The AUR package is maintained here: https://github.com/sickcodes/aur/tree/master/anbox-modules-dkms
Resurrected aur.archlinux.org/anbox-modules-dkms for maintenance
As per the Arch Wiki, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Anbox#Old_kernels
The dkms modules do not work on kernels ≥5.7 anymore. Follow the instructions below instead. For older kernels see Old kernels.
However, a user named @Choff has included some patches here:
This repo will be used to fix the anbox modules for 5.7+.

Fix compilation of binder and ashmem on kernel 5.7 and later
On kernel 5.7 and later, kallsyms_lookup_name() can no longer be called from a kernel module for reasons described here: https://lwn.net/Articles/813350/ As binder really needs to use kallsysms_lookup_name() to access some kernel functions that otherwise wouldn't be accessible, KProbes are used on later kernels to get the address of kallsysms_lookup_name(). The function is afterwards used just as before. This is a very dirty hack though and the much better solution would be if all the functions that are currently resolved with kallsysms_lookup_name() would get an EXPORT_SYMBOL() annotation to make them directly accessible to kernel modules.

Compile fixes for kernel >= 5.8
With the commit 64fe66e8a95e in the Linux kernel, the member "mmap_sem" in the struct mm_struct was renamed to "mmap_lock". This patch fixes the resulting compile errors.
https://github.com/choff/anbox-modules/commit/6ddae194592451d604726a286f566d0246aef567
Another compile fix for kernel >= 5.8
With kernel 5.8, the return value of map_kernel_range_noflush() was changed. This function now returns 0 on success (instead of the number of successfully mapped pages).
This commit adjusts binder accordingly.
Thank you so much @choff!
