Ticket #19644, comment 58

initial	v1
1	1	Sorry, looks like patching up 6.0.x will be more difficult. Those patches above compile, and I found several more patches from the 5.8 meta-oe-vboxguestdrivers-Fix-buil-with-kernel-5.8.patch I had missed that applied and built cleanly, but no dice. I ended up with "Failed to load R0 module /usr/lib/virtualbox/VMMR0.r0: RTLdrGetBits failed (VERR_SYMBOL_VALUE_TOO_BIG).", due to not applying more needed patches that will not apply cleanly.
2	2
3		The first few patches are the "the system call got renamed, or moved to another header" type of patches, a 1 line fix; the map_vm_area() changes look more extensive but contained, and patch code that's identical in 6.0.24 to 6.1.14 or whatever they were for... however, the map_vm_area() replacement relies on the ELF loader patches that are in the meta-oe patch (ring 0 binary it loads is an ELF executable), but THOSE patches don't apply cleanly at all, even patching files that don't exist in 6.0.24. Probably doable but a bit more time than I care to spend working through it... my single system that does not have virtualization extensions is not fast at all, and runs a VM even slower, I just thought I'd put up some quick patches if I could.
