As discussed in https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059674 the reason for multiple objtool warnings is the fact that vmmon module defines its own Panic() function which never returns. While it is marked as such which is used by the compiler for optimization, there is no way to find this from object file. While this seems innocuous, it might result in problems with unwinder later. The quickest way around is to replace vmmon's own Panic() with standard kernel panic() until a cleaner solution is found.
This files in this directory and its subdirectories are the kernel module portion of the VMware Virtual Machine Monitor. In order to build, make certain the Makefile is correct, especially in whether or not your system is multi-processor and then just type make from this directory. A copy of the module will be left in driver-<kernel version>/vmmon.o (e.g. driver-up-2.0.32/vmmon.o). If you have any problems or questions, send mail to support@vmware.com
