Can't compile driver on Linux kernel 2.6.27... deprecated functions

[AJ13]

Hi all, I've upgraded my kernel and I cannot compile the VTune driver anymore. It looks like some of the functions and macros used have been deprecated. Here is the output with build errors. I'm on Intrepid Ibex (Ubuntu) which uses 2.6.27. I know that this isn't a supported version of Ubuntu and such, however but perhaps someone could do a quick fix?

Have you checkedVTune Analyzer's release notes,if your new Linux* kernel 2.6.27 is supported?

Actually kernel 2.6.27 is not supported in latest v9.1, so please work on some supported Linux* distros - e.g.Red Hat* Fedora* 8 and 9, kernel2.6.25-14.fc9

Thank you for your response.

While I realize that my kernel is not officially supported, this driver will have to be ported to future kernels anyways. I attempted to erase the third argument of all calls to on_each_cpu, which is deprecated. This reduced the number of errors, however it appears that the macro find_task_by_pid was deprecated, and is no longer available. I'm not sure how to fix that one.

My goal in asking for help on this forum, is to generate a patch that will help all of us on newer kernels :-)

You have to wait for future VTune Performance Analyzer for Linux 9.1 new Updates to support newer Linux kernel.
