VirtualBox-6.0-6.0.12_133076_el8-2.x86_64.rpm GAs fail to build on CentOS-8 Stream -> duplicate of 18917

[tru_tru]

Installing VirtualBox-6.0-6.0.12_133076_el8-2.x86_64.rpm work fine, but sudo /sbin/vboxconfig fails with kernel-4.18.0-144.el8.x86_64

​https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h?id=96d4f267e40f9509e8a66e2b39e8b95655617693

has probably been backported in the 4.18.0-144 kernel

I override the "#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(5, 0, 0)" check in /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/memuserkernel-r0drv-linux.c and it compiles now.

Nice find and a fix. Thank you, tru_tru.

[Klaus Espenlaub]

Already fixed in the current 6.0.13 test builds (there is an el8 rpm available)...

Thx again for looking at it.
