Problem building an out of tree modules for kernel version 5.8.0

[Michael McCann]

I'm trying to build out of tree modules for kernel version 5.8.0 for a X86
host. Below are the results when I attempt to compile the modules.















*test at test-GA-78LMT-USB3-6-0:~/X86module$ ./BuildDrivermake: Entering

This is the source code for the module being compiled:

"mykthread"); if (mythread > 0) { printk(LOGLEVEL "kthread created\n");
               r = wake_up_process(mythread);                     if (r) {
printk(LOGLEVEL "kthread started\n");
printk(LOGLEVEL "kthread pid = %0#10x  %d\n", mythread->pid,
mythread->pid);            }                    else printk(LOGLEVEL

stopping...\n"); do_exit(0); } }}static void __exit kthread_exit(void) {
