Problem building an out of tree modules for kernel version 5.8.0

[Michael McCann <kb2ghz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to build out of tree modules for kernel version 5.8.0 for a X86 host. Below are the results when I attempt to compile the modules.  

test@test-GA-78LMT-USB3-6-0:~/X86module$ ./BuildDriver
make: Entering directory '/home/test/LinuxKernel/linux-git'
  CC [M]  /home/test/X86module/thread.o

This is the source code for the module being compiled:

/* out-of-tree kthreads module */

#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/kthread.h>
#include <linux/delay.h>

#define LOGLEVEL KERN_INFO

static struct task_struct *mythread;

static int work(void *dummy);

static int __init kthread_init(void) {
int r;
printk(LOGLEVEL "kthread module start\n");
mythread = kthread_create(work, NULL, "mykthread");
if (mythread > 0) { printk(LOGLEVEL "kthread created\n");
                   r = wake_up_process(mythread);
                     if (r) { printk(LOGLEVEL "kthread started\n");
                              printk(LOGLEVEL "kthread pid = %0#10x  %d\n", mythread->pid, mythread->pid);
            }
                   else printk(LOGLEVEL "kthread already running??\n");
                 }

else printk(LOGLEVEL "kthread_create failed\n");
return(0);
}

static int work(void *dummy) {
int i = 1;
while (1) {
ssleep(1);
printk(LOGLEVEL "mykthread i = %d\n",i);
i++;
if (kthread_should_stop()) {
printk(LOGLEVEL "my kthread is stopping...\n");
do_exit(0);
}
}
}

static void __exit kthread_exit(void) {
int r;
r = kthread_stop(mythread);
printk(KERN_INFO "kthread module exit\n");
}

module_init(kthread_init);
module_exit(kthread_exit);
