The short-form boolean options has been deprecated since v6.0 (refer
to docs/about/deprecated.rst).
Update the description and example of boolean fields in l2tpv3 option to
avoid deprecation warning.

The description of '-runas' and '-run-with' didn't explain that QEMU
will use setuid/setgid to implement the option, so the user might get
confused if using 'elevateprivileges=deny' as well.
Since '-runas' is going to be deprecated and replaced by '-run-with'
in the coming qemu9.1, add the message there.

shm_open() creates and opens a new POSIX shared memory object.
A POSIX shared memory object allows creating memory backend with an
associated file descriptor that can be shared with external processes
(e.g. vhost-user).
The new `memory-backend-shm` can be used as an alternative when
`memory-backend-memfd` is not available (Linux only), since shm_open()
should be provided by any POSIX-compliant operating system.
This backend mimics memfd, allocating memory that is practically
anonymous. In theory shm_open() requires a name, but this is allocated
for a short time interval and shm_unlink() is called right after
shm_open(). After that, only fd is shared with external processes
(e.g., vhost-user) as if it were associated with anonymous memory.
In the future we may also allow the user to specify the name to be
passed to shm_open(), but for now we keep the backend simple, mimicking
anonymous memory such as memfd.

As module-level topology support is added to X86CPU, now we can enable
the support for the modules parameter on PC machines. With this support,
we can define a 5-level x86 CPU topology with "-smp":
-smp cpus=*,maxcpus=*,sockets=*,dies=*,modules=*,cores=*,threads=*.
So, add the 5-level topology example in description of "-smp".
Additionally, add the missed drawers and books options in previous

The old "-runas" option has the disadvantage that it is not visible
in the QAPI schema, so it is not available via the normal introspection
mechanisms. We've recently introduced the "-run-with" option for exactly
this purpose, which is meant to handle the options that affect the
runtime behavior. Thus let's introduce a "user=..." parameter here now
and deprecate the old "-runas" option.

a value of MAX_SERIAL_PORTS = 4. We now dynamically allocate

We can't just embed labels directly into files like qemu-options.hx which
are included from multiple top-level rST files, because Sphinx sees the
labels as duplicate: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/9707
So add an optional argument to the SRST directive which causes a label
of the form '.. _DOCNAME-HXFILE-LABEL:' to be emitted, where 'DOCNAME'
is the name of the top level rST file, 'HXFILE' is the filename of the
.hx file, and 'LABEL' is the text provided within the 'SRST()' directive.
Using the DOCNAME of the top-level rST document means that it is unique
even when the .hx file is included from two different documents, as is
the case for qemu-options.hx
Now where the Xen PV documentation refers to the documentation for the
-initrd command line option, it can emit a link directly to it as
'<system/invocation-qemu-options-initrd>'.

Introduce an iommufd object which allows the interaction
with the host /dev/iommu device.
The /dev/iommu can have been already pre-opened outside of qemu,
in which case the fd can be passed directly along with the
iommufd object:
This allows the iommufd object to be shared accross several
subsystems (VFIO, VDPA, ...). For example, libvirt would open
the /dev/iommu once.
If no fd is passed along with the iommufd object, the /dev/iommu
is opened by the qemu code.

When the discard-no-unref flag is enabled, we keep the reference for

When committing the snapshot to the backing file, not
discard_in_l2_slice is called but zero_in_l2_slice. Which did not had
any logic to keep the reference when discard-no-unref is enabled.
Therefor we add logic in the zero_in_l2_slice call to keep the reference

Allow an offset option to be specified as part of the file URI, in
the form "file:filename,offset=offset", where offset accepts the common
size suffixes, or the 0x prefix, but not both. Migration data is written
to and read from the file starting at offset. If unspecified, it defaults
to 0.
This is needed by libvirt to store its own data at the head of the file.

Extend the migration URI to support file:<filename>. This can be used for
any migration scenario that does not require a reverse path. It can be
used as an alternative to 'exec:cat > file' in minimized containers that
do not contain /bin/sh, and it is easier to use than the fd:<fdname> URI.
It can be used in HMP commands, and as a qemu command-line parameter.
For best performance, guest ram should be shared and x-ignore-shared
should be true, so guest pages are not written to the file, in which case
the guest may remain running. If ram is not so configured, then the user
is advised to stop the guest first. Otherwise, a busy guest may re-dirty
the same page, causing it to be appended to the file multiple times,
and the file may grow unboundedly. That issue is being addressed in the
"fixed-ram" patch series.

These have been deprecated for a long time, and the introduction of
-audio in 7.1.0 has cemented the new way of specifying an audio backend's
parameters. However, there is still a need for simple configuration
of the audio backend in the desktop case; therefore, if no audiodev is
passed to audio_init(), go through a bunch of simple Audiodev* structures
and pick the first that can be initialized successfully.
The only QEMU_AUDIO_* option that is left in, waiting for a better idea,
is QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none which is used by qtest.
Remove all the parsing code, including the concept of "can_be_default"
audio drivers: now that audio_prio_list[] is only used in a single place,
wav can be excluded directly in that function.

For now, "share=off,readonly=on" would always result in us opening the
file R/O and mmap'ing the opened file MAP_PRIVATE R/O -- effectively
turning it into ROM.
Especially for VM templating, "share=off" is a common use case. However,
that use case is impossible with files that lack write permissions,
because "share=off,readonly=on" will not give us writable RAM.
The sole user of ROM via memory-backend-file are R/O NVDIMMs, but as we
have users (Kata Containers) that rely on the existing behavior --
malicious VMs should not be able to consume COW memory for R/O NVDIMMs --
we cannot change the semantics of "share=off,readonly=on"
So let's add a new "rom" property with on/off/auto values. "auto" is
the default and what most people will use: for historical reasons, to not
change the old semantics, it defaults to the value of the "readonly"
property.
For VM templating, one can now use:
-object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=on,rom=off,...
But we'll disallow:
-object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=on,rom=off,...
because we would otherwise get an error when trying to mmap the R/O file
shared and writable. An explicit error message is cleaner.
We will also disallow for now:
-object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=off,rom=on,...
-object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=off,rom=on,...
It's not harmful, but also not really required for now.
Alternatives that were abandoned:
* Make "unarmed=on" for the NVDIMM set the memory region container
readonly. We would still see a change of ROM->RAM and possibly run
into memslot limits with vhost-user. Further, there might be use cases
for "unarmed=on" that should still allow writing to that memory
(temporary files, system RAM, ...).
* Add a new "readonly=on/off/auto" parameter for NVDIMMs. Similar issues
as with "unarmed=on".
* Make "readonly" consume "on/off/file" instead of being a 'bool' type.
This would slightly changes the behavior of the "readonly" parameter:
values like true/false (as accepted by a 'bool'type) would no longer be
accepted.
