patch for 387.34 and Linux 4.15.0-rc1

With the recent timer changes in 4.15.0-rc1, the nvidia build needed to be updated to use the new timer functions.

The below patch also contains everything else needed to build the latest nvidia kernel modules under 4.15 as well.

Please note that this is a patch that is formatted to be compatible with DKMS so it will be in the -p1 format.

Nice, reserved todays evening to fix that timer update because it looked non trivial at first glance on my phone, but you worked it out first (need to learn to read cocci semantic patches).

noob question.
how do i apply patch, is it for kernel or driver.
I have installed the newest driver for NVIDIA Corporation C67 [GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M]

it will not install on 4.15.x or 4.15.0rcX

i can run nouveau but not nvidia-304 ( standard linux non-free distro ) or your self installing custom driver @ 304.1370 Geforce Driver Results | NVIDIA

is there patch install instructions somewhere ?

The 387.34 (ubuntu bundled) compiles fine on 4.15.9 with this patch applied. PRIME synchronization, however, doesn’t work. A very similar patch is available to 390.25 which allows PRIME to work - but 390.25 has a ton of other bugs of it’s own. EDIT: comparing with the 390.25 I see that conftest patch was missing. Apppend to the above patch the following block and prime will work:
