compiling kernel module
hi i have a rooted lenovo vibe x2. i want to compile a kernel module for it. i did a 'make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=... M=subdir' and got my module.ko when i insmod, i get: exec format error and dmesg: version magic '3.10.35 mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8 ' should be '3.10.35 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' i tried playing with configuration, and got to '3.10.35 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8 ' however i can not loose the p2v8 this seems to come from: CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT,if i comment out the CONFIG_ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT, it reenables it when i compile. looking further i found: Symbol: ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT [=y] Type : boolean Prompt: Patch physical to virtual translations at runtime Defined at arch/arm/Kconfig:219 Depends on: !XIP_KERNEL [=n] && MMU [=y] && (!ARCH_REALVIEW [=n] || !SPARSEMEM [=n]) Selected by: ARCH_MXC [=n] || ARCH_PICOXCELL [=n] || ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM [=y] && && MMU i can not disable MMU, as it changes to armv5 disabling ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM means i need to select a processor type any of the 'ARM Ltd.' either doesn't compile or is ignored and i do not know what the '' is i tried downloading source from lenovo. they have instructions to compile with: ./mk x2ap n k however i cannot find 'mk' anywhere, not in their tar, not in android sdk nor ndk etc. and can't find any specific config file. compiling with their source gives the same magic '3.10.35 mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8 ' as the vanilla does any idea anyone ? ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

AFAIK It depends on phone/tablet manufacturer, since the build system is not GPL. Generally, you can try to setup it by yourself: 1. Take one of the available builds for other MTK chipset based phones [1]. 2. Download source code which was provided by Lenovo [2]. 3. Built new kernel with platform config from Lenovo's package [3] [1] https://github.com/suribi/Thunder-Kernel [2] http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/phones/vibe-series/vibe-x2/downloads/DS101342 [3] bsp/mediatek/config/mt6595/autoconfig/kconfig/platform >> >> >> -- >> Leon Romanovsky | Independent Linux Consultant >> www.leon.nu | l...@leon.nu > > -- Leon Romanovsky | Independent Linux Consultant www.leon.nu | l...@leon.nu ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
