Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] x86/vmware: Add a header file for hypercall definitions
Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 10:03:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190828080353.12658-3-thomas_os@shipmail.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190828080353.12658-1-thomas_os@shipmail.org>
From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@vmware.com>
The new header is intended to be used by drivers using the backdoor.
Follow the KVM example using alternatives self-patching to
choose between vmcall, vmmcall and io instructions.
Also define two new CPU feature flags to indicate hypervisor support
for vmcall- and vmmcall instructions. The new XF86_FEATURE_VMW_VMMCALL
flag is needed because using XF86_FEATURE_VMMCALL might break QEMU/KVM
setups using the vmmouse driver. They rely on XF86_FEATURE_VMMCALL
on AMD to get the kvm_hypercall() right. But they do not yet implement
vmmcall for the VMware hypercall used by the vmmouse driver.
