Bug Description

kernel v5.10-rc1 introduced a change ( 596b0474d3d9 "kbuild: preprocess module linker script" ) that affects where and how scripts/module.lds is used and causes external modules to fail to build since that linker script is not shipped in the linux-{image,header} packages.

I've been testing the mainline PPA kernel v5.10-rc5 and today installed v4l2loopback-dkms and hit this issue.

It will affect all DKMS packages. Ubuntu carries 39 DKMS packages.

See the LKML discussion:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/31/455

I had already reported this as bug 1906072 two days before this bug was opened.

But I guess since this is where the activity happens, someone should mark my bug as duplicate of this.

Got this issue when update Ubuntu kernel to 5.10.7-051007 and got this problem when install rtl8821ce driver.
Seem like new Debian kernel including 5.10 > 5.11 trying to change module.lsb to module.lsb.S but the dkms cannot read the S file extension and trying to grab the lsb file and that where the problem occur.

So here the solution that I use to fix this issue. Go to usr/src/linux-headers-[KERNEL-VERSION]-generic/scripts and copy module.lsb.S, remove the include line, and save it as module.lsb then run dkms again. These file will change for kernel version so you have to do it yourself.

The file that I attached here is for 5.10 kernel, if you're in 5.10, you can use this module. Maybe I will create the issue in DKMS.
