Created attachment 369742 [details, diff] Patch from Comment 2 in File form This is the patch listed in Comment 2, plus some other work, as mine was still erroring out compiling with some more calls to the same function. I did the same, and just removed/commented out. Compiled fine, I'll find out shortly if my VMs still work :)
So it isn't perfect... Kernel 3.12.9, starting a VM I now get: VMWare Workstation has detected that your host system contains a mix of processors with incompatible VT-x feature sets. Click Cancel to cancel or OK to continue without using VT-x.
Ok... Ignore that patch.. it isn't needed, and broken (it gives the error, then just sits there, doing nothing)... See bug 488072 and forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7470234.html It's CFLAGS. I removed the patch, then created /etc/portage/env/app-emulation/vmware-modules, and put in it: CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=corei7-avx -mtune=corei7-avx" My /etc/portage/make.conf CFLAGS (probably overkill, just haven't cleaned it up yet): CFLAGS="-Os -pipe -march=corei7-avx -mcx16 -msahf -mno-movbe -maes -mpclmul -mpopcnt -mno-abm -mno-lwp -mno-fma -mno-fma4 -mno-xop -mno-bmi -mno-tbm -mavx -msse4.2 -msse4.1 --param l1-cache-size=32 --param l1-cache-line-size=64 --param l2-cache-size=6144 -mtune=corei7-avx -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer"
I can confirm. changing CFLAGS does the trick. for me success with CFLAGS="-march=core-avx-i -O2 -pipe" and failed with -march=native
The error: vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c:2851:4: error: too many arguments to function 'smp_call_function' happens for me with any of the following in CFLAGS: -mpclmul or -maes or -mavx If I drop them then I can compile all modules.

Not sure if this is still really needed but it should not hurt.
