According to Microsoft documentation, the signature in the standard hypervisor CPUID leaf at 0x40000000 identifies the Vendor ID and is for reporting and diagnostic purposes only. We can therefore allow the user to change it to whatever they want, within the 12 character limit. Add a new hyperv-vendor-id option to the -cpu flag to allow for this, ex: -cpu host,hv_time,hv_vendor_id=KeenlyKVM Link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/hh975392 Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v2: Replace abort() with truncating the string, error report updated Igor also had the idea of creating a DEFINE_PROP_STRING_LEN property where we could enforce the length earlier in the parameter checking. If we like that idea, we probably need to do it first since we don't want to switch from truncating to erroring between releases. I can work on that if preferred.
