When a file supporting DAX is used as vNVDIMM backend, mmap it with
MAP_SYNC flag in addition which can ensure file system metadata
synced in each guest writes to the backend file, without other QEMU
actions (e.g., periodic fsync() by QEMU).
Current, We have below different possible use cases:
1. pmem=on is set, shared=on is set, MAP_SYNC supported:
a: backend is a dax supporting file.
- MAP_SYNC will active.
b: backend is not a dax supporting file.
- mmap will trigger a warning. then MAP_SYNC flag will be ignored
2. The rest of cases:
- we will never pass the MAP_SYNC to mmap2

Currently any client which can complete the TLS handshake is able to use
a chardev server. The server admin can turn on the 'verify-peer' option
for the x509 creds to require the client to provide a x509
certificate. This means the client will have to acquire a certificate
from the CA before they are permitted to use the chardev server. This is
still a fairly low bar.
This adds a 'tls-authz=OBJECT-ID' option to the socket chardev backend
which takes the ID of a previously added 'QAuthZ' object instance. This
will be used to validate the client's x509 distinguished name. Clients
failing the check will not be permitted to use the chardev server.
For example to setup authorization that only allows connection from a
client whose x509 certificate distinguished name contains 'CN=fred', you
would use:
$QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\
endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \
-object authz-simple,id=authz0,identity=CN=laptop.example.com,,\

The VNC server has historically had support for ACLs to check both the
SASL username and the TLS x509 distinguished name. The VNC server was
responsible for creating the initial ACL, and the client app was then
responsible for populating it with rules using the HMP 'acl_add' command.
This is not satisfactory for a variety of reasons. There is no way to
populate the ACLs from the command line, users are forced to use the
HMP. With multiple network services all supporting TLS and ACLs now, it
is desirable to be able to define a single ACL that is referenced by all
services.
To address these limitations, two new options are added to the VNC
server CLI. The 'tls-authz' option takes the ID of a QAuthZ object to
use for checking TLS x509 distinguished names, and the 'sasl-authz'
option takes the ID of another object to use for checking SASL usernames.
In this example, we setup two authorization rules. The first allows any
client with a certificate issued by the 'RedHat' organization in the
'London' locality. The second ACL allows clients with either the
'joe@REDHAT.COM' or 'fred@REDHAT.COM' kerberos usernames. Both checks
must pass for the user to be allowed.

Add an authorization backend that talks to PAM to check whether the user
identity is allowed. This only uses the PAM account validation facility,
which is essentially just a check to see if the provided username is permitted
access. It doesn't use the authentication or session parts of PAM, since
that's dealt with by the relevant part of QEMU (eg VNC server).
Consider starting QEMU with a VNC server and telling it to use TLS with
x509 client certificates and configuring it to use an PAM to validate
the x509 distinguished name. In this example we're telling it to use PAM
for the QAuthZ impl with a service name of "qemu-vnc"
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
-object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/security/qemutls,\
endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \
-object authz-pam,id=authz0,service=qemu-vnc \
-vnc :1,tls-creds=tls0,tls-authz=authz0
This requires an /etc/pam/qemu-vnc file to be created with the auth
rules. A very simple file based whitelist can be setup using
$ cat > /etc/pam/qemu-vnc <<EOF
account requisite pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/qemu/vnc.allow
EOF
The /etc/qemu/vnc.allow file simply contains one username per line. Any
username not in the file is denied. The usernames in this example are
the x509 distinguished name from the client's x509 cert.
$ cat > /etc/qemu/vnc.allow <<EOF
CN=laptop.berrange.com,O=Berrange Home,L=London,ST=London,C=GB
EOF
More interesting would be to configure PAM to use an LDAP backend, so
that the QEMU authorization check data can be centralized instead of
requiring each compute host to have file maintained.
The main limitation with this PAM module is that the rules apply to all
QEMU instances on the host. Setting up different rules per VM, would
require creating a separate PAM service name & config file for every
guest. An alternative approach for the future might be to not pass in
the plain username to PAM, but instead combine the VM name or UUID with
the username. This requires further consideration though.

Add a QAuthZListFile object type that implements the QAuthZ interface. This
built-in implementation is a proxy around the QAuthZList object type,
initializing it from an external file, and optionally, automatically
reloading it whenever it changes.
To create an instance of this object via the QMP monitor, the syntax
used would be:
{
"execute": "object-add",
"arguments": {
"qom-type": "authz-list-file",
"id": "authz0",
"props": {
"filename": "/etc/qemu/vnc.acl",
"refresh": true
}
}
}
If "refresh" is "yes", inotify is used to monitor the file,
automatically reloading changes. If an error occurs during reloading,
all authorizations will fail until the file is next successfully
loaded.
The /etc/qemu/vnc.acl file would contain a JSON representation of a
QAuthZList object
{
"rules": [
{ "match": "fred", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
{ "match": "bob", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
{ "match": "danb", "policy": "deny", "format": "glob" },
{ "match": "dan*", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
],
"policy": "deny"
}
This sets up an authorization rule that allows 'fred', 'bob' and anyone
whose name starts with 'dan', except for 'danb'. Everyone unmatched is
denied.
The object can be loaded on the comand line using
-object authz-list-file,id=authz0,filename=/etc/qemu/vnc.acl,refresh=yes

host.
Via QMP this can be configured with:

"execute": "object-add",

"qom-type": "authz-simple",
"id": "authz0",

Add a new display backend that will configure Spice to allow a remote

For this to work, it will set up Spice server with a unix socket, and
register a VC chardev that will be exposed as Spice ports. A QMP
monitor is also exposed as a Spice port, this allows the remote client
fuller qemu control and state handling.
- doesn't handle VC set_echo() - this doesn't seem a strong
requirement, very few front-end use it
- spice options can be tweaked with other -spice arguments
- Windows support shouldn't be hard to do, but will probably use a TCP

Sufficient L2 cache can noticeably improve the performance when using

Previously, unless 'cache-size' was specified and was large enough, the
L2 cache was set to a certain size without taking the virtual image size
into account.
Now, the L2 cache assignment is aware of the virtual size of the image,
and will cover the entire image, unless the cache size needed for that is
larger than a certain maximum. This maximum is set to 1 MB by default
(enough to cover an 8 GB image with the default cluster size) but can
be increased or decreased using the 'l2-cache-size' option. This option
was previously documented as the *maximum* L2 cache size, and this patch
makes it behave as such, instead of as a constant size. Also, the
existing option 'cache-size' can limit the sum of both L2 and refcount
caches, as previously.

When QEMU emulates vNVDIMM labels and migrates vNVDIMM devices, it
needs to know whether the backend storage is a real persistent memory,
in order to decide whether special operations should be performed to
ensure the data persistence.
This boolean option 'pmem' allows users to specify whether the backend
storage of memory-backend-file is a real persistent memory. If
'pmem=on', QEMU will set the flag RAM_PMEM in the RAM block of the
corresponding memory region. If 'pmem' is set while lack of libpmem
support, a error is generated.

Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) is a simpler mechanism for enabling TLS
connections than using certificates. It requires only a simple secret
key:
$ mkdir -m 0700 /tmp/keys
$ psktool -u rjones -p /tmp/keys/keys.psk
$ cat /tmp/keys/keys.psk
rjones:d543770c15ad93d76443fb56f501a31969235f47e999720ae8d2336f6a13fcbc
The key can be secretly shared between clients and servers. Clients
must specify the directory containing the "keys.psk" file and a
username (defaults to "qemu"). Servers must specify only the
directory.
Example NBD client:
$ qemu-img info \
--object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,dir=/tmp/keys,username=rjones,endpoint=client \
--image-opts \
file.driver=nbd,file.host=localhost,file.port=10809,file.tls-creds=tls0,file.export=/
Example NBD server using qemu-nbd:
$ qemu-nbd -t -x / \
--object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/tmp/keys \
--tls-creds tls0 \
image.qcow2

With this flag, kvm allows guest to control host CPU power state. This
increases latency for other processes using same host CPU in an
unpredictable way, but if decreases idle entry/exit times for the
running VCPU, so to use it QEMU needs a hint about whether host CPU is
overcommitted, hence the flag name.
Follow-up patches will expose this capability to guest
(using mwait leaf).

We currently have got three ways of turning on the HAX accelerator:
"-machine accel=hax", "-accel hax" and "-enable-hax". That's really
confusing and overloaded. Since "-accel" is our preferred way to enable
an accelerator nowadays, and "-accel hax" is even less to type than
"-enable-hax", let's deprecate the "-enable-hax" option now.
Note: While "-enable-kvm" is available since a long time and can hardly be
removed since it is used in a lot of upper layer tools and scripts, the
"-enable-hax" option is still rather new and not very widespread yet, so
I think that it should be OK if we remove this in a couple of releases again
(we'll see whether someone complains after seeing the deprecation message -
then we could still reconsider to keep it if there a well-founded reasons).

This option allows pausing QEMU in the new RUN_STATE_PRECONFIG state,
allowing the configuration of QEMU from QMP before the machine jumps
into board initialization code of machine_run_board_init()
The intent is to allow management to query machine state and additionally
configure it using previous query results within one QEMU instance
(i.e. eliminate the need to start QEMU twice, 1st to query board specific
parameters and 2nd for actual VM start using query results for
additional parameters).
The new option complements -S option and could be used with or without
it. The difference is that -S pauses QEMU when the machine is completely
initialized with all devices wired up and ready to execute guest code
(QEMU needs only to unpause VCPUs to let guest execute its code),
while the "preconfig" option pauses QEMU early before board specific init
callback (machine_run_board_init) is executed and allows the configuration
of machine parameters which will be used by board init code.
When early introspection/configuration is done, command 'exit-preconfig'
should be used to exit RUN_STATE_PRECONFIG and transition to the next
requested state (i.e. if -S is used then QEMU will pause the second
time when board/device initialization is completed or start guest
execution if -S isn't provided on CLI)
PS:
Initially 'preconfig' is planned to be used for configuring numa
topology depending on board specified possible cpus layout.

"-net" is clearly a legacy option. Yet we still use it in almost all
examples in the qemu documentation, and many other spots in the network
chapter. We should make it less prominent that users are not lured into
using it so often anymore. So instead of starting the network chapter with
"-net nic" and documenting "-net <backend>" below "-netdev <backend>"
everywhere, all the "-net" related documentation is now moved to the end
of the chapter. The new "-nic" option is moved to the beginning of the
chapter instead, with a new example that should demonstrate how "-nic"
can be used to shortcut "-device" with "-netdev". The examples in this
chapter are changed to use the "-device" and "-netdev" options or
"-nic" instead of "-net nic -net <backend>".
While we're at it, also remove a legacy remark about very old Linux

There are two issues with the documentation of the --balloon parameter:
First, "--balloon none" is simply doing nothing. Even if a machine had a
balloon device by default, this option is not disabling anything, it is
simply ignored. Thus let's simply drop this option from the documentation
to avoid to confuse the users (but keep the code in vl.c for backward
compatibility).
Second, the documentation claims that "--balloon virtio" is the default
mode, but this is not true anymore since commit 382f074371.
Since that commit, the option also has no real use case anymore, since
you can simply use "--device virtio-balloon" nowadays instead. Thus to

the parameter now and tell the user to use "--device virtio-balloon"

The legacy "-net" option can be quite confusing for the users since most
people do not expect to get a "vlan" hub between their emulated guest
hardware and the host backend. But so far, we are also not able to get
rid of "-net" completely, since it is the only way to configure on-board
NICs that can not be instantiated via "-device" yet. It's also a little
bit shorter to type "-net nic -net tap" instead of "-device xyz,netdev=n1
-netdev tap,id=n1".
So what we need is a new convenience option that is shorter to type than
the full -device + -netdev stuff, and which can be used to configure the
on-board NICs that can not be handled via -device yet. Thus this patch now
provides such a new option "--nic": It adds an entry in the nd_table to
configure a on-board / default NIC, creates a host backend and connects
the two directly, without a confusing "vlan" hub inbetween.

This backend is mainly useful for sharing the memory with other

Note that Linux supports transparent huge-pages of shmem/memfd memory
since 4.8. It is relatively easier to set up THP than a dedicate
hugepage mount point by using "madvise" in
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled.
Since 4.14, memfd allows to set hugetlb requirement explicitly.
Pending for merge in 4.16 is memfd sealing support for hugetlb backed

their network when trying to use it. But while the 'vlan' parameter
should be removed at one point in time, the basic idea of emulating
a hub in QEMU is still good: It's useful for bundling up the output of
multiple NICs into one single l2tp netdev for example.
Now to be able to use the hubport feature without 'vlan's, there is one
missing piece: The possibility to connect a hubport to a netdev, too.
This patch adds this possibility by introducing a new "netdev=..."
parameter to the hubports.
To bundle up the output of multiple NICs into one socket netdev, you can
now run QEMU with these parameters for example:
qemu-system-ppc64 ... -netdev socket,id=s1,connect=:11122 \
-netdev hubport,hubid=1,id=h1,netdev=s1 \
-netdev hubport,hubid=1,id=h2 -device e1000,netdev=h2 \
-netdev hubport,hubid=1,id=h3 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=h3
For using the socket netdev, you have got to start another QEMU as the
receiving side first, for example with network dumping enabled:
qemu-system-x86_64 -M isapc -netdev socket,id=s0,listen=:11122 \
-device ne2k_isa,netdev=s0 \
-object filter-dump,id=f1,netdev=s0,file=/tmp/dump.dat
After the ppc64 guest tried to boot from both NICs, you can see in the
dump file (using Wireshark, for example), that the output of both NICs
(the e1000 and the virtio-net-pci) has been successfully transfered
via the socket netdev in this case.

The option have been marked as deprecated since QEMU 2.10, and so far
nobody complained that the host, serial, disk and net options are urgently
required anymore. So let's now get rid at least of this legacy pile, to
simplify the usb code quite a bit.
This patch removes the usbdevices host, serial, disk and net. These devices
use their own complicated parameter parsing mechanisms, so they are just
ugly to maintain, without real benefit for the users (the users can use the
corresponding "-device" parameters instead which have the same complexity
as the "-usbdevice" devices here).
Note that the other rather simple -usbdevice options (mouse, tablet, etc.)
are not removed yet (the code is really simple here, so it does not hurt
much to keep it), as well as the two devices "braille" and "bt" which are
easier to use with -usbdevice than with -device.

[kraxel] delete some usb_host_device_open() leftovers.

When mmap(2) the backend files, QEMU uses the host page size
(getpagesize(2)) by default as the alignment of mapping address.
However, some backends may require alignments different than the page
size. For example, mmap a device DAX (e.g., /dev/dax0.0) on Linux
kernel 4.13 to an address, which is 4K-aligned but not 2M-aligned,
fails with a kernel message like
[617494.969768] dax dax0.0: qemu-system-x86: dax_mmap: fail, unaligned vma (0x7fa37c579000 - 0x7fa43c579000, 0x1fffff)
Because there is no common approach to get such alignment requirement,
we add the 'align' option to 'memory-backend-file', so that users or
management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend, can
specify a proper alignment via this option.

This file begins tracking the files that will be the code base for HVF
support in QEMU. This code base is part of Google's QEMU version of
their Android emulator, and can be found at
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/qemu/+/emu-master-dev
This code is based on Veertu Inc's vdhh (Veertu Desktop Hosted
Hypervisor), found at https://github.com/veertuinc/vdhh. Everything is
appropriately licensed under GPL v2-or-later, except for the code inside
x86_task.c and x86_task.h, which, deriving from KVM (the Linux kernel),
is licensed GPL v2-only.
This code base already implements a very great deal of functionality,
although Google's version removed from Vertuu's the support for APIC
page and hyperv-related stuff. According to the Android Emulator Release
Notes, Revision 26.1.3 (August 2017), "Hypervisor.framework is now
enabled by default on macOS for 32-bit x86 images to improve performance
and macOS compatibility", although we better use with caution for, as the
same Revision warns us, "If you experience issues with it specifically,
please file a bug report...". The code hasn't seen much update in the
last 5 months, so I think that we can further develop the code with
occasional visiting Google's repository to see if there has been any
update.
On top of Google's code, the following changes were made:
- add code to the configure script to support the --enable-hvf argument.
If the OS is Darwin, it checks for presence of HVF in the system. The
patch also adds strings related to HVF in the file qemu-options.hx.
QEMU will only support the modern syntax style '-M accel=hvf' no enable
hvf; the legacy '-enable-hvf' will not be supported.
- fix styling issues
- add glue code to cpus.c
- move HVFX86EmulatorState field to CPUX86State, changing the
the emulation functions to have a parameter with signature 'CPUX86State *'
instead of 'CPUState *' so we don't have to get the 'env'.

Looks like we missed to document that it is also possible to specify
a netdev with "-net nic" - which is very useful if you want to
configure your on-board NIC to use a backend that has been specified
with "-netdev".
