# = QEMU Object Model (QOM)
##
##
# @ObjectPropertyInfo:
#
# @name: the name of the property
#
# @type: the type of the property. This will typically come in one of
# four forms:
#
# 1) A primitive type such as 'u8', 'u16', 'bool', 'str', or
# 'double'. These types are mapped to the appropriate JSON
# type.
#
# 2) A child type in the form 'child<subtype>' where subtype is a
# qdev device type name. Child properties create the
# composition tree.
#
# 3) A link type in the form 'link<subtype>' where subtype is a
# qdev device type name. Link properties form the device model
# graph.
#
# @description: if specified, the description of the property.
#
# @default-value: the default value, if any (since 5.0)
#
# Since: 1.2

##
# @qom-list:
#
# This command will list any properties of a object given a path in
# the object model.
#
# @path: the path within the object model. See @qom-get for a
# description of this parameter.
#
# Returns: a list of @ObjectPropertyInfo that describe the properties
# of the object.
#
# Since: 1.2
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "qom-list",
# "arguments": { "path": "/chardevs" } }
# <- { "return": [ { "name": "type", "type": "string" },
# { "name": "parallel0", "type": "child<chardev-vc>" },

##
# @qom-get:
#
# This command will get a property from a object model path and return
# the value.
#
# @path: The path within the object model. There are two forms of
# supported paths--absolute and partial paths.
#
# Absolute paths are derived from the root object and can follow
# child<> or link<> properties. Since they can follow link<>
# properties, they can be arbitrarily long. Absolute paths look
# like absolute filenames and are prefixed with a leading slash.
#
# Partial paths look like relative filenames. They do not begin
# with a prefix. The matching rules for partial paths are subtle
# but designed to make specifying objects easy. At each level of
# the composition tree, the partial path is matched as an absolute
# path. The first match is not returned. At least two matches
# are searched for. A successful result is only returned if only
# one match is found. If more than one match is found, a flag is
# return to indicate that the match was ambiguous.
#
# @property: The property name to read
#
# Returns: The property value. The type depends on the property type.
# child<> and link<> properties are returned as #str pathnames.
# All integer property types (u8, u16, etc) are returned as #int.
#
# Since: 1.2
#
# Examples:
#
# 1. Use absolute path
#
# -> { "execute": "qom-get",
# "arguments": { "path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]",
# "property": "hotplugged" } }
# <- { "return": false }
#
# 2. Use partial path

# "arguments": { "path": "unattached/sysbus",
# "property": "type" } }
# <- { "return": "System" }

Introduce event-loop-base abstract class Introduce the 'event-loop-base' abstract class, it'll hold the properties common to all event loops and provide the necessary hooks for their creation and maintenance. Then have iothread inherit from it. EventLoopBaseClass is defined as user creatable and provides a hook for its children to attach themselves to the user creatable class 'complete' function. It also provides an update_params() callback to propagate property changes onto its children. The new 'event-loop-base' class will live in the root directory. It is built on its own using the 'link_whole' option (there are no direct function dependencies between the class and its children, it all happens trough 'constructor' magic). And also imposes new compilation dependencies: qom <- event-loop-base <- blockdev (iothread.c) And in subsequent patches: qom <- event-loop-base <- qemuutil (util/main-loop.c) All this forced some amount of reordering in meson.build: - Moved qom build definition before qemuutil. Doing it the other way around (i.e. moving qemuutil after qom) isn't possible as a lot of core libraries that live in between the two depend on it. - Process the 'hw' subdir earlier, as it introduces files into the 'qom' source set. No functional changes intended.

Doing it the other way around (i.e. moving qemuutil after qom) isn't possible as a lot of core libraries that live in between the two depend on it. - Process the 'hw' subdir earlier, as it introduces files into the 'qom' source set. No functional changes intended.

backends/hostmem-file: Add "rom" property to support VM templating with R/O files For now, "share=off,readonly=on" would always result in us opening the file R/O and mmap'ing the opened file MAP_PRIVATE R/O -- effectively turning it into ROM. Especially for VM templating, "share=off" is a common use case. However, that use case is impossible with files that lack write permissions, because "share=off,readonly=on" will not give us writable RAM. The sole user of ROM via memory-backend-file are R/O NVDIMMs, but as we have users (Kata Containers) that rely on the existing behavior -- malicious VMs should not be able to consume COW memory for R/O NVDIMMs -- we cannot change the semantics of "share=off,readonly=on" So let's add a new "rom" property with on/off/auto values. "auto" is the default and what most people will use: for historical reasons, to not change the old semantics, it defaults to the value of the "readonly" property. For VM templating, one can now use: -object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=on,rom=off,... But we'll disallow: -object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=on,rom=off,... because we would otherwise get an error when trying to mmap the R/O file shared and writable. An explicit error message is cleaner. We will also disallow for now: -object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=off,rom=on,... -object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=off,rom=on,... It's not harmful, but also not really required for now. Alternatives that were abandoned: * Make "unarmed=on" for the NVDIMM set the memory region container readonly. We would still see a change of ROM->RAM and possibly run into memslot limits with vhost-user. Further, there might be use cases for "unarmed=on" that should still allow writing to that memory (temporary files, system RAM, ...). * Add a new "readonly=on/off/auto" parameter for NVDIMMs. Similar issues as with "unarmed=on". * Make "readonly" consume "on/off/file" instead of being a 'bool' type. This would slightly changes the behavior of the "readonly" parameter: values like true/false (as accepted by a 'bool'type) would no longer be accepted.

util: Introduce ThreadContext user-creatable object Setting the CPU affinity of QEMU threads is a bit problematic, because QEMU doesn't always have permissions to set the CPU affinity itself, for example, with seccomp after initialized by QEMU: -sandbox enable=on,resourcecontrol=deny General information about CPU affinities can be found in the man page of taskset: CPU affinity is a scheduler property that "bonds" a process to a given set of CPUs on the system. The Linux scheduler will honor the given CPU affinity and the process will not run on any other CPUs. While upper layers are already aware of how to handle CPU affinities for long-lived threads like iothreads or vcpu threads, especially short-lived threads, as used for memory-backend preallocation, are more involved to handle. These threads are created on demand and upper layers are not even able to identify and configure them. Introduce the concept of a ThreadContext, that is essentially a thread used for creating new threads. All threads created via that context thread inherit the configured CPU affinity. Consequently, it's sufficient to create a ThreadContext and configure it once, and have all threads created via that ThreadContext inherit the same CPU affinity. The CPU affinity of a ThreadContext can be configured two ways: (1) Obtaining the thread id via the "thread-id" property and setting the CPU affinity manually (e.g., via taskset). (2) Setting the "cpu-affinity" property and letting QEMU try set the CPU affinity itself. This will fail if QEMU doesn't have permissions to do so anymore after seccomp was initialized. A simple QEMU example to set the CPU affinity to host CPU 0,1,6,7 would be: qemu-system-x86_64 -S \ -object thread-context,id=tc1,cpu-affinity=0-1,cpu-affinity=6-7 And we can query it via HMP/QMP: (qemu) qom-get tc1 cpu-affinity [ 0, 1, 6, 7 ] But note that due to dynamic library loading this example will not work before we actually make use of thread_context_create_thread() in QEMU code, because the type will otherwise not get registered. We'll wire this up next to make it work. In general, the interface behaves like pthread_setaffinity_np(): host CPU numbers that are currently not available are ignored; only host CPU numbers that are impossible with the current kernel will fail. If the list of host CPU numbers does not include a single CPU that is available, setting the CPU affinity will fail. A ThreadContext can be reused, simply by reconfiguring the CPU affinity. Note that the CPU affinity of previously created threads will not get adjusted.

util: Introduce ThreadContext user-creatable object Setting the CPU affinity of QEMU threads is a bit problematic, because QEMU doesn't always have permissions to set the CPU affinity itself, for example, with seccomp after initialized by QEMU: -sandbox enable=on,resourcecontrol=deny General information about CPU affinities can be found in the man page of taskset: CPU affinity is a scheduler property that "bonds" a process to a given set of CPUs on the system. The Linux scheduler will honor the given CPU affinity and the process will not run on any other CPUs. While upper layers are already aware of how to handle CPU affinities for long-lived threads like iothreads or vcpu threads, especially short-lived threads, as used for memory-backend preallocation, are more involved to handle. These threads are created on demand and upper layers are not even able to identify and configure them. Introduce the concept of a ThreadContext, that is essentially a thread used for creating new threads. All threads created via that context thread inherit the configured CPU affinity. Consequently, it's sufficient to create a ThreadContext and configure it once, and have all threads created via that ThreadContext inherit the same CPU affinity. The CPU affinity of a ThreadContext can be configured two ways: (1) Obtaining the thread id via the "thread-id" property and setting the CPU affinity manually (e.g., via taskset). (2) Setting the "cpu-affinity" property and letting QEMU try set the CPU affinity itself. This will fail if QEMU doesn't have permissions to do so anymore after seccomp was initialized. A simple QEMU example to set the CPU affinity to host CPU 0,1,6,7 would be: qemu-system-x86_64 -S \ -object thread-context,id=tc1,cpu-affinity=0-1,cpu-affinity=6-7 And we can query it via HMP/QMP: (qemu) qom-get tc1 cpu-affinity [ 0, 1, 6, 7 ] But note that due to dynamic library loading this example will not work before we actually make use of thread_context_create_thread() in QEMU code, because the type will otherwise not get registered. We'll wire this up next to make it work. In general, the interface behaves like pthread_setaffinity_np(): host CPU numbers that are currently not available are ignored; only host CPU numbers that are impossible with the current kernel will fail. If the list of host CPU numbers does not include a single CPU that is available, setting the CPU affinity will fail. A ThreadContext can be reused, simply by reconfiguring the CPU affinity. Note that the CPU affinity of previously created threads will not get adjusted.
