What happened?

The build results in:

vbox_fb.c:214:10: error: ‘struct fb_ops’ has no member named ‘fb_debug_enter’
  214 |         .fb_debug_enter = drm_fb_helper_debug_enter,

      |                           drm_fb_helper_damage_area

The code:

virtualbox/src/VBox/Additions/linux/drm/vbox_fb.c

Lines 219 to 220 in 581733f

	.fb_debug_enter = drm_fb_helper_debug_enter,
	.fb_debug_leave = drm_fb_helper_debug_leave,

The hooks were removed by torvalds/linux@7068d42:

    fbcon: Remove fb_debug_enter/_leave from struct fb_ops

Vbox needs to adapt, likely remove the hooks.

How can we reproduce this?

Just build against the newest kernel.
