Kernel 4.20-rc1 with 410.73 - Patched to Fix Compile, but Not Working Correctly..

Graphics / Linux Linux

Patched the source of 410.73 - with the pm patch already applied - to fix the two compile time errors:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.73-custom/kernel/nvidia/linux_nvswitch.c:1582:5: error: implicit declaration of function ‘time_to_tm’; did you mean ‘time64_to_tm’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

and

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.73-custom/kernel/nvidia-drm/nvidia-drm-gem-nvkms-memory.c:348:11: error: implicit declaration of function ‘vm_insert_pfn’; did you mean ‘vmf_insert_pfn’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Compiled successfully, but with repeated warnings:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-410.73-custom/kernel/nvidia-uvm/uvm_linux.h:270:2: warning: #warning "atomic64_t unavailable, demoting to atomic_t!" [-Wcpp]
#warning "atomic64_t unavailable, demoting to atomic_t!"

At runtime, the screen flickered with garbage characters, and eventually loaded, with warnings…

This is obviously not a ‘correct’ solution, so any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks to [i]loqs[/i], there is now a patch for NVIDIA 415.18 and kernel 4.20.

I have tested this with 4.20-rc3, and everything seems to be working correctly (KDE/Plasma etc…).
