Update to Kernel 3.10.0-514 has broken file sharing

I just updated to Centos vmlinux-3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64

    which is guest in Windows 8.1 using Vmware Workstation Pro 12.5.1

It broke all my shared folders and all efforts to get it going again have failed

including: 1) reinstall open-vm-tools-10..0.5-2.el7.ex86_64

               2) manual start of vm-tools services as suggested in release notes

                   for Workstation 12.5.1 for Ubuntu 16.1

               3) erase open-vm-tools and install VMware Tools from tar (10.0.1.4301679).

                   This fails because gcc supplied with new kernel reports errors in

                   code related to file sharing.

Any ideas on how I can get file sharing working again?
