Not sure if anyone is quite as keen on me as bleeding edge upgrades but
with kernel 5.6 final just out there are some tricky userspace day 1
fixes to negotiate for some common hypervisor platforms.
vmware can be taken care of with as per usual:
# https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules
git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
cd vmware-host-modules
make && sudo make install
sudo systemctl restart vmware*
virtualbox is a bit more tricky (presumes official Oracle packages):
# https://gist.github.com/thabiger/dd19e01c9031c785ba141bba43fb2150
wget
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/thabiger/dd19e01c9031c785ba141bba43fb2150/raw/79b26e07dd5c0aebccebd7ca442ec043eb5b30ca/vbox_6.1.4_for_5.6_kernel.patch
cd /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/vboxdrv
patch -p1 < /path/to/vbox_6.1.4_for_5.6_kernel.patch
sudo systemctl restart vboxdrv.service
And done. This song and dance happens every major kernel revision and
nobody wants to sit around waiting for vmware/vbox to get with the
program...
Hopefully that might help out any early adopters (arch probably already
has these fixes in the AUR as per usual).
