* vm/vmware: improve kernel log collection and VM managementRadoslav Gerganov2020-10-301-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | * Collecting kernel logs with dmesg over ssh doesn't work well and sometimes we miss call traces when a crash occurs. Getting the kernel log from a virtual serial port is much more effective. * Creating linked clone VMs is faster then full clone VMs but it requires snapshot management and this will bring more complexity to syzkaller. Keep it simple and create full clone VMs for now. * Use host-only networking because the VM gets its IP faster that way
* vm: implement the VM interface for VMware WorkstationRadoslav Gerganov2020-10-101-1/+33
| | | | | | | Use the "vmrun" utility to manage Workstation VMs. The syzkaller manager creates temporary VMs (linked clones) from a base image, gets their IP address and uses ssh to deploy and run programs (similar to the isolated mode).
* docs/linux: add instructions for fuzzing on VMware hosted hypervisorsRadoslav Gerganov2020-09-231-0/+79
Add new page for fuzzing x86-64 Linux kernel on VMware VMs. It explains how to create a VMDK image and how to run it on Ubuntu host with Workstation installed. For now only the isolated mode of syzkaller is supported.
