After a successful compile, installing of the fglrx (ati-driver) is blocked: LD [M] /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-15.1/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.o Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 1 modules FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module fglrx.ko uses GPL-only symbol 'cpu_tlbstate' scripts/Makefile.modpost:90: recipe for target '__modpost' failed GPL-only symbol 'cpu_tlbstate' is invoked in kernel-4*/arch/x86/mm/init.c by "DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED(struct tlb_state, cpu_tlbstate) = { #ifdef CONFIG_SMP .active_mm = &init_mm, .state = 0, #endif .cr4 = ~0UL, /* fail hard if we screw up cr4 shadow initialization */ }; EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cpu_tlbstate);" kernel-3.18.6 did not include any reference to cpu_tlbstate in . The block can be corrected simply by changing EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cpu_tlbstate); to EXPORT_SYMBOL(cpu_tlbstate); in all kernel-4 /arch/x86/mm/init.c Bug 96841 performed a similar service for nvidia users.
