Description
The Linux kernel is about to drop function mod_timer_pinned See: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=177ec0a0a531695210b277d734b2f92ee5796303 This change has meanwhile already been adopted by realtime patch rt8, resulting in vbox modules being un-available for this patched kernel. The function will be ultimately dropped from kernel series 48.
Current situation in vbox is this:
$ grep -re "mod_timer_pinned"
src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c:# define mod_timer_pinned mod_timer src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c: mod_timer_pinned(&pSubTimer->u.Std.LnxTimer, pSubTimer->u.Std.ulNextJiffies); src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c: mod_timer_pinned(&pSubTimer->u.Std.LnxTimer, pSubTimer->u.Std.ulNextJiffies); src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c: mod_timer_pinned(&pSubTimer->u.Std.LnxTimer, pSubTimer->u.Std.ulNextJiffies);
