Install linux-headers

[krovetz]

I would like to compile a kernel module that allows me access to the performance registers.

How can I install the headers?

You can grab them off macchiatobin’s github: https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/linux-marvell

Just make sure to use the correct branch according to your present kernel. Available branches for the 4.4.52 kernel are:

linux-4.4.52-armada-17.04
linux-4.4.52-armada-17.06 (this is the branch recommended in the current HowTo kernel wiki)
linux-4.4.52-armada-17.08
linux-4.4.52-armada-17.10

HowTo kernel wiki itself: http://wiki.macchiatobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Build+from+source+-+Kernel

Could you point me in a right direction how to do that? I also need to compile a driver module. I have a source code of kernel, I checked out the right version. My goal is to make it work as if I had linux-headers-xxx package installed (sadly one for macchiatobin is not available). Right now there is no /lib/module

So I did make deb-pkg and installed it – that ended with warning N: Can’t drop privileges for downloading as file ‘/root/linux-headers-4.4.52-armada-17.10.3-g6adee55_4.4.52-armada-17.10.3-g6adee55-2_arm64) and then tried to compile rtl8812au driver with this result: Pastbin
