Will not compile under kernel 4.15

See here for patch: http://ossnext.trueinstruments.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5862

Updated (4.2_2017-1) for new release - OSS v4.2 Build 2017: http://ossnext.trueinstruments.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5841 Now working again with Arch kernel 4.8.

Note: This does not work with Arch kernel 4.8 with default configuration due to new CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY feature being enabled. Workaround would be to compile a custom kernel with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY disabled or alternately use oss or oss-git, which include a patch to avoid this issue (a similar patch does not appear to be possible for oss-nonfree as that code seems to be precompiled).

Updated (4.2_2011-3) with a patch to allow compilation with 4.6 kernels.

Updated (4.2_2011-2) with patch by "oss117" from OSS forums: http://www.4front-tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5800&p=21140 This should fix the compile error for 4.x kernels (tested as working for 4.0.1).

Updated (4.2_2011-1) for build 2011.

I think the libflashsupport-oss issue should be fixed - all three (oss-nonfree, oss, oss-git) now have their own respective libflashsupport packages. I wasn't able to solve the permissions warnings though - seems to be for oss-nonfree only so I'm guessing something to do with the way the source file archive? As mentioned before it seems to work fine for me despite the warnings.

@nuc: Thanks for checking and posting back. Yes I noticed it was a bit odd now that AUR does not allow all 3 of the base packages to have a "libflashsupport-oss". The reason why I left it as "libflashsupport-oss" in optdepends is I thought this would allow any of the 3 "libflashsupport-oss" to work, though thinking again you probably always want the one associated with the base package so I'll have a look at changing it in the way you suggest. I'm not sure about what is causing those warnings (I get them too but osstest seems to work), whether it's a new feature in AUR/makepkg or a change in file permissions in the OSS source archive. Nor do I know how to resolve them - do I need to change the directory permissions in the package somehow? I'll have a look at this while checking out the "libflashsupport-oss" issue. Again I'm travelling for work so it will be Friday before I can make any of these fixes.
