This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver. It uses madvise() to actually balloon

Until 2.6.27, KVM forced memory pinning so we must disable ballooning unless the

This is mostly (only?) useful for a guest on a bridge (not user mode

the host NIC isn't doing it's own tagging, stripping, or filtering.
This generally means the host NIC on the bridge should not be part of a

This patch tweaks the ATAPI CDROM emulation to fix an annoyance seen
when running a variety of Linux guests: the desktop GUI shows a CDROM
device as present, but is unable to automount the media and display its
contents.
The patch adds the PLAY_AUDIO capability bit to the data returned by
MODE_SENSE commands. That convinces the guest kernel to determine what
kind of media is present.
Arguably Linux could be smarter about this, but it's my guess there are
few (if any) hardware CDROM drives that don't set the bit, and there are
a large number of Linux distros that exhibit this problem.

After going through the debug log and scratching my head for quite some
time. I found the following:
The problem was with this block move:
lsi_scsi: SCRIPTS dsp=0fae8e50 opcode 01000028 arg 00f63c40
lsi_scsi: DMA addr=0x00f63c40 len=36
The number of bytes to be transferred (len) should be 40 which corresponds
to the block transfer of length 0x28 (from opcode 01000028). Instead we
have a length of 36 (0x24). The code responsible for this is (in
'lsi_do_dma'):
if (count > s->current_dma_len)
count = s->current_dma_len;
Basically we're overwriting the length 40 with the value 36 which I
think we just left over in that variable from an earlier transfer. In my
patch below I initialize s->current_dma_len to s->dbc before we begin
the DMA transfer during Data In phase.
The attached patch gets Openserver 5.0.5 past the hardware detection
(and it lists the hard drive to boot, woohoo). It appears to stop a
little while later (doesn't seem SCSI related), but it's been so long since
I've booted Openserver I'm not sure what's supposted to happen after the HW
detection using the boot/root disks.
Props go to Craig Ringer for the initial post and the code that he posted
some of which is in this patch.

KVM's live migration support included support for exec: URLs, allowing system
state to be written or received via an arbitrary popen()ed subprocess. This
provides a convenient way to pipe state through a compression algorithm or an

to write state to disk; libvirt's qemu driver currently uses migration to exec:
targets for this latter purpose.

This patch adds very basic KVM support. KVM is a kernel module for Linux that
allows userspace programs to make use of hardware virtualization support. It
current supports x86 hardware virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V. It
also supports IA64 VT-i, PPC 440, and S390.
This patch only implements the bare minimum support to get a guest booting. It
has very little impact the rest of QEMU and attempts to integrate nicely with
the rest of QEMU.
Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.
Booting and shutting down a Linux guest:
w/TCG: 1:32.36 elapsed 84% CPU
w/KVM: 0:31.14 elapsed 59% CPU
Right now, KVM is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with

This patch makes qemu keep track of the character devices in use and
implements a "info chardev" monitor command to print a list.
qemu_chr_open() sticks the devices into a linked list now. It got a new
argument (label), so there is a name for each device. It also assigns a
filename to each character device. By default it just copyes the
filename passed in. Individual drivers can fill in something else
though. qemu_chr_open_pty() sets the filename to name of the pseudo tty
allocated.
Output looks like this:
(qemu) info chardev
monitor: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/monitor,server,nowait

The current DMA routines are driven by a call in main_loop_wait() after every
select.
This patch converts the DMA code to be driven by a constantly rescheduled
bottom half. The advantage of using a scheduled bottom half is that we can
stop scheduling the bottom half when there no DMA channels are runnable. This
means we can potentially detect this case and sleep longer in the main loop.
The only two architectures implementing DMA_run() are cris and i386. For cris,
I converted it to a simple repeating bottom half. I've only compile tested
this as cris does not seem to work on a 64-bit host. It should be functionally
identical to the previous implementation so I expect it to work.
For x86, I've made sure to only fire the DMA bottom half if there is a DMA
channel that is runnable. The effect of this is that unless you're using sb16
or a floppy disk, the DMA bottom half never fires.
You probably should test this malc. My own benchmarks actually show slight
improvement by it's possible the change in timing could affect your demos.
Since v1, I've changed the code to use a BH instead of a timer. cris at least
seems to depend on faster than 10ms polling.

this patch allows to fully use a tape device connected to qemu through
the scsi-generic interface.
Previous patch introduced tape SCSI commands management, this one
improve error case management:
- the SCSI controller command completion must be called with the status
value, not the sense value. In the case of scsi-generic, the SCSI status
is given by the field status of sg_io_hdr_t (the value is left shifted
by one regarding status codes defined in /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h)
- when a read is aborted due to a mark/EOF/EOD/EOM, the len reported to
controller can be 0. LSI controller emulation doesn't know how to manage
this. A workaround found is to call the completion routine with
SCSI_REASON_DONE just after calling it with SCSI_REASON_DATA with len=0.
This patch also manages correctly the block size of the tape device.
This patch has been tested with a real tape device "HP C5683A", linux

The current flash emulation code advertises a write buffer size of 16
bytes (1 << 4, according to offset 0x2A of the CFI table). This is
very small compared to normal write buffer sizes, and makes the
process of writing to the flash very slow (at least from U-Boot).
This patch increases this size to 2048 bytes. Except the modification
of the CFI table, the only other required modification is to use
"value" instead of "cmd" to set pfl->counter, because cmd is truncated
to the 8 lower bits of value, while the number of bytes for a write
can now be greater than 255 bytes.

The DIAGNOSE command in the qemu IDE implementation has an error when
use dfor packet devices.
The status register value is dependant on the drive being a packet
device or not, this patch corrects the returned status.
From the ATA/PI specification (V6 draft):
"If the device implements the PACKET command feature set, the device
SHALL clear bits 6,5,4,3,2 and 0 in the Status register to zero."
A selection of physical devices have been checked and do conform to
the specifications behaviour.

Introduce a max_cpus per-machine variable, allowing individual boards
to limit it's number of CPUs. Check requested number of CPUs in setup
code and exit if it exceeds the supported number for the machine.
This also renders the static MAX_CPUS check obsolete, so remove this
from vl.c.

The current savevm/loadvm protocol has some draw backs. It does not support
the ability to do progressive saving which means it cannot be used for live
checkpointing or migration. The sections sizes are 32-bit integers which
means that it will not function when using more than 4GB of memory for a guest.
It attempts to seek within the output file which means it cannot be streamed.
The current protocol also is pretty lax about how it supports forward
compatibility. If a saved section version is greater than what the restore
code support, the restore code generally treats the saved data as being in
whatever version it supports. This means that restoring a saved VM on an older
version of QEMU will likely result in silent guest failure.
This patch introduces a new version of the savevm protocol. It has the
following features:
* Support for progressive save of sections (for live checkpoint/migration)
* An asynchronous API for doing save
* Support for interleaving multiple progressive save sections
(for future support of memory hot-add/storage migration)
* Fully streaming format
* Strong section version checking
