[Qemu-devel] [RESEND PATCH v3 1/5] Add OUT support to vmport.

[Qemu-devel] [RESEND PATCH v3 1/5] Add OUT support to vmport.

[Gleb Natapov]

VMWare backdoor interface should work with IN/OUT port ops, but
currently only IN is supported. BACHS bios uses OUT to query UUID.
The patch adds OUT support.

I don't like this vmport "backdoor" and I would like to disable it by
default, so I consider it is not the solution to pass the UUID
information to the BIOS.

BTW, what is the use of this UUID ?

Do you have other interface in mind for host/guest communication?
VMware uses the I/O port backdoor interface. Microsoft Virtual PC
uses "Invalid Opcode" mechanism as a backdoor.
We need this interface for other things too. For instance there are OEM
Windows versions that require specific vendor's ACPI table to be present
for installation. I have a patch that pass additional ACPI tables to BIOS
using backdoor interface since it's not practical to compile different
BIOSes for different Windows OEM versions.

It is used for system management to tell two identical computers apart.
Something like MAC but more stable. In Windows WMI can be used to obtain
UUID and we have vendors that use VB scripts to configure machines
differently based on their UUIDs.

Also, if you're porting an exiting Windows VM image from some other VM
system, the existing image will expect certain things which are UUIDs
(BIOS asset tags etc.) to have particular values.  If they are not
present, or the values are different, then the VM image may refuse to
run and ask you to "activate" it with a phone call to Microsoft.

I don't like this, but being able to port existing images makes a
difference when considering whether to use a Linux VM host or a
Windows VM host, to host Windows guests.

(Admittedly some other things also need to be emulated to seamlessly
take a Windows image from MS Virtual PC into QEMU.)

...

On the other hand, VM backdoors are a way in which OSes can refuse to
run if they detect they are in particular VMs, or behave differently.
This could be ugly: imagine an OS which runs fine in VMware and MS
Virtual PC, but refuses to run in QEMU/KVM _only_ because it detects
what it's running in, and not for technical reasons.

So it's important than VM backdoors are emulated as carefully as other
hardware, and don't expose too much real information about the host,
just the minimum required and under user control.

I get about 70 of these messages daily.  I have unsubscribed but I 
continue to get these.  It is the same message sent at the same time.  I 
use thunderbird on linux ( which has goodly msg filters).  Does anybody 
know how to stop getting this message?  I've gotten these for over a 
month ( maybe 6 months).

There was no additional comments last time I sent this patch series and
it was not yet committed to the SVN. Resend it for review/inclusion.

 This is updated version of the patch series. The patch #5 checks libuuid
availability and uses it for UUID generation if present, but it is
optional so if people think that libvirt is a better place for UUID generation
just don't apply the last patch.
