Created attachment 288173 [details] 238-gcc-4.5.3.patch I have moved the initialisation of the "file_operations" structure to the static initialiser. It compiles fine now, however I don't have a test machine and can not verify if it's really working.
FYI, the vmware overlay has app-emulation/vmware-modules-238.5 where the problem is fixed.
Created attachment 290023 [details] the diff file between 238.4 and 238.5 ok, my patch is wrong, don't use it. Sadly, version 4.0 has the same problem, so I have created a diff file between 238.4 and 238.5. It should give a clue how to fix it in the latest version.
Sorry, it could be the compatibility problem with kernel 3.0.1 instead, similar with the bug #386721. My first patch looks the same too.
*** Bug 390077 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've created patches for vmware-modules-264.1, similar to patch used for open-vm-tools-kmod in bug 386721. With these 3 patches I've successfully build vmware-modules-264.1 and run vmware-workstation-8.0.1.528992-r1 with kernel 3.0.4-hardened-r5. Probably these 3 patches should be joined in one.
Created attachment 295017 [details, diff] make vmci-only/linux/driver.c compatible with kernel 3.0.4
Created attachment 295019 [details, diff] make vmmon-only/linux/driver.c compatible with kernel 3.0.4
Created attachment 295021 [details, diff] make vmnet-only/driver.c compatible with kernel 3.0.4
Created attachment 301473 [details, diff] fix compile errors with 3.2.2-hardened-r1 I've found this patch on http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/2012/01/26/vmware-workstation-8-0-2-player-4-0-2-fix-for-linux-kernel-3-2-and-3-3/ and it fixes compile issue with 3.2 kernels.
I've added patched ebuild for app-emulation/vmware-modules-264.1 to my overlay 'powerman' - until these patches will be added to 'vmware' overlay or main portage.
I'm closing this bug because the problem is solved in the latest 264.4 version. vmware@gentoo: your idleness worked out just fine.
The same bug hits me with x86_64 3.4.2-hardened-r1 kernel and vmware-modules-264.4.

(In reply to comment #13) > The same bug hits me with x86_64 3.4.2-hardened-r1 kernel and > vmware-modules-264.4. with USE=pax_kernel?
don't using pax in kernel and use flag pax-kernel was set off with USE="pax-kernel" it works.
now i can crash my machine with starting a vm.
(In reply to comment #16) > now i can crash my machine with starting a vm. That is the dead end, a long term and very annoying bug #382793
