Trying to Compile a Kernel for Xiaomi Note 7 (Lavender)

[Thiviyan]

hello guys

i am trying to compile a kernel for Xiaomi note 7 (lavender).. Kernel Version 4.4.212
its throwing a bunch of errors while compiling with kali nethunter configs.
git hub link for the kernel is : https://github.com/Thiviyan/xiaomi_kernel_lavender -b jasmine-q-oss

i dont see kernel v 4.4 patches in nethunter kernel build script so i have used v 4.14 patches.
maybe Mr re4son could fix this.

here i am attaching a full log file

Look under "4.04"
Had to name it that way to get them listed in ascending order.

Undeclared identifier? Did you get that after enabling ath9k_htc in the kernel config?

[re4son]

Mind adding "kali-nethunter-kernel/local.config" to your repo? Saves me looking for the toolchains you used.
That's what I usually do:

Thanks heaps

yes its after adding ath9k and other nethunter stuffs into it...

Sorry for not being clear. I meant could you please add your own "local.config" to the repository for me to use. It won't help you but it'll help me to continue where you left off

[re4son]

Awesome, thanks. Will look into it. Somehow I think I've already written a patch for it but I can't find it.

[Thiviyan]

thats cool dude... try to get it done as soon as possible....

That kernel looks like a mess to me. Half of it consist of CAF commits that don't talk to the other half.
Not sure we'll ever get mac80211 to work with that. Looking around for a cleaner base now.

i tried the official kernel too and its giving the same errors.

@re4son did you managed to patch the kernel?

[Thiviyan]

@re4son did you managed to patch the kernel?

i have patched the kernel and its compiling but its stuck on fast boot. i think it has to do something with toolchain..

[Anoncross]

Whice toolchain version did you used?

[Thiviyan]

for those who wanna test this kernel
Download and use https://github.com/Thiviyan/android_...tag/S133PY-RC1

@re4son here is the source link and clang included inside and look for the build script in .circleci folder.
i am not able to enable CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_RNDIS its give a lots of errors while compiling..
and i had to comment out some lines in
https://github.com/Thiviyan/android_...iaomi_lavender -b Nethuner
drivers/net/wireless/ath/regd.c
//for (chan_num = 0;
// chan_num < wiphy->bands[IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ]->n_channels;
//chan_num++) {
//chan = &wiphy->bands[IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ]->channels[chan_num];
//if (chan->flags & IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_20MHZ)
//chan->flags |= IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED;
//}
and
net/mac80211/tx.c
//case NUM_NL80211_BANDS:
//WARN_ON(1);
//break;
}
still injection and monitor mode works..

Please take a look at this

[Anoncross]

Did you enable hid?

[Thiviyan]

tested everything with Linage OS and almost everything works. except CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_RNDIS not activated.

[Thiviyan]

monitor mode on wlan0 works..

[re4son]

Wow, awesome stuff
Let me look into that RNDIS issue.

[Thiviyan]

I have this issue with some other model of xiaomi too. So it will be awesome if you get it fixed.
