This patch allows to connect Qemu using NBD protocol to an nbd-server
using named exports.
For instance, if on the host "isoserver", in /etc/nbd-server/config, you have:
[generic]
[debian-500-ppc-netinst]
exportname = /ISO/debian-500-powerpc-netinst.iso
[Fedora-10-ppc-netinst]
exportname = /ISO/Fedora-10-ppc-netinst.iso
You can connect to it, using:
qemu -cdrom nbd:isoserver:exportname=debian-500-ppc-netinst
qemu -cdrom nbd:isoserver:exportname=Fedora-10-ppc-netinst
NOTE: you need at least nbd-server 2.9.18

At least for Linux distributions UTF-8 is now standard,
so the QEMU documentation should use this encoding, too.
Even if there was currently only a single special character
using ISO-8859-1, this might change in the future.
So the texinfo keywords @documentlanguage and
@documentencoding now document the language and the
encoding. The special character was changed to UTF-8
(it could also have been changed to an x, but the
original cross looks really nice if it is displayed

This patch introduces a generic internal API for access control lists
to be used by network servers in QEMU. It adds support for checking
these ACL in the VNC server, in two places. The first ACL is for the
SASL authentication mechanism, checking the SASL username. This ACL
is called 'vnc.username'. The second is for the TLS authentication
mechanism, when x509 client certificates are turned on, checking against
the Distinguished Name of the client. This ACL is called 'vnc.x509dname'
The internal API provides for an ACL with the following characteristics
- A unique name, eg vnc.username, and vnc.x509dname.
- A default policy, allow or deny
- An ordered series of match rules, with allow or deny policy
If none of the match rules apply, then the default policy is
used.
There is a monitor API to manipulate the ACLs, which I'll describe via
examples
(qemu) acl show vnc.username
policy: allow
(qemu) acl policy vnc.username denya
acl: policy set to 'deny'
(qemu) acl allow vnc.username fred
acl: added rule at position 1
(qemu) acl allow vnc.username bob
acl: added rule at position 2
(qemu) acl allow vnc.username joe 1
acl: added rule at position 1
(qemu) acl show vnc.username
policy: deny
0: allow fred
1: allow joe
2: allow bob
(qemu) acl show vnc.x509dname
policy: allow
(qemu) acl policy vnc.x509dname deny
acl: policy set to 'deny'
(qemu) acl allow vnc.x509dname C=GB,O=ACME,L=London,CN=*
acl: added rule at position 1
(qemu) acl allow vnc.x509dname C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob
acl: added rule at position 2
(qemu) acl show vnc.x509dname
policy: deny
0: allow C=GB,O=ACME,L=London,CN=*
1: allow C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob
By default the VNC server will not use any ACLs, allowing access to
the server if the user successfully authenticates. To enable use of
ACLs to restrict user access, the ',acl' flag should be given when
starting QEMU. The initial ACL activated will be a 'deny all' policy
and should be customized using monitor commands.
eg enable SASL auth and ACLs
qemu .... -vnc localhost:1,sasl,acl
The next patch will provide a way to load a pre-defined ACL when
starting up

This patch adds the new SASL authentication protocol to the VNC server.
It is enabled by setting the 'sasl' flag when launching VNC. SASL can
optionally provide encryption via its SSF layer, if a suitable mechanism
is configured (eg, GSSAPI/Kerberos, or Digest-MD5). If an SSF layer is
not available, then it should be combined with the x509 VNC authentication
protocol which provides encryption.
eg, if using GSSAPI
qemu -vnc localhost:1,sasl
eg if using TLS/x509 for encryption
qemu -vnc localhost:1,sasl,tls,x509
By default the Cyrus SASL library will look for its configuration in
the file /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. For non-root users, this can be overridden
by setting the SASL_CONF_PATH environment variable, eg to make it look in
$HOME/.sasl2. NB unprivileged users may not have access to the full range
of SASL mechanisms, since some of them require some administrative privileges
to configure. The patch includes an example SASL configuration file which
illustrates config for GSSAPI and Digest-MD5, though it should be noted that
the latter is not really considered secure any more.
Most of the SASL authentication code is located in a separate source file,
vnc-auth-sasl.c. The main vnc.c file only contains minimal integration
glue, specifically parsing of command line flags / setup, and calls to
start the SASL auth process, to do encoding/decoding for data.
There are several possible stacks for reading & writing of data, depending
on the combo of VNC authentication methods in use
- Clear. read/write straight to socket
- TLS. read/write via GNUTLS helpers
- SASL. encode/decode via SASL SSF layer, then read/write to socket
- SASL+TLS. encode/decode via SASL SSF layer, then read/write via GNUTLS
Hence, the vnc_client_read & vnc_client_write methods have been refactored
a little.
vnc_client_read: main entry point for reading, calls either
- vnc_client_read_plain reading, with no intermediate decoding
- vnc_client_read_sasl reading, with SASL SSF decoding
These two methods, then call vnc_client_read_buf(). This decides
whether to write to the socket directly or write via GNUTLS.
The situation is the same for writing data. More extensive comments
have been added in the code / patch. The vnc_client_read_sasl and
vnc_client_write_sasl method implementations live in the separate
vnc-auth-sasl.c file.
The state required for the SASL auth mechanism is kept in a separate
VncStateSASL struct, defined in vnc-auth-sasl.h and included in the
main VncState.
The configure script probes for SASL and automatically enables it
if found, unless --disable-vnc-sasl was given to override it.

After my last patch to fix interrupt coalescing was rejected
on the basis that it is too intrusive we decided to make the
fix much more localized and only fix the problem for RTC time
source. Unfortunately it is impossible to fix the problem entirely
inside RTC code like Andrzej proposed since Windows reads RTC
register C more then once on each time interrupt so it is impossible
to count reliably how many interrupt windows actually handled.
Proposed solution is localized to I386 target and is disabled by
default. To enable it "-rtc-td-hack" flag should be used.

qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update. This causes
performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback. This is most
noticeable when using savevm. Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format
regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in
the correct order. Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use
writeback caching by default with qcow2 files.
It at least avoids the massive performance regression for users until we sort
out the issues in qcow2.

It is possible for a guest with a raw formatted disk image to write a
header to that disk image describing another format (such as qcow2).
Stopping and subsequent restart of the guest will cause qemu to detect
that format, and could allow the guest to read any host file if qemu is
sufficiently privileged (typical in virt environments).
The patch defaults to existing behaviour (probing based on file contents),
so it still requires the mgmt app (e.g. libvirt xml) to pass a new
"format=raw" parameter for raw disk images.
