Message Body
Hello,

The linux-module-build-system crash when using an inferior package as
the
kernel. I have first reported the issue in the second part of[0] and
latter, reading[1] made me realize that the root cause was in `(guix
`build-system linux-module)' and not directly related to the
`kernel-loadable-modules' field.

I tried fixing it myself but (guix inferior) seems to be missing some
important procedures so I can manage to do it by myself - I don't have
the
skills to modify that part of the code base. A way to make a package by
inheriting from a inferior-package would greatly help because
`make-linux-module-builder' assume that it's argument is straight
forward
package.

Following is the file `linux-module-inferior.scm' to reproduce the
error:

Toggle snippet (31 lines)

Hello Guix,

Gentle bump.

The core of this issue is that a package can't depend on a
<inferior-package> because build systems assume the inputs are
<package>. Having a procedure 'inferior-package->package' would solve
it, but I'm guessing this isn't possible.

Here is an updated package file to reproduce the issue:

Toggle snippet (35 lines)
(use-modules (gnu)
(gnu system)
(srfi srfi-1)
(guix inferior)
(guix utils)
(guix packages)
(guix channels))
(use-package-modules linux)

(define channels
(list (channel
(name 'guix)
(url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
(commit "6886c4960dd4d8913113ae0330cd8b2d27947a57"))))

(define my-linux
(let ((inferior (inferior-for-channels channels)))
(first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior "linux-libre"
"5.12"))))

(package/inherit ddcci-driver-linux
(arguments
(ensure-keyword-arguments
(package-arguments ddcci-driver-linux)

;; It works!
;; `(#:linux ,(specification->package
;; "linux-libre@5.12"))

;; It doesn't work...
`(#:linux ,my-linux)

)))

Here is the backtrace outputed when building the package:

In this case, the problem is that (@ (guix build-system linux-module)
lower) assumes that ‘linux’ is a <package>:

(build-inputs `(,@(if source
`(("source" ,source))
'())
,@native-inputs

I suppose you could add a special-case for (inferior-package? linux).
Not pretty, but it’d do the job.

If we want to go further, we’ll have to end up with GOOPS…

HTH!

As I said on IRC, I had already tried that without success. I did the

Building a parent class of <package> and <inferior-package> looks really
involved to just fix this issue. Is there another way, or are we forced to
use GOOPS in that case?

Going full GOOPS isn't necessary. Something like 'define-gexp-compiler'
could be useful here, to make 'package-inputs' and the like support
inferior packages. More specifically, something like this:

;; In (guix packages)
(define %inputs-hashtable (make-hash-table 2))

(define (package-inputs package)
;; Fast path: package is actually a <package>
(if (eq? (struct-vtable package) <package>)
(%package-inputs package) ; expects a <package>
((hashq-ref %inputs-hashtable (struct-vtable package)) package)))

;; In (guix inferior):
(hashq-set! %inputs-hashtable <inferior-package> %inferior-package-inputs)

and likewise for native-inputs, propagated-inputs, name, version, ...
(some macroology is recommended).

Or, simpler, but less extensible (but probably good enough):

(define-module (guix packages)
[...]
#:autoload (guix inferior) (inferior-package-inputs [...]))

[...]
(define (package-inputs package)
(cond ((package? package) (%package-inputs package))
((inferior-package? package) (inferior-package-inputs package))
(#t (error (G_ "tried to use 'package-inputs' on a non-package object ~a") package))))

The idea of both suggestions is to let 'package-name', 'package-native-inputs',
... work on both regular <package> and <inferior-package> objects.

Greetings,
Maxime.

Or, as the comment says, it might be enough just to not get the
package-native-inputs from the package ever, but do hard-code
bc, gcc and kmod. Maybe add a comment why :)

The reason I hadn't done that back then is because it's slightly less
maintenance to not have Linux's native-inputs copy&pasted like this
(one day, Linux could switch the GCC version they use).
But really, we should be good for years anyway.
I'm not sure whether Linux checks whether it's being compiled with the
right compiler, though. If not, that could cause some nasty silent
miscompilations in the future.
