VM报错Before you can run VMware several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel

Ubuntu 20.04下启动虚拟机VMware时，报错：Before you can run VMware several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel. 按提示点击install无法解决。

git clone https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules
cd vmware-host-modules
git checkout workstation-16.1.2 #这里16.1.2替换为你的VM版本

这里如果直接执行sudo make & sudo make install汇报以下错误：

   67 |    ASSERT_ON_COMPILE(sizeof(Selector) == 2 &&                                
      |                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   68 |                      ((__builtin_constant_p(expr) && ((expr) >> 16) == 0) || 
      |                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   69 |                       sizeof(expr) <= 2))
      |                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    

编辑vmware-host-modules/vmmon-only/include/vm_asm_x86.h
将第65行附近的以下内容：

#ifndef USE_UBSAN
#define ASSERT_ON_COMPILE_SELECTOR_SIZE(expr)                                
   ASSERT_ON_COMPILE(sizeof(Selector) == 2 &&                                
                     ((__builtin_constant_p(expr) && ((expr) >> 16) == 0) || 
                      sizeof(expr) <= 2))
#else
#define ASSERT_ON_COMPILE_SELECTOR_SIZE(expr)
#endif

修改为（注释其它，只保留#define ASSERT_ON_COMPILE_SELECTOR_SIZE(expr)这一行）：

// #ifndef USE_UBSAN
// #define ASSERT_ON_COMPILE_SELECTOR_SIZE(expr)                                
//    ASSERT_ON_COMPILE(sizeof(Selector) == 2 &&                                
//                      ((__builtin_constant_p(expr) && ((expr) >> 16) == 0) || 
//                       sizeof(expr) <= 2))
// #else
#define ASSERT_ON_COMPILE_SELECTOR_SIZE(expr)
// #endif

然后再执行：

sudo make
sudo make install

最后，便可成功启动VM.
