Description
The vboxguest kernel module does not build on a 3.2.0 kernel because kmalloc_array did not appear until kernel 3.2.51 whereas the test in memobj-r0drv-linux.c tests for a 3.2.0 or higher kernel.
Thus the line (line no 60):
| defined(DOXYGEN_RUNNING) |
should be changed to
| defined(DOXYGEN_RUNNING) |

Thanks for the report. We took a different approach to the fix but this has now been addressed in revision r142110 of the development branch of VirtualBox and will be available in any development snapshot Testbuilds of the Guest Additions which includes that revision. The fix has also been backported to the 6.1 branch of VirtualBox as of revision r142111 and will be available in any 6.1.x Testbuilds of the Guest Additions which include that revision. The fix will also be part of the next maintenance release of VirtualBox 6.1.x.
