    [patch] Support for kernel 6.0.2 (Parallel Tools 18.0.2.53077)

    Hi, everyone! You guessed it, I updated my Arch Linux and got a new kernel which is not compatible with the latest Parallels Tools. Attached is a patch to the tools, so the modules compile against kernel v6.

    [patch] Support for kernel 5.18 (Parallel Tools 17.1.4.51567)

    I am late to the party (did not have time to update my kernel in time), so the attached patch was not created by me, but by somebody else. Thanks goes to @MichelH3 for providing a link. The patch was reviewed, reworked to have conditionals on the kernel version, it applies cleanly to the...

    [patch] Support for kernel 5.17 (Parallels Tools 17.1.2.51548)

    Hello, Once again, the time has come when a new kernel has been released and yet the official latest tools do not yet support it, so here is a patch that addresses the compatibility with kernels 5.17+. It is a very small patch that reflects a change for `PDE_DATA()` being renamed to...

    Patch for Kernel 5.6

    Today I updated my Arch Linux and got kernel 5.6.3. DKMS complained that it can't rebuild Parallel Tools, so I investigated. In kernel 5.6 there was a major change to the procfs interface (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11363867/). Long story short, the attached file is a patch against...

    Windows Spectre and Meltdown on Guest VMS

    When will Parallels release a update to patch the Spectre and Meltdown on Windows VM. The host is already patched but the hardware test of Spectre still fails. This is the link to the powershell that does this check and fails due to the OEM firmware which would be Parallels...
