How to install kernel modules after a successful compiling

From: FuLong Wang <hidden>

Hello Experts,


I'm trying to enable some infiniband related kernel modules (ib_ipoib, 
iser, isert, etc) on my RHEL 7.6 instance running on IBM linuxONE 
machine. (I have found the code in the kernel source tree.)

After installing the kernel source rpm in a normal user and make module 
selection using the "make menuconfig" command, i can successfully 
re-built all the selected modules (include the new selection) with the 
"make modules" command.

I copied the desired module files to the 
"/lib/modules/3.10.0-957.el7.s390x/kernel/drivers/infiniband/ulp" dir 
and the depmod -a command also was executed with no errors.

[root@bz094f ulp]# pwd
/lib/modules/3.10.0-957.el7.s390x/kernel/drivers/infiniband/ulp
[root@bz094f ulp]#
[root@bz094f ulp]# ls -l ipoib
total 5704
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5837016 Dec  9 15:50 ib_ipoib.ko
[root@bz094f ulp]# ls -l iser
total 2880
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2946496 Dec  9 15:50 ib_iser.ko
[root@bz094f ulp]# ls  -l isert
total 1384
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1414304 Dec  9 15:50 ib_isert.ko
[root@bz094f ulp]#


But after reboot the OS, i found the new copied modules can't be loaded 
by the kernel.

errors reported in the /var/log/message:

Re: How to install kernel modules after a successful compiling

From: FuLong Wang <hidden>
Date: 2020-12-10 04:26:10

Alexander,


Thanks for the reminder!


I realized that the new build module is with version "3.10.0" and so not 
match with my running kernel version "3.10.0-957.el7.s390x".

I do confirm that i was using the right kernel source rpm.

So, the question turns to why the "make modules" command changed the 
kernel version of built modules to "3.10.0" instead of 
"3.10.0-957.el7.s390x".


Is there any special steps i need to follow to keep the original kernel 
naming convention?

btw: I'm following below article to compile the kernel modules.

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules


Thanks!

Re: How to install kernel modules after a successful compiling

From: FuLong Wang <hidden>
Date: 2020-12-10 07:51:28


When I try to install the new built kernel and modules, i found the 
install script will assign the kernel version as "3.10.0".

Where is this defined?
Can we keep it as the current kernel version or change it as we want?

I realized that the new build module is with version "3.10.0" and so not 
match with my running kernel version "3.10.0-957.el7.s390x".

I do confirm that i was using the right kernel source rpm.

So, the question turns to why the "make modules" command changed the 
kernel version of built modules to "3.10.0" instead of 
"3.10.0-957.el7.s390x".


Is there any special steps i need to follow to keep the original kernel 
naming convention?

The kernel version is set via these config options via scripts/setlocalversion:
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO

In your setup, CONFIG_LOCALVERSION is probably set to 3.10.0.
If that is the case, try setting CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="" via 'make
menuconfig', and ensure that CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set to 'y'.
Where is this defined?
Can we keep it as the current kernel version or change it as we want?

When I try to install the new built kernel and modules, i found the
install script will assign the kernel version as "3.10.0".
The kernel version is set via these config options via scripts/setlocalversion:
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO

In your setup, CONFIG_LOCALVERSION is probably set to 3.10.0.
If that is the case, try setting CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="" via 'make
menuconfig', and ensure that CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set to 'y'.

Where is this defined?
Can we keep it as the current kernel version or change it as we want?

Alexander,


Thanks for the reminder!


I realized that the new build module is with version "3.10.0" and so not
match with my running kernel version "3.10.0-957.el7.s390x".

I do confirm that i was using the right kernel source rpm.

So, the question turns to why the "make modules" command changed the
kernel version of built modules to "3.10.0" instead of
"3.10.0-957.el7.s390x".


Is there any special steps i need to follow to keep the original kernel
naming convention?

btw: I'm following below article to compile the kernel modules.

Thanks!

You mentioned that you were following the instructions to build your
modules using this article,
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BuildingKernelModules.
Which method did you use?
Some of the methods describe setting the kernel version in their
respective config files. E.g. cifs-kmod.spec.
Perhaps your build environment relies on those config files to set the
version of the kernel module?
