Arch Linux User Repository

TL;DR for those running linux 5.11 - you need to install the pahole package if this package won't build. (see comments below for more details)

I've updated this package to use the frankcrawford (most developed fork) upstream and am removing the it87-frankcrawford-dkms-git package.

If you find another repo on GitHub that is more up to date, please comment.

Thank you for helping, modinfo and uname -a doesn't match, first returns 5.9.8-2-MANJARO SMP preempt mod_unload modversions, second returns 5.9.11-3-MANJARO. The Linux kernel and headers installed do match (5.9.11-3). I have a v4l2loopback DKMS module working well.

@stardust95 I can't reproduce this, and upstream has not changed. It doesn't seem like this is a problem with this package. Is it possible that your kernel and kernel headers are out of sync? Is it possible you did a partial update of your system? Do you have other DKMS modules, and are these working? Does the text in modinfo it87 | grep vermagic match uname -a?

Since last updates, the module can't be loaded anymore. dmesg outputs this: "it87: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout" and modprobe outputs this "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'it87': Exec format error"

@aravance done, thanks for the patch and for spotting the problems! I'll have to go through my other DKMS packages and check to see if they need the same changes

@aravance sorry, this somehow slid through the cracks. I'll make the changes.

@codebling Yeah, sorry. I copied the wrong diff. I've edited the previous comment to the correct diff. I'm not entirely sure why some packages have no clean, I'm guessing they may be packages that are overriding an existing module? This one is doing that, so it's possible it is not strictly necessary in this case too.

@aravance looks like a a diff against a different package? But I see what you mean. /extramodules/kernel/drivers/hwmon should perhaps become /kernel/drivers/hwmon? With regards to the CLEAN directive, where would I see files that are not being cleaned? I see that many DKMS packages have no CLEAN directive at all, does this mean they are ignoring that step completely?

I found one more bug, I was using a different git repo, so I missed it with the first revision.

According to https://linux.die.net/man/8/dkms

DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[#]=

This directive specifies the destination where a module should be installed to, once compiled. It also is used for finding original_modules. This is a required directive, except as noted below. This directive must start with the text "/kernel" which is in reference to /lib/modules/<kernelversion>/kernel.
...

This git diff will address that:

EDIT: use the right package

@aravance nice catch. Fixed! Thanks.

The dkms.conf is leaving a dirty dkms tree for me when upgrading the kernel. The following update to dkms.conf fixed it:
