ArchWiki provides a nice help for the just-defined "stable" kernel:

3.10 kernels

The call create_proc_entry() has been dropped from 3.10 in favor of proc_create(). This requires patching of the vmblock and vmnet modules that use them.

The patches (including the optional fuse patch) can be found here and here:

$ cd /tmp
$ curl -O http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
$ curl -O http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git/plain/vmware-patch/vmnet-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
$ cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
# tar -xvf vmblock.tar
# tar -xvf vmnet.tar
# patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmblock-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
# patch -p0 -i /tmp/vmnet-9.0.2-5.0.2-3.10.patch
# tar -cf vmblock.tar vmblock-only
# tar -cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only
# rm -r vmblock-only
# rm -r vmnet-only
# vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 Harris Landgarten 2013-08-11 17:31:04 UTC
save the patch I posted as:

/etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules/271-procfs.patch

It somewhat is bugzilla but I could find the reference so I posted it again.

I think a update with this patch is on the way.

This was added to the tree two days ago.
