I only tried those versions: - sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.8.0 with CONFIG_USER_NS=y - app-emulation/vmware-modules-271.2 (latest in Portage) vmware-modules fails to compile: [...] error: incompatible types when assigning to type 'kgid_t' from type 'int' Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 342888 [details, diff] vmblock, vmci and vsock patch for USER_NS Basic patch to get vmware-modules to compile. It works for me just like it worked without USER_NS. I did not try running vmware from inside a user namespace.
patch seems to work with sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.9.0 too
Same error with kernel 3.10. Add the patch to portage please?
A 271-3.10.0.patch has been added to the vmware-modules ebuild. And this issue still exists? What is going on?

271-userns.patch regardless of whether CONFIG_USER_NS setting is enabled or not in sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.10.0 (attached is my kernel configuration for further details). I have to compile vmware-modules with and without setting CONFIG_USER_NS while CONFIG_NAMESPACES has been always set. Attached is also an ebuilld that applies this patch. BR Pali
Created attachment 360218 [details] Kernel configuration for sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.10.7
Created attachment 360220 [details] app-emulation/vmware-modules-271.2-r1 ebuild that applies 271-userns.patch for gentoo-sources 3.8.0 and above
patch and ebuild works fine for me
I think it's worth noting that vmware-modules-279.1.ebuild invokes epatch_user, so /etc/portage/patches is sufficient for applying this patch (which I have verified locally).
I have successfully compiled a vmware-modules with this patch (with NFIG_USER_NS=y and gentoo-sources-3.10.25). Please add it to the portage tree.
Vmblock driver is not working properly. Filesystem in the guest constantly crashing.

Hey Harris, forgive me for this question, but how apply this patches? Can you teach us? Regards
Created attachment 375996 [details, diff] vmware-3.11.patch
Created attachment 375998 [details, diff] 279-312.patch
create /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules/ in that directory put the following 4 patches: vmware-3.11.patch 279-312.patch inode_patch.patch 279-getname.patch I uploaded all 4 patches to this bug. Then just emerge vmware-modules and you should be good.
Hi, this 4 patches should work using vmware-modules-279.2 against kernel 3.13.11? Because, now I see a new error: Regards

I am using gentoo-sources-3.14.2 and using vmci and vsock from the kernel with -vmci and -vsock use flags If you are going to use vmci from ebuild must need another patch
Using vmsi and vmsock from kernel worked. Thank you.
Same issue, with USE="-vmci -vsock", kernel 3.15.6 and vmware-modules-279.2, patches 279-312.patch and vmware-3.11.patch would not apply cleanly, but with only the inode patch and vmblock-modprobe patch I ran into #507664. Removing patches from here and using 4 patches from #507664 as described there resulted in clean build and install.

Created attachment 384722 [details] Patches to compile on 3.14.0 These patches allow a clean and working build on kernel 3.14.0. Later versions are unconfirmed.
I am on 3.14.14, I tried the patches from Harris Landgarten but got some errors compiling vmware-modules. I wiped the patches from the /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules and only used the patches supplied in the zipfile in T-Dawgs post "Patches to compile on 3.14.0" This allowed vmware-modules to patch fully with the 2 files in that zip file. I do not use kernel enabled features.
*** Bug 525158 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Please try the official vmware overlay. I've checked in updated ebuilds and patches which should apply and build cleanly for 3.10 - 3.17 kernels. And am working with the ebuild maintainer to get them into the mainline once they have been tested enough. (Also, remember to remove any user patches you have in /etc/portage/patches since the ebuild is intended to compile cleanly as is).

Thanks Nathan & Harris Landgarten, I have successfully compiled with your hint. These are the steps: 1) create the directory: /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3 2) download in it the patches supplied in the zipfile kernel_3.14.0_patches.tar.gz (in T-Dawgs post "Patches to compile on 3.14.0") 3) unzip the tar and move the files: fix_kuid_t.patch fix_unknown_symbol_getname.patch into the directory created at step 1. 4) emerge -uav app-emulation/vmware-modules and enjoy your compiling.

Thank you, Harris. I found some issues related to 279.3-r1. 1. It's fragile to customized CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS. (At least for x86/amd64 arches.) Flags are known that it won't compile, any of: "-msse -msse2 -msse3 -mssse3 -msse4.1 -msse4.2 -mf16c -mpclmul". Flags are known that it will compile, all of: "-O2 -pipe -g0 -mmmx -msse2avx -mrdrnd -mfsgsbase -mfpmath=sse". Tested with "-march=corei7". In case of bad flags are used, the error is "/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:1252:4: error: too many arguments to function ‘smp_call_function’". There is a kind of a patch to fix it here: https://github.com/zlbruce/overlay/blob/master/app-emulation/vmware-modules/files/279-smp_call_3arg.patch . It looks like a workaround, because the original code has vmmon-only/autoconf/smpcall.c [for checking the number of ‘smp_call_function’ arguments] which is called from vmmon-only/Makefile.kernel or Makefile.normal but for some reasons it is not working properly (at least for some C*FLAGS, as is mentioned above, what is also strange...) Anyway... could you add this patch? > The only problems are with the udev rules created. mode=660 needs to be > mode="660" or systemd reports the rules invalid. 2. I don't use systemd... In openrc, vmware's (player) start script believes that the name of VMCI module is only could be 'vmci', while for a kernel version it is 'vmw_vmci'. Could you add the next code to "src_install()": use vmci || ( dodir "/etc/modprobe.d/" && echo "alias vmci vmw_vmci" > "${D}/etc/modprobe.d/vmci.conf" ) (Maybe needed some adjustment for systemd. Like "use vmci || use systemd || (...") I use vanilla-sources-3.17*, vmware-player and openrc.

Interestingly this patch is not needed on x86_64 but on i686 it is necessary. gcc (4.8.3) does not like the int assignment to kgid_t on 32 bit. This has nothing to do with USER_NS so I would suggest to add the patch and apply it for i686 systems.

I can confirm that at least the -msse4.1 CFLAGS causes the problem: "/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:1252:4: error: too many arguments to function ‘smp_call_function’". From what I found out, the flag -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 gets defined somewhere (I'm not sure where), which causes: /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-304.0/work/vmmon-only/./autoconf/smpcall.c:1:0: error: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 is not between 4 and 12 , which in turn prevents the makefile from adding -DVMW_HAVE_SMP_CALL_3ARG, which cause the previously mentionned failure with recent kernels. Instead of the patch mentionned, a better workaround would be to have the ebuild filter the flags mentionned in comment 41.
I just stumbled upon this error and as it happened only on one of two machines with otherwise identical versions I investigated a bit. For kernels up to 3.12 (maybe 3.13 as well but I haven't checked) the problem is triggered by the kernel config option CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS which changes the definition of kgid_t from bare int to a struct. So the easiest fix would be to disable this option and vmblock will compile as expected. For kernels 3.14 and up this option is not present anymore and kgid_t has a fixed struct definition. So to patch it for all these kernel versions the assignment should depend on the config option like this: #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(3, 14, 0) inode->i_uid.val = inode->i_gid.val = 0; #else #ifdef CONFIG_UIDGID_STRICT_TYPE_CHECKS inode->i_uid.val = inode->i_gid.val = 0; #else inode->i_uid = inode->i_gid = 0; #endif #endif Better solutions are welcome.
Created attachment 403018 [details] vmware-modules ebuild 279.3-r3 & patch for 3.19/4.0 The patch for kernel 3.19+/4.0+ + ebuild. Fixes namei & iter issues. (Taken here: https://github.com/mrpdaemon/mrpdaemon-gentoo-config/tree/master/hosts/soothsayer/patches/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3)
@Alex: You Rock ! Your attach is fine for me. After 4-5 days of struggling with it I have compiled and installed vmware-modules, maybe it's not that clean but at least it works. Here are my steps: - bunzipped your latest attach into /usr/local/portage/app-emulation (my local portage) - recompiled my kernel with VMCI and VSOCKETS enabled. I have never done that before but with this hack this is necessary - after the reboot I have installed vmware-modules with USE="-vmci -vsock" flag sets (USE="-vmci -vsock" emerge vmware-modules) because now these are provided by the kernel itself. I personally don't like this solution that much but I'm fine with it, this is my primary working workstation so I really need to have vmware up and running Kernel 4.x for me on AMD64 i7 machine. ~# uname -a Linux ben 4.0.5-gentoo #8 SMP Mon Jul 6 00:11:51 CEST 2015 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux If someone of the devs want to have a look at my config or want to suggest something to try I can do some tests if you're interested. This bug is quite old and probably everyone with a desktop machine and vmware is locked without vmware-modules. Just drop me a note Ben
The latest official vmware overlay has had the version bumped. I have built the sources for vmware-modules-{271,279,304} on stock kernels 3.10 - 4.0, and associated vmware-workstation-{9,10,11} ebuilds. Please give those a try and let me know if you have any issues. Thanks
Using kernel-4.1.2 I replaced the versions in my personal overlay with the ones in vmware-overlay with no issues. I am still using kernel based vmci and vsock.
I have tried with vmci and vmsock but both fail on vmblock. Here is the bottom half of the build file showing the errors. /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work/vmblock-only/linux/filesystem.c:325:21: warning: unused variable 'actualNd' [-Wunused-variable] /usr/src/linux-4.0.5-gentoo/scripts/Makefile.build:258: recipe for target '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work/vmblock-only/linux/file.o' failed make[3]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work/vmblock-only/linux/file.o] Error 1 /usr/src/linux-4.0.5-gentoo/scripts/Makefile.build:258: recipe for target '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work/vmblock-only/linux/filesystem.o' failed make[3]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work/vmblock-only/linux/filesystem.o] Error 1 /usr/src/linux-4.0.5-gentoo/Makefile:1390: recipe for target '_module_/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work/vmblock-only' failed make[2]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work/vmblock-only] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-4.0.5-gentoo' Makefile:145: recipe for target 'sub-make' failed make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-4.0.5-gentoo' Makefile:130: recipe for target 'vmblock.ko' failed make: *** [vmblock.ko] Error 2 * ERROR: app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3::gentoo failed (compile phase): * emake failed * * If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3::gentoo'`, * the complete build log and the output of `emerge -pqv '=app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3::gentoo'`. * The complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/temp/environment'. * Working directory: '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work/vmblock-only' * S: '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work' * !!!

I need to clear up my comment ... I tried with and without kernel vmci and vsock. looks like the patch is applying but for some reason in all the times I have had to fight this vmblock always has issues.

@nathan, are you using the official overlay? The version in portage is not (and has not been) in a working state for quite a while. But there has been a lot of activity in the overlay to ensure that it works for vmware 9,10,11 for kernels 3.19 - 4.0. If you aren't, please use the overlay, it should work. If you are using the overlay, please be sure to NOT use any extra patches. They should not be necessary at all. The overlay should "just work". Let me know, and we'll go from there :-).
I have been using the patches from here. Not sure how to 'use the overlay' you mention, but ill give it a try if I can have some instructions or a link to some. I did find that certain patches are not applying...I think the dentry patch is not applying plus others. ---------------------------------------------------- >>> Unpacking source... >>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work >>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-279.3/work ...

I have been using Comment 38's process.
It's pretty simple if you use layman emerge layman emerge -a vmware Remove all the 3rd party patches from the /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/... Then you just emerge as usual.
Bah, it's: layman -a vmware NOT emerge -a vmware

Looks like it's still using the in tree version, please make sure you have also unmasked the versions in the overlay. Sopmething like this will probably work: /etc/portage/package.keywords =app-emulation/vmware-workstation-10* ~amd64 =app-emulation/vmware-modules-279* ~amd64
keywords existed. Had to add this to make.conf to get portage to use the overlay. source /var/lib/layman/make.conf Once I did that it wanted to pull in version 11 of workstation, so I did emerge =app-emulation/vmware-workstation-10.0.6.2700073 this pulled in vmware-modules-279.6 and it installed all the way through correctly. Thanks. using the layman overlay was much easier and looks like it will be maintained for next time. :) so, here is all the steps I took rm -rf /etc/portage/patch/app-emulation emerge layman layman -L layman -a vmware echo "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" emerge =app-emulation/vmware-workstation-10.0.6.2700073
If it was trying to pull in workstation 11, then you're keywords are probably a bit too generous. Either way, glad that you got it working.
I'm currently using a portage overlay ("vmware") for vmware-modules but I'm a little bit scared for my next emerge rsync because after reading some activity on these bugs I don't have a clear picture of what is happening with this package. What are the specs for having vmware-modules working with the latest 4.x kernel ? Are VMCI and VSOCK required on the kernel for it ? What about the USE flag ? are "-vmci -vsock" required ? Can someone please recap the current state ? Thanks Ben
the versions in the overlay work fine with 4.1 without any patches. There will need to be a patch for 4.2 when it is released and I will post one when I get it working. From what I have seen there are solutions to the 4.2 issues on the net. As far as vsock and vmci I alway use the versions in the kernel. Why would you not. The kernel maintainers make sure they work.
@Andrea, Kernels 3.19 - 4.0 are fully supported. 4.1 will work if you use the in kernel vmci/vsock and 'USE="-vmci -vsock"' @Harris, I agree that it's more ideal to use in kernel modules, since they keep they nice and up to date. But some people choose not to. So it is worth noting that the vmware provided vmci and vsock modules do not compile on kernels >= 4.1. I do not predict many issues with patching to get 4.1,4.2 working correctly, it just has not been a prority since 4.0.x is the latest stable in the portage.
