Hi, I am writing to ask would anyone please help how to build kvm kernel modules with kvm-kmod? I would not like to build the entire kernel including kvm modules. Is the kvm-kmod still supported for 4.0+ kernel? I used to work with kvm-kmod for kernel version prior to 3.19. This time, when I tried to build kvm modules on ubuntu 16.04 (4.4.0-45-generic) with kvm-kmod, I got the following error: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- make -C /lib/modules/4.4.0-45-generic/build M=`pwd` \ LINUXINCLUDE="-I`pwd`/include -I`pwd`/include/uapi -Iinclude \ -Iinclude/uapi -Iarch/x86/include -Iarch/x86/include/uapi \ -Iinclude/generated/uapi -Iarch/x86/include/generated \ -Iarch/x86/include/generated/uapi \ -I`pwd`/include-compat -I`pwd`/x86 \ -include include/generated/autoconf.h \ -include `pwd`/x86/external-module-compat.h" \ "$@" make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-45-generic' CC [M] /home/zhang/test/kvm-kmod/x86/kvm_main.o In file included from <command-line>:0:0: /home/zhang/test/kvm-kmod/x86/external-module-compat.h:1033:22: fatal error: asm/i387.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. scripts/Makefile.build:258: recipe for target '/home/zhang/test/kvm-kmod/x86/kvm_main.o' failed make[3]: *** [/home/zhang/test/kvm-kmod/x86/kvm_main.o] Error 1 scripts/Makefile.build:403: recipe for target '/home/zhang/test/kvm-kmod/x86' failed make[2]: *** [/home/zhang/test/kvm-kmod/x86] Error 2 Makefile:1403: recipe for target '_module_/home/zhang/test/kvm-kmod' failed make[1]: *** [_module_/home/zhang/test/kvm-kmod] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-45-generic' Makefile:21: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is how I build kvm modules with kvm-kmod (I would like to build kvm modules for 4.4.0-45-generic on ubuntu 16.04): About linux source side: # git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git mainline-linux # cd mainline-linux # git checkout -b v4.4_local v4.4 About kvm-kmod side (I am using the default build directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-45-generic/build): # git clone https://github.com/bonzini/kvm-kmod # cd kvm-kmod # git checkout 66355d13e50d1d7896538842f3501740ad2d5e79 # ./configure # make sync LINUX=../mainline-linux ./sync -v v4.4 -l ../mainline-linux # make Would you please let me know if I am following the README correctly? Thank you very much! Dongli Zhang
