The upstream lttng-modules project is compatible and buildable on all >3.0 kernels. The new lttng-modules 2.12.2 code should continue to function fine on the 5.4 kernel.
I confirmed that the this latest package builds and loads without any errors or warnings on the 5.4 kernel. Therefore, it is more accurate to say there is a small potential for regression on the 5.4 kernel - and that would likely indicate an upstream bug in lttng-modules itself. ** Description changed: Impact: lttng-modules-dkms fail to build on Focal with the linux-hwe-5.8 kernel. Fix: Use version 2.12.2 instead of 2.11.2. That would bring it in line with the version used in groovy. Testcase: Attempt to build the currently-available 2.11.2 - observe that it fails. Create a new package using the groovy source package, confirm that it builds and installs successfully. Furthermore, I was able to successfully manually modprobe all the .ko files that were built. - Regression potential: Technically this doesn't work on the 5.8 hwe - kernel in focal right now, so it cannot be any more broken than it - currently is. The 2.12.2 version is identical to the one currently used - in groovy. + Regression potential: Technically this doesn't work on the 5.8 hwe kernel in focal right now, so it cannot be any more broken than it currently is.
