VMware – 14.1.1 released – OK with Kernel 4.15..
As expected, there is a new release of VMware – 14.1.1 – and brief details are here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/14/rn/workstation-1411-release-notes.html
This version compiles and loads OK with the latest 4.15-rc kernel – tested with 4.15-rc7, and no longer needs the vmmon series of patches.

Fedora 27 / kernel 4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64 / VMware WS 14.1.1 build is failing with:
make[1]: Entering directory ‘/usr/src/kernels/4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64’
Makefile:946: *** “Cannot generate ORC metadata for CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel”. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/usr/src/kernels/4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64’
There is missing dependency. Just install :
# dnf install elfutils-libelf-devel elfutils-libelf-devel-static
and start
# vmware &
