Cannot build DKMS modules for sunxi-next #1369

mkudlacek · 2019-05-14T10:45:34Z

I have OrangePi R1 running Debian Stretch:

Linux orangepi 4.19.38-sunxi #5.86 SMP Sun May 12 17:56:25 CEST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

I installed headers of the same version:

ii  linux-headers-next-sunxi            5.86                           armhf        Linux kernel headers for 4.19.38-sunxi on armhf
ii  linux-image-next-sunxi              5.86                           armhf        Linux kernel, version 4.19.38-sunxi

When I try building a module via DKMS, it ends up with an error:

root@orangepi:~# dpkg-reconfigure wireguard-dkms

------------------------------
Deleting module version: 0.0.20190406
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.
Loading new wireguard-0.0.20190406 DKMS files...
Building for 4.19.38-sunxi

Consult /var/lib/dkms/wireguard/0.0.20190406/build/make.log for more information.

The mentioned log file contains:

DKMS make.log for wireguard-0.0.20190406 for kernel 4.19.38-sunxi (armv7l)
Tue May 14 10:36:54 UTC 2019
make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.38-sunxi'
Makefile:619: arch//Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'arch//Makefile'.  Stop.
make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.38-sunxi'

It looks like the $SRCARCH is empty (line 619 of the mentioned Makefile):

# The arch Makefile can set ARCH_{CPP,A,C}FLAGS to override the default
# values of the respective KBUILD_* variables
ARCH_CPPFLAGS :=
ARCH_AFLAGS :=
ARCH_CFLAGS :=
include arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile

I tried to force the architecture by following suggestions on this page: diederikdehaas/rtl8812AU#103

Namely:

ARCH=arm dpkg-reconfigure wireguard-dkms

Or adding the symlink:

root@orangepi:/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.38-sunxi/arch# ls -l
total 124
drwxr-xr-x   9 root root  4096 May 13 12:42 alpha
drwxr-xr-x  13 root root  4096 May 13 12:42 arc
drwxr-xr-x 100 root root  4096 May 13 12:42 arm
drwxr-xr-x  11 root root  4096 May 13 12:42 arm64
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     3 May  8 18:46 armv7l -> arm

Or even changing the line 619 in the /usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.38-sunxi/Makefile to:

include arch/arm/Makefile

But none of it worked. I tried different DKMS module (virtualbox-dkms), but obviously, the problem is in the linux-headers-next-sunxi package.

What can I do to make it work?

Thanks,
Martin

Wireguard is part of all Armbian kernels. (Probably) that's why you can't build. Just run:

modprobe wireguard

mkudlacek · 2019-05-14T12:51:12Z

Hi @igorpecovnik,
thanks for the reply. It fixed my problem - I am able to run the wireguard now:) However, I don't think the problem is related to the wireguard module already being part of the kernel. The same error happens when I try to build the virtualbox dkms module:

root@orangepi:/# dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms

Content of the mentioned log:

DKMS make.log for virtualbox-5.2.24 for kernel 4.19.38-sunxi (armv7l)

But the module is not available:

root@orangepi:/# modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.38-sunxi

igorpecovnik · 2019-05-14T13:17:32Z

Nice, and how did you solve it?

mkudlacek · 2019-05-14T13:28:02Z

The wireguard by modprobing the module:

modprobe wireguard

The virtualbox I did not. I don't actually need it, I just wanted to demonstrate, that it is probably some other issue than the one with wireguard.

igorpecovnik · 2019-05-14T16:27:32Z

Aha, ok ... IIRC DKMS was broken upstream for some time and since its impossible to fix everything it will remain as is until someone would desperately need this function :) Since DMKS is apparently broken I'll leave this open.

devinrsmith · 2019-05-23T16:53:32Z

Ditto on ROCKPro64, getting similar error trying to install wireguard-dkms:

DKMS make.log for wireguard-0.0.20190406 for kernel 4.4.178-rockchip64 (aarch64)
Thu May 23 16:46:08 UTC 2019

(Although, I do see that modprobe wireguard works, so that's good :) )

Same on an Odroid HC1 with armbian stretch. "modprobe wireguard" returns no errors but I am left without all the wireguard commands (wg-quick, wg, wg-show, etc.)

If you care to add and maintain (usually nothing) the build of wg packages https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/packages/extras-buildpkgs

Or those tools already exists in some repository?

zhangn1985 · 2019-08-13T01:08:25Z

Hi, @igorpecovnik please due to I rebase sunxi-next to upstream LTS, please set WIREGUARD=yes to enable wireguard for sunxi-next release, if wireguard is required feature.

Its tested on all build and is attached to tested branch. Also #1369

pianoquintet · 2019-08-13T05:16:31Z

Where do I place this setting? Thanks.

Just build image/kernel, now WG is default. For the DKMS way I can't help without deep investigation ...

zhfreal · 2019-09-09T06:27:29Z

Hey,
I fixed this issue by rebuild headers in armbian device.

update:
You need some kernel source headers and rebuild somethings.

$ local_ver=$(uname -r | sed 's/^[0-9]*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*//')
$ sudo cp -ra your_kernel_source_dir/tools/include /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/tools/
$ sudo cp -ra your_kernel_source_dir/security/selinux/include /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/security/selinux/
$ cd /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/
$ sudo make scripts LOCALVERSION="$local_ver"

After this, dkms will be working.

Pull request #1697 is supposed to fix this issue. Please retest as soon as the PR is merged.

Heisath · 2019-12-28T13:51:57Z

I just merged it. Please rebuild and test.

igorpecovnik · 2020-01-07T19:35:27Z

Tested, works as expected.
