Notice:

To avoid crashes when upgrading Guest Additions from version 6.x to 7.x on Windows guests, uninstall the old Guest Additions first, then reboot, and then install the new ones. It's recommended to do all these operations in Safe Mode. See this upstream bug ticket for more details.

Linux 5.9-1 guest-additions build fails so it looks like applying the same patch is needed by the guest-additions package. Error from vboxadd-setup.log

In file included from /tmp/vbox.0/VBoxGuest-linux.c:36:
/tmp/vbox.0/r0drv/linux/the-linux-kernel.h:141:11: fatal error: linux/smp_lock.h: No such file or directory
  141 | # include <linux/smp_lock.h>
      |           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

The 021-kernel-5.9.patch looks like it should have addressed this, maybe this can be adapted to the guest-additions package produced during the build?

The crux is this, the src file installed on the host in /usr/src/vboxhost-6.1.14_non_OSE/ are patched for 5.9.1, the files that get installed on the guest to /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-6.1.14/src/vboxgues-6.1.14/ are not (they are still dated Sept. 4, 2020). So guest additions fail to build on Arch guests.

@Kr1ss Thanks for pointing this. Fixed.

Unfortunately in my case the versions that works causes kernel panics.

Those versions work:

@nursoda At the time of this writing, VirtualBox 6.1.13 is not yet released by upstream. Not even the repository package is updated to 6.1.13.

nursoda commented on 2020-08-14 13:01 (UTC)

For the time being, could you please update to 6.1.13 – virtualbox-ext-oracle is updated already and breaks virtualbox-bin due to 12 vs 13 version mismatch. I know that I can downgrade that but … I try to stay up-to-date on all packages ;) Anyway: Does 6.1.13 solve the Kernel 5.8 issue?

dbermond commented on 2020-08-12 20:25 (UTC)

Upgrading linux to 5.8 will break virtualbox-bin 6.1.12.

I've prepared a patch for linux 5.8 (based on the repository package) but apparently it modifies the modules version, since it causes a 'module version mismatch' error when running a virtual machine.

So a patch for the dkms sources will not be sufficient. We need an update from upstream supporting linux 5.8. Based on the release history, it should not take too much long.

Hi, after installing 6.1.12-1 + extension pack a Windows 10 guest can be used with the new guest additions, but a Windows 7 guest doesn't boot anymore, after installing the guest additions. Starting Windows 7 in safe mode works, but doesn't find a solution. I restored Windows 7 from a snapshot and tried again. The Windows 7 guest failed to boot again after installing the guest additions. Does anybody experience the same issue?
