The ideal way to use qemu-bridge-helper is to give it an fscap of using:
setcap cap_net_admin=ep qemu-bridge-helper
Unfortunately, most distros still do not have a mechanism to package files
with fscaps applied. This means they'll have to SUID the qemu-bridge-helper
binary.
To improve security, use libcap to reduce our capability set to just
cap_net_admin, then reduce privileges down to the calling user. This is
hopefully close to equivalent to fscap support from a security perspective.

We go to great lengths to restrict ourselves to just cap_net_admin as an OS
enforced security mechanism. However, we further restrict what we allow users
to do to simply adding a tap device to a bridge interface by virtue of the fact
that this is the only functionality we expose.
This is not good enough though. An administrator is likely to want to restrict
the bridges that an unprivileged user can access, in particular, to restrict
an unprivileged user from putting a guest on what should be isolated networks.
This patch implements an ACL mechanism that is enforced by qemu-bridge-helper.
The ACLs are fairly simple whitelist/blacklist mechanisms with a wildcard of
'all'. All users are blacklisted by default, and deny takes precedence over
allow.
An interesting feature of this ACL mechanism is that you can include external
ACL files. The main reason to support this is so that you can set different
file system permissions on those external ACL files. This allows an
administrator to implement rather sophisticated ACL policies based on
user/group policies via the file system.
As an example:
/etc/qemu/bridge.conf root:qemu 0640
allow br0
include /etc/qemu/alice.conf
include /etc/qemu/bob.conf
include /etc/qemu/charlie.conf
/etc/qemu/alice.conf root:alice 0640
allow br1
/etc/qemu/bob.conf root:bob 0640
allow br2
/etc/qemu/charlie.conf root:charlie 0640
deny all
This ACL pattern allows any user in the qemu group to get a tap device
connected to br0 (which is bridged to the physical network).
Users in the alice group can additionally get a tap device connected to br1.
This allows br1 to act as a private bridge for the alice group.
Users in the bob group can additionally get a tap device connected to br2.
This allows br2 to act as a private bridge for the bob group.
Users in the charlie group cannot get a tap device connected to any bridge.
Under no circumstance can the bob group get access to br1 or can the alice
group get access to br2. And under no cicumstance can the charlie group
get access to any bridge.

This patch adds a helper that can be used to create a tap device attached to
a bridge device. Since this helper is minimal in what it does, it can be
given CAP_NET_ADMIN which allows qemu to avoid running as root while still
satisfying the majority of what users tend to want to do with tap devices.
The way this all works is that qemu launches this helper passing a bridge
name and the name of an inherited file descriptor. The descriptor is one
end of a socketpair() of domain sockets. This domain socket is used to
transmit a file descriptor of the opened tap device from the helper to qemu.
The helper can then exit and let qemu use the tap device.

Bugfix after reboot when vmmouse was enabled and another OS which uses e.g. PS/2
mouse.
Details:
When a guest activated the vmmouse followed by a reboot the vmmouse was still
enabled and the PS/2 mouse was therefore unsusable. When another guest is then
booted without vmmouse support (e.g. PS/2 mouse) the mouse is not working.
Reason is that VMMouse has priority and disables all other mouse entities
and therefore must be disabled on reset.
Testscenario:
1.) Boot e.g. OS with VMMouse support (e.g. Windows with VMMouse tools)
2.) reboot
3.) Boot e.g. OS without VMMouse support (e.g. DOS) => PS/2 mouse doesn't work
any more. Fixes that issue.
Testscenario 2 by Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>:
Confirm that this patch fixes a real issue. Setup: qemu.git,
opensuse 11.4 guest, SDL graphic, system_reset while guest is using the
vmmouse. Without the patch, the vmmouse become unusable after the
reboot. Also, the mouse stays in absolute mode even before X starts again.
Fixed by:
Disabling the vmmouse in its reset handler.

The lockf() call in qemu_create_pidfile() aims at ensuring mutual
exclusion. We shouldn't close the pidfile on success (as introduced by
commit 1bbd1592), because that drops the lock as well [1]:
"File locks shall be released on first close by the locking process
of any file descriptor for the file."

In some cases initializing the alarm timers can lead to non-negligable
overhead from programs that link against qemu-tool.o. At least,
setting a max-resolution WinMM alarm timer via mm_start_timer() (the
current default for Windows) can increase the "tick rate" on Windows
OSs and affect frequency scaling, and in the case of tools that run
in guest OSs such has qemu-ga, the impact can be fairly dramatic
(+20%/20% user/sys time on a core 2 processor was observed from an idle
Windows XP guest).
This patch doesn't address the issue directly (not sure what a good
solution would be for Windows, or what other situations it might be
noticeable), but it at least limits the scope of the issue to programs
that "opt-in" to using the main-loop.c functions by only enabling alarm
timers when qemu_init_main_loop() is called, which is already required
to make use of those facilities, so existing users shouldn't be
affected.

The __attribute__((constructor)) init_main_loop() automatically get
called if qemu-tool.o is linked in. On win32, this leads to
a qemu_notify_event() call which attempts to SetEvent() on a HANDLE that
won't be initialized until qemu_init_main_loop() is manually called,
breaking qemu-tools.o programs on Windows at runtime.
This patch checks for an initialized event handle before attempting to
set it, which is analoguous to how we deal with an unitialized
io_thread_fd in the posix implementation.

There are scenarios on Linux with some SDL versions where
handle_activation is continuous invoked with state = SDL_APPINPUTFOCUS
and gain = 0 while we grabbed the input. This causes a ping-pong when we
grab the input after an absolute mouse entered the window.

Potentially tick-generating timer devices will gain a common property:
lock_tick_policy. It allows to encode 4 different ways how to deal with
tick events the guest did not process in time:
discard - ignore lost ticks (e.g. if the guest compensates for them
already)
delay - replay all lost ticks in a row once the guest accepts them
again
merge - if multiple ticks are lost, all of them are merged into one
which is replayed once the guest accepts it again
slew - lost ticks are gradually replayed at a higher frequency than
the original tick
Not all timer device will need to support all modes. However, all need
to accept the configuration via this common property.
