[Xen-devel] [RFC PATCH 00/10] Xen VMware tools support

[Don Slutz <dslutz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Don Slutz <dslutz@xxxxxxxxxxx>

See

http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1009458

for info on detecting VMware.

Linux does not follow this exactly.  It checks for CPUID 1st.  If
that fails, it checks for SMBIOS containing "VMware" (not VMware- or
VMW).

So this patch set provides:

        SMBIOS -- Add string VMware-
        CPUID -- Add VMware's CPUID (Note: currently HyperV (viridian support) 
breaks this check.)
        Add the magic VMware port
            Allow VMware tools poweroff and reboot
            Enable access to VMware's guest info
            Provide the VMware tools build number

Don Slutz (10):
  smbios: Add "plus VMware-Tools" to HVM_XS_SYSTEM_PRODUCT_NAME.
  Add VMware HVM params
  Add cpuid_vmware_leaves
  tools: Add support for new HVM params
  vmport: Add VMware provided include files.
  Add vmport structs
  Add new vmport code.
  connect vmport up
  libxl: Add VTPOWER, VTREBOOT and VTPING
  Add VMware guest info access
