Compiling OpenAFS on Fedora27 ppc64 with 4.16 Linux kernel fails due to missing file module.lds
Compile had worked with 4.15 kernel
This bug is similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1531182

Here is the kernel change:

kernel-devel package does not seem to contain arch/powerpc/kernel/module.lds
Copying module.lds from github allowed module compile to complete.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install openafs pacakages after building from SRPMS on ppc64 system
2.dkms build openafs/1.6.22.2-1.fc27 -k 4.16.5-200.fc27.ppc64/ppc64
3.grep -B5 Error /var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.6.22.2-1.fc27/build/config.log
Actual Results:  
  ld -EB -m elf64ppc -r  -T ./scripts/module-common.lds -T ./arch/powerpc/kernel/module.lds --save-restore-funcs --build-id  -o /var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.6.22.2-1.fc27/build/conftest.dir/conftest.ko /var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.6.22.2-1.fc27/build/conftest.dir/conftest.o /var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.6.22.2-1.fc27/build/conftest.dir/conftest.mod.o ;  make -f ./arch/powerpc/Makefile.postlink /var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.6.22.2-1.fc27/build/conftest.dir/conftest.ko
make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/kernels/4.16.5-200.fc27.ppc64'
ld: cannot open linker script file ./arch/powerpc/kernel/module.lds: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:129: /var/lib/dkms/openafs/1.6.22.2-1.fc27/build/conftest.dir/conftest.ko] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:1569: modules] Error 2


Expected Results:  
dkms build should have finished successfully

Comment 1 Dan Horák 2018-05-03 16:21:40 UTC
Fix similar to https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/c/23e036f36c5a1535bcb4eaa5510c108195c9d8da?branch=master is needed. Maybe a generic solution would be better as arch/*/kernel/module.lds exists for arm64, arm, m68k, powerpc and riscv in the mainline kernel tree.

Comment 2 Laura Abbott 2018-05-04 20:21:51 UTC
Fix added, should be picked up in the next stable release sometime next week.
