[Xen-devel] [PATCH v9 05/13] xen: Add vmware_port support



This includes adding is_vmware_port_enabled

This is a new domain_create() flag, DOMCRF_vmware_port.  It is
passed to domctl as XEN_DOMCTL_CDF_vmware_port.

This enables limited support of VMware's hyper-call.

This is both a more complete support then in currently provided by
QEMU and/or KVM and less.  The missing part requires QEMU changes
and has been left out until the QEMU patches are accepted upstream.

VMware's hyper-call is also known as VMware Backdoor I/O Port.

Note: this support does not depend on vmware_hw being non-zero.

Summary is that VMware treats "in (%dx),%eax" (or "out %eax,(%dx)")
to port 0x5658 specially.  Note: since many operations return data
in EAX, "in (%dx),%eax" is the one to use.  The other lengths like
"in (%dx),%al" will still do things, only AL part of EAX will be
changed.  For "out %eax,(%dx)" of all lengths, EAX will remain
unchanged.

An open source example of using this is:

http://open-vm-tools.sourceforge.net/

Which only uses "inl (%dx)".  Also

v9:
  Switch to x86_emulator to handle #GP code moved to next patch.
    Can you explain why a HVM param isn't suitable here?
      Issue with changing QEMU on the fly.
      Andrew Cooper: My recommendation is still to use a creation flag
        So no change.
    Please move SVM's identical definition into ...
      Did this as #1.  No longer needed, but since the patch was ready
      I have included it.
    --Lots of questions about code that no long is part of this patch. --
    With this, is handling other than 32-bit in/out really
    meaningful/correct?
      Added comment about this.
    Since you can't get here for PV, I can't see what you need this.
      Changed to an ASSERT.
    Why version 4?
      Added comment about this.
    -- Several questions about register changes.
      Re-coded to use new_eax and set *val to this.
      Change to generealy use reg->_e..
    These ei1/ei2 checks belong in the callers imo -
      Moved.
    the "port" function parameter isn't even checked
      Add check for exact match.
    If dropping the code is safe without also forbidding the
    combination of nested and VMware emulation.
      Added the forbidding the combination of nested and VMware.
      Mostly do to the cases of the nested virtual code is the one
      to handle VMware stuff if needed, not the root one.  Also I am
      having issues testing xen nested in xen and using hvm.

v7:
      More on AMD in the commit message.
      Switch to only change 32bit part of registers, what VMware
        does.
    Too much logging and tracing.
      Dropped a lot of it.  This includes vmport_debug=

v6:
      Dropped the attempt to use svm_nextrip_insn_length via
      __get_instruction_length (added in v2).  Just always look
      at upto 15 bytes on AMD.

v5:
      we should make sure that svm_vmexit_gp_intercept is not executed for
      any other guest.
        Added an ASSERT on is_vmware_port_enabled.
      magic integers?
        Added #define for them.
      I am fairly certain that you need some brackets here.
        Added brackets.
