Not working on SteamOS 3.5

[linkstar612]

Fix was straightforward and easy to apply on earlier OS builds, but the upcoming SteamOS 3.5 (available on main branch) is incompatible. Since 3.5 is bringing a bunch of performance fixes to games, I would be happy to troubleshoot or provide any logs to get this working ahead of the official release. Thanks again for your work!

I have made changes on the develop branch that fixes this, but it may be a bit overkill. Previously I mirrored the include files that weren't available through the kernel headers thinking the internel api wouldn't change so easily. Shocked pikachu face when it did.

My solution was to have a script that copies the necessary headers for the linux-kernel and only build against the headers for the kernel you are targeting. These can be checked in (with the necessary LICENSE and COPYING files) so that downstream consumers don't have to do this, but are also easily updated when there are kernel updates.

The problem where I last left it was selecting the correct linux-kernel-source package for the linux-headers source from the steam arch mirror. I also haven't done this header copying process for stable yet.

I also haven't exactly been following best practices developing this I initially just wanted to prove it could be done.

I'll try and see where I last left it and finish the work, but I have gotten it to work on 3.5. If you want to troubleshoot, you can try running from develop and see if it works for you.

Ultimately if we want to fix this without my janky solution, we could file a bug report to the kernel upsteam to provide a kernel parameter there.

I have filed a report on Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217567 EDIT: Filed in wrong place, now here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2638

I'll leave this open for a while to see if you have any issues. I merged develop in master and tagged the old and new version.

Thank you for leaving the issue open. 6.1.21-valve1 worked with SteamOS 3.5 update, but I am having issues getting 6.1.29-valve4 to work. I downloaded and extracted linux-neptune-61-6.1.29.valve4-2.src.tar.gz from /archlinux-mirror/sources/jupiter-main/ and updated the module with 6.1.29-valve4. When trying to run 'make build' I am now greeted with this error.

If you find the time, could you look into this error or release a version with kernel 6.1.29-valve4 support? Thank you for your work.

Thanks. Will try look into it this weekend.

Fixed unless valve breaks it again.
