Add a new spice chardev to allow arbitrary communication between the
host and the Spice client via the spice server.
Examples:
This allows the Spice client to have a special port for the qemu
monitor:
... -chardev spiceport,name=org.qemu.monitor,id=monitorport
-mon chardev=monitorport

This option can be used for passing file descriptors on the
command line. It mirrors the existing add-fd QMP command which
allows an fd to be passed to QEMU via SCM_RIGHTS and added to an
fd set.
This can be combined with commands such as -drive to link file
descriptors in an fd set to a drive:
qemu-kvm -add-fd fd=3,set=2,opaque="rdwr:/path/to/file"
-add-fd fd=4,set=2,opaque="rdonly:/path/to/file"
-drive file=/dev/fdset/2,index=0,media=disk
This example adds dups of fds 3 and 4, and the accompanying opaque
strings to the fd set with ID=2. qemu_open() already knows how
to handle a filename of this format. qemu_open() searches the
corresponding fd set for an fd and when it finds a match, QEMU
goes on to use a dup of that fd just like it would have used an
fd that it opened itself.

This patch provides a way to optionally suppress spurious interrupts,

Some old operating systems do not handle spurious interrupts well,
and qemu tends to generate them significantly more often than
real hardware.
Examples:
- Microport UNIX System V/386 v 2.1 (ca 1987)
(The main problem I'm fixing: Without this patch, it panics
sporadically when accessing the hard disk.)
- AT&T UNIX System V/386 Release 4.0 Version 2.1a (ca 1991)

This patch adds some optional compatibility hacks (default

I've tried to structure it to be easy to add more hacks for other
old CGA programs, if anyone ever needs them.
Microport UNIX System V/386 v 2.1 (ca 1987) tries to program
the CGA registers directly with neither the assistance of BIOS, nor
with proper handling of EGA/VGA-only registers. Note that it didn't
work on real VGA hardware, either (although in that case, the most
obvious problems seemed to be out-of-range hsync and/or vsync
signalling, rather than the issues in this patch).
Eventually real MDA and/or CGA support might provide an alternative to
this patch, although a hybrid approach like this patch might still
be useful in marginal cases.

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.

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.

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.

The idea behind qtest is pretty simple. Instead of executing a CPU via TCG or
KVM, rely on an external process to send events to the device model that the CPU
would normally generate.
qtest presents itself as an accelerator. In addition, a new option is added to
establish a qtest server (-qtest) that takes a character device. This is what
allows the external process to send CPU events to the device model.
qtest uses a simple line based protocol to send the events. Documentation of
that protocol is in qtest.c.
I considered reusing the monitor for this job. Adding interrupts would be a bit
difficult. In addition, logging would also be difficult.
qtest has extensive logging support. All protocol commands are logged with
time stamps using a new command line option (-qtest-log). Logging is important
since ultimately, this is a feature for debugging.

VNC clients send a shared flag in the client init message. Up to now
qemu completely ignores this. This patch implements shared flag
handling. It comes with three policies: By default qemu behaves as one
would expect: Asking for a exclusive access grants exclusive access to
the client connecting. There is also a desktop sharing mode which
disallows exclusive connects (so one forgetting -shared wouldn't drop
everybody else) and a compatibility mode which mimics the traditional
(but non-conforming) qemu behavior.

[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

[iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
...

The most common use of -net tap is to connect a tap device to a bridge. This
requires the use of a script and running qemu as root in order to allocate a
tap device to pass to the script.
This model is great for portability and flexibility but it's incredibly
difficult to eliminate the need to run qemu as root. The only really viable
mechanism is to use tunctl to create a tap device, attach it to a bridge as
root, and then hand that tap device to qemu. The problem with this mechanism
is that it requires administrator intervention whenever a user wants to create
a guest.
By essentially writing a helper that implements the most common qemu-ifup
script that can be safely given cap_net_admin, we can dramatically simplify
things for non-privileged users. We still support existing -net tap options
as a mechanism for advanced users and backwards compatibility.
Currently, this is very Linux centric but there's really no reason why it
couldn't be extended for other Unixes.
A typical invocation would be similar to one of the following:
qemu linux.img -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper"
-net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper",id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
The default bridge that we attach to is br0. The thinking is that a distro
could preconfigure such an interface to allow out-of-the-box bridged networking.
Alternatively, if a user wants to use a different bridge, a typical invocation
would be simliar to one of the following:
qemu linux.img -net bridge,br=qemubr0 -net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0"
-net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

This patch adds the -drive copy-on-read=on|off command-line option:
copy-on-read=on|off
copy-on-read is "on" or "off" and enables whether to copy read backing
file sectors into the image file. Copy-on-read avoids accessing the
same backing file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing
file is over a slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.

This patch create a synthetic file system with mount tag
v_synth when -virtfs_synth command line option is specified
in qemu. The synthetic file system can be mounted in guest
using 9p using the below command line
mount -t 9p -oversion=9p2000.L,trans=virtio v_synth <mountpint>
Synthetic file system enabled different qemu subsystem to register
callbacks for read and write events from guest. The subsystem
can create directories and files in the synthetic file system as show
in ex below
qemu_v9fs_synth_mkdir(NULL, 0777, "test2", &node);
qemu_v9fs_synth_add_file(node, 0777, "testfile",
my_test_read, NULL, NULL);

Preprocessor directives cannot be used in STEXI/ETEXI sections since

This patch adds -drive cache=directsync for O_DIRECT | O_SYNC host file
I/O with no disk write cache presented to the guest.
This mode is useful when guests may not be sending flushes when
appropriate and therefore leave data at risk in case of power failure.
When cache=directsync is used, write operations are only completed to
the guest when data is safely on disk.
This new mode is like cache=writethrough but it bypasses the host page
cache.

This patch almost rewrites acpi_table_add() function
(but still leaves it using old get_param_value() interface).
The result is that it's now possible to specify whole table
(together with a header) in an external file, instead of just
data portion, with a new file= parameter, but at the same time
it's still possible to specify header fields as before.
Now with the checkpatch.pl formatting fixes, thanks to
Stefan Hajnoczi for suggestions, with changes from
Isaku Yamahata, and with my further refinements.

Added options to let qemu transfer two configuration files to bios:
"bootsplash.bmp" and "etc/boot-menu-wait", which could be specified by command
-boot splash=P,splash-time=T
P is jpg/bmp file name or an absolute path, T have a max value of 0xffff, unit
is ms. With these two options, if user invoke qemu with menu=on option, then
a splash picture would be showed in a given time. For example:
qemu -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000
would make boot.bmp shown as a brand with 5 seconds in the booting up process.
This feature need the new seabios's support, which could be got from git.

Fix that while still accepting the formerly allowed yes|y|no|n, but
reject everything else. This avoids accidentally allowing external

-machine somehow suggests that it selects the machine, but it doesn't.
Fix that before this command is set in stone.
Actually, -machine should supersede -M and allow to introduce arbitrary
per-machine options to the command line. That will change the internal
realization again, but we will be able to keep the user interface
stable.

Turn on SASL support by appending "sasl" to the spice arguments, which
requires that the client use SASL to authenticate with the spice. The
exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the
system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This
is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an
unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used
to make it search alternate locations for the service config. While
some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI),
it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and
'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This
ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication
credentials.
It requires support from spice 0.8.1.
