Hello,
I ran into a problem with Virtualbox 5.1.26 and Linux kernels 4.4.76 and 4.4.79
on x86_64 when trying to build the kernel module:
/tmp/vbox.0/r0drv/linux/memobj-r0drv-linux.c:1117:33: error: too many arguments
to function ‘get_user_pages’
papVMAs); /* vmas */
^
In file included from /tmp/vbox.0/r0drv/linux/the-linux-kernel.h:98:0,
from /tmp/vbox.0/r0drv/linux/memobj-r0drv-linux.c:31:
/usr/src/linux-4.4.76-1/include/linux/mm.h:1264:6: note: declared here
long get_user_pages(unsigned long start, unsigned long nr_pages,
^
/usr/src/linux-4.4.76-1/scripts/Makefile.build:259: recipe for target
'/tmp/vbox.0/r0drv/linux/memobj-r0drv-linux.o' failed
Looking at the signature of get_user_pages() and the provided parameters, it
looks to me like get_user_pages() is the wrong function to call here, at least
on the 4.4 kernel series. The function signature and provided parameters match
get_user_pages_remote() instead, replacing the call then made the kernel module
compile successfully and afterwards start without issues:

- rc = get_user_pages(pTask, /* Task for fault
accounting. */
+ rc = get_user_pages_remote(pTask, /* Task for
fault accounting. */
pTask->mm, /* Whose pages. */
R3Ptr, /* Where from. */
cPages, /* How many pages. */
Perhaps this needs to be #ifdef'ed further based on kernel versions.
