Latest patch did not compile

[Quix0r]

I use latest patch (grsecurity-2.1.9-2.6.18.1-200610281533.patch) with vanilla 2.6.18.1 kernel and I get these error messages:

kernel/module.c:1142: error: structure has no member named `module_core'
kernel/module.c:1142: error: structure has no member named `core_size'

The fix is simple: Your patch removed the declaration in module.h so it failes here.

Just in case...

Edit:

Add this code in somewhere around line 295 (include/linux/module.h)

Code: Select all

void *module_core;
unsigned long init_size, core_size;

This may fix it again.

kernel/module.c:1142: error: structure has no member named `module_core'
kernel/module.c:1142: error: structure has no member named `core_size'

thanks for the report, the proper fix is in the latest PaX test patch.

The fix is simple: Your patch removed the declaration in module.h so it failes here.

the fields are not removed, rather they're split up into two fields (to separate executable/non-executable module segments, necessary for KERNEXEC/modul support) and i didn't see that Ingo's lockdep changes in .18 also touched this code, should be good now.

Ah, okay.

I will download and test this patch this evening...

The fix from the PaX team has been included in the latest 2.6.18.2 patch on the website.
