nvidia-367 367.57-0ubuntu0.16.04.1: nvidia-367 kernel module failed to build [./arch/x86/include/asm/arch_hweight.h:58:7: error: expected absolute expression]

[Kunal Tyagi]

Error occured while no update/upgrade was being performed. Auto reported by the system.

I was using Chrome 51 (some light sites, a WebGL app, facebook, the usual) and vlc when the system hung for about 3-4 minutes. When the system started responding again, the font's looked a bit off in Chrome, no noticeable change in rest of the system.

Bug occured for me after kernel has updated.
4.4.0-59-generic works fine, bit with 4.4.0-61-generic it reproduceably crashes.

Occurs with the 66er Kernel, too. Update just went through and after boot I am in fallback mode w/o graqphis driver.
