I upgraded from 4.8 to 4.9-rc2 and noticed that kernel modules fail to load (log below). After investigating for some time I found this thread and apparently this is not still fixed, at least not in Linus' tree. Reverting 784d5699eddc5 fixed the issue for me. As I don't see any fix available (please correct me if I'm wrong) we should just revert that commit until it's properly fixed. Also note that there's a related fix from Steven: [PATCH] x86: Fix export for mcount and __fentry__ https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147733572502413 For compiling the kernel I'm using Ubuntu 12.04: ii binutils 2.22-6ubuntu1.4 GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities ii gcc 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 GNU C compiler The kernel is running on a separate machine with Ubuntu 14.04.
