136cd19d05 Describe flaws in qcow/qcow2 encryption in the docs
The qemu-img.texi / qemu-doc.texi files currently describe the
qcow2/qcow2 encryption thus

  "Encryption uses the AES format which is very secure (128 bit
   keys). Use a long password (16 characters) to get maximum
   protection."

While AES is indeed a strong encryption system, the way that
QCow/QCow2 use it results in a poor/weak encryption system.
Due to the use of predictable IVs, based on the sector number
extended to 128 bits, it is vulnerable to chosen plaintext
attacks which can reveal the existence of encrypted data.

The direct use of the user passphrase as the encryption key
also leads to an inability to change the passphrase of an
image. If passphrase is ever compromised the image data will
all be vulnerable, since it cannot be re-encrypted. The admin
has to clone the image files with a new passphrase and then
use a program like shred to secure erase all the old files.

Recommend against any use of QCow/QCow2 encryption, directing
users to dm-crypt / LUKS which can meet modern cryptography
best practices.

[Changed "Qcow" to "qcow" for consistency.

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.

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.

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.

c8057f951d Support 'help' as a synonym for '?' in command line options
For command line options which permit '?' meaning 'please list the
permitted values', add support for 'help' as a synonym, by abstracting
the check out into a helper function.

This change means that in some cases where we were being lazy in
our string parsing, "?junk" will now be rejected as an invalid option
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.

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

e080e785f6 Documentation: Use UTF-8 encoding and fix one wrong encoding
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
correctly).

These changes fix the html presentation at

76655d6dec Support ACLs for controlling VNC access ("Daniel P. Berrange")
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

2f9606b373 Add SASL authentication support ("Daniel P. Berrange")
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.

73822ec806 Add -rtc-td-hack option to fix time drift with RTC on Windows (Gleb Natapov)
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.

4dc822d726 Use writeback caching by default with qcow2
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.

6e02c38dad Add virtio-blk support
Virtio-blk is a paravirtual block device based on VirtIO.  It can be used by
specifying the if=virtio parameter to the -drive parameter.

When using -enable-kvm, it can achieve very good performance compared to IDE or
SCSI.

9f7965c7e9 Expand cache= option and use write-through caching by default
This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough
to control the host page cache behavior.  By default, writethrough caching is
now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk
images.  When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity
it not at all an issue.

cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously.  The later syntax is
still supported by now deprecated.  I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT
implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.
