Kernel – 4.11-rc1 Released – Breaks (Patched) VMware and NVIDIA..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on by

Kernel 4.11-rc1 has been released, and brief details are here: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1703.0/03031.html

Updated the test system, and 4.10-patched versions of VMware 12.5.2 and NVIDIA 378.13 fail to compile..

VMware (12.5.2 – patched for 4.9/4.10):

  1. The following patches seem to fix VMWare for me. Judging by the error message, adding “#include ” might also work for nVidia.

      Can you please give me two files back. Or any solution to my problem
      Thanks.

      • I also had this problem with implicit function declarations…

        /tmp/modconfig-VjDerT/vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c:3264:4: error: implicit declaration of function ‘allow_signal’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
        allow_signal(SIGKILL);
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~

        force_sig(SIGKILL, linuxState.fastClockThread);

        Not to be deterred (what’s the worst that can happen – vmware didn’t work anyway) I just commented out the 2 implicit function declarations, recompiled the modules and hey presto – vmware is up and running again…

        As per your compilation errors, inside vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c at line numbers 3264 and 3418, just comment out the lines

        /* line3264 allow_signal(SIGKILL); */

        /* line3418 force_sig(SIGKILL, linuxState.fastClockThread); */

        recompile (sudo vmware-modconfig –console –install-all) and you shouldn’t have these errors anymore…

        Good luck.

  3. I was having trouble… And yes! your patch fixed my problem with vmware-patch on Arch Linux 4.11.2-1 with Nvidia and VMware 12.1.0. Thanks loads!
