Liviu Ionescu
a38bb0792c Add the "-semihosting-config" option.
The usual semihosting behaviour is to process the system calls locally and
return; unfortuantelly the initial implementation dinamically changed the
target to GDB during debug sessions, which, for the usual arm-none-eabi-gdb,
is not implemented. The result was that during debug sessions the semihosting
calls were discarded.

This patch adds a configuration variable and an option to set it on the
command line:

    -semihosting-config [enable=on|off,]target=native|gdb|auto

This option enables semihosting and defines where the semihosting calls will
be addressed, to QEMU ('native') or to GDB ('gdb'). The default is auto, which
means 'gdb' during debug sessions and 'native' otherwise.

e218052f92 aio / timers: De-document -clock
Commit 6d32717 "aio / timers: Remove alarm timers" has issues:

1. It silently ignores -clock for backward compatibility.
Incompatible change: -clock help no longer terminates the program.
Tolerable.

2. Failed to update option documentation.  In particular, -help still
advises users to try -clock help for available timers.  Drop all
documentation on -clock.

3. The 'query-alarm-clock' example in docs/writing-commands.txt no
longer works, and needs to be redone.  Can't do that right now, so I
just stick in a FIXME.

5cd1475d28 s390x/kvm: Several updates/fixes/features
1. s390x/kvm: avoid synchronize_rcu's in kernel
 ----------------------------------------------
 The first patches change s390x/kvm code to issue VCPU specific ioctls
 from the VCPU thread. This will avoid unnecessary synchronize_rcu in
 the kernel, which caused a noticably slowdown with many guest CPUs.
 It speeds up all start/restart/reset operations involving cpus
 drastically.
 
 2. s390-ccw.img: block size and DASD format support
 ---------------------------------------------------
 The second part changes the s390-ccw bios to IPL (boot)  more disk
 formats than before. Furthermore a small fix is made to the console
 output of the bios.
 
 3. s390: Support for Hotplug of Standby Memory
 ----------------------------------------------
 The third part adds support in s390 for a pool of standby memory,
 which can be set online/offline by the guest (ie, via chmem).
 The standby pool of memory is allocated as the difference between
 the initial memory setting and the maxmem setting.
 As part of this work, additional results are provided for the
 Read SCP Information SCLP, and new implentation is added for the
 Read Storage Element Information, Attach Storage Element,
 Assign Storage and Unassign Storage SCLPs, which enables the s390
 guest to manipulate the standby memory pool.
 
 This patchset is based on work originally done by Jeng-Fang (Nick)
 Wang.
 
 Sample qemu command snippet:
 
 qemu -machine s390-ccw-virtio  -m 1024M,maxmem=2048M,slots=32 -enable-kvm
 
 This will allocate 1024M of active memory, and another 1024M
 of standby memory.  Example output from s390-tools lsmem:
 =============================================================================
 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000fffffff        256  online   no         0-127
 0x0000000010000000-0x000000001fffffff        256  online   yes        128-255
 0x0000000020000000-0x000000003fffffff        512  online   no         256-511
 0x0000000040000000-0x000000007fffffff       1024  offline  -          512-1023
 
 Memory device size  : 2 MB
 Memory block size   : 256 MB
 Total online memory : 1024 MB
 Total offline memory: 1024 MB
 
 The guest can dynamically enable part or all of the standby pool
 via the s390-tools chmem, for example:
 
 chmem -e 512M
 
 And can attempt to dynamically disable:
 
 chmem -d 512M
 
 4. s390x/gdb: various fixes
 ---------------------------
 * Patch 1 fixes a bug where the cc was changed accidentally.
 * Patch 2 adds the gdb feature XML files for s390x
 * Patch 3 Define acr and fpr registers as coprocessor registers. This allows us
    to reuse the feature XML files.
 * Patch 4 whitespace fixes

a94f83d94f curl: Allow a cookie or cookies to be sent with http/https requests.
In order to access VMware ESX efficiently, we need to send a session
cookie.  This patch is very simple and just allows you to send that
session cookie.  It punts on the question of how you get the session
cookie in the first place, but in practice you can just run a `curl'
command against the server and extract the cookie that way.

To use it, add file.cookie to the curl URL.  For example:

$ qemu-img info 'json: {

    "file.url":"https://vcenter/folder/Windows%202003/Windows%202003-flat.vmdk?dcPath=Datacenter&dsName=datastore1",

212aefaa53 block.curl: adding 'timeout' option
The curl hardcoded timeout (5 seconds) sometimes is not long
enough depending on the remote server configuration and network
traffic. The user should be able to set how much long he is
willing to wait for the connection.

Adding a new option to set this timeout gives the user this
flexibility. The previous default timeout of 5 seconds will be
used if this option is not present.

abfd9ce341 migration: dump vmstate info as a json file for static analysis
This commit adds a new command, '-dump-vmstate', that takes a filename
as an argument.  When executed, QEMU will dump the vmstate information
for the machine type it's invoked with to the file, and quit.

The JSON-format output can then be used to compare the vmstate info for
different QEMU versions, specifically to test whether live migration
would break due to changes in the vmstate data.

A Python script that compares the output of such JSON dumps is included
in the following commit.

03ce574442 Add the vhost-user netdev backend to the command line
The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only
a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally
the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet)
will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised.

Additional checks for validity:
  - requires `-numa node,memdev=..`
  - requires `-device virtio-net-*`

The `vhostforce` option is used to force vhost-net when we deal with
non-MSIX guests.

84351843eb SMBIOS: Update Type 0 struct generator for machines >= 2.1
Update how type 0 (bios info) structures are generated, as follows:

  - convert bios_characteristics field to uin64_t (instead of
    uint8_t[8]), as described in the current smbios spec (v2.8)

  - enable "virtual machine" bit in bios_characteristics_extension_bits

  - add command line option to enable "uefi supported" bit in
    bios_characteristics_extension_bits

These updates should make this optional structure more useful when
used with edk2/ovmf. Only pc machines >= 2.1 are affected, and only
when a type 0 structure is explicitly specified on the command line.

465bee1da8 block: optimize zero writes with bdrv_write_zeroes
this patch tries to optimize zero write requests
by automatically using bdrv_write_zeroes if it is
supported by the format.

This significantly speeds up file system initialization and
should speed zero write test used to test backend storage
performance.

I ran the following 2 tests on my internal SSD with a
50G QCOW2 container and on an attached iSCSI storage.

a) mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 /dev/vdX

usually it is better to re-phrase the statement.

58952137b0 net: Adding netmap network backend
This patch adds support for a network backend based on netmap.
netmap is a framework for high speed packet I/O. You can use it
to build extremely fast traffic generators, monitors, software
switches or network middleboxes. Its companion software switch
VALE lets you interconnect virtual machines.
netmap and VALE are implemented as a non-intrusive kernel module,
support NICs from multiple vendors, are part of standard FreeBSD
distributions and available in source format for Linux too.

To compile QEMU with netmap support, use the following configure
options:
    ./configure [...] --enable-netmap --extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys
where "/path/to/netmap" contains the netmap source code, available at
    http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/

The same webpage contains more information about the netmap project
(together with papers and presentations).

"memory".  Commit 3949e59 "qemu-char: Saner naming of memchar stuff &
doc fixes" changed the driver name to "ringbuf", along with a whole
bunch of other names, with the following rationale:

    Naming is a mess.  The code calls the device driver
    CirMemCharDriver, the public API calls it "memory", "memchardev",
    or "memchar", and the special commands are named like
    "memchar-FOO".  "memory" is a particularly unfortunate choice,
    because there's another character device driver called
    MemoryDriver.  Moreover, the device's distinctive property is that
    it's a ring buffer, not that's in memory.

This is what we released in 1.4.0.

Unfortunately, the rename missed a critical instance of "memory": the
actual driver name.  Thus, the new device could be used only by an
entirely undocumented name.  The documented name did not work.
Bummer.

Commit 6a85e60 fixes this by changing the documentation to match the
code.  It also changes some, but not all related occurences of
"ringbuf" to "memory".  Left alone are identifiers in C code, HMP and
QMP commands.  The latter are external interface, so they can't be
changed.

The result is an inconsistent mess.  Moreover, "memory" is a rotten
name.  The device's distinctive property is that it's a ring buffer,
not that's in memory.  User's don't care whether it's in RAM, flash,
or carved into chocolate tablets by Oompa Loompas.

Revert the commit.  Next commit will fix just the bug.

5e2ac51917 add timestamp to error_report()
[Issue]
When we offer a customer support service and a problem happens
in a customer's system, we try to understand the problem by
comparing what the customer reports with message logs of the
customer's system.

In this case, we often need to know when the problem happens.

But, currently, there is no timestamp in qemu's error messages.
Therefore, we may not be able to understand the problem based on
error messages.

[Solution]
Add a timestamp to qemu's error message logged by
error_report() with g_time_val_to_iso8601().

02c4bdf1d2 trap signals for "-serial mon:stdio"
With mon:stdio you can exit the VM by switching to the monitor and
sending the "quit" command.  It is then useful to pass Ctrl-C to the
VM instead of exiting.

This in turn lets us stop tying the default signal handling behavior
to -nographic, removing gratuitous differences between "-display none"
and "-nographic".

This patch changes behavior for "-display none -serial mon:stdio", as
expected, but not for "-display none -serial stdio".

0057a0d590 TLS support for VNC Websockets
Added TLS support to the VNC QEMU Websockets implementation.
VNC-TLS needs to be enabled for this feature to be used.

The required certificates are specified as in case of VNC-TLS
with the VNC parameter "x509=<path>".

If the server certificate isn't signed by a rooth authority it needs to
be manually imported in the browser because at least in case of Firefox
and Chrome there is no user dialog, the connection just gets canceled.

As a side note VEncrypt over Websocket doesn't work atm because TLS can't
be stacked in the current implementation. (It also didn't work before)
Nevertheless to my knowledge there is no HTML 5 VNC client which supports
it and the Websocket connection can be encrypted with regular TLS now so
it should be fine for most use cases.

0a12ec87a5 block: Add support for Secure Shell (ssh) block device.
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=ssh://hostname/some/image

QEMU will ssh into 'hostname' and open '/some/image' which is made
available as a standard block device.

You can specify a username (ssh://user@host/...) and/or a port number
(ssh://host:port/...).  You can also use an alternate syntax using
properties (file.user, file.host, file.port, file.path).

Current limitations:

- Authentication must be done without passwords or passphrases, using
  ssh-agent.  Other authentication methods are not supported.

- Uses a single connection, instead of concurrent AIO with multiple
  SSH connections.

This is implemented using libssh2 on the client side.  The server just
requires a regular ssh daemon with sftp-server support.  Most ssh
daemons on Unix/Linux systems will work out of the box.

92dcc234ec Add support for cancelling of a TPM command
This patch adds support for cancelling an executing TPM command.
In Linux for example a user can cancel a command through the TPM's
sysfs 'cancel' entry using

echo "1" > /sysfs/class/misc/tpm0/device/cancel

This patch propagates the cancellation of a command inside a VM
to the host TPM's sysfs entry.
It also uses the possibility to cancel the command before QEMU VM
shutdown or reboot, which helps in preventing QEMU from hanging while
waiting for the completion of the command.
To relieve higher layers or users from having to determine the TPM's
cancel sysfs entry, the driver searches for the entry in well known
locations.

4549a8b7ee Add a TPM Passthrough backend driver implementation
This patch is based of off version 9 of Stefan Berger's patch series
  "QEMU Trusted Platform Module (TPM) integration"
and adds a new backend driver for it.

This patch adds a passthrough backend driver for passing commands sent to the
emulated TPM device directly to a TPM device opened on the host machine.
Thus it is possible to use a hardware TPM device in a system running on QEMU,
providing the ability to access a TPM in a special state (e.g. after a Trusted
Boot).

This functionality is being used in the acTvSM Trusted Virtualization Platform
which is available on [1].

Usage example:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0,path=/dev/tpm0 \
                     -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 \
                     -cdrom test.iso -boot d

Some notes about the host TPM:
The TPM needs to be enabled and activated. If that's not the case one
has to go through the BIOS/UEFI and enable and activate that TPM for TPM
commands to work as expected.
It may be necessary to boot the kernel using tpm_tis.force=1 in the boot
command line or 'modprobe tpm_tis force=1' in case of using it as a module.

Andreas Niederl, Stefan Berger

d1a0cf738d Support for TPM command line options
This patch adds support for TPM command line options.
The command line options supported here are

./qemu-... -tpmdev passthrough,path=<path to TPM device>,id=<id>
           -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=<id>,id=<other id>

and

./qemu-... -tpmdev help

where the latter works similar to -soundhw help and shows a list of
available TPM backends (for example 'passthrough').

Using the type parameter, the backend is chosen, i.e., 'passthrough' for the
passthrough driver. The interpretation of the other parameters along
with determining whether enough parameters were provided is pushed into
the backend driver, which needs to implement the interface function
'create' and return a TPMDriverOpts structure if the VM can be started or
'NULL' if not enough or bad parameters were provided.

Monitor support for 'info tpm' has been added. It for example prints the
following:

(qemu) info tpm
TPM devices:
 tpm0: model=tpm-tis
  \ tpm0: type=passthrough,path=/dev/tpm0,cancel-path=/sys/devices/pnp0/00:09/cancel

989b697ddd qemu-log: default to stderr for logging output
Switch the default for qemu_log logging output from "/tmp/qemu.log"
to stderr. This is an incompatible change in some sense, but logging
is mostly used for debugging purposes so it shouldn't affect production
use. The previous behaviour can be obtained by adding "-D /tmp/qemu.log"
to the command line.

This change requires us to:
 * update all the documentation/help text (we take the opportunity
   to smooth out minor inconsistencies between the phrasing in
   linux-user/bsd-user/system help messages)
 * make linux-user and bsd-user defer to qemu-log for the default
   logging destination rather than overriding it themselves
 * ensure that all logfile closing is done via qemu_log_close()
   and that that function doesn't close stderr
as well as the obvious change to the behaviour of do_qemu_set_log()
when no logfile name has been specified.

3949e59414 qemu-char: Saner naming of memchar stuff & doc fixes
New device, has never been released, so we can still improve things
without worrying about compatibility.

Naming is a mess.  The code calls the device driver CirMemCharDriver,
the public API calls it "memory", "memchardev", or "memchar", and the
special commands are named like "memchar-FOO".  "memory" is a
particularly unfortunate choice, because there's another character
device driver called MemoryDriver.  Moreover, the device's distinctive
property is that it's a ring buffer, not that's in memory.  Therefore:

* Rename CirMemCharDriver to RingBufCharDriver, and call the thing a
  "ringbuf" in the API.

* Rename QMP and HMP commands from memchar-FOO to ringbuf-FOO.

* Rename device parameter from maxcapacity to size (simple words are
  good for you).

* Clearly mark the parameter as optional in documentation.

* Fix error reporting so that chardev-add reports to current monitor,
  not stderr.

* Replace cirmem in C identifiers by ringbuf.

* Rework documentation.  Document the impact of our crappy UTF-8
  handling on reading.

* QMP examples that even work.

I could split this up into multiple commits, but they'd change the
same documentation lines multiple times.  Not worth it.

7536ee4bc3 vnc: added initial websocket protocol support
This patch adds basic Websocket Protocol version 13 - RFC 6455 - support
to QEMU VNC. Binary encoding support on the client side is mandatory.

Because of the GnuTLS requirement the Websockets implementation is
optional (--enable-vnc-ws).

To activate Websocket support the VNC option "websocket"is used, for
example "-vnc :0,websocket".
The listen port for Websocket connections is (5700 + display) so if
QEMU VNC is started with :0 the Websocket port would be 5700.
As an alternative the Websocket port could be manually specified by
using ",websocket=<port>" instead.

Parts of the implementation base on Anthony Liguori's QEMU Websocket
patch from 2010 and on Joel Martin's LibVNC Websocket implementation.

587ed6be0b qemu-config: Add new -add-fd command line option
This option can be used for passing file descriptors on the
command line.  It mirrors the existing add-fd QMP command which
allows an fd to be passed to QEMU via SCM_RIGHTS and added to an
fd set.

This can be combined with commands such as -drive to link file
descriptors in an fd set to a drive:

    qemu-kvm -add-fd fd=3,set=2,opaque="rdwr:/path/to/file"
             -add-fd fd=4,set=2,opaque="rdonly:/path/to/file"
             -drive file=/dev/fdset/2,index=0,media=disk

This example adds dups of fds 3 and 4, and the accompanying opaque
strings to the fd set with ID=2.  qemu_open() already knows how
to handle a filename of this format.  qemu_open() searches the
corresponding fd set for an fd and when it finds a match, QEMU
goes on to use a dup of that fd just like it would have used an
fd that it opened itself.

Added an option to let qemu transfer a configuration file to bios,

T have a max value of 0xffff, unit is ms.

With this option, guest will wait for a given time if not find

will not reboot, qemu passes '-1' to bios by default.

This feature need the new seabios's support.

Seabios pulls the value from the fwcfg "file" interface, this
interface is used because SeaBIOS needs a reliable way of
obtaining a name, value size, and value. It in no way requires
that there be a real file on the user's host machine.

This patch provides a way to optionally suppress spurious interrupts,

Some old operating systems do not handle spurious interrupts well,
and qemu tends to generate them significantly more often than
real hardware.

Examples:
  - Microport UNIX System V/386 v 2.1 (ca 1987)
    (The main problem I'm fixing: Without this patch, it panics
    sporadically when accessing the hard disk.)
  - AT&T UNIX System V/386 Release 4.0 Version 2.1a (ca 1991)

    http://www.claunia.com/qemu/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=9

482f7bf86b vga: add some optional CGA compatibility hacks
This patch adds some optional compatibility hacks (default
disabled) to allow Microport UNIX to function under qemu.

I've tried to structure it to be easy to add more hacks for other
old CGA programs, if anyone ever needs them.

Microport UNIX System V/386 v 2.1 (ca 1987) tries to program
the CGA registers directly with neither the assistance of BIOS, nor
with proper handling of EGA/VGA-only registers.  Note that it didn't
work on real VGA hardware, either (although in that case, the most
obvious problems seemed to be out-of-range hsync and/or vsync
signalling, rather than the issues in this patch).

Eventually real MDA and/or CGA support might provide an alternative to
this patch, although a hybrid approach like this patch might still
be useful in marginal cases.

Add a new '[,dump-guest-core=on|off]' option to the '-machine' option. When

The default behavior continues to be to include guest memory when a core dump is
triggered. In my testing, this brought the core dump size down from 384MB to 6MB
on a 2GB guest.

Is anything additional required to preserve this setting for migration or

31459f463a iscsi: Pick default initiator-name based on the name of the VM
This patch updates the iscsi layer to automatically pick a 'unique'
initiator-name based on the name of the vm in case the user has not set
an explicit iqn-name to use.

Create a new function qemu_get_vm_name() that returns the name of the VM,
if specified.

This way we can thus create default names to use as the initiator name
based on the guest session.

If the VM is not named via the '-name' command line argument, the iscsi
initiator-name used wiull simply be

    iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm

If a name for the VM was specified with the '-name' option, iscsi will
use a default initiatorname of

    iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm:<name>

These names are just the default iscsi initiator name that qemu will
generate/use only when the user has not set an explicit initiator name
via the commandlines or config files.

0f66998ff6 vnc: disable VNC password authentication (security type 2) when in FIPS mode
FIPS 140-2 requires disabling certain ciphers, including DES, which is used
by VNC to obscure passwords when they are sent over the network.  The
solution for FIPS users is to disable the use of VNC password auth when the
host system is operating in FIPS compliance mode and the user has specified
'-enable-fips' on the QEMU command line.

This patch causes QEMU to emit a message to stderr when the host system is
running in FIPS mode and a VNC password was specified on the commend line.
If the system is not running in FIPS mode, or is running in FIPS mode but
VNC password authentication was not requested, QEMU operates normally.

rather than being (undocumentedly) treated the same way as "?".

Update the documentation to use 'help' rather than '?', since '?'
is a shell metacharacter and thus prone to fail confusingly if there
is a single character filename in the current working directory and
the '?' has not been escaped. It's therefore better to steer users
towards 'help', though '?' is retained for backwards compatibility.

We do not, however, update the output of the system emulator's -help
(or any documentation autogenerated from the qemu-options.hx which
is the source of the -help text) because libvirt parses our -help
output and will break. At a later date when QEMU provides a better
interface so libvirt can avoid having to do this, we can update the
-help text too.

b412eb61bf slirp: add 'cmd:' target for guestfwd
When using guestfwd=, Qemu only connects the virtual server's TCP port
to a single chardev. This is useless in most cases, as we usually want
to have more than a single connection from the guest to the outside world.

This patch adds a new cmd: target to guestfwd= that allows for execution
of a command on every TCP connection. This leverages the same code as
the -smb parameter, just that here the command is user defined.

c7f0f3b1c8 qtest: add test framework
The idea behind qtest is pretty simple.  Instead of executing a CPU via TCG or
KVM, rely on an external process to send events to the device model that the CPU
would normally generate.

qtest presents itself as an accelerator.  In addition, a new option is added to
establish a qtest server (-qtest) that takes a character device.  This is what
allows the external process to send CPU events to the device model.

qtest uses a simple line based protocol to send the events.  Documentation of
that protocol is in qtest.c.

I considered reusing the monitor for this job.  Adding interrupts would be a bit
difficult.  In addition, logging would also be difficult.

qtest has extensive logging support.  All protocol commands are logged with
time stamps using a new command line option (-qtest-log).  Logging is important
since ultimately, this is a feature for debugging.

8cf364898c vnc: implement shared flag handling.
VNC clients send a shared flag in the client init message.  Up to now
qemu completely ignores this.  This patch implements shared flag
handling.  It comes with three policies:  By default qemu behaves as one
would expect:  Asking for a exclusive access grants exclusive access to
the client connecting.  There is also a desktop sharing mode which
disallows exclusive connects (so one forgetting -shared wouldn't drop
everybody else) and a compatibility mode which mimics the traditional
(but non-conforming) qemu behavior.

f9dadc9855 iSCSI: add configuration variables for iSCSI
This patch adds configuration variables for iSCSI to set
initiator-name to use when logging in to the target,
which type of header-digest to negotiate with the target
and username and password for CHAP authentication.

This allows specifying a initiator-name either from the command line
-iscsi initiator-name=iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
or from a configuration file included with -readconfig
    [iscsi]
      initiator-name = iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
      header-digest = CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
      user = CHAP username
      password = CHAP password

If you use several different targets, you can also configure this on a per
target basis by using a group name:
    [iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
    ...

The configuration file can be read using -readconfig.
Example :
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=iscsi://127.0.0.1/iqn.ronnie.test/1
 -readconfig iscsi.conf

a7c36ee492 Add support for net bridge
The most common use of -net tap is to connect a tap device to a bridge.  This
requires the use of a script and running qemu as root in order to allocate a
tap device to pass to the script.

This model is great for portability and flexibility but it's incredibly
difficult to eliminate the need to run qemu as root.  The only really viable
mechanism is to use tunctl to create a tap device, attach it to a bridge as
root, and then hand that tap device to qemu.  The problem with this mechanism
is that it requires administrator intervention whenever a user wants to create
a guest.

By essentially writing a helper that implements the most common qemu-ifup
script that can be safely given cap_net_admin, we can dramatically simplify
things for non-privileged users.  We still support existing -net tap options
as a mechanism for advanced users and backwards compatibility.

Currently, this is very Linux centric but there's really no reason why it
couldn't be extended for other Unixes.

A typical invocation would be similar to one of the following:

  qemu linux.img -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper"
                 -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

  qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper",id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

The default bridge that we attach to is br0.  The thinking is that a distro
could preconfigure such an interface to allow out-of-the-box bridged networking.

Alternatively, if a user wants to use a different bridge, a typical invocation
would be simliar to one of the following:

  qemu linux.img -net bridge,br=qemubr0 -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0"
                 -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

  qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0",id=hn0

3a846906c9 qemu-options: avoid #if in spicevmc texi help
Preprocessor directives cannot be used in STEXI/ETEXI sections since
they are not passed through the preprocessor.  The spicevmc chardev
option help currently uses #if, which is included verbatim in the man
page output.

Fix this by simply stating that spicevmc chardevs are available only in
builds with spice support.

92196b2f56 block: add cache=directsync parameter to -drive
This patch adds -drive cache=directsync for O_DIRECT | O_SYNC host file
I/O with no disk write cache presented to the guest.

This mode is useful when guests may not be sending flushes when
appropriate and therefore leave data at risk in case of power failure.
When cache=directsync is used, write operations are only completed to
the guest when data is safely on disk.

This new mode is like cache=writethrough but it bypasses the host page
cache.

it's still possible to specify header fields as before.

Added options to let qemu transfer two configuration files to bios:
"bootsplash.bmp" and "etc/boot-menu-wait", which could be specified by command
    -boot splash=P,splash-time=T
P is jpg/bmp file name or an absolute path, T have a max value of 0xffff, unit
is ms. With these two options, if user invoke qemu with menu=on option, then
a splash picture would be showed in a given time. For example:
    qemu -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000
would make boot.bmp shown as a brand with 5 seconds in the booting up process.
This feature need the new seabios's support, which could be got from git.

48b3ed0a68 spice: add SASL support
Turn on SASL support by appending "sasl" to the spice arguments, which
requires that the client use SASL to authenticate with the spice.  The
exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the
system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This
is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an
unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used
to make it search alternate locations for the service config.  While
some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI),
it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and
'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This
ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication
credentials.

It requires support from spice 0.8.1.

separate them by a colon. QEMU will try each one and use the first whose
works.

So,
./qemu -machine accel=xen:kvm:tcg

which would try Xen support first, then KVM and finally TCG if none of
the other works.

By default, QEMU will use TCG. But we can specify another default in the

qxl is a paravirtual graphics card.  The qxl device is the bridge
between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server).  The
spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which
will actually render them.

The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case
the guest wants read something from video memory.  Local rendering is
also used to support display over vnc and sdl.

qxl is activated using "-vga qxl".  qxl supports multihead, additional
cards can be added via '-device qxl".

6c6b6ba20a move 'unsafe' to end of caching modes in help
Libvirt parses qemu help output to determine qemu features. In particular
it probes for the following: "cache=writethrough|writeback|none". The
addition of the unsafe cache mode was inserted within this string, as
opposed to being added to the end, which impacted libvirt's probe.
Unbreak libvirt by keeping the existing cache modes intact and add
unsafe to the end.

This problem only manifests itself if a caching mode is explicitly
specified in the libvirt xml, in which case older syntax for caching is
passed to qemu, which it  no longer understands.

9ce56db6f0 virtio-9p: Introduces an option to specify the security model.
The new option is:

-fsdev fstype,id=myid,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough]
-virtfs fstype,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough],mnt_tag=tag

In the case of mapped security model, files are created with QEMU user
credentials and the client-user's credentials are saved in extended attributes.
Whereas in the case of passthrough security model, files on the
filesystem are directly created with client-user's credentials.

016f5cf6ff Add cache=unsafe parameter to -drive
Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we
don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache.

So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache
policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe",
as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore.

This patch also adds a noop function for aio, so we can do nothing in AIO
fashion.

3d54abc7b7 virtio-9p: Create a syntactic shortcut for the file-system pass-thru
Currently the commandline to create a virtual-filesystem pass-through between
the guest and the host is as follows:
#qemu -fsdev fstype,id=ID,path=path/to/share \
      -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=ID,mount_tag=tag \

This patch provides a syntactic short-cut to achieve the same as follows:
#qemu -virtfs fstype,path=path/to/share,mount_tag=tag

This will be internally expanded as:
#qemu -fsdev fstype,id=tag,path=path/to/share, \
      -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=tag,mount_tag=tag \

98b19252cf virtio-console: qdev conversion, new virtio-serial-bus
This commit converts the virtio-console device to create a new
virtio-serial bus that can host console and generic serial ports. The
file hosting this code is now called virtio-serial-bus.c.

The virtio console is now a very simple qdev device that sits on the
virtio-serial-bus and communicates between the bus and qemu's chardevs.

This commit also includes a few changes to the virtio backing code for
pci and s390 to spawn the virtio-serial bus.

As a result of the qdev conversion, we get rid of a lot of legacy code.
The old-style way of instantiating a virtio console using

    -virtioconsole ...

is maintained, but the new, preferred way is to use

    -device virtio-serial -device virtconsole,chardev=...

With this commit, multiple devices as well as multiple ports with a
single device can be supported.

For multiple ports support, each port gets an IO vq pair. Since the
guest needs to know in advance how many vqs a particular device will
need, we have to set this number as a property of the virtio-serial
device and also as a config option.

In addition, we also spawn a pair of control IO vqs. This is an internal
channel meant for guest-host communication for things like port
open/close, sending port properties over to the guest, etc.

This commit is a part of a series of other commits to get the full
implementation of multiport support. Future commits will add other
support as well as ride on the savevm version that we bump up here.

c9f398e53f debugcon: support for debugging consoles (e.g. Bochs port 0xe9)
Add generic support for debugging consoles (simple I/O ports which
when written to cause debugging output to be written to a target.)
The current implementation matches Bochs' port 0xe9, allowing the same
debugging code to be used for both Bochs and Qemu.

There is no vm state associated with the debugging port, simply
because it has none -- the entire interface is a single, stateless,
write-only port.

Most of the code was cribbed from the serial port driver.

v2: removed non-ISA variants (they can be introduced when/if someone
wants them, using code from the serial port); added configurable
readback (Bochs returns 0xe9 on a read from this register, mimic that
by default)  This retains the apparently somewhat controversial user
friendly option, however.

v3: reimplemented the user friendly option as a synthetic option
("-debugcon foo" basically ends up being a parser-level shorthand for
"-chardev stdio,id=debugcon -device isa-debugcon,chardev=debugcon") --
this dramatically reduced the complexity while keeping the same level
of user friendliness.

v4: spaces, not tabs.

v5: update to match current top of tree.  Calling qemu_chr_open()
already during parsing no longer works; defer until we are parsing the
other console-like devices.
