Using the UUID that qemu generates probably isn't the best thing
to do, allow it to be passed in via properties, and use QemuUUID
for the type.
If the UUID is not set, return an unsupported command error. This
way we are not providing an all-zero (or randomly generated) GUID
to the IPMI user. This lets the host fall back to the other
method of using the get device id command to determind the BMC
being accessed.

In our documentation, we use a mix of "$QEMU", "qemu-system-i386" and
"qemu-system-x86_64" when we give examples to the users how to run
QEMU. Some more consistency would be good here. Also some distributions
use different names for the QEMU binary (e.g. "qemu-kvm" in RHEL), so
providing more flexibility here would also be good. Thus let's define
some variables for the names of the QEMU command and use those in the
documentation instead: @value{qemu_system} for generic examples, and
@value{qemu_system_x86} for examples that only work with the x86
binaries.

When QEMU exposes a VirtIO-RNG device to the guest, that device needs a
source of entropy, and that source needs to be "non-blocking", like
`/dev/urandom`. However, currently QEMU defaults to the problematic
`/dev/random`, which on Linux is "blocking" (as in, it waits until
sufficient entropy is available).
Why prefer `/dev/urandom` over `/dev/random`?
---------------------------------------------
The man pages of urandom(4) and random(4) state:
"The /dev/random device is a legacy interface which dates back to a
time where the cryptographic primitives used in the implementation
of /dev/urandom were not widely trusted. It will return random
bytes only within the estimated number of bits of fresh noise in the
entropy pool, blocking if necessary. /dev/random is suitable for
applications that need high quality randomness, and can afford
indeterminate delays."
Further, the "Usage" section of the said man pages state:
"The /dev/random interface is considered a legacy interface, and
/dev/urandom is preferred and sufficient in all use cases, with the
exception of applications which require randomness during early boot
time; for these applications, getrandom(2) must be used instead,
because it will block until the entropy pool is initialized.
"If a seed file is saved across reboots as recommended below (all
major Linux distributions have done this since 2000 at least), the
output is cryptographically secure against attackers without local
root access as soon as it is reloaded in the boot sequence, and
perfectly adequate for network encryption session keys. Since reads
from /dev/random may block, users will usually want to open it in
nonblocking mode (or perform a read with timeout), and provide some
sort of user notification if the desired entropy is not immediately
available."
And refer to random(7) for a comparison of `/dev/random` and
`/dev/urandom`.
What about other OSes?
----------------------
`/dev/urandom` exists and works on OS-X, FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, NetBSD
and OpenBSD, which cover all the non-Linux platforms we explicitly
support, aside from Windows.
On Windows `/dev/random` doesn't work either so we don't regress.
This is actually another argument in favour of using the newly
proposed 'rng-builtin' backend by default, as that will work on
Windows.
- - -
Given the above, change the entropy source for VirtIO-RNG device to
`/dev/urandom`.

a: backend is a dax supporting file.
- MAP_SYNC will active.
b: backend is not a dax supporting file.

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.
$QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\

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

The "handle" fsdev backend was deprecated in QEMU 2.12.0 with:
commit db3b3c7281
Author: Greg Kurz <groug@kaod.org>
Date: Mon Jan 8 11:18:23 2018 +0100
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.

It has been unmaintained since years, and there were only trivial or

qemu-system-x86_64 -usb -device usb-bt-dongle -bt hci -bt device:keyboard
Since we are not aware of anybody using bluetooth with the current

they still use it (so we could revert the deprecation status in that

The upper limit on the L2 cache size is increased from 1 MB to 32 MB

caused by the ability to set intervals for cache cleaning on Linux
platforms only).
This is done in order to allow default full coverage with the L2 cache
for images of up to 256 GB in size (was 8 GB). Note, that only the
needed amount to cover the full image is allocated. The value which is
changed here is just the upper limit on the L2 cache size, beyond which
it will not grow, even if the size of the image will require it to.

Sufficient L2 cache can noticeably improve the performance when using
large images with frequent I/O.
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

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 \

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

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.

It's been marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.9.0, so that should have
been enough time for everybody to either just drop unnecessary "vlan=0"
parameters, to switch to the modern -device + -netdev syntax for connecting
guest NICs with host network backends, or to switch to the "hubport" netdev
in case hubs are really wanted instead.

We've never documented this option in our qemu-doc, so apart from the users
that already used the old qemu-kvm fork before, most users should not be
aware of this option at all. It's been marked as deprecated in the source
code for a long time already, and officially marked as deprecated in the
documentation since QEMU v2.10, so it should be fine to remove this now.

"-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
distributions. Also remove the "[...]" from the examples in this chapter
since we are not using this ellipsis in any other examples in our docu-
mentation.

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
simplify our complex parameter zoo a little bit, let's deprecate the
the parameter now and tell the user to use "--device virtio-balloon"
instead.

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.

doesn't need to create files. It also enforces memory sealing.
This backend is mainly useful for sharing the memory with other
processes.
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
memory.

QEMU can emulate hubs to connect NICs and netdevs. This is currently
primarily used for the mis-named 'vlan' feature of the networking
subsystem. Now the 'vlan' feature has been marked as deprecated, since
its name is rather confusing and the users often rather mis-configure
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.

Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
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'.

socket to be used over the control channel.

The current VNC default keyboard delay is 1ms. With that we're constantly
typing faster than the guest receives keyboard events from an XHCI attached
USB HID device.
The default keyboard delay time in the input layer however is 10ms. I don't know
how that number came to be, but empirical tests on some OpenQA driven ARM
systems show that 10ms really is a reasonable default number for the delay.
This patch moves the VNC delay also to 10ms. That way our default is much
safer (good!) and also consistent with the input layer default (also good!).

POSIX says that backslashes in the arguments to 'echo', as well as
any use of 'echo -n' and 'echo -e', are non-portable; it recommends
people should favor 'printf' instead. This is definitely true where
we do not control which shell is running (such as in makefile snippets
or in documentation examples). But even for scripts where we
require bash (and therefore, where echo does what we want by default),
it is still possible to use 'shopt -s xpg_echo' to change bash's
behavior of echo. And setting a good example never hurts when we are
not sure if a snippet will be copied from a bash-only script to a
general shell script (although I don't change the use of non-portable
\e for ESC when we know the running shell is bash).
Replace 'echo -n "..."' with 'printf %s "..."', and 'echo -e "..."'
with 'printf %b "...\n"', with the optimization that the %s/%b
argument can be omitted if the string being printed is a strict
literal with no '%', '$', or '`' (we could technically also make
this optimization when there are $ or `` substitutions but where
we can prove their results will not be problematic, but proving
that such substitutions are safe makes the patch less trivial
compared to just being consistent).
In the qemu-iotests check script, fix unusual shell quoting
that would result in word-splitting if 'date' outputs a space.
In test 051, take an opportunity to shorten the line.
In test 068, get rid of a pointless second invocation of bash.

In mapped security modes, files are created with very restrictive
permissions (600 for files and 700 for directories). This makes
file sharing between virtual machines and users on the host rather
complicated. Imagine eg. a group of users that need to access data
produced by processes on a virtual machine. Giving those users access
to the data will be difficult since the group access mode is always 0.
This patch makes the default mode for both files and directories
configurable. Existing setups that don't know about the new parameters
keep using the current secure behavior.

We want to support real (i.e. not virtual) channel devices
even for guests that do not support MCSS-E (where guests may
see devices from any channel subsystem image at once). As all
virtio-ccw devices are in css 0xfe (and show up in the default
css 0 for guests not activating MCSS-E), we need an option to
squash both the virtio subchannels and e.g. passed-through
subchannels from their real css (0-3, or 0 for hosts not
activating MCSS-E) into the default css. This will be
exploited in a later patch.

legacy cpu to node mapping is using cpu index values to map
VCPU to node with help of '-numa node,nodeid=node,cpus=x[-y]'
option. However cpu index is internal concept and QEMU users
have to guess /reimplement qemu's logic/ to map it to
a concrete cpu socket/core/thread to make sane CPUs
placement across numa nodes.
This patch allows to map cpu objects to numa nodes using
the same properties as used for cpus with -device/device_add
(socket-id/core-id/thread-id/node-id).
At present valid properties/values to address CPUs could be
fetched using hotpluggable-cpus monitor/qmp command, it will
require user to start qemu twice when creating domain to fetch
possible CPUs for a machine type/-smp layout first and
then the second time with numa explicit mapping for actual
usage. The first step results could be saved and reused to
set/change mapping later as far as machine type/-smp stays
the same.
Proposed impl. supports exact and wildcard matching to
simplify CLI and allow to set mapping for a specific cpu
or group of cpu objects specified by matched properties.
For example:
# exact mapping x86
-numa cpu,node-id=x,socket-id=y,core-id=z,thread-id=n
# exact mapping SPAPR
-numa cpu,node-id=x,core-id=y
# wildcard mapping, all cpu objects that match socket-id=y
# are mapped to node-id=x
-numa cpu,node-id=x,socket-id=y

When using a virtfs root filesystem, the mount_tag needs to be set to

-fsdev local,id=root,path=/path/to/rootfs,...
-device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=root,mount_tag=/dev/root
but the -virtfs shortcut cannot be used as it hard-codes the device identifier
to match the mount_tag, and device identifiers may not contain '/':
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -virtfs local,path=/foo,mount_tag=/dev/root,security_model=passthrough
qemu-system-x86_64: -virtfs local,path=/foo,mount_tag=/dev/root,security_model=passthrough: duplicate fsdev id: /dev/root

Here's a respind of my first pull request for qemu-2.10, consisting of
assorted patches which have accumulated while qemu-2.9 stabilized.
Highlights are:
* Rework / cleanup of the XICS interrupt controller
* Substantial improvement to the 'powernv' machine type
- Includes an MMIO XICS version
* POWER9 support improvements
- POWER9 guests with KVM
- Partial support for POWER9 guests with TCG
* IOMMU and VFIO improvements
* Assorted minor changes
There are several IPMI patches here that aren't usually in my area of
maintenance, but there isn't a regular maintainer and these patches
are for the benefit of the powernv machine type.
This pull request supersedes my 2017-04-26 pull request. This new set
fixes a bug in one of the aforementioned IPMI patches which caused
clang sanitizer failures (and may have crashed on some libc / host
versions).

Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/dgibson/tags/ppc-for-2.10-20170426' into staging
ppc patch queue 2017-04-26
Here's a respind of my first pull request for qemu-2.10, consisting of
assorted patches which have accumulated while qemu-2.9 stabilized.
Highlights are:
* Rework / cleanup of the XICS interrupt controller
* Substantial improvement to the 'powernv' machine type
- Includes an MMIO XICS version
* POWER9 support improvements
- POWER9 guests with KVM
- Partial support for POWER9 guests with TCG
* IOMMU and VFIO improvements
* Assorted minor changes
There are several IPMI patches here that aren't usually in my area of
maintenance, but there isn't a regular maintainer and these patches
are for the benefit of the powernv machine type.
This pull request supersedes my 2017-04-26 pull request. This new set
fixes a bug in one of the aforementioned IPMI patches which caused
clang sanitizer failures (and may have crashed on some libc / host
versions).

This patch provides a simple FRU support for the BMC simulator. FRUs
are loaded from a file which name is specified in the object
properties, each entry having a fixed size, also specified in the
properties. If the file is unknown or not accessible for some reason,
a unique entry of 1024 bytes is created as a default. Just enough to
start some simulation.
These commands complies with the IPMI spec : "34. FRU Inventory Device
Commands".

The IPMI BMC simulator populates the sdr/sensor tables with a minimal
set of entries (Watchdog). But some qemu platforms might want to use
extra entries for their custom needs.
This patch modifies slighty the initializing routine to take into
account a larger set read from a file. The name of the file to use is
defined through a new 'sdr' property of the simulator device.

This patch adds a command-line option (-xen-domid-restrict) which will
use the new libxendevicemodel API to restrict devicemodel [1] operations
to the specified domid. (Such operations are not applicable to the xenpv
machine type).
This patch also adds a tracepoint to allow successful enabling of the
restriction to be monitored.
[1] I.e. operations issued by libxendevicemodel. Operation issued by other
xen libraries (e.g. libxenforeignmemory) are currently still unrestricted
but this will be rectified by subsequent patches.

The new command line option -blockdev works like QMP command
blockdev-add.
The option argument may be given in JSON syntax, exactly as in QMP.
Example usage:
-blockdev '{"node-name": "foo", "driver": "raw", "file": {"driver": "file", "filename": "foo.img"} }'
The JSON argument doesn't exactly blend into the existing option
syntax, so the traditional KEY=VALUE,... syntax is also supported,
using dotted keys to do the nesting:
-blockdev node-name=foo,driver=raw,file.driver=file,file.filename=foo.img
This does not yet support lists, but that will be addressed shortly.
Note that calling qmp_blockdev_add() (say via qmp_marshal_block_add())
right away would crash. We need to stash the configuration for later
instead. This is crudely done, and bypasses QemuOpts, even though
storing configuration is what QemuOpts is for. Need to revamp option
infrastructure to support QAPI types like BlockdevOptions.

The PC machines (pc-q35-* pc-i440fx-* pc-* isapc xenfv) automatically
create lsi53c895a SCSI HBAs and SCSI devices to honor -drive if=scsi.
For giggles, try -drive if=scsi,bus=25,media=cdrom --- this makes QEMU
create 25 of them.
lsi53c895a is thoroughly obsolete (PCI Ultra2 SCSI, ca. 2000), and
currently has no maintainer in QEMU. megasas is a better choice,
except with old OSes that lack drivers. virtio-scsi is a much better
choice when you have a driver, but only (newish) Linux comes with one
in the box. There is no good default that works for all guests.
Encourage users to pick a non-obsolete SCSI HBA that works for them by
deprecating -drive if=scsi.

The code which interprets the CLI args to populate the SocketAddress
objects for plain & websockets VNC is quite complex already and will
need further enhancements shortly. Refactor it into separate methods
to avoid vnc_display_open getting even larger. As a side effect of
the refactoring, it is now possible to specify a listen address for
the websocket server explicitly. e.g,
-vnc localhost:5900,websockets=0.0.0.0:8080
will listen on localhost for the plain VNC server, but expose the
websockets VNC server on the public interface. This refactoring
also removes the restriction that prevents enabling websockets
when the plain VNC server is listening on a UNIX socket.

Because TFTP does not support byte ranges, it was never usable with our
curl block driver. Since apparently nobody has ever complained loudly
enough for someone to take care of the issue until now, it seems
reasonable to assume that nobody has ever actually used it.
Therefore, it should be safe to just drop it from curl's protocol list.
[Jeff Cody: Below is additional summary pulled, with some rewording,
from followup emails between Max and Markus, to explain what
worked and what didn't]
TFTP would sometimes work, to a limited extent, for images <= the curl
"readahead" size, so long as reads started at offset zero. By default,
that readahead size is 256KB.
Reads starting at a non-zero offset would also have returned data from a
zero offset. It can become more complicated still, with mixed reads at
zero offset and non-zero offsets, due to data buffering.
In short, TFTP could only have worked before in very specific scenarios
with unrealistic expectations and constraints.
