At commit 9562994a7aacee2baae6ddee1a7b558b48ae39ef, tunable debug.link_elf_obj_leak_locals was flipped to 0 (true), causing nvidia.ko with default options of x11/nvidia-kmod* to fail loading, causing nvidia-modeset.ko to fail, then, nvidia-drm.ko to fail, too. Even without LINUX option enabled (non-default), nvidia-modeset.ko still fail as of the lack of (formerly available) local symbols in nvidia.ko. And nvidia-drm.ko wants local symbols in nvidia-modeset.ko. Patch at Bug 291232 (the same patch is available via review D53987) would fix the issue. Note that commit 9562994a7aacee2baae6ddee1a7b558b48ae39ef is temporarily reverted at commit fad4c92b78a123f87195173ac118655fa8e325cd. And I predict commit e00a781c216cb12603a0a71c9ca293dde3e06250 would allow linux*.ko to be loaded, thus, LINUX option would hopefully become safe to enble again. (I've put links to the PR and review in another post.) I have only one computer for FreeBSD, having 2 SSDs for stable/15 and main respectively, so to test on main, I need to reboot into main environment (which is outdated and need upgrading first to obtain commit e00a781c216cb12603a0a71c9ca293dde3e06250). So untested on main branch, nor on recent models of GPUs. Regards. -- Tomoaki AOKI <junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp>help
