Im so sorry if this is in the wrong place but im a developer working on my first kernel and my question is only going to get some help by the most elite ROM dev's out there.
Ok so i got the BFS patch for the kernel im currently working on which is 2.6.32.9. Of course the patch is meant for a mainline kernel and not an Android kernel so i went through the patch file and applied the patch by hand, it was a pretty smooth process the diffs in the bfs patch were all the same code just wouldn't apply because all the line numbers were off. My first attempt bombed so i must have made some mistakes it was my first time patching by hand! Anyways took another crack and recompiled the kernel after every file patched so i could basically debug compiling problems well it all went smooth.
Heres the problem though, kernel compiles fine with out bfs checked, with it checked it compile a hell of alot of the kernel, but it eventually fails and it make no seance after my investigation of things. Here is my error
Code:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `mmc_wait_for_req':
lowmemorykiller.c:(.text+0xd2b3c): undefined reference to `wait_for_completion_io'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
I found the decleration for wait_for_completion_io in kernel/sched.c the only thing i changed in sched.c was to at line 1 and it was basically to include sched_bfs.c, if the scheduler was seleted in the config, heres the patch stuff for sched, all i did was add the three lines to check if bfs was set in the config and then added the #endif at the bottom
Code:

At the end of sched.c it starts exporting the functions and wait!!!! the first function it exports looks like this!
Code:

}

So maybe sched isnt exporting any functions anymore after the inclusion of sched_bfs.c into it? i dont know all i know it i didnt touch lowmemmory.c and im sooo close to getting BFS but this is boggling me!! Maybe there is a conflict in kernel options im not aware of? I turned off all c groups and the default scheduler.
I wont paste my .config here nothing annoys me more than that, heres a link to a gist of it on github (just like pastbin for thos not in the know lol) bfs enabled .config and here is my sched.c and my lowmemmorykiller.c! Any help would be awesome there are so many people patching bfs into there androif kernel so im hoping this is a common type of problem
EDIT if i remove the mmc drivers it finishes the compile, but i kind of need these have to sleep now ill experiment more, if neone has any ideas about what the heck is goin on id love to know
did you ever fix this? i ran into the same error. a quick google search got me this and it seems to be working. ill post later if it actually works.
edit: succesfully built tdm's gingerkernel with -ck patchset with this. working on bobzhome's kernel now
Sorry this is way late man!! I have been doing alot of hardware hacking as of late, my android stuff especially kernel modding has been pushed to the the side.
Anyways how did BFS turn out any speed improvements? Maybe ill see if I can patch it into cm9 if theres and good reason for that
I am getting this same error after adding bfs to my kernel.. the link you gave is 404. Any one who worked with bfs that can provide some insight, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
Just trying to compile the latest AOSP for a PVT32B HTC Magic. I have pulled all the source, ran the envsetup.sh script, used lunch and selected Sapphire, and used make. However I seem to keep getting these odd errors about LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS.
If I add the requested LOCAl_MODULE_TAGS line with optional to the module it complains about it moves on, but does the exact same thing to the next module. It would be a pain to have to go through each and every one. Anyone have an idea on why its complaining about this on every module?
Heres the log:

Android source error
I have the same problem. I want to compile the recovery binary. it compiles fine but when I put it in the ramdisk and repack the recovery image it won't show anything in the recovery mode. my phone HTC G1 goes on with black screen not even showing the recovery menu.
My repack script is fine because I checked it with the same binary again and it was fine.
Please help I have a deadline to meet and I am exhausted searching for answers.
Thanks
I don't get to say this very often but... moved to Development.
Why does target arch is armv5te if we have armv6tej ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe because CPU in our phones lack hardware VFP
It looks like you cloned master, I think in general you want to use the release branch if you want the most recent code base for a release
Example:
Code:
repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b froyo
Will get you the froyo code base
----
As for the error:
master is mostly gingerbread now, and besides gingerbread no longer having AOSP support for dream/sapphire: Requires all projects to be tagged with LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS
Not all of the packages used by the dream/sapphire build have been updated or marked grandfathered as dream/sapphire are not being supported.
Hi All,
I am currently trying to compile kernel module for a local echo driver in ICS. I got success while trying the same in GB but doing so in ICS the echo driver is not get compiled to KO object
I got below errors while compiling

I know that the problem is in Android.mk of the echo driver source, So please guide me on making make file in ICS
Looking forward for your guidlines....

Hi all,
Today I've decided to build CM11 for my DIFRNCE DIT1010 tablet.
I'm trying to get started by building CWM first, since I'm new at this, and also because I figured I'll need that to flash CM in the end.
I know there's the clockworkmod builder website, I've tried that, but it apparently gave me a CWM for loganrelte aka Galaxy Ace 3.
And I also thought I wouldn't learn much by using that website. (sorry, I don't mean to slack off that great tool)
So I've been following the guide on xda-university, ran into some problems which I've been able to fix so far, but now I need help.
Running make -j4 recoveryimage starts off with: (I've translated this from Dutch)
Code:
/home/harm/bin/out/target/product/DIT1010/obj/APPS/SignatureTest_intermediates
find: ‘src’: no such file or directory
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES device/generic/goldfish/data/etc/apns-conf.xml:system/etc/apns-conf.xml ignored.
No private recovery resources for TARGET_DEVICE DIT1010

... and ends with:
Code:

make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs...
So I followed the link it gave me there, which tells me to "Follow the CM Build Guides for your device with the change explained below."
I've searched, but there are no build guides for my device.
Can anyone help me fixing my problem?
Thanks in advance.
Okay, so I've downloaded my kernel from http://crewrktablets.arctablet.com/?wpfb_dl=1473,
extracted it, and I've put the kernel.img in /home/harm/bin/device/DIFRNCE/DIT1010.
Now I get a different output:
Code:
build/core/tasks/kernel.mk:91: **********************************************************
build/core/tasks/kernel.mk:92: * Kernel source found, but no configuration was defined *
build/core/tasks/kernel.mk:93: * Please add the TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG variable to your *
build/core/tasks/kernel.mk:94: * BoardConfig.mk file *
build/core/tasks/kernel.mk:95: **********************************************************
What's the TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG variable? I believe it's a path to somewhere, but I don't know where to point it to?
I am trying to build some kernel modules for a Tronsmart MK808ii but Tronsmart have not provided the config (No proc/config.gz) after some messing about I have managed to get some kernel modules to load (I have the Init and Exit pointers in the right place). My first aim is to allow the device to read usb cdroms and iso files for which I need to load isofs.ko cdrom.ko and sr_mod.ko
Actually things go pretty well except there appears to be a misalignment between struct gendisk in the module and kernel. when the genhd driver dereferences gendisk->part0 i get an oops. Looking at the code the only definable length object before part0 seems to be disk_name
In order to be more precise about what's happening and to determine the relative alignment of structures between my kernel and the supplied one I need to be able to disassemble the original kernel which I've extracted from the eeprom - ony problem is that neither file nor objdump know what to do with this image, so I'm presupposing it has some sort of header on it so the bootloader can find the image. The Image starts with KRNL$
Does anyone have an idea of how vmlinux image can be extracted from this rom image?
int major; /* major number of driver */
int first_minor;
int minors; /* maximum number of minors, =1 for
* disks that can't be partitioned. */

I'm attempting to implement faux123's intelli_plug into my kernel. It was added in this commit and enabled in "make menuconfig". However, it throws me errors during compilation:
Code:
arch/arm/hotplug/intelli_plug.c:166: error: undefined reference to 'avg_nr_running'
arch/arm/hotplug/intelli_plug.c:227: error: undefined reference to 'avg_cpu_nr_running'
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
I have reached out prior to this post, but that has gotten me nowhere.
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem. Did you fix it?
take a look at the commit here:
https://github.com/faux123/android_kernel_oppo_n1/commit/64f86a98a0b70c42dc9d0a875164543b890012f4
i found the solution here and compile worked well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55894825#post55894825
br,
nosedive
That's how you implement Intelliplug 4.0 properly.
https://github.com/olokos/OK-Kernel-Z1-LP/commit/bdda0d6b2edf66734f9a7b2b72797896028fbf16
Please do mention me when you use my commit as it took me a few hours to track down every single intelliplug change (it's spread between three different devices) and then merge it into a single working commit.
Op if it works please release it.
Hello I have the sam eproblem with implementaion of Intelli_plug to Samsung Exynos platform:
the same errors with avg_nr_running - Ive added codes to the core.c but in shed.h I have not the same codes as You have means no for ex. :
Code:
static inline void inc_nr_running(struct rq *rq) - I HAVE NO this function..
{
#ifdef CONFIG_INTELLI_PLUG
struct nr_stats_s *nr_stats = &per_cpu(runqueue_stats, rq->cpu);
#endif
sched_update_nr_prod(cpu_of(rq), rq->nr_running, true);
#ifdef CONFIG_INTELLI_PLUG
write_seqcount_begin(&nr_stats->ave_seqcnt);
nr_stats->ave_nr_running = do_avg_nr_running(rq);
nr_stats->nr_last_stamp = rq->clock_task;
#endif
rq->nr_running++;
#ifdef CONFIG_INTELLI_PLUG
write_seqcount_end(&nr_stats->ave_seqcnt);
#endif
and alwyas I have compilling error .
I put my shed.h file
View attachment sched.h
Thx for any help
