steps to reproduce:
wget -c https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.8.4.tar.xz
tar -xf linux-4.8.4.tar.xz
cd linux-4.8.4
make mrproper
cp /boot/config-4.8.1 .config
make oldconfig
make
What could be the problem ?.
any help is welcome.
Curious problem. I did the same steps as you and had no problem. One
minor difference was that my config was slightly older (4.7.2), but I
wouldn't think that would make any difference.
I assume you are using the latest gcc:
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 6.2.0
Also, did you do 'rm -rf linux-4.8.4' before you extracted the source?
The make mrproper *should* fix that it you didn't, but if there are
remnants owned by root, then it could cause a problem.
Also, arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_64.h line 313 for me is:
#define __NR_getcpu 309
Since that appears to be a generated file, it looks like it wasn't
generated properly.
