Description (last modified by )
The Linux kernel is about to drop function mod_timer_pinned See:
This change has meanwhile already been adopted by realtime patch rt8, resulting in vbox modules being un-available for this patched kernel. The function will be ultimately dropped from kernel series 48.
Current situation in vbox is this:
$ grep -re "mod_timer_pinned" src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c:# define mod_timer_pinned mod_timer src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c: mod_timer_pinned(&pSubTimer->u.Std.LnxTimer, pSubTimer->u.Std.ulNextJiffies); src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c: mod_timer_pinned(&pSubTimer->u.Std.LnxTimer, pSubTimer->u.Std.ulNextJiffies); src/VBox/Runtime/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c: mod_timer_pinned(&pSubTimer->u.Std.LnxTimer, pSubTimer->u.Std.ulNextJiffies);

I was not clear about the rt patch: This concerns rt kernels from 4.6.4-rt8 and newer.
