Bug#579721: Fix for VMHGFS Symbols

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 08:15:19 -0700 

Symbol errors are resolved by injecting the VMCI symvers into the later 
dependent directories.

Change the root Makefile from:
build:
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmblock
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmci
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmhgfs
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmsync
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmxnet
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vsock

To:
build:
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmblock
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmci
        cp -f modules/linux/vmci/Module.symvers modules/linux/vmhgfs
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmhgfs
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmsync
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vmxnet
        cp -f modules/linux/vmci/Module.symvers modules/linux/vsock
        $(MAKE) OVT_SOURCE_DIR=$(OVT_SOURCE_DIR) -C modules/linux/vsock

(notice the cp lines)


After this change is applied a build with module-assistant provides a vmhgfs 
that works:
vmsync                  3964  0
vmhgfs                 48320  0
vmci                   39948  1 vmhgfs
vmxnet                 15780  0
