The type of (((struct class *)0)->devnode) has changed at least twice in the mainline kernel. Coding based on mainline kernel versions has repeatedly run into the problem of distros backporting features to older kernels. Solved here using _Generic and multiple function definitions.
Compiling under Linux 6.9.9 and gcc 10.3.1.
msr_version.h #defines for major, minor, and patch versions of msr-safe as well as helper macros to generate _u32 and string representation. Makefile Removes CURRENT_VERSION and -DVERSION from build. msrsave now gets the version string from msr_version.h msrsave_main.c msr_entry.c Now #includes msr_version.h and uses MSR_SAFE_VERSION_STR msr_safe.h Repurposes a bit of struct padding to hold a _u32-format msr-safe version number. README.md Updates documentation of struct msr_batch_array to note the new version field. Explains how this will remain unused in the 1.x.y series. Version 2.x.y will begin checking this version field to make sure what the user compiled against is the same version as the loaded kernel module. This is necessary due to anticipated batch API changes in version 2.0.0. Tested on serif (Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, Linux 6.8.0, gcc 13.2.0)
README.md Describes new error (ENOPROTOOP) that results from a mismatch between the loaded kernel module and what's in the batch request. examples/example.c Updated to use versioning. msr_batch.c Checks for correct version as part of batch request parsing. msr_version.h Bumped version to 2.0.0. Tested on serif.
