Path for kernel 5.9.1

Are you asking how to apply a patch because you've never applied one before, or you just don't know how to get to the code to apply it?
If it's the former, I don't recommend you even try. It's not a very straightforward procedure and you can ruin your entire installation.
The former it is. Could you please provide detailed instructions on how to apply the patch? Thank you!
 
I did this same change locally and it fixes compilation on arch linux using kernel v5.9.3. But I'm not able to copy files fro host shared directory. It fails, complaining about no memory available.
I downgraded to kernel v5.8 just as a test and compilation works + I'm able to copy files from host shared directory.
So there's still something else missing to fix v5.9+

You did the patch use the patch file or manually modify the file, if you did it manually, watch out the first modification changed the flag value too
 
I applied the patch on a fresh Kali 2020.4 (three times) and always get the message, that the installation of Parallels Tools was successfull. After rebooting and logging in, the VM only shows a white screen.
When I try to boot in the Recovery Mode it reads:
Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.
Does anyone has an idea, how this could be solved?
 
Thanks for the patch, at least dynamic resolution is working now - but would about clipboard sharing? It still seems to be broken :(
 
As usual, Arch updated the kernel to the latest and Parallel Tools failed to re-build. Attached is the patch (tested on both 16.0.0.48916 and 16.0.1.48919).
Many thanks - this worked like a charm. I have tried about 20 other solutions, but you nailed it. I did have to have a few deep breaths (vodka) doing the manual diff but not that hard. Worked first time. Now if there were only a wireless adapter that worked with Kali in a Mac VM life would be perfect ;). Thanks again
 
Just to correct my previous post: clipboard sharing is working correctly, if one switches Fedora to use Gnome on Xorg instead of Wayland session! I wasn't really aware of the fact that I've been using Wayland and now that I've switched to Xorg, sharing is working with fine again. Apparently it's simply not implemented in Parallels Tools for Wayland at the moment, and doesn't have anything to do with kernel upgrade.

Thank you very much, the author of the patch, for your excellent work!
 
for those getting white screen on MacBook Pro with additional graphic card with latest Kali 2021.1 just switch off the option to always use high performance adapter.
This in combination with the kernel patch allows me to run Kali 2021.1 with 3D-Acceleration enabled.
Thanks for the DIFF file :-)
