This allows the caller to specify a uid and gid to use, even if there
is no corresponding password entry. This will be useful in certain
Xen configurations.
We don't support just -runas <uid> because: (i) deprivileging without
calling setgroups would be ineffective (ii) given only a uid we don't
know what gid we ought to use (since uids may eppear in multiple
passwd file entries with different gids).

"-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.

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.

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'.

Swtpm uses two Unix sockets for communications, one for plain TPM commands and

socket to be used over the control channel.
