Public bug reported: Due to my Skylake-based hardware I'm trying to run the latest mainline kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS/xenial (Linux Mint Variant) installation. I'm using the Ukuu kernel upgrade utility for that purpose.
Beginning with 4.12 acpi-call-dkms (1.1.0-2) fails to build. Here the relevant excerpt of make.log DKMS make.log for acpi-call-1.1.0 for kernel 4.12.3-041203-generic (x86_64) ... /var/lib/dkms/acpi-call/1.1.0/build/acpi_call.c: In function ‘acpi_proc_write’: /var/lib/dkms/acpi-call/1.1.0/build/acpi_call.c:277:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘copy_from_user’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] if (copy_from_user( input, buff, len )) { ^ I'm unsure if this is out of scope for Ubuntu but wanted to raise awareness somewhere. ** Affects: acpi-call (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 xenial ** Attachment added: "Full make.log output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705678/+attachment/4918749/+files/make.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705678 Title: acpi-call-dkms: module fails to build beginning with mainline kernel 4.12.x To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-call/+bug/1705678/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
