Hi,

I've just checked 4.19.10 kernel under Ubuntu:

	root@...-ubuntu:~/zzz/bypass/legit/new-mitigation/lkrg-main# insmod output/p_lkrg.ko p_init_log_level=0
	root@...-ubuntu:~/zzz/bypass/legit/new-mitigation/lkrg-main# dmesg|tail
	[  951.305810] hv_balloon: Balloon request will be partially fulfilled. Balloon floor reached.

	[ 1455.286597] [p_lkrg] LKRG initialized successfully!
	root@...-ubuntu:~/zzz/bypass/legit/new-mitigation/lkrg-main# uname -a
	Linux pi3-ubuntu 4.19.10-041910-generic #201812170433 SMP Mon Dec 17 09:35:34 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
	root@...-ubuntu:~/zzz/bypass/legit/new-mitigation/lkrg-main#

so everything works fine. Kernel which I've used is this one:

https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.19.10/

I believe you have not standard configuration of your kernel (like previously 
you've enabled dynamic kernel module support but at the same time you've 
disabled unloading of them - CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=n).

Nevertheless, I suspect you did not use CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER which 
is enabled by default on all modern kernels. LKRG should correctly detect that 
but I've missed that you can still compile new kernels (4.17+) without 
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER. I will try to address it soon.

Until I do it, you can try to compile kernel with that CONFIG option or 
manually change LKRG code. You can fix it by replacing following line of code 
in "lkrg-main/src/modules/exploit_detection/p_exploit_detection.h" file:

- #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4,17,0)
+ #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4,17,0) && defined(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER)

Thanks,
Adam
