This repository tracks patches needed to build VMware (Player and Workstation) host modules against recent kernels. As it focuses on recent kernels (older ones do not need patching), only vmmon and vmnet modules are currently handled as the rest has been upstreamed for some time. Main branch master handles only "infrastructure" files which do not belong to VMware module sources. Two other branches, "player" and "workstation" track upstream module sources distributed with Player and Workstation, respectively. Tags of the form "p${version}" (e.g. "p12.5.5") and "w${version}" correspond to clean unpacked sources of modules from a particular version of Player or Workstation. From these tags, branches "player-${version}" and "workstation-${version}" are forked. These branches track changes needed to build these modules against recent kernel versions. Tag "p${ver}-k${ver}" marks the set of changes needed to build modules from Player ${ver} against kernel ${ver}, e.g. p12.5.5-k4.11 is for Player 12.5.5 and kernel 4.11; similar naming scheme "w${ver}-k${kver}" is used for Workstation modules. In general, later points in the branch should also work with older kernels (e.g. p12.5.5-k4.11 with kernel 4.10) but it's not completely reliable. This repository is provided "as is" with no guarantees. Use the contents on your own risk.
