Title:
Kernel modules generated incorrectly when system is localized to a
non-English language
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When LANG is set to a non-English language with the relevant language
pack installed, Kbuild's recordmcount.pl script fails to function
correctly when building out-of-tree kernel modules on architectures
that do not use the C version of recordmcount (e.g. ppc64le). This can
result in invalid kernel modules being built.
This was due to the non-C version of recordmcount relying on parsing
the output of objdump(1), which can be localized. This is now fixed in
the linux-kbuild tree with the following commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-
kbuild.git/commit/?h=kbuild&id=7b6954a982e7f60af38b835db52a06afc6e4b84c
This commit is not in the torvalds/linux.git tree yet, but it would be
good to backport the change to the Ubuntu kernel, particularly the
linux-headers packages that are used for building out-of-tree kernel
modules.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set LANG to a language other than English (e.g. ja_JP.UTF-8)
2. Make sure that the correct language pack is installed and that
localization is working; for example, run a command expected to print an error
message, like `cp` with no additional arguments.
3. Install the NVIDIA GPU driver
Actual results:
The kernel panics when loading the nvidia-modeset kernel module.
Expected results:
The driver should install and load normally.
