db3b3c7281 9pfs: deprecate handle backend
This backend raise some concerns:

- doesn't support symlinks
- fails +100 tests in the PJD POSIX file system test suite [1]
- requires the QEMU process to run with the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
  capability, which isn't recommended for security reasons

This backend should not be used and wil be removed. The 'local'
backend is the recommended alternative.

e896d0f9ca qemu-options qemu-doc: Move "Device URL Syntax" to qemu-doc
Commit 0f5314a (v1.0) added section "Device URL Syntax" to
qemu-options.hx.  It's enclosed in STEXI..ETEXI, thus affects only
qemu-options.texi, not --help.  It appears as a subsection under
section "Invocation".  Similarly, qemu.1 has it as a subsection under
"OPTIONS".

Commit f9dadc9 (v1.1.0) dropped new option -iscsi into the middle of
this section.  No effect on qemu-options.texi.  It appears in --help
run together with the "Bluetooth(R) options:" header.

Commit c70a01e (v1.5.0) gives it is own heading in --help by moving
commit 0f5314a's DEFHEADING(Device URL Syntax:) outside STEXI..ETEXI.
Trouble is the heading makes no sense for -iscsi.

Move all of the "Device URL Syntax" Texinfo to qemu-doc.texi.  Mark it
for inclusion in qemu.1 with '@c man begin NOTES'.  This turns it into
a separate section outside the list of options both in qemu-doc and in
qemu.1.

There's substantial overlap with the existing qemu-doc section "Disk
Images".  Mark with a TODO comment.

Output of --help will be fixed next.

eb22aeca65 docs: document deprecation policy & deprecated features in appendix
The deprecation of features in QEMU is totally adhoc currently,
with no way for the user to get a list of what is deprecated
in each release. This adds an appendix to the doc that records
when each deprecation was made and provides text explaining
what to use instead, if anything.

Since there has been no formal policy around removal of deprecated
features in the past, any deprecations prior to 2.10.0 are to be
treated as if they had been made at the 2.10.0 release. Thus the
earliest that existing deprecations will be deleted is the start
of the 2.12.0 cycle.

abc67eb6e8 qemu-doc: Add missing "@c man end" statements
Since commit 3f2ce724f1 ("Move the qemu-ga description into a
separate chapter"), the qemu.1 man page looks pretty much screwed
up, e.g. the title was "qemu-ga - QEMU Guest Agent" instead of
"qemu-doc - QEMU Emulator User Documentation". However, that movement
of the gemu-ga chapter is not the real problem, it just triggered
another bug in the qemu-doc.texi: There are some parts in the file
which introduce a "@c man begin OPTIONS" section, but never close
it again with "@c man end". After adding the proper end tags here,
the title of the man page is right again and the previously wrongly
tagged sections now also show up correctly in the man page, too.

c6a9a9f575 Default to GSSAPI (Kerberos) instead of DIGEST-MD5 for SASL
RFC 6331 documents a number of serious security weaknesses in
the SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism. As such, QEMU should not be
using or recommending it as a default mechanism for VNC auth
with SASL.

GSSAPI (Kerberos) is the only other viable SASL mechanism that
can provide secure session encryption so enable that by defalt
as the replacement. If users have TLS enabled for VNC, they can
optionally decide to use SCRAM-SHA-1 instead of GSSAPI, allowing
plain username and password auth.

62a830b688 ivshmem: Require master to have ID zero
Migration with ivshmem needs to be carefully orchestrated to work.
Exactly one peer (the "master") migrates to the destination, all other
peers need to unplug (and disconnect), migrate, plug back (and
reconnect).  This is sort of documented in qemu-doc.

If peers connect on the destination before migration completes, the
shared memory can get messed up.  This isn't documented anywhere.  Fix
that in qemu-doc.

To avoid messing up register IVPosition on migration, the server must
assign the same ID on source and destination.  ivshmem-spec.txt leaves
ID assignment unspecified, however.

Amend ivshmem-spec.txt to require the first client to receive ID zero.
The example ivshmem-server complies: it always assigns the first
unused ID.

For a bit of additional safety, enforce ID zero for the master.  This
does nothing when we're not using a server, because the ID is zero for
all peers then.

5400c02b90 ivshmem: Split ivshmem-plain, ivshmem-doorbell off ivshmem
ivshmem can be configured with and without interrupt capability
(a.k.a. "doorbell").  The two configurations have largely disjoint
options, which makes for a confusing (and badly checked) user
interface.  Moreover, the device can't tell the guest whether its
doorbell is enabled.

Create two new device models ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, and
deprecate the old one.

Changes from ivshmem:

* PCI revision is 1 instead of 0.  The new revision is fully backwards
  compatible for guests.  Guests may elect to require at least
  revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny "no shared
  memory, yet" state.

* Property "role" replaced by "master".  role=master becomes
  master=on, role=peer becomes master=off.  Default is off instead of
  auto.

* Property "use64" is gone.  The new devices always have 64 bit BARs.

Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-plain:

* The Interrupt Pin register in PCI config space is zero (does not use
  an interrupt pin) instead of one (uses INTA).

* Property "x-memdev" is renamed to "memdev".

* Properties "shm" and "size" are gone.  Use property "memdev"
  instead.

* Property "msi" is gone.  The new device can't have MSI-X capability.
  It can't interrupt anyway.

* Properties "ioeventfd" and "vectors" are gone.  They're meaningless
  without interrupts anyway.

Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell:

* Property "msi" is gone.  The new device always has MSI-X capability.

* Property "ioeventfd" defaults to on instead of off.

* Property "size" is gone.  The new device can only map all the shared
  memory received from the server.

Guests can easily find out whether the device is configured for
interrupts by checking for MSI-X capability.

Note: some code added in sub-optimal places to make the diff easier to
review.  The next commit will move it to more sensible places.

8d31d6b65a backends/hostmem-file: Allow to specify full pathname for backing file
This allows to explicitly specify file name to use with the backend. This
is important when using it together with ivshmem in order to make it backed
by hugetlbfs. By default filename is autogenerated using mkstemp(), and the
file is unlink()ed after creation, effectively making it anonymous. This is
not very useful with ivshmem because it ends up in a memory which cannot be
accessed by something else.

Distinction between directory and file name is done by stat() check. If an
existing directory is given, the code keeps old behavior. Otherwise it
creates or opens a file with the given pathname.

92a539d22e raw-posix: Deprecate host floppy passthrough
Raise your hand if you have a physical floppy drive in a computer
you've powered on in 2015.  Okay, I see we got a few weirdos in the
audience.  That's okay, weirdos are welcome here.

Kidding aside, media change detection doesn't fully work, isn't going
to be fixed, and floppy passthrough just isn't earning its keep
anymore.

Deprecate block driver host_floppy now, so we can drop it after a

a1f688f415 block: Deprecate QCOW/QCOW2 encryption
We've steered users away from QCOW/QCOW2 encryption for a while,
because it's a flawed design (commit 136cd19 Describe flaws in
qcow/qcow2 encryption in the docs).

In addition to flawed crypto, we have comically bad usability, and
plain old bugs.  Let me show you.

= Example images =

I'm going to use a raw image as backing file, and two QCOW2 images,
one encrypted, and one not:

    $ qemu-img create -f raw backing.img 4m
    Formatting 'backing.img', fmt=raw size=4194304
    $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o encryption,backing_file=backing.img,backing_fmt=raw geheim.qcow2 4m
    Formatting 'geheim.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=4194304 backing_file='backing.img' backing_fmt='raw' encryption=on cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
    $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=backing.img,backing_fmt=raw normal.qcow2 4m
    Formatting 'normal.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=4194304 backing_file='backing.img' backing_fmt='raw' encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off

= Usability issues =

== Confusing startup ==

When no image is encrypted, and you don't give -S, QEMU starts the
guest immediately:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio normal.qcow2
    QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) info status
    VM status: running

But as soon as there's an encrypted image in play, the guest is *not*
started, with no notification whatsoever:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio geheim.qcow2
    QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) info status
    VM status: paused (prelaunch)

If the user figured out that he needs to type "cont" to enter his
keys, the confusion enters the next level: "cont" asks for at most
*one* key.  If more are needed, it then silently does nothing.  The
user has to type "cont" once per encrypted image:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio -drive if=none,file=geheim.qcow2 -drive if=none,file=geheim.qcow2
    QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) info status
    VM status: paused (prelaunch)
    (qemu) c
    none0 (geheim.qcow2) is encrypted.
    Password: ******
    (qemu) info status
    VM status: paused (prelaunch)
    (qemu) c
    none1 (geheim.qcow2) is encrypted.
    Password: ******
    (qemu) info status
    VM status: running

== Incorrect passwords not caught ==

All existing encryption schemes give you the GIGO treatment: garbage
password in, garbage data out.  Guests usually refuse to mount
garbage, but other usage is prone to data loss.

== Need to stop the guest to add an encrypted image ==

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio
    QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) info status
    VM status: running
    (qemu) drive_add "" if=none,file=geheim.qcow2
    Guest must be stopped for opening of encrypted image
    (qemu) stop
    (qemu) drive_add "" if=none,file=geheim.qcow2
    OK

Commit c3adb58 added this restriction.  Before, we could expose images
lacking an encryption key to guests, with potentially catastrophic
results.  See also "Use without key is not always caught".

= Bugs =

== Use without key is not always caught ==

Encrypted images can be in an intermediate state "opened, but no key".
The weird startup behavior and the need to stop the guest are there to
ensure the guest isn't exposed to that state.  But other things still
are!

* drive_backup

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio geheim.qcow2
    QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) drive_backup -f ide0-hd0 out.img raw
    Formatting 'out.img', fmt=raw size=4194304

  I guess this writes encrypted data to raw image out.img.  Good luck
  with figuring out how to decrypt that again.

* commit

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio geheim.qcow2
    QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
    (qemu) commit ide0-hd0

  I guess this writes encrypted data into the unencrypted raw backing
  image, effectively destroying it.

== QMP device_add of usb-storage fails when it shouldn't ==

When the image is encrypted, device_add creates the device, defers
actually attaching it to when the key becomes available, then fails.
This is wrong.  device_add must either create the device and succeed,
or do nothing and fail.

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -usb -qmp stdio -drive if=none,id=foo,file=geheim.qcow2
    {"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 2, "major": 2}, "package": ""}, "capabilities": []}}
    { "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
    {"return": {}}
    { "execute": "device_add", "arguments": { "driver": "usb-storage", "id": "bar", "drive": "foo" } }
    {"error": {"class": "DeviceEncrypted", "desc": "'foo' (geheim.qcow2) is encrypted"}}
    {"execute":"device_del","arguments": { "id": "bar" } }
    {"timestamp": {"seconds": 1426003440, "microseconds": 237181}, "event": "DEVICE_DELETED", "data": {"path": "/machine/peripheral/bar/bar.0/legacy[0]"}}
    {"timestamp": {"seconds": 1426003440, "microseconds": 238231}, "event": "DEVICE_DELETED", "data": {"device": "bar", "path": "/machine/peripheral/bar"}}
    {"return": {}}

This stuff is worse than useless, it's a trap for users.

If people become sufficiently interested in encrypted images to
contribute a cryptographically sane implementation for QCOW2 (or
whatever other format), then rewriting the necessary support around it
from scratch will likely be easier and yield better results than
fixing up the existing mess.

Let's deprecate the mess now, drop it after a grace period, and move
on.

30af51ce7f block: vhdx - change .vhdx_create default block state to ZERO
The VHDX spec specifies that the default new block state is
PAYLOAD_BLOCK_NOT_PRESENT for a dynamic VHDX image, and
PAYLOAD_BLOCK_FULLY_PRESENT for a fixed VHDX image.

However, in order to create space-efficient VHDX images with qemu-img
convert, it is desirable to be able to set has_zero_init to true for
VHDX.

There is currently an option when creating VHDX images, to use block
state ZERO for new blocks.  However, this currently defaults to 'off'.
In order to be able to eventually set has_zero_init to true for VHDX,
this needs to default to 'on'.

This patch changes the default to 'on', and provides some help
information to warn against setting it to 'off' when using qemu-img
convert.

[Max Reitz pointed out that a full stop was missing at the end of the
VHDX_BLOCK_OPT_ZERO option help text.  I have added it.

550830f935 block: delete cow block driver
This patch removes support for the cow file format.

Normally we do not break backwards compatibility but in this case there
is no impact and it is the most logical option.  Extraordinary claims
require extraordinary evidence so I will show why removing the cow block
driver is the right thing to do.

The cow file format is the disk image format for Usermode Linux, a way
of running a Linux system in userspace.  The performance of UML was
never great and it was hacky, but it enjoyed some popularity before
hardware virtualization support became mainstream.

QEMU's block/cow.c is supposed to read this image file format.
Unfortunately the file format was underspecified:

1. Earlier Linux versions used the MAXPATHLEN constant for the backing
   filename field.  The value of MAXPATHLEN can change, so Linux
   switched to a 4096 literal but QEMU has a 1024 literal.

2. Padding was not used on the header struct (both in the Linux kernel
   and in QEMU) so the struct layout varied across architectures.  In
   particular, i386 and x86_64 were different due to int64_t alignment
   differences.  Linux now uses __attribute__((packed)), QEMU does not.

Therefore:

1. QEMU cow images do not conform to the Linux cow image file format.

2. cow images cannot be shared between different host architectures.

This means QEMU cow images are useless and QEMU has not had bug reports
from users actually hitting these issues.

Let's get rid of this thing, it serves no purpose and no one will be
affected.

4ab1559085 qemu-img create: add 'nocow' option
Add 'nocow' option so that users could have a chance to set NOCOW flag to
newly created files. It's useful on btrfs file system to enhance performance.

Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad
performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there are
two ways to turn off NOCOW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow, then
all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.

This patch tries the second way, according to the option, it could add NOCOW
per file.

For most block drivers, since the create file step is in raw-posix.c, so we
can do setting NOCOW flag ioctl in raw-posix.c only.

But there are some exceptions, like block/vpc.c and block/vdi.c, they are
creating file by calling qemu_open directly. For them, do the same setting
NOCOW flag ioctl work in them separately.

[Fixed up 082.out due to the new 'nocow' creation option

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.

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.

Although the rule also allows 'an' for historical reasons,
'a' is more common because 'h' is pronounced.

3804da9dbe qemu-doc: Fix executable name in examples
The executable name qemu was replaced some time ago by qemu-system-i386.
Fix all examples accordingly.

Some examples will only work with qemu-system-i386 or qemu-system-x86_64
for obvious reasons ("dos.img").

To keep things simple, I did not vary the executable name.
Place holders like qemu-system-TARGET were also only used once
in the enhanced description for QEMU launches using Wine.

0adb124659 Drop darwin-user
It's been orphaned, not compiling for a long time and despite Apple's
drop of their Rosetta ppc emulation technology with Mac OS X Lion no one
has stepped up to fix it.

Testing necessary changes wrt QOM'ification thus is impossible, so we
might as well remove it completely.
