Building sepdk on Linux kernel 6.1 fails.

[Daniel_H]

Hi,

I'd just like to report that building sepdk driver on Linux kernel 6.1 does fail.

On LTS 5.15 it works perfectly.

Here is the output of the failing build attempt:

sudo ./build-driver -ni

Make version: 4.4

Failed to build the drivers

Hi,

Thanks for posting in intel communities.

Please be informed that Driverless Perf based collections on ADL is supported by Linux kernel since 5.15.5. Thats why you are facing issue when trying to building sepdk driver on Linux kernel 6.1, which is beyond 5.15.

Please refer the below link

If this resolves your issue, make sure to accept this as a solution. This would help others with similar issue.

Thanks

Thanks for your answer.

Indeed it works. It was quite a long time I didn't use vtune & co, and I was still trained to build and launch the driver.

Sorry for the nuisance.
