Merge ~paelzer/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools:merge-bionic-10.3 into ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools:ubuntu/cosmic-devel

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

[Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer)]

See [1] for it's "sibling" :-)
This essentially is equal to the recent Cosmic merge and upload which was package reviewed in [1] and tested/verified by VMWare per the discussions and agreements since last cycle (they own the test matrix of hipervisor versions and are more authorative than us to call it good or not).

We recently had a discussion on package versions for such backports, now this is even more special.
It already has the "ubuntu" string in the version, so I did not add another "ubuntu" after the "~", but please double check if you think this is the right version string for it.

The SRU Bug itself will be bug 1784638 (I'll add htre SRU Template then).
This follows the precedence of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1741390
and goes under the special SRU exception for supporting new (virtual) HW.

This is again (like DPDK merge two days ago) a minimal Delta on top of Cosmic, but for Bionic eventually it will be more Delta (as seen and reviewed by the SRU Team then).

Setting target to cosmic to see the actual new changes I did for this (as we do with our debian/sid merge proposals).

FYI: For more fun 10.3 just migrated minutes ago in Cosmic and formerly Cosmic==Bionic, so the Diff here is shown:
- against what is in Bionic this morning
- against what is in Cosmic later on today :-)
As discussed yesterday - for any non super-common case we want to look at the git branch instead of LP diff anyway :-/

[1]: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1784638

[Robie Basak (racb)]

The diff between this proposed branch and pkg/ubuntu/devel is exactly this:

-open-vm-tools (2:10.3.0-0ubuntu1) cosmic; urgency=medium
+open-vm-tools (2:10.3.0-0ubuntu1~18.04.1) bionic; urgency=medium

So therefore it is exactly equivalent to a no-change backport from Cosmic. Your branch history agrees - it is one commit on top of your previous upload tag to change the changelog.

What confused me is that this isn't adding a new changelog entry on top of the one in Cosmic saying something like "Backport to Bionic", rather than a modification of the existing changelog entry. I would do it with a new entry (since you're taking Cosmic and doing what is effectively a no change rebuild to Bionic) but we don't have consensus on the right way to approach this so I should not block the upload on that.

The version string is fine.

SRU documentation in the bug is done and looks reasonable given this is a platform enablement feature release bump.

review: Approve

-# open-vm-tools 10.2.0 Release Notes
-
-Updated on 14 Dec 2017
-##What's in the Release Notes
-The release notes cover the following topics: 
-
-- What's New
-- Internationalization
-- Compatibility
-- Installation and Upgrades for This Release
-- Known Issues
-
-## What's New
-
-- **FreeBSD support**: freebsd.iso is not available for VMware Tools 10.2.0 and later as it has been discontinued in favor of open-vm-tools. For more information, see Compatibility Notes section of this release notes.
-
-## Internationalization 
-open-vm-tools 10.2.0 supports the following languages:
-
-- English 
-- French 
-- German 
-- Spanish 
-- Italian 
-- Japanese 
-- Korean 
-- Simplified Chinese 
-- Traditional Chinese
-
-## Compatibility 
-- open-vm-tools 10.2.0 is compatible with all supported versions of VMware vSphere ESXi 5.5 and later, VMware Workstation 14.0 and VMware Fusion 10.0. See VMware Compatibility Guide for more information.
-- Starting with VMware Tools version 10.2.0, Perl script based VMware Tools installation for FreeBSD has been discontinued. Going forward, FreeBSD systems are supported only through the open-vm-tools packages directly available from FreeBSD package repositories. FreeBSD packages for open-vm-tools 10.1.0 and later are available from FreeBSD package repositories.
-
-## Installation and Upgrades for This Release 
-The steps to install open-vm-tools vary depending on your VMware product and the guest operating system you have installed. For general steps to install open-vm-tools in most VMware products, see https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/blob/master/README.md
-
-## Resolved Issues 
-
-* **Summary page of the VM does not list the IP address of the VMs in the right order**
-
-    The configuration option to exclude network interfaces from GuestInfo and set primary and low priority network interfaces is added to the tools.conf configuration file.
-This issue is resolved in this release.
-
-* **Guest authentication fails with a SystemError fault when the requested password is expired**
-
-    Attempting to authenticate with an expired password, for example when attempting Guest Operations, fails with a SystemError fault.
-This issue is resolved in this release. Authentication with an expired password now fails with an InvalidGuestLogin fault in order to provide a more precise error code for such a case.
-
-* **The free space reported in vim.vm.GuestInfo.DiskInfo for a Linux guest does not match with df command in the guest**
-
-    Prior to VMware Tools version 10.2.0, the free space reported in vim.vm.GuestInfo.DiskInfo for a Linux guest included file system specific reserved blocks. This led to guest file system usage in vSphere clients reporting more free space than what was reported by df command in the guest. This issue has been resolved in this release by not including the file system specific reserved blocks in the free space reported in vim.vm.GuestInfo.DiskInfo for Linux guests by default. The default behavior can be reversed with a configuration in ```/etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf``` file in the Linux guest operating systems:
-```
-    [guestinfo] 
-    diskinfo-include-reserved=true
-```
-
-* **VMware user process might not restart after upgrades of open-vm-tools**
-
-    When the VMware user process receives a SIGUSR2, it restarts itself by executing vmware-user and terminates itself. This is used on upgrades to ensure that the latest version of vmtoolsd is running. vmware-user was not available in open-vm-tools..
-This issue is fixed in this release.
-
-## Known Issues
-
-* **Shared folder shows empty on Ubuntu 17.04 with open-vm-tools**.
-    On rebooting Ubuntu 17.04 with open-vm-tools installed, the shared folders /mnt directory is empty. This issue is observed even after installing Ubuntu 17.04 using easy install, enabling shared folders in VM settings and selecting Always Enabled.
-Workaround: Disable Shared Folders in the interface and enable after the VM is powered on with VMware Tools running.

+
+### Guest Operating System Customization Support
+
+The [Guest OS Customization Support Matrix](http://partnerweb.vmware.com/programs/guestOS/guest-os-customization-matrix.pdf) provides details about the guest operating systems supported for customization.
+
+
+Resolved Issues
+---------------
+
+*   **The open-vm-tools process might take a long time and consume 100% CPU of a core in a Linux OS with many IPv6 routes**
+    
+    Prior to open-vm-tools 10.3.0, gathering network adapter information in a Linux guest OS with many IPv6 routes was a time-consuming process with 100% use of the CPU of a core. The exported data contained only a maximum of 100 routes. IPv4 routes took precedence over IPv6, leading to data loss in reporting IPv6 routes. If there were more than 100 IPv4 routes, IPv6 routes were not reported.
+    
+    This performance issue has been resolved in this release. The default routes gathering behavior can be overridden by configuring the values in the /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf file:  
+      
+    \[guestinfo\]  
+    max-ipv4-routes=0  
+    max-ipv6-routes=0  
+      
+    Note: If they are not manually set, or an invalid value (over 100 or less than 0) is set, 'max-ipv4-routes' and 'max-ipv6-routes' are set to 100 by default. They can be set to 0 to disable the data collection.
+    
+    This issue is resolved in this release.
+    
+*   **Installation of the libvmtools package might fail the installation of VMware Tools**
+    
+    When the package "libvmtools0" is installed in SUSE Linux 12 and open-vm-tools is not installed, the VMware Tools installer fails. This is done to prevent an incomplete installation. Users have to uninstall both open-vm-tools and libvmtools0 packages to install VMware Tools.
+    
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+*   **Drag and Drop  functionality fails to work in Ubuntu**
+    
+    Drag and Drop functionality fails to work in Ubuntu 16.04.4 32-bit virtual machines installed using easy install. Also, failure of copy and paste functionality is observed in the same system.
+    
+    Workaround:
+    
+    *   Add the modprobe.blacklist=vmwgfx linux kernel boot option.
+    *   To gain access to larger resolutions, remove svga.guestBackedPrimaryAware = "TRUE" option from the VMX file.
+
+*   **Shared Folders mount is unavailable on Linux VM**
+    
+    If the **Shared Folders** feature is enabled on a Linux VM while it is powered off, shared folders mount is not available upon restart.
+    
+    Workaround: If the VM is powered on, disable and enable the **Shared Folders** feature from the interface.
+    
+    For resolving the issue permanently, edit **/etc/fstab** and add an entry to mount the Shared Folders automatically on boot.
+    
+    For example, add the line:
+    
+    vmhgfs-fuse   /mnt/hgfs    fuse    defaults,allow_other    0    0

+    [tools-plugin] Potential solution for reported desktopEvent crash
+    
+    On several distros like RHEL, CentOS and Fedora, plugin desktopEvents.so
+    crashes have been reported.  However, neither development or QE can
+    reproduce this issue in local environments.
+    
+    The XFetchName document states that it may generate BadWindow error.  That
+    means that the value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
+    X FAQ also suggests handling badwindow error after finding it.  Since
+    the window does not exist when XFetchName is run on it, the name is not
+    needed.  Suppress this error to avoid a crash.
+    
+    After grabbing the X server, use XSetErrorHandler to temporarily define
+    a local error handler to intercept and cleanly handle any BadWindow
+    errors.  XSetErrorHandler returns the current error handler, so it is
+    straightforward to reinstate GDK's original handler.

+
+    Previous change to configure.ac and vmtools.m4 caused a regression
     
-    Vmware CAF ManagementAgentHost service was polling every 5 secs to check if Guest Network "Tunnel(port 6672)" was enabled to preconfigure & bring up Vmware CAF CommAmqpListener service.
-    This resulted in more CPU Utilization as opposed to previous release in CAF & caused regression in vmtools 10.2.0.
-    We are increasing the Poll rate to 5 mins, which fixed the issue & is giving us the same CPU/memory utilizations as in vmtools 10.1.0.
+    Backing out of 10.3.0.

+    [OVT] Update copyright year to 2018 for few files.
     
-    We were checking for the different stages of listener preconfiguration status from the listenerpreConfigure.txt files in the polling time interval, which caused increased IO operations.
-    To fix that we have stored the value of listener preconfiguration status from the files into a variable locally & using the same at all places instead of file access.
+    Updated the copyright year to 2018 for few files changed in the last
+    few days.

+    Clipboard content on the host gets loaded to tmp on Linux guest with a right click on Guest
     
-     - add calling LoadUserProfile()/UnloadUserProfile() in VGAuth
-       impersonation/unimpersonation code paths
-     - VGAuth part of code change plus tools vix plugin make file.
+    Root Cause:
+    Dndcp plugin creates a sub thread to monitor if there is other application
+    access the specific file.  The root cause for this bug is the main thread
+    doesn't update its field before wakeup the sub thread, this cause the sub
+    thread get a wrong value.
+    
+    Solution:
+    Main thread should update the field before wakeup the sub thread.

+    open-vm-tools: build for FreeBSD fails in fakeMouseWayland
+    
+    Root Cause:
+    In the file fakeMouseWayland.cpp, several Linux related header files
+    are included:
+      <linux/input.h>
+      <linux/ioctl.h>
+      <linux/uinput.h>
     
-    The guestStats in R10 Tools release follow ESXi 6.0 U1 scope.
-    Remove the guestStats that are not in scope for ESXi 6.0 U1.
+    These header files do not exist for FreeBSD and Solaris.
+    
+    Solution:
+    Lib fakeMouse is not needed by FreeBSD and Solaris, so update the makefile
+    to build the fakemouse related code only on Linux.

-    Tools: GuestInfo: ESX: dynamically load libvmkmemstats.so
+    Build open-vm-tools with xmlsec1 by default.
     
-    The new version of the vmware tools will be installed on older version
-    of ESX.  But these older versions do not come with libvmkmemstats.so
-    and a dynamic linking error occurs.
+    Build open-vm-tools with xmlsec1 by default, rather than with
+    xml-security-c as is done currently.  This requires modifications
+    to configure.ac to change the default for use_xmlsec1, plus
+    modifications to bora-vmsoft/install/Source/tools-pkg.make to
+    initialize flags for xmlsec1 and xml2 now needed by the OVT build
+    that is done during tools builds.
     
-    This patch changes the code to deal with the case where the lib is not
-    available.  Instead of relying on the linker to dynamically link with
-    libvmkmemstats.so, g_module_open() is used to open the library, if
-    available, and gracefully handle any eventual errors.
-    Before the patch, the whole libguestinfo would stop working and after
-    the patch only the memory stats are unavailable.
+    Another change that surfaced during this was that the symbol that
+    configure checks for the xmlsec library was wrong.  It should be
+    xmlSecCheckVersionExt rather than xmlSecCheckVersion.  The latter
+    is a header-defined macro but not a library symbol.

-    GuestInfo: add primary-nics and low-priority-nics options
+    [Wayland Copy & Paste] Part1: Add notification mechanism to the VMBlock module
     
-    Add the options 'primary-nics' and 'low-priority-nics' for GuestInfo.
+    This patch is part of the new feature for Workstation 15: [P0] Wayland support
+    in Linux guest - Copy & Paste.
     
-    The options accept a list of comma separated patterns for interface names
-    which can be considered as 'primary' or 'low priority' network interfaces.
-    This will cause the NicInfo to be put on top of the list for primary
-    interfaces, and to the bottom for low priority interfaces.
+    In the implementation of current VMTools, there is a restriction, in the first
+    second after grab into the guest, the CopyPasteUIX11::LocalGetFileRequestCB,
+    which is a callback from a file paste request from another guest application
+    and begins copying the files from host to guest and return the file list,
+    will return none directly.
     
-    Example:
+    The Wayland file explorer will request the content in the clipboard after the
+    user clicks on the file explorer, and the request will get nothing since the
+    restriction in the VMTools, so the following ‘Paste’ operation will fail.
     
-    primary-nics=eth1
+    Solution:
+    This solution is only used for the Linux guest with Wayland. The behavior
+    for Linux guest with X11 will not change.
     
-    will make sure that the IP address(es) for eth1 will be sorted on
-    top of the list of IP addresses.
+    The restriction, the CopyPasteUIX11::LocalGetFileRequestCB returns directly
+    in the first second after grab into the guest, will be removed.
     
-    primary-nics=eth*
+    And, the notification mechanism will be added into the VM block file system.
+    This mechanism is similar with the inotify module.
     
-    will make sure that any one of the addresses of all interfaces
-    matching eth* will be sorted on top of the list of IP addresses,
-    but won't guarantee which one if there is more than one.
+    Take the VMBlock Fuse File System as an example, currently, the mount point contains below contents:
     
-    low-priority-nics=eth*
+    * /blockdir/
     
-    will work analogously, but interfaces will be sorted to the bottom.
+    * /dev
     
-    In case the limit of the number of interfaces to be reported is reached,
-    low priority interfaces are the first to be skipped.
+    /blockdir/ contains the symlinks to the contents of the target directory.
+    
+    /dev is the control file for VMBlock Fuse File System.
+    
+    In this new solution, a new folder /notifydir/ will be added, each file in this folder is a special file, read from this file will be blocked until any other process read from the corresponding file in target directory or the block on the target directory is removed.
+    
+    This patch only focus on the notification mechanism.

+    FreeBSD: clang compiler related changes to configure.ac
+    
+    On FreeBSD, the unwind.h header is available in the libunwind

+    on a system.  The libunwind functions to determine the call-chain in a

+    GCC extensions.  Avoid the unwind.h header if seen on FreeBSD.
+    
+    The "clang" compiler will issue warnings if the address of a member
+    of a packed structure is taken.  Since warnings are errors with -Wall,
+    add --Wno-address-of-packed-member to CFLAGS when compiling with
+    "clang".

-    [Tools] Fix crash issue when stopping vmtoolsd(vmuser)
+    Add two switches for max IPv4/6 routes to gather
     
-    When stopping vmtoolsd, the code tries to unload all plugins.  The
-    signal TOOLS_CORE_SIG_CAPABILITIES is emitted before really starting
-    to unload plugins.  If the plugin should try to call RpcChannel_Send
-    while processing the signal and the RPC channel has been shutdown, an
-    ASSERT is triggered.  The fix is to check whether rpc exists and if
-    unavailable, avoid sending the TOOLS_CORE_SIG_CAPABILITIES signal.
+    Gathering nic info in a Linux guest OS which is configured with large
+    number(60000+) of ipv6 routes could result in vmtoolsd process taking a
+    long time and rock solid 100% CPU of a core.  Though tools only exports
+    at most NICINFO_MAX_ROUTES(100) routes, it tries to read all the contents
+    of /proc/net/ipv6_route which costs too much time because:
+    1. IPv6 route table is not efficient natively compared to ipv4 due to
+       its implementation.
+    2. The g_io library can aggravate the performance.
+    
+    On the other hand, when gathering routes, IPv4 comes first, and IPv6 second.
+    And the routes reported to VMX has an overall limitation of serializing
+    (NICINFO_MAX_ROUTES).  If there's more than NICINFO_MAX_ROUTES IPv4 routes
+    in system, no IPv6 will get reported.
+    
+    Added two switches "max-ipv4-routes" and "max-ipv6-routes"
+    (NICINFO_MAX_ROUTES by default) in tools.conf and let SlashProcNet_GetRoute*()
+    only read the first max ipv4/6 routes lines of /proc/net/[ipv6_]route to avoid
+    performance problem.  Users can disable ipv4/ipv6 routes gathering
+    separately if they want ipv6 or ipv4 only.

-    GuestInfo: enable nic/iproute information for Linux without libdnet
+    Hgfs Server Plugin: only handle the shared folders client in hosted products
     
-    Linux glibc (since 2.3) fully supports getting ip addresses using
-    getifaddrs() for both IPv4 and IPv6. Use of getifaddrs() was already
-    implemented in nicInfoPosix.c for tools for ESXi. This change
-    enables that code also for Linux, if libdnet is not used.
+    Only initialize the Shared Folders client redirector in hosted product
+    environments.
     
-    The change also enables the iproute information, which does not
-    depend on libdnet, except by the use of addr_stob(), which can
-    be replaced easily with the existing function CountNetmaskBits().
+    Details: Check if the tools system service started in a non-hosted product
+    and if so do not start the shared folders client redirector.
+    Check if the tools user service started in a non-hosted product product and if
+    so then skip reconnecting any Shared Folders mapped drives.

+    Remove debug display of CPUID vendor string seen in VmCheck_IsVirtualWorld
     
-    On Linux, statfs syscall reports free space in two fields.
-    From http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/statfs.2.html:
-    1. f_bfree => Free blocks in filesystem
-    2. f_bavail => Free blocks available to unprivileged user
+    The "Debug" message containing vendor string returned by the CPUID
+    instruction will appear on STDERR for stand-alone programs such
+    as vmware-checkvm.  This unexpected output is at best noise and may
+    adversely affect existing scripts.

+
+    [DeployPkg] Replace Log() references with g_log()
     
-    For file systems that maintain reserved space for system
-    activities f_bfree > f_bavail because f_bfree includes the
-    reserved space in the file system. The reserved space is
-    typically 5% for 'ext4' file systems. Newer distros like
-    RHEL 7.x use 'xfs' by default and report same value for
-    both the fields.
+    * Modified the code to replace a couple of Log() references with g_debug()
+    so that they are properly logged with 'deplogPkg' domain instead of the
+    generic 'vmsvc' domain in the tools log files.

+
+    [oss] Upgrade GTK+ and its dependent libraries for VMtools
     
-    The Linux 'df' command uses f_bavail in its reporting.
-    Tools reports, conditionally, f_bfree for root and f_bavail
-    for non-root.  However, since vmtoolsd runs as root, Tools
-    always reports f_bfree, which is more free space than 'df'
-    would report (depending on amount of reserved space).
+    GTK+ and its dependent libraries are upgraded to:
+    gtk+       2.24.32
+    atk        2.28.1
+    gdk-pixbuf 2.36.11

+
+    Set perms on Tools script logs.
     
-    In order to be consistent with Linux 'df' command,
-    report f_bavail as the disk free space by default. This does
-    change the behavior a little bit in that Tools will report less
-    disk free space than before, the difference being the same as
-    the reserved space on the file system, typically 5%. This
-    should be OK in general because it makes the space reporting
-    a bit conservative. If this change in behavior is not desired
-    for some use cases, the old behavior can be restored by setting
-    the following newly added configuration in this change:
+    Make the network script logs secure; set log file perms to 0600.

+    [Wayland DnD] Part2: Open the uinput device file with root permission.
     
-    [guestinfo]
-    diskinfo-include-reserved=true
+    The device file /dev/uinput (or /dev/input/uinput) can only be accessed
+    by root account, so the dndcp plugin may failed to open this device file
+    if the current user is not root account.
     
-    The existing callers that are outside the guestInfo plugin
-    will continue to include reserved space in their space
-    accounting as before.
+    A way to fix this issue is opening this device file with root account,
+    then pass the file descriptor to the sub task which is started with the
+    current account. An example for this solution is blockVM file system
+    device file.
     
-    Also fixed a few minor stuff/touchups in vmtoolsConfig.c.
+    This patch is part of the new feature 'Wayland support in Linux guest'.

-    Add Str_Strncpy
+    [Wayland DnD] Part1: Add 'fakeMouse' module which is used to simulate the
+           mouse motion under Wayland
     
-    Add a Str_Strncpy function that, unlike strncpy, guarantees
-    NUL-termination.
+    For Linux guest with X11, the VMTools uses the X system APIs to simulate
+    the mouse motion, but these X11 System APIs do not work in Wayland. Need
+    to pick up another method to simulate the mouse motion.
+    
+    Another way to simulate the mouse motion is using uinput module.
+    
+    uinput is a kernel module that makes it possible to emulate input devices
+    from userspace. By writing to /dev/uinput (or /dev/input/uinput) device,
+     a process can create a virtual input device with specific capabilities.
+    Once this virtual device is created, the process can send events through
+    it, that will be delivered to userspace and in-kernel consumers.
+    
+    Here is the link which contains more information about the uinput module:
+    
+    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/input/uinput.html
+    
+    This patch adds a new module named 'fakeMouse' which is used to simulate the mouse motion under Wayland.

-    Fix a segfault when log file isn't set and conf is reloaded.
-    
-    When vmsvc.handler=file, but vmsvc.data isn't set, vmtoolsd crashed
-    on reloading the config file. This was caused by using a NULL value
-    as an argument to a strcmp().
+    Add new guest metrics to be consumed by vROps.
     
-    This change fixes this by using g_strcmp0 which handles NULL pointers
-    gracefully, and setting confData to a default value before calling
-    g_strcmp0().
+    Windows:
+    * ProcessorQueueLength
+    * CurrentDiskQueueLength

-    Fix processing RPC data in TimeSync RPC handler
+    FreeBSD vmmemctl: Fold in open-vm-tools pull requests #125 and #140
     
-    RPC data is whitespace delimited string and any leading whitespaces need to
-    be ignoreed before processing data. The data here indicates whether timeSync
-    should do a backward sync on this RPC callback.
+    This change incorporates two open-vm-tools pull requests that provide
+    code changes that allows the existing vmmemctl.ko driver to be compiled
+    on FreeBSD 10, 11 or 12.
+    
+    Pull request #125:
+    An optional argument has been added to the sysctl_add_oid() function
+    in FreeBSD 12.x. All releases have a SYSCTL_ADD_OID() macro that does
+    not require the additional argument.
+    
+    Pull request #140:
+    Functions and macros to lock and unlock memory pages and objects have
+    changed between the FBSD 10 & 11.  The pull request provides a set C
+    preprocessor directives to select the appropriate code based on the
+    FreeBSD release being targeted.
+    
+    The code change as been tidied up by using the release version checks
+    to define LOCK and UNLOCK macros for memory pages and objects at the
+    beginning of the source file.  The code logic is easier to follow
+    without the abundance of #if, #else and #endif statements scattered
+    about.

-    Add support for 64-bit inodes in FreeBSD 12
+    Add missing memory constraints for vm_atomic RMW (Read/Modify/Write) instructions
     
-    FreeBSD 12 is switching to 64-bit inodes which will cause some ABI
-    breakage in user code.  This fix modifies the getdirentries() syscall
-    used in hgfsServerLinux.c for that FBSD 12 64-bit inodes.
+    There are two inseparable concepts involved when dealing with atomics:
+    1. Atomicity of the access itself
+    2. Ordering of the access with respect to other reads&writes (from the view of
+    other processors).
     
-    The fix was provided by Josh Paetzel in open-vm-tools pull request
-    https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/pull/190
+    Our Read-Modify-Write functions are all meant to provide the highest level of
+    ordering guarantee: Sequential Consistency, which means no reordering of reads
+    or writes across the access. We properly implement that on ARM, and on
+    x86/x64 at the hardware layer. But, on x86/x64 we needed to tell the compiler
+    (it must flush out any pending reads/writes that are currently hiding in
+    registers)
+    
+    Side Note: we do *not* change the pure Read and pure Write functions, only
+    the Read/Modify/Write ones. On both ARM and x86/x64, vm_atomic functions like
+    Atomic_WriteN provide no (re)ordering guarantees today (at the hardware layer
+    on ARM or at the compiler layer on x86/x64). This is because some callers
+    didn't need or want such guarantees - as such, Atomic_WriteN by itself is
+    *not* sufficient to, say, release a lock. Making these remaining atomic
+    weapons safe by default will require us to first
+    1. add new unordered atomic equivalents of Atomic_ReadN/TestBitN and
+    Atomic_WriteN (in C11 terminology, acquire/release and relaxed)
+    2. Scan the tree and switch appropriate callers to the new functions
+    
+    *and only then*
+    3. Strengthen the defaults, affecting only callers who needed the stronger
+    defaults to be correct. ... but that would be a separate change in the
+    future.
+    
+    Codegen differences (vmm.vmm64):
+    --------------------------------
+    The function that uncovered this was ST_HandleCrossCall, which invoked
+    Atomic_And64.
+    
+    original w/o explicit compiler mem barrier in ST_HandleCrossCall:
+    ...
+    lock and 	QWORD PTR [rdx+0x0],rax
+    movsxd 	rax,DWORD PTR [rip+offset]  <-- load reordered after Atomic_And64
+    lea    	rax,[rax+rax*2]
+    lea    	rdi,[rax*8+0x0]
+    
+    with "memory" constraint, it's now identical to code w/an explicit
+    compiler mem barrier (which was the workaround):
+    ...
+    mov    	edx,DWORD PTR [rip+offset]  <-- load emitted prior to Atomic_And64
+    ...
+    lock and 	QWORD PTR [rsi+0x0],rax
+    movsxd 	rax,edx                     <-- ... and used after Atomic_And64
+    lea    	rax,[rax+rax*2]
+    lea    	rdi,[rax*8+0x0]
+    
+    vmm.vmm64's .text section shrank 28 bytes
+    vmware-vmx's .text section shrank 16 bytes
+    
+    Given that these are tiny fractions of the .text section, this suggests the
+    problem was quite rare, which is why it escaped our attention until now.
+    (Testing of vmx's lib/lock, lib/sync, lib/vprobe, and lib/misc saw no
+    differences with GCC 4.4, 6.4, 7.1 or Clang)
+    
+    While in there: nuke some tabs
+    
+    Slated for a future change: vmkapi_atomic.h

-    Add support to check if a native guest time sync service is running.
+    vmcheck.c VmCheck_IsVirtualWorld(): Always check for a working backdoor.
     
-    This change adds support to VMware tools timesync to identify if a guest
-    native time synchronization service is running. If a native sync service is
-    running, then a resync command is issued. If native time sync service is not
-    running, we fall back on legacy VMware tools onetime sync to do guest time
-    correction.
+    The specific checks for Xen and VirtualPC hypervisors currently happen
+    only if the VMware hypervisor is not detected.  The test for a working
+    VMware backdoor is then done to avoid all other hypervisors.
     
-    We also post a callback to do legacy VMware tools onetime sync after a
-    timeout period. A timeout can be configured if guest native resync command
-    fails to sync guest time.
+    In the case where running on a VMware hypervisor and the backdoor
+    channel has been disabled such as with
+    
+       monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"
+    
+    vmtoolsd, vmware-toolbox-cmd and vmware-checkvm will crash when
+    attempting to get the version number of the installed VMware Tools.
+    
+    Added an additional test to detect Linux KVM with the existing tests
+    for the Xen hypervisor and Microsoft Virtual PC.  Avoid checking for
+    a working backdoor if a non VMware hypervisor is seen.
+    
+    Microsoft Hv checking to be added later and is tracked in a separate PR.
+    Oracle VirtualBox provides no unique CPUID vendor signature string.

-    Fix some compatibility issues between bsd_vsnprintf and

+    With the change for VMware headers to utilize the standard types

-    * bsd_vsnprintf used uppercase hexadecimal digits for %p but
-    bsd_vsnwprintf used lowercase.  vsnprintf has much more
-    inertia, so use uppercase in both.
+    CFLAGS += -isystem /usr/include
     
-    * bsd_vsnprintf's floating point output was adjusted for bug
-    704706, but corresponding changes were not made to

-    lib/file: Continue simplifying and optimizing
+    FreeBSD: Improper use of sysconf() for getpwent buffer size leads to
+             vmtoolsd crash.
     
-    Since we're UTF8 only, there are simplifications and
-    optimizations that can be done to lib/file, particularly in the
-    routines that look for directory separators and ASCII characters like
-    '.'. We don't need to use the unicode library to deal with these
-    type of code points.
+    On FreeBSD, sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) can return -1 if it has
+    no hard limit ultimately resulting in an incorrect buffer size.
     
-    This is the second in a sequence of changes to improve lib/file.
+    This change is adapting the sysconf() ifixes done elsewhere to
+    bora-vmsoft/services/plugins/vix/vixTools.c and updating the
+    open-vm-tools AUTHORS file to share credit for the pull request.

-    Fix lib/string unit tests
-    
-    Updates to lib/string.str.c and its unit tests.
-    
-    * On Linux, Str_Vsnwprintf uses vswprintf from glibc[1].
-    However, glibc's vswprintf implementation appears to be
-    broken by not NUL-terminating the destination if truncation
-    occurs.  Make Str_Vsnwprintf explicitly NUL-terminate along
-    this path.
-    
-    * The unit tests expected that Str_Vsnwprintf use %s for
-    wchar_t* arguments (and %S for char* ones).  That is a
-    Microsoft-ism (necessary for TCHAR-based printf functions
-    to use the same format strings with or without _UNICODE).
-    Our bsd_vsnwprintf function instead uses %s for char* (and
-    %S for wchar_t*).  Existing callers to Str_...wprintf use
-    use the BSD implementation and expect the BSD behavior
-    (which is consistent with standard C in this regard), so
-    go with the existing behavior and adjust the tests.

+    [lib/file]: remove useless heap allocation
     
-    * Finally, the existing Str_...printf tests are
-    fundamentally flawed: they compare output against the
-    system's printf functions.  However, the whole point of
-    having our own is to have consistent behavior across
-    platforms and to work around bugs; the output therefore
-    cannot be expected to consistently match.  Instead rewrite
-    the tests to compare Str_...printf output against fixed
-    strings.[2]  Additionally, enable these tests only if
-    HAS_BSD_PRINTF/HAS_BSD_WPRINTF are enabled; I see no point
-    in testing the system versions (which won't have consistent
-    output), and IMO the BSD implementations are the only ones
-    we should be supporting.
+    FileIO_AtomicUpdateEx allocates the argument to the "swap" ioctl
+    on the heap. This argument is a struct which contains a single int
+    fd... there is no need to heap-allocate it, the stack is just fine.

+    bora/lib: Use _exit when in the context of a signal handler
     
-    [1] I do not understand why HAS_BSD_WPRINTF is enabled on
-    Linux only for < gcc 2.96 (and not at all for macOS).
-    This probably should be fixed, but not as part of this
-    change. (I also don't know why HAS_BSD_WPRINTF is
-    distinct from HAS_BSD_PRINTF.)
+    There are a few cases in bora/lib where exit(3) is used in the
+    context of a signal handler. It was recently noticed that exit(3) is
+    not async-signal-safe, and _exit(2) should be used instead.
     
-    [2] bsd_vsnwprintf is not consistent with bsd_vsnprintf for
-    all format specifiers.  I plan to deal with this later,
-    but for now, make the expected strings match the actual
-    output so we have a starting point where everything
-    passes.
+    This patch changes a call from exit(3) to _exit(2) in bora/lib.

-    We want to handle Windows allowance of "/" and "\" as directory
-    separators. Let's have an easy way to check things and use it.
+    The RHEL 7.x releases are all kernel 3.10 based. Currently the Hgfs FUSE
+    client will not be enabled for these earlier kernel versions, enabled only
+    for 4.0 kernels and later.  This means for default tools install on plaftorms
+    running those kernel versions the Hgfs kernel client must be installed and
+    used for Shared Folders.  The consequence of this means that the tar tools
+    installer must be run to provide the Hgfs kernel client on top of the OVT
+    install.
     
-    This is first in a sequence of changes to improve our handling of
-    directory separators in lib/file.
+    To remove the need to install the tar tools we must enable support for the
+    Hgfs FUSE client, which just requires the kernel version check to be modified
+    from 4.0.0 to 3.10.0.

+
+    Enhancements for rpcChannel library.
     
-    The issue in linuxDeployment.c has been fixed. This change is to
-    udpate the AUTHORS file.
+    rpcChannel.c file contains the code for building rpcChannel library. A good
+    amount of the same code is duplicated in rpcChannelSimple.c file to
+    build a simplified version (no glib dependency) of the rpcChannel library.
+    It's recommended to remove the duplication and maintain only one single
+    file which can be used to build both 'glib-dependent rpcChannel' and
+    'glib independent rpcChannel' library.

-    - https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/pull/107/files#diff-ffeb9f9be2f25b5b92ecf9101fa3aae5
+    This changeset implements the following changes:
+    * Removed rpcChannelSimple.c
+    
+    * Renamed I_USE_SIMPLE_RPC make variable to USE_RPCI_ONLY. If this
+    flag is specified, rpcChannel library will be built using only RPCI.
+    No dependencies on rpcIn will be added. This inturn will remove
+    dependencies on dynxdr, xdr and glib.
+    
+    * Modified the RpcChannelInt structure to have only the necessary
+    attributes when USE_RPCI_ONLY is defined.
+    
+    * Modified a bunch of functions into '#if defined(NEED_RPCIN)' block
+    to make available only when necessary.
+    
+    * Modified guestrpc.h to provide the declarations for few RpcChannel_*
+    functions only when needed.
+    
+    * Modified rpcChannel library to implement necessary stub files / functions
+    when it has to be built 'with rpci only' setting.
+    
+    * Removed various copies of 'glib_stubs.c' maintained by different
+    consumers of rpcChannel (appmonitorlib, vmGuestLib, 'imgcust' components).
+    
+    * Modified the make files of various consumers (vmGuestLib, appmonitorlib,
+    imgcust components [linux-pkg-deployer, guestcustutil, UnitTest]) to
+    remove the dependencies for dynxdr library.
+    
+    * Did some code refactoring.
+    - Removed some dead code in some make files.

-    Update __IS_FREE_BSD__ macro in vm_basic_defs.h
+    Implement a new function VMTools_GetTimeAsString.
     
-    The __IS_FREEBSD__ macro in vm_basic_defs.h uses "defined" in
-    the definition.  That is undefined behavior and the FreeBSD default
-    compiler, clang (LLVM), warns about this pervasively misused
-    construct.  With all warnings equivalent to an error, builds fail.
+    * Implemented a new function VMTools_GetTimeAsString in
+    vmtools library which returns a properly formatted UTC timestamp
+    information. This function can be used by different modules / plugins
+    in 'VMware Tools' to add the timestamp information in log files.
     
-    The object-like macro __IS_FREEBSD__ has been rewritten in a manner
-    acceptable to the current C standard.
+    Example of UTC timestamp information: "2018-02-22T21:17:38.517Z"
     
-    Open-vm-tools pull request: https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/pull/136
+    * Modified vmtools logging module to call the new function and
+    prepend the UTC timestamp information in every log message.
+    
+    * Modified deployPkgLog.c to use the new function.
+    
+    * Removed references / definition of System_GetTimeAsString since
+    it is no longer used anywhere in the code.

-    Make TimeUtil_GetTimeFormat avoid a null pointer dereference if ctime_r fails
+    Add timestamp information to each deploypkg log message.
     
-    ctime_r potentially could return NULL on failure.  Instead of
-    blindly dereferencing the result, TimeUtil_GetTimeFormat
-    should check for that and also return NULL (which callers
-    should already expect on failure).
+    * Modified deployPkgLog.c file to prepend UTC timestamp information
+    to each log message coming from 'deploypkg' module in 'VMware Tools'.
+    
+    * Used bunch of glib functions to get the current UTC time. As per
+    the glib manual, these glib functions are available since 2.26. 2.26 was
+    released around 8 years ago which is kind of very old. Having the glib
+    dependency on 2.26 is OK.
+    
+    * Did some minor code refactoring. In DeployPkg.c file, at all
+    call sites for DeployPkgLog_Log, replaced the hard coded values with
+    the proper LogLevel enums.

+    This resulted in more CPU Utilization as opposed to previous release in CAF & caused regression in vmtools 10.2.0.

+    We were checking for the different stages of listener preconfiguration status from the listenerpreConfigure.txt files in the polling time interval, which caused increased IO operations.

+    lib/file: add File_MakeSafeTempSubdir
+    
+    File_MakeSafeTempDir and File_GetSafeTmpDir are typically used to create
+    "safe" temp dirs on Windows and Linux. These are dirs in a known-secure
+    location with known-secure security attributes that only allow access to
+    the current user. These APIs work fine. However, on Windows if one creates
+    a subdir inside the safe dir, the subdir may be given an unexpected
+    (and overly restrictive) set of default DACLs on it in unusual situations.
+    The solution is to introduce a new API specifically to allow a caller to
+    create a subdir within an existing safe dir that ensures the DACLs
+    are exactly what are needed.

+
+    Skip specified file systems when doing a quiesced snapshot on Linux
     
-    VMware tools timeSync can be enabled in a guest that also has a native
-    time service running. This can lead to race conditions when both the time
-    services are trying to correct system time. Particularly, when both of
-    these services tries to do a step correction on certain events, guest
-    time behaves in an undesirable manner that could cause guest
-    applications to fail. This change introduces a couple of vmx config options
-    that can be used to eliminate or atleast reduce the chance of race
-    condition between VMware tools timeSync and guest native time service
-    (like w32time or NTP).
+    Add a tools.conf setting "excludedFileSystems" that specifies one or
+    more file system mount points to be skipped over when performing a
+    quiesced snapshot on Linux guests.  The value of excludedFileSystems
+    is a comma-separated list of glob-style patterns as recognized by the
+    glib routines described here:
     
-    The basic idea is to utilize native time service to resynchronize and
-    recalibrate its parameters and force to do a step correction if
-    necessary. VMware tools timeSync would send a service request to native
-    guest time service when it needs to do a step correction, rather than
-    correcting system time itself. This helps in having a single service
-    responsible for correcting guest system time and eliminates/reduces race
-    condition.
+    https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Glob-style-pattern-matching.html
     
-    "time.synchronize.guest.resync"=<TRUE|FALSE> controls whether this new
-    method of guest time synchronization is enabled or not.
-    There might be situations where native guest time service resync request
-    is not successful. This could happen if the native time service is not
-    configured correctly or if there is an intermittent network outage, etc.
-    We would like to fall back to using legacy way of VMware tool timeSync
-    onetime correction in such failure scenarios.
-    "time.synchronize.guest.resync.timeout>=0" vmx option allows us to achieve
-    that. Tools timeSync would initiate a resync request, then wait for
-    'timeout' period of time and would fall back of legacy timeSync onetime
-    sync behavior. This allows us to correct guest time even in case of
-    native guest time service failure.
+    With this change, when performing a quiesced snapshot, the sync driver
+    freeze routine removes from the list of mount points it is to process
+    any path that matches a pattern in the excludedFileSystems list.
+    
+    In the course of testing the change, a bug was found in SyncDriverFreeze
+    in which it returned SD_ERROR rather than FALSE when the path list is
+    empty.
+    
+    This change also includes some whitespace cleanup in syncDriverWin32.c.

+    Anytime a application or thread asked for its safe temporary directory,

+    
+    Change File_GetSafeTmpDir to cache the EUID associated with the cached
+    values. If there is an EUID change, invalidate the existing cache
+    entries and recompute them. The recomputation process is stable, in

+    
+    This way we get the benefit of the cache (performance), ensured

-    Hgfs OSX Server: Create and use server callback table for change notifications
-    
-    There are now three different callbacks into the Hgfs server from the file
-    change notification component. So we now pass these in a table to the nofify
-    module when it is initialized instead of ad hoc. Previously, the same
-    callback is passed for every subscriber watch event and therefore duplicated
-    and stored in each subscriber.
-    
-    Note that the feature is currently switched off by default until these changes
-    are complete. A user will explicitly have to enable the VMX file setting and
-    would cause a VMX assert to be triggered.
+    lib/file: Clean up POSIX File_GetSafeTempDir() in fileTempPosix.c
     
-    Details:
-    - The server now creates a table for its notification callbacks and passes
-      it to the notify initialization function.
-    - The server now includes the async thread registration callbacks previously
-      ifdef'd out.
-    - The Notify_Init function APIs are updated to reflect the new argument for
-      callbacks.
-    - The HgfsNotify_AddSubscriber argument does not include the callback as it
-      is now passed once at the initialization time.
-    - The HgfsNotifyEventReceiveCb type has been modified now it is an entry in
-      the callback table.
-    - The subscriber callback function call is now validated to be non-NULL

-    GuestInfo: Add option to exclude network interfaces
-    
-    VMs running docker can have hundred of virtual network interfaces.
-    Also, docker creates one virtual network interface 'docker0' with
-    an IPv4 address. This address is useless outside the VM, and should
-    not be propagated via GuestInfo, or even as the primary network
-    address.
+    Skip davfs mount points during quiescing
     
-    This change adds on option for tools.conf to exclude specific
-    network interface names using patterns with wildcards. This makes
-    it easy to exclude virtual docker interface names with the option
+    The davfs2 is a Linux filesystem that allows mounting a Web Distributed
+    Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) network resource as a local filesystem.
+    On some Linux releases, the FREEZE ioctl() is rejected and quiescing
+    these filesystems is not attempted.  On others, however, the FREEZE is
+    not rejected and there exists the potential of a quiescing deadlock
+    if the davfs2 attempts to write to its cache in /var which has already
+    been quiesced.
     
-    exclude-nics=docker*,veth*
+    This fix is to avoid a potential deadlock by excluding davfs2 mounts
+    as the networking filesystem they are.  Since davfs2 may be implemented
+    on the Linux fuse (default) or coda filesystem kernel module,
+    the detection of these network mounts must be based upon detection
+    of the URL prefix of the mounted device name.
     
-    For convenience, the option is set to docker*,veth* by default,
-    except for Windows, where it is "vEthernet*". To
-    send information of all interfaces, including docker* and veth*,
-    the option needs to be set to an empty value: exclude-nics=
+    The static function SyncDriverIsRemoteFSType() is being updated to
+    not only exclude remote filesystems based on filesystem type but also
+    to exclude davfs2 remote filesystems by the "http://" or "https://"

-    Tools Hgfs Plugin: Refresh Hgfs drives on client start
-    
-    In order to get Explorer to see that VMware Shared Fodlers
-    drives are available when the feature is enabled, we touch
-    each drive that is mapped as a VMware Shared Folder. This
-    is to prevent users being confused when they have the feature
-    enabled but Explorer creates the user's drive mappings before
-    the tools service has initialized the Hgfs plugin and started
-    the Hgfs client. In this situation the drives are marked
-    as red (disconnected) until the user clicks on the mapped
-    drive when Explorer will refresh the connction and set it
-    to green (connected).
+    Remove uses of header file safetime.h
     
-    Details:
-    - Main service will usually create otheriwse open a named event
-      to synchronize with the user service.
-    - Main service will start the HGFS client redirector (as before
-      this is not new).
-    - Main service will set the synchronization event to signalled.
-    - User service will usually open the named event (or create it
-      if first).
-    - User service will enumerate all the mapped network drives and,
-      if they are provided by the VMware Shared Folder redirector,
-      reconnect them.
-    - The named event will be created with Administrators group all
-      access and Everyone with modify state to signal it and synchronize
-      to wait on it.
+    - (many places) replace "safetime.h" with <time.h> and/or <sys/stat.h>,
+                    occasionally re-ordering this header to top of file
+    - (many places) remove "safetime.h" as no time functions are used

-    Remove Util_GetCurrentThreadId from VIX
-    
-    Some cleanup now that VThreadBase_GetKernelID() is available
-    in VIX code, we log the thread which made certain API calls.
+    Ignore ENXIO errors with SyncDriver
     
-    The thread name is already logged in our Log() implementation,
-    so having the thread ID merely wastes bytes. Remove it.
+    A quiesced snapshot fails when the target VM has a bind mount.  The
+    problem is that the syncDriver gets an ENXIO error when it tries to
+    open the mount point.  To fix the problem, let the quiesce operation
+    skip a mount point when opening it results in an ENXIO error.
     
-    (Thread IDs like this are useful for correlating with kernel logs.
-    Which in practice does not apply to VIX).
+    This change is based on pull request

-    Hgfs Server: Move async request globals into the Hgfs session
-    
-    This change moves the async request globals into the Hgfs session.
-    They are only applicable to a session and only used during a session's
-    lifetime, so making them global is not necessary and means that
-    they take up resources when not used.
-    
-    Details:
-    - Move the previous globals into a structure for async requests.
-    - Add the async requests structure to the HgfsSessionInfo object.
-    - Create a set of helper functions to init, exit and manipulate the
-      async requests structure.
-    - Remove the calls to init and teardown the globals now they don't
-      exist.
-    - Add the helper calls to the session creation and destruction.
-    - Add the helper calls to replace adding a new async request, removing
-      an async request, and waiting for all async requests to complete.

-    Hgfs OSX Server: Reinstate checkpoint synchronization and process session
-    
-    First reinstate the server checkpoint synchronization routine by adding
-    it into the table the HGFS server session callback table which is returned
-    to the transports upon initialization. These transports will then call
-    into the HGFS server when asked by the HGFS server manager which receives
-    the check point synchronization calls.
-    
-    When processing the synchronization request for the operation type -
-    freeze or thaw we must pass through the session information to the
-    activation and deactivation calls into the file system change notification
-    subsystem. These calls will require the session for register-unregister
-    any active threads generating events.  This change just plumbs through
-    the session as the argument. Follow on changes will make use of the
-    session argument passing it on to the event generating component.
+    Hgfs Server: replace duplicate function usage with a common function.
     
-    Bonus here is that we can delete an unwarranted global from the HGFS server.
-    A to do comment is added to move the async globals into the HGFS server
-    session object as they should be a per HGFS  session and are useful only
-    on a per session basis. No session then no need for them to be around and
-    if the session does have asynchronous support then again will not be required.
-    For example, if the transport does not support this behavior no need to
-    check them.
+    This change simply replaces a duplicate function usage with a common
+    function and removes the duplicate one.

+    GuestOS: Support the os-release standard
     
-    We now want msec to be at the end, to be consistant with our current
-    usage.
+    While bringing up Amazon Linux as a guest, it was discovered that
+    Amazon Linux was not LSB compilant. The LSB standard defines a way
+    to uniquely determine which distro one is running on. Since our code
+    was based on the LSB standard, we made some changes to explicitly
+    detect Amazon Linux and handle it as a special case.
+    
+    Amazon let us know that there is a "new" standard - os-release - which
+    they are compliant with. One must explicitly install Amazon Linux in a
+    special way to obtain the LSB compliance.
+    
+    Researching the "new" standard, it turned out to not be that different
+    than the LSB standard. Further research showed that some distros (e.g.
+    Ubuntu) are releasing with both standards.
+    
+    This change refactors the existing code, removes the explicit Amazon
+    Linux checking, and accepts the os-release standard. Amazon Linux then
+    "just falls out".

-    lib/lock: msec consistancy
+    Reduce Vigor transport socket draining overhead
     
-    We want the "msec" at the end of variables. This improves readability
-    and is consistant with the usage elsewhere.
+    A previous change in VigorPollImpl and asyncsocket to fix a memory
+    leak that causes a performance regression for parallel reconfiguration of
+    running VMs (the kind requiring FSR).  During an FSR, the connection
+    between hostd and the source vmx would drop and hostd would then
+    reconnect to the destination vmx.  One source of regression is that
+    the buffer has to be drained when a disconnect happens and the draining
+    logic may potentially unregister and re-register the recv callback
+    multiple times.  This change adds an asyncsocket function specifically
+    for draining recv that reduces the manipulation of callback.  It
+    reduces the regression by up to ~50% (the effect is more pronounced with
+    more VMs).

-    UTF-8 support.  Modify the existing code to fallback to
-    ANSI C locale if UTF-8 is not found.
+    Modify logging of client redirector handling functions for starting the client

+    Set X11 as the backend for gtk3 of open-vm-tools
+    
+    Open-vm-tools defaults to gtk3.  For distros like Fedora 27, Wayland is
+    the default display server.  With no restriction on the backend, plugins
+    will try to use Wayland as the backend of Gtk+3.  As a result,
+    gdk_display_get_default() returns a Wayland display;
+    gdk_display_get_default_group() also returns a Wayland window.  Applying
+    GDK_WINDOW_XID() on the Wayland window will result in the crash reported
+    on recent Linux releases that default to a Wayland display server.
+    
+    As X11-specific code is widely used in tools plugins, a migratation to
+    Wayland in the short term is not possible.  So, as a compromised solution,
+    plugins can be forced to run on XWayland, which is the compatible mode
+    of Wayland for legacy X11 clients.
+    
+    gdk_set_allowed_backends() only applies when flag GTK3 is defined, and Gtk
+    version cwgreater than 3.10.

+    Hgfs Server: fix error result for new dir creation in the virtual folder
+    
+    The Hgfs server code detects when a client tries to create a new folder in the
+    virtual folder containing the VMware Shares. This is not allowed as only the
+    host can add new Shares which appears in this folder. The current error code
+    returned to the client in these cases is access denied. This is only correct
+    when the new folder does not collide with an existing share. This stops clients
+    treating the virtual folder as a regular read/write physical folder. However,
+    for the case where the name collides, the access denied error is not correct,
+    as it does not tell the client the folder already exists. This causes some
+    applications to fail as they expect to see this error if the path component
+    exists as that is okay and expected. At this point the application will continue
+    to traverse the path and ensure the next component exists or if not create that.
+    
+    To ensure that applications don't prematurely fail and can test that the share
+    still exists in the path the Hgfs server should return HGFS_ERROR_FILE_EXIST
+    and leave HGFS_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED for all other cases.

+    Fix the SSL/AsyncSocket "SSL_shutdown:shutdown while in init" problem
+    
+    QE regression tests have caught a bug in the bora SSL/AsyncSocket
+    layer. A normal SSL connection could be abnormally terminated by some
+    other random connections.
+    
+    Seems a common bug of the SSL usage according to the link below.
+    VMware is not the first one to hit it. :-)
+    https://marc.info/?l=openssl-users&w=4&r=1&s=shutdown+while+in+init&q=b
+    
+    The cause is that the SSL error queue was not cleared before
+    calling the SSL IO functions like SSL_write,read,connect,accept.
+    Refer to the man page of SSL_get_error, Paragraph 2 of the Description.
+    Fixed the problem by adding addtional call to clear the error queue.
+    
+    Found another problem that the system error is not preserved between
+    where it is set after the SSL IO call and the use of it to determine
+    whether to retry the SSL IO. This is probably due to tools has its
+    own logging which does not preserve the system error number.
+    Fixed the logging.

-    Revert previous commit.
+    vm_basic_types.h: use stdint.h a little more.
+    
+    Now that enough of the builds are C++11, let's make the common case
+    use the <stdint.h> header to define the intNN types directly
+    from language-standard intNN_t types, and treat pre-C99/C++98
+    code as the special case.
+    
+    This also provides some clarity about the last __STRICT_ANSI__
+    macros in this file.  One was related to usage of 'long long' in
+    strict c90 mode and has been replaced with a comment indicating that
+    64-bit-variable compiler extensions are mandatory (strict c90 mode is
+    not allowed via the headers).  The other related to X11 headers; those
+    headers have been examined to understand the workarounds needed and
+    the exact scenario(s) that are problematic have been commented (turns
+    out FreeBSD had nothing to do with the problem).
+    
+    Finally, all the Bool-related definitions have been moved and merged
+    to a single location NOT at the top of the file.
+    
+    Net effects of this change:
+    - non-linux C++11 (so Windows+Mac) now uses stdint.h
+    - exact set of macros involved in declaring Bool is reduced
+    - compiling with c90 mode really will break now (use gnu90 instead).

+    using -std=c++11 (which implies __STRICT_ANSI__). The Linux/C++
+    section of this file thus had duplicate definitions (which I am
+    now removing) to work around the gap.
     
-    The new prototype returns essentially the same information, with
-    one important advancement: we can contractually guarantee the 'tid'
-    field is populated BEFORE the child thread starts. This neatly
-    avoids all sorts of interesting race conditions where the child
-    starts running before the CreateThread function passes back its
-    return value. This style of design is preferred by operating
-    systems (see Posix pthread_create, Win32 CreateThread).
+    Quick cheat sheet for -std= values:
+    - c90 := __STRICT_ANSI__, no long long type
+    - gnu90 := c90 + gcc extensions, has long long type
+    - c99 := __STRICT_ANSI__, has long long type (defined in c99)
+    - c++11 := __STRICT_ANSI__, has long long type (defined in C++11)

-    Check for Xen, VirtualPC etc., only if VMware not detected
+    Allow copying of object policy within the same container
     
-    This is a workaround to avoid random vmtoolsd crashes when running
-    on a VMware VM. This fix ensures that we check for Xen and VirtualPC only
-    if we haven't already detected a VMware hypervisor.
+    ObjLib_CloneExtParams is currently not allowing copying of policy from
+    parent to child/clone object on VSAN. This is because the copy policy
+    check is based on unique filesystem ID, which will be different for
+    parent and child on VSAN because they will mostly be created on same
+    container but different namespace. This change uses VCFS root instead
+    of namespace UUID to make the comparison on VSAN.
+    
+    Bonus fix: File_FullPath is now fixed to work for any combination of
+    ancestor path being present. Currently it only works if either the
+    given path exists, or when only the last component of the path does
+    not exist. And since this fix relies on finding the VCFS root of both
+    parent and child (parent is present but child is not),
+    ObjLibPathToVCFSRoot has been modified to rely on File_FullPath  in
+    addition to Util_GetCanonicalPath if the path does not exist.

-    Hgfs Server: Fix snapshot synchronization callback
-    
-    Currently when snapshots occur, the VMX calls the HGFS server
-    manager synchronization callback to notify the Hgfs server to
-    freeze or thaw the Hgfs file IO activity.  First, this Hgfs
-    server synchronization callback is called regardless of the
-    Hgfs Shared folders feature and server is enabled or not.
-    Consequently, the Hgfs server callback lamely uses a global
-    variable to track the server state just for this call and
-    returns without doing anything if not initialized.
-    Second, the HGFS server now requires the transport connection
-    in order to extract the Hgfs session as the file notification
-    component requires the session to allow its event generating
-    thread to callback to the server to register and unregister
-    through the transport which uses the PhysMem APIs.
-    
-    This change fixes:
-    - call the Hgfs server only if Shared Folders and the server
-      are enabled
-    - call through the channel manager and channel transport to
-      the Hgfs server
-    - Hgfs server session callback table is extehded with a server
-      quiesce callback.
-    - HgfsServerSessionQuiesce callback now replaces the old
-      HgfsServer_Quiesce exported API.
-    - Make the quiesce callback use an enum to the thaw-freeze op
-      instead of a bool
-    - remove the Hgfs server initialized global now it is not required
-    
-    The tools implementation of the Hgfs server code does not use this
-    API and thus the guest Hgfs manager and transport channel do not
-    implement any code which will use the session quiesce callback.
+    Common header file change; not applicable to open-vm-tools.

-    Hgfs Server: Fix a memory leak on server exit not destroying the shares
-    
-    This change fixes a memory leak on server exit not destroying the shares.
-    The list of shares is not destroyed and left.
+    GuestInfo: skip check for shrinkable disk when gathering disk info
     
-    Fix this at the Hgfs server tear down by calling the shares reset with an
-    empty list which will cause all shares to be treated as stale and so deleted.
+    Some Linux OSes may have a non-existing device mounted to a filesystem,
+    for example Photon OS has the root file system mounted from
+    /dev/root, which does not exist. The wiper library does a check
+    for a shrinkable disk, and this fails. This change skips the check
+    when gathering data for diskinfo, but leaves it intact for
+    other disk wiper purposes. Information from read-only flesystems
+    will also be reported.

+
+    Make VigorPollImpl FD-based callbacks non-periodic (take 3)
+    
+    The previous attempt reveals another pre-existing issue.  An fd that is
+    closed by AsyncSocket may be reused right away.  The SharedStream for
+    that fd may still have an outstanding callback that needs to fire
+    before it would be destroyed.  If the destruction happens after the fd
+    is re-used and the new owner is using boost asio stream, the Release()
+    call would cancel the async read/write operation for the new owner.
+    One simple fix is to dup the fd when creating a SharedStream.  This
+    means hostd would need 2 fds for each running VM.  The hostd fd limit
+    is currently 4096 and I was able to power on 1K VMs.  If necessary, the
+    fd limit can be increased (the system limit is 32K).
+    
+    Previous description:
+    
+    The original change has an issue on Linux that is not observed in ESX.
+    When the read and write callbacks fire in parallel, both would release
+    the reference to the SharedStream, triggering its destructor.  Later
+    when the read callback tries to re-register itself, it would hit a
+    boost exception.  To avoid that, I delayed the reset of
+    CallbackFD::stream to the end of Invoke so that the SharedStream
+    object woudl not be destroyed as long as the callback is re-registered.
+    
+    Original description:
+    
+    The hard-to-reproduce AsyncSocket leak turns out to be a variation of
+    PR 1530561.  The fix for that bug only plugs the leak when the race is
+    between a VigorPollImpl callback that fires with an CanceledException
+    (which can be triggered by another callback registered on the same fd --
+    this is the boost behavior) and a thread trying to unregister the same
+    callback (e.g. upon detection of a disconnect).  There is still a
+    potential reference leak when the read and write callbacks run in
+    parallel, if a disconnection happens between the two asyncsocket
+    callbacks (the asyncsocket callbacks take the asyncsocket lock, so they
+    are mostly serialized).  The second asyncsocket callback handling the
+    disconnect error would unregister the first callback while the first
+    callback would be attempting to re-register itself at the VigorPollImpl
+    level (to provide the periodic behavior exposed by IVmdbPoll).  If the
+    unregister wins the race, it would return false because the callback
+    cannot be cancelled (it is running).  Then ReRegister would not find
+    the callback in the hash table, so the callback would not fire again,
+    which means the reference taken when registering the callback is leaked.
+    
+    Applying the fix for PR 1530561 in the above scenario would not work
+    because an AsycnSocket callback may unregister itself and in that case
+    the reference is appropriately released.  Unless we save the thread ID
+    in Unregister, we would not be able to distinguish when the callback
+    needs to run in order to release the reference.  After considering
+    various options, I believe trying to support periodic fd-based
+    callbacks on top of a multi-threaded poll API is troublesome.  This
+    change adds a poll flag for one-shot callbacks and used that in
+    AsyncSocket with IVmdbPoll.  VigorPollImpl only support the one-shot
+    behavior.  In the long term I would like to retire IVmdbPoll and create
+    a new poll interface.  For now I would like to minimize churn while
+    fixing the memory leak.

+    Tools: GuestInfo: ESX: dynamically load libvmkmemstats.so
     
-    Remove the register share callback and usage which is an HGFS server
-    libray function passed back to the VMX Hgfs server manager and policy
-    manager. This tracked shares as they were individually added and removed.
-    It carried with it VMDB behavior which was erroneous for the HGFS server
-    share tracking.
+    The new version of the vmware tools will be installed on older version
+    of ESX.  But these older versions do not come with libvmkmemstats.so
+    and a dynamic linking error occurs.
     
-    This API has been replaced by piggybacking on the Hgfs server InvalidateObjects
-    callback which informs the Hgfs server when the VMDB has finished updating
-    the Hgfs policy manager with shares and the Policy manager's list is complete.
-    At this point the Hgfs server can close any open handles on stale shares and
-    remove those stale shares and add new shares.
+    This patch changes the code to deal with the case where the lib is not
+    available.  Instead of relying on the linker to dynamically link with
+    libvmkmemstats.so, g_module_open() is used to open the library, if
+    available, and gracefully handle any eventual errors.
+    Before the patch, the whole libguestinfo would stop working and after
+    the patch only the memory stats are unavailable.

+    GuestInfo: add primary-nics and low-priority-nics options
     
-    This change fixes UI updates of the shares which currently
-    update by a poorly designed algorithm which causes change
-    notification subscriptions to be deleted and not restored
-    and also unnecessary deactivation and activation of the
-    events generation.
+    Add the options 'primary-nics' and 'low-priority-nics' for GuestInfo.
     
-    Currently, the UI updates the HGFS shares in the HGFS server
-    via the RegisterShare callback. This is done from HGFS VMX
-    policy code which handles updates from the UI and maintains
-    the HGFS shares. The UI calls the policy code for each share
-    to remove it until the list of shares is empty. It then calls
-    back for each share to add the existing shares back to the list.
-    Currently, the policy code calls the HGFS server RegisterShare
-    callback to delete the share as it removes them and then again
-    to add each one back in that added to the policy shares list.
-    Unfortunately, as the shares are removed any existing subscribers
-    for change notifications on the deleted share are also destroyed.
-    Furthermore, when the shares list is empty, the count of subscribers
-    will also be zero at this point causing a deactivation of the
-    file change event generator. Once, the shares are added back in
-    via the RegisterShare callback no event subscribers will be
-    restored as they are not tracked and the event generation
-    will also not be activated due to that reason.
+    The options accept a list of comma separated patterns for interface names
+    which can be considered as 'primary' or 'low priority' network interfaces.
+    This will cause the NicInfo to be put on top of the list for primary
+    interfaces, and to the bottom for low priority interfaces.
     
-    The fix is to make the shares tracking be handled in the same
-    manner as the HGFS server does for open handles on shares.
-    The HGFS policy waits until the shares list updates are complete
-    as the UI is done updating the shares. The HGFS policy then calls
-    the HGFS server InvalidateObjects callback with the new complete
-    list of shares which may or may not be different from the previous
-    list. The HGFS server InvalidateObjects goes through its current list
-    of shares and searches for each share in the new list of shares and
-    if it fails to locate it, then closes all open handles on that share.
-    Once the list has been exhausted, all open handles remaining will be
-    on shares that still exist.
+    Example:
     
-    The same callback is now used for resetting the list of shares for
-    the current subscribers of change events and not the RegisterShare
-    callback which should be removed altogether.  We now make sure that
-    the reset of file change event shares only removes shares not found
-    on the new list thereby only removing subscribers on those stale shares.
-    All subscribers for shares remaining on the lists are not deleted,
-    remain intact and unaffected.  Furthermore, file system event
-    generation will also not be deactivated unless all subscribers
-    happen to be for shares that were deleted.
+    primary-nics=eth1
     
-    This change is the first part which as code to piggyback on the HGFS
-    server InvalidateObjects callback to compare any shares in its list
-    with the new list and delete shares not found.  The RegisterSharecallback
-    function code is deleted and temporarily is an empty callback.
-    This will be deleted along with the callback code from the HGFS
-    policy manager in a subsequent change.
+    will make sure that the IP address(es) for eth1 will be sorted on
+    top of the list of IP addresses.
     
-    Details:
-    HgfsServerRegisterShare - is gutted and just an empty function just
-       logging that it is called.
-    HgfsServerCleanupDeletedFolders is effectively renamed to
-       HgfsServerSharesDeleteStale w/o the lock acquistion/release.
-    HgfsServerSharesDeleteStale now free the share name as well as the
-       share object to stop memory leak.
-    HgfsServerShareAddInternal is extracted from the old defunct
-       HgfsServerRegisterShare w/o the lock acquisition/release.
-    HgfsServerShareAdd acquires and releases the lock and calls
-       HgfsServerShareAddInternal
-    HgfsServerSharesReset is created and called from the
-       HgfsServerInvalidateObjects
-    HgfsServerEnumerateSharedFolders now calls the new HgfsServerShareAdd
-       for all shares which is used to initialize the shares on HGFS server
-       start.
-    HgfsServerGetLocalNameInfo now does not get the Shared Folder handle
-       from the VMX policy host, instead getting it from the existing
-       HgfsServerGetShareHandle (the server maintained list of shares).
-       This is only used for setting subscribers from the client when
-       using handles and not path names.
-    HgfsServerSetDirWatchByName now uses the handle returned by the
-       HgfsServerGetLocalNameInfo call.
-    markedForDeletion is now removed as holding stale state is not needed
-       since stale shares are deleted and resources freed immediately.
+    primary-nics=eth*
+    
+    will make sure that any one of the addresses of all interfaces
+    matching eth* will be sorted on top of the list of IP addresses,
+    but won't guarantee which one if there is more than one.
+    
+    low-priority-nics=eth*
+    
+    will work analogously, but interfaces will be sorted to the bottom.
+    
+    In case the limit of the number of interfaces to be reported is reached,
+    low priority interfaces are the first to be skipped.

-    Check timeout setting for scsi device before setting
+    [Tools] Fix crash issue when stopping vmtoolsd(vmuser)
     
-    The rule to set the timeout value for SCSI devices was too generic,
-    and caused error messages, when the timeout field was set
-    when it didn't exist. This is not harmful, but generates unnecessary
-    noise. This change adds a check if the timeout field exists.
+    When stopping vmtoolsd, the code tries to unload all plugins.  The
+    signal TOOLS_CORE_SIG_CAPABILITIES is emitted before really starting
+    to unload plugins.  If the plugin should try to call RpcChannel_Send
+    while processing the signal and the RPC channel has been shutdown, an
+    ASSERT is triggered.  The fix is to check whether rpc exists and if
+    unavailable, avoid sending the TOOLS_CORE_SIG_CAPABILITIES signal.

-    Remove convertutf and bsd_printf

-    The license for convertutf.c and convertutf.h does not
-    explicitly permit, or prohibit, modification of the files,
-    and restricts use to "products supporting the Unicode
-    Standard". This is a problem for distribution with Debian,
-    which complies to strict guidelines. See details at
-    https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools/issues/148
-    and
-    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823100
+    On SLES-SP1-SAP the "lsb_release -sd" command returns the string
+    "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 12 SP1".
+    Parsing in HostinfoGetOSShortName() detects the sub-strings "suse"
+    and "enterprise" but not "server 12".  STR_OS_SLES is returned
+    resulting in displaying of "SUSE Linux Enterprise 8/9" in the
+    summary screen of the vSphere client.  This is wrong.
     
-    The code is not essential for open-vm-tools. It's needed by
-    code in bsd_printf.c and related code, which in turn is
-    needed by msgfmt.c and msgList.c. The latter code is not needed
-    for open-vm-tools, and can therefore be eliminated from
-    the open-vm-tools package.
+    Instead, search for the sub-string "server for sap applications 12"
+    and return STR_OS_SLES_12.  SLES11-SAP is not affected.
     
-    When HAS_BSD_PRINTF isn't set, Str_Snprintf() and
-    Str_Vsnprintf will fall back to vsnprintf(), and
-    Str_Asprintf()/Str_Vasprintf() will fall back to
-    vasprintf(). Under Linux and FreeBSD these functions are
-    properly implemented, and support %ls and %S.

+    typically 5% for 'ext4' file systems. Newer distros like
+    RHEL 7.x use 'xfs' by default and report same value for
+    both the fields.
+    
+    The Linux 'df' command uses f_bavail in its reporting.
+    Tools reports, conditionally, f_bfree for root and f_bavail
+    for non-root.  However, since vmtoolsd runs as root, Tools
+    always reports f_bfree, which is more free space than 'df'
+    would report (depending on amount of reserved space).
+    
+    In order to be consistent with Linux 'df' command,
+    report f_bavail as the disk free space by default. This does
+    change the behavior a little bit in that Tools will report less
+    disk free space than before, the difference being the same as
+    the reserved space on the file system, typically 5%. This
+    should be OK in general because it makes the space reporting
+    a bit conservative. If this change in behavior is not desired
+    for some use cases, the old behavior can be restored by setting
+    the following newly added configuration in this change:
+    
+    [guestinfo]
+    diskinfo-include-reserved=true
+    
+    The existing callers that are outside the guestInfo plugin
+    will continue to include reserved space in their space
+    accounting as before.
+    
+    Also fixed a few minor stuff/touchups in vmtoolsConfig.c.

+    Add a poll flag for one-shot callbacks in AsyncSocket
+    
+    The original change had an issue.  When the read and write callbacks
+    fire in parallel, both would release the reference to the SharedStream,

+    
+    When vmsvc.handler=file, but vmsvc.data isn't set, vmtoolsd crashed

+    
+    This change fixes this by using g_strcmp0 which handles NULL pointers

+    
+    This also fixes a case where a change in the log file would be ignored.

+
+    AsyncSocket: Fix DoOneMsg's inBlockingRecv bookkeeping
+    
+    For the I[Vmdb]Poll support in AsyncTCPSocket, inBlockingRecv has been
+    used to avoid conflict with AsyncSocketDoOneMsg.  There is an issue
+    with where inBlocking Recv is decremented, which is right after poll,
+    where the thread would drop the lock.  The lock may also be dropped
+    during AsyncTCPSocketFillRecvBuffer, and for that there is a separate
+    inDoOneMsg flag.  This change unifies the two flags and makes
+    inBlockingRecv cover both functions that may drop the lock.  This fixes
+    the race that would allow AsyncTCPSocketRecvCallback to run when
+    AsyncTCPSocketDoOneMsg is in progress.  A couple places where we
+    previously checked inBlockingRecv to report an error now have to also
+    check inRecvLoop (TRUE during AsyncTCPSocketFillRecvBuffer) -- those
+    checks cannot be enforced during FillRecvBuffer because the client
+    callback is allowed to change the callback or cancel it.  The lone
+    usage of inDoOneMsg is switched to inBlockingRecv.

+    
+    The previous change for Poll introduced a bug in AsyncSocket.
+    When re-registering the recv callback, it needs to check whether
+    there is a concurrent blocking recv (which means the send callback
+    has detected a disconnection and is draining the pipe).  The recv
+    callback should act like a no-op in that case (other than to
+    release the reference).

+    lib/file: Hosted file locking code robustness improvement
+    
+    The hosted file locking code tosses a random number generator and
+    creates an directory name (D name) and member name (M name) that both
+    use the random number.
+    
+    If the D name cannot be created we try again until we can create one.
+    The assumption is other lockers are racing with the code. The random
+    number generator makes the chance of collisons small and soon we get
+    a D name.
+    
+    Once a D name can be created, we check if the M name exists. If it
+    does, we remove the D name and try again until we get a unique D and
+    M name. Once the M name is created, the D name is discarded.
+    
+    If we're unable to remove the D name, we could land up filling the
+    locking directory with garbage that cannot be cleaned up. Fail if
+    we're unable to remove the D entry.

+    Add support to check if a native guest time sync service is running.
+    
+    This change adds support to VMware tools timesync to identify if a guest
+    native time synchronization service is running. If a native sync service is
+    running, then a resync command is issued. If native time sync service is not
+    running, we fall back on legacy VMware tools onetime sync to do guest time
+    correction.
+    
+    We also post a callback to do legacy VMware tools onetime sync after a
+    timeout period. A timeout can be configured if guest native resync command
+    fails to sync guest time.

+    Fix some compatibility issues between bsd_vsnprintf and bsd_vsnwprintf
+    
+    Fix some compatibility issues between bsd_vsnprintf and
+    bsd_vsnwprintf so that the lib/string unit tests can have
+    consistent results.
+    
+    * bsd_vsnprintf used uppercase hexadecimal digits for %p but
+    bsd_vsnwprintf used lowercase.  vsnprintf has much more
+    inertia, so use uppercase in both.
+    
+    * bsd_vsnprintf's floating point output was adjusted for bug
+    704706, but corresponding changes were not made to
+    bsd_vsnwprintf.

+    lib/file: Continue simplifying and optimizing
+    
+    Since we're UTF8 only, there are simplifications and
+    optimizations that can be done to lib/file, particularly in the
+    routines that look for directory separators and ASCII characters like
+    '.'. We don't need to use the unicode library to deal with these
+    type of code points.
+

+
+    Fix lib/string unit tests
+    
+    Updates to lib/string.str.c and its unit tests.
+    
+    * On Linux, Str_Vsnwprintf uses vswprintf from glibc[1].
+    However, glibc's vswprintf implementation appears to be
+    broken by not NUL-terminating the destination if truncation
+    occurs.  Make Str_Vsnwprintf explicitly NUL-terminate along
+    this path.
+    
+    * The unit tests expected that Str_Vsnwprintf use %s for
+    wchar_t* arguments (and %S for char* ones).  That is a
+    Microsoft-ism (necessary for TCHAR-based printf functions
+    to use the same format strings with or without _UNICODE).
+    Our bsd_vsnwprintf function instead uses %s for char* (and
+    %S for wchar_t*).  Existing callers to Str_...wprintf use
+    use the BSD implementation and expect the BSD behavior
+    (which is consistent with standard C in this regard), so
+    go with the existing behavior and adjust the tests.
+    
+    * Some of the tests passed int arguments for floating-point
+    format specifiers.  This is undefined behavior.
+    
+    * Some of the tests had more format specifiers than
+    arguments.  More undefined behavior.
+    
+    * Finally, the existing Str_...printf tests are
+    fundamentally flawed: they compare output against the
+    system's printf functions.  However, the whole point of
+    having our own is to have consistent behavior across
+    platforms and to work around bugs; the output therefore
+    cannot be expected to consistently match.  Instead rewrite
+    the tests to compare Str_...printf output against fixed
+    strings.[2]  Additionally, enable these tests only if
+    HAS_BSD_PRINTF/HAS_BSD_WPRINTF are enabled; I see no point
+    in testing the system versions (which won't have consistent
+    output), and IMO the BSD implementations are the only ones
+    we should be supporting.
+    
+    [1] I do not understand why HAS_BSD_WPRINTF is enabled on
+    Linux only for < gcc 2.96 (and not at all for macOS).
+    This probably should be fixed, but not as part of this
+    change. (I also don't know why HAS_BSD_WPRINTF is
+    distinct from HAS_BSD_PRINTF.)
+    
+    [2] bsd_vsnwprintf is not consistent with bsd_vsnprintf for
+    all format specifiers.  I plan to deal with this later,
+    but for now, make the expected strings match the actual
+    output so we have a starting point where everything
+    passes.

+
+    Add vmx config options for guest time service resync.
+    
+    VMware tools timeSync can be enabled in a guest that also has a native
+    time service running. This can lead to race conditions when both the time
+    services are trying to correct system time. Particularly, when both of
+    these services tries to do a step correction on certain events, guest
+    time behaves in an undesirable manner that could cause guest
+    applications to fail. This change introduces a couple of vmx config options
+    that can be used to eliminate or atleast reduce the chance of race
+    condition between VMware tools timeSync and guest native time service
+    (like w32time or NTP).
+    
+    The basic idea is to utilize native time service to resynchronize and
+    recalibrate its parameters and force to do a step correction if
+    necessary. VMware tools timeSync would send a service request to native
+    guest time service when it needs to do a step correction, rather than
+    correcting system time itself. This helps in having a single service
+    responsible for correcting guest system time and eliminates/reduces race
+    condition.
+    
+    "time.synchronize.guest.resync"=<TRUE|FALSE> controls whether this new
+    method of guest time synchronization is enabled or not.
+    There might be situations where native guest time service resync request
+    is not successful. This could happen if the native time service is not
+    configured correctly or if there is an intermittent network outage, etc.
+    We would like to fall back to using legacy way of VMware tool timeSync
+    onetime correction in such failure scenarios.
+    "time.synchronize.guest.resync.timeout>=0" vmx option allows us to achieve
+    that. Tools timeSync would initiate a resync request, then wait for
+    'timeout' period of time and would fall back of legacy timeSync onetime
+    sync behavior. This allows us to correct guest time even in case of
+    native guest time service failure.
