Jon Hunter 36e3d424b8 Revert "nvsciipc: Include change for nvsciipc_ioctl.h"
This reverts commit ee72e995da1ee31177a06053b4c89f3ba6a1060a.

Reason for revert: This breaks building the OOT modules standalone without the GPU sources which are not public. Futhermore, this header
appears to be internal and so should not be included in sources that
are distributed publicly.

Jira: NVIPC-2817

Build NvSciIpc KMD for DRIVE x86
================================

1) install kernel header package
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

check version of desktop using "uname -r" command.
kernel version must be 5.4.0+.

2) link common header files (NVIDIA internal dev only)
export NVSCIIPC_INCLUDE=${PWD}/../../../include
ln -s ${NVSCIIPC_INCLUDE}/linux ./
ln -s ${NVSCIIPC_INCLUDE}/uapi ./

3) build
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=${PWD} modules

4) install NvSciIpc KMD
sudo make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=${PWD} modules_install
sudo depmod -a

nvsciipc.ko will be installed in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/nvsciipc.ko

[NOTE] If kernel module installation is failed by missing signing key, follow steps below

** create x509.genkey
echo -e "[ req ] \n\
default_bits = 4096 \n\
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name \n\
prompt = no \n\
x509_extensions = myexts \n\
\n\
[ req_distinguished_name ] \n\
CN = Modules \n\
\n\
[ myexts ] \n\
basicConstraints=critical,CA:FALSE \n\
keyUsage=digitalSignature \n\
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash \n\
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid" > x509.genkey

** generate signing key
openssl req -new -nodes -utf8 -sha512 -days 36500 -batch -x509 -config x509.genkey -outform DER -out signing_key.x509 -keyout signing_key.pem

** move signing key to kernel module folder of desktop
sudo mv signing_key.* /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/certs/

5) clean
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=${PWD} clean

6) load NvSciIpc KMD
You can load NvSciIpc KMD during desktop boot.
sudo vi /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
add "nvsciipc" to this file

For manual loading KMD, do "sudo insmod nvsciipc.ko"
