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.

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'.

This change introduces a new TPM backend driver that can communicate with
swtpm(software TPM emulator) using unix domain socket interface. QEMU talks to
the TPM emulator using QEMU's socket-based chardev backend device.
Swtpm uses two Unix sockets for communications, one for plain TPM commands and
responses, and one for out-of-band control messages. QEMU passes the data
socket to be used over the control channel.
The swtpm and associated tools can be found here:
https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm
The swtpm's control channel protocol specification can be found here:
https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/wiki/Control-Channel-Specification
Usage:
# setup TPM state directory
mkdir /tmp/mytpm

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

keep using the current secure behavior.

This documents the driver-specific options for the raw, qcow2 and file
block drivers for the man page. For everything else, we refer to the
QAPI documentation.

This adds documentation for the -blockdev options that apply to all
nodes independent of the block driver used.
All options that are shared by -blockdev and -drive are now explained in
the section for -blockdev. The documentation of -drive mentions that all
-blockdev options are accepted as well.

The help text for the thread sub option of the accel option is missing
a newline at the end. This is annoying as it makes it hard to see the
help text for the next option.
Add the new line so that the following option help text (-smp) is
displayed on a new line rather on the same line and directly after
the thread help.
Before patch:
-accel [accel=]accelerator[,thread=single|multi]
select accelerator (kvm, xen, hax or tcg; use 'help' for a list)
thread=single|multi (enable multi-threaded TCG)-smp [cpus=]n[,maxcpus=cpus][,cores=cores][,threads=threads][,sockets=sockets]
set the number of CPUs to 'n' [default=1]
maxcpus= maximum number of total cpus, including
offline CPUs for hotplug, etc
cores= number of CPU cores on one socket
threads= number of threads on one CPU core
sockets= number of discrete sockets in the system
