+
+ Panic_[GS]etCoreFileName have been dead code for a very long time.
+
+ This change removes them, along with the underlying panicState.coreDumpFile
+ field. Also, do some reformatting and tidy a few comments.

+ Linux guest identification: Make the code more robust.
+
+ The code to read and parse the os-release data isn't doing a good job
+ of protecting the tools daemon. Fixed this.
+ - do not depend on sscanf.
+ - bound the size of parameters;
+ - better checking for syntax errors.

+ Components managed by the componentMgr plugin are often optional.

+ [TimeInfo] Handle notifications and get updates
+
+ TimeInfo, which is part of TimeSync plugin, can be
+ used to query, set, subscribe, and receive updates for
+ time-related information from the host when guest is
+ using precisionclock to consume time from the host.
+ Previous changes laid foundation to subscribe and
+ unsubscribe for TimeInfo updates in open-vm-tools during
+ init/shutdown.
+
+ When open-vm-tools subscribes for TimeInfo updates, VMX
+ will send a notification GuestRPC to tools if and
+ when the timing properties change. This change
+ adds support to handle such GuestRPCs from VMX.
+ The handler for the GuestRPC is pretty straightforward
+ for now: it queues an async task that simply gets
+ all updates and logs them.

+ Limit retry if the VMX RESETs a vsock connection
+
+ If guest_rpc.rpci.usevsocket = "FALSE" is set, a vsock
+ connect() will always fail with RESET. This confused code that
+ thought it could only happen for secure sockets when they
+ were quickly re-used.
+
+ Limit retry, and only for secure connections.

+ [TimeInfo] Subscribe/unsubscribe to notifications during init/shutdown
+
+ This change adds support for subscribing to time info notifications
+ when this feature is enabled in the tools. As a result VMX will
+ send time info notifications to the tools when host timing
+ properties change. The change adds support to perform subscribe/
+ unsubscribe GuestRPCs from tools. Note that, handling of notification
+ (received from VMX) will be implemented in the next change.

+
+ [TimeInfo] Introduce TimeInfo in TimeSync plugin
+
+ This change lays a foundation for upcoming changes to
+ support TimeInfo feature in open-vm-tools. TimeInfo feature
+ is introduced as part of TimeSync plugin and can be
+ used to query, set, subscribe, and receive updates for
+ time-related information from the host when guest is
+ using precisionclock to consume time from the host.
+
+ This change simply adds a new file and basic init/shutdown
+ routines which are called as part of TimeSync plugin
+ load/unload. The change also introduces a config option
+ to enable/disable this feature (default is off). The
+ feature is Linux-only for now.
+
+ Upcoming changes will add support for subscribing and
+ receiving TimeInfo updates.

+ Enhance the guest identification code for Linux
+
+ The Linux guest identification code is enhanced to return two
+ additional fields (when a distro makes them available):
+
+ 1) The VERSION field
+
+ This field sometimes contains additional information not
+ found in other fields. For instance, on SLES, this provides
+ the patch level information.
+
+ 2) The CPE_NAME field
+
+ This is the NIST Common Platform Enumeration Specification
+ string. If present, this may provide information in a
+ standardized form.
