This is a small part of the changes needed to allow running Linux and windows (and others) guests that were built on VMware and run run them unchanged on Xen. This small part is the start of Xen support of VMware backdoor I/O port which is how VMware tools (a standard addition installed on a guest) communicates to the hypervisor. I picked this subset to start with because it only has changes in Xen. Some of this code is already in QEMU and so KVM has some of this already. QEMU supported backdoor commands include VMware mouse support. A later patch set exists that links these changes, new code and Xen changes to QEMU to provide VMware mouse support under Xen. The important part is that VMware mouse is an absolute position mouse and so network delays do not effect usage of the virtual mouse. For example from the guest: [root@C63-min-tools ~]# vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.joejoel" No value found [root@C63-min-tools ~]# vmtoolsd --cmd "info-set guestinfo.joejoel short" [root@C63-min-tools ~]# vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.joejoel" short [root@C63-min-tools ~]# vmtoolsd --cmd "info-set guestinfo.joejoel long222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000joel" [root@C63-min-tools ~]# vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.key1" data1 [root@C63-min-tools ~]# vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.key2" No value found [root@C63-min-tools ~]# vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.key2" data2 [root@C63-min-tools ~]# Most of this code has been reverse engineered by looking at source code for Linux and open VMware tools. http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net changes RFC to v2: Jan Beulich: Add xen/arch/x86/hvm/vmware.c for cpuid_vmware_leaves Fewer patches Andrew Cooper: use the proper constant for apic_khz Follow 839b966e3f587bbb1a0d954230fb3904330dccb6 style changes. Changed HVM_PARAM_VMWARE_HW to write once (make is_vmware_domain() more static). Dropped vmport status stuff. Added checks for xzalloc() having failed. You should include backdoor_def.h ... Every thing I tried did not work better. So I did not change VMPORT_PORT and BDOOR_PORT being the same value. I did not try and adjust VMware's include file backdoor_def.h to working in other xen source files. Switching to s_time_t is not valid. get_sec() is defined: unsigned long get_sec(void); and so my uses of it should be using unsigned long. However since that is not a fixed width type, I used the uint64_t data type which is almost the same, but does allow the 32 bit build of libxc, libxl to do the correct thing. Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk: Please don't include the address. It should be, etc about the Vmware provided include files. I went with no changes to these files. Even if the files should be changed to match xen coding style, etc I still feel that the original ones should be added via a patch, and then adjusted in a 2nd patch. Can you use XenBus? I would say no. XenBus (and XenStore) is about domain to domain communication. This is about VMware's hyper-call and providing access to VMware's guest info very low speed access. Olaf Hering: Dropped changing of bios-strings. Still needs some documentation about this may be needed to do in a tool stack or set of commands. Boris Ostrovsky: Use svm_nextrip_insn_length() Looks like __get_instruction_length() does this, so switched to __get_instruction_length(). RFC: 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 (3): Add vmware_hw to xl.cfg vmport: Add VMware provided include files.
