xen: build on ARM
xen_backend: introduce xenstore_read_uint64 and xenstore_read_fe_uint64
Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
|

Collection of fixes to build QEMU with Xen support on ARM:
- use xenstore_read_fe_uint64 to retrieve the page-ref (xenfb);
- use xen_pfn_t instead of unsigned long in xenfb;
- unsigned long/xenpfn_t in xen_remove_from_physmap;
- in xen-mapcache.c use HOST_LONG_BITS to check for QEMU's address space
size.

this patch makes the VNC server work correctly if the
server surface and the guest surface have different sizes.
Basically the server surface is adjusted to not exceed VNC_MAX_WIDTH
x VNC_MAX_HEIGHT and additionally the width is rounded up to multiple of
VNC_DIRTY_PIXELS_PER_BIT.
If we have a resolution whose width is not dividable by VNC_DIRTY_PIXELS_PER_BIT
we now get a small black bar on the right of the screen.
If the surface is too big to fit the limits only the upper left area is shown.
On top of that this fixes 2 memory corruption issues:
The first was actually discovered during playing
around with a Windows 7 vServer. During resolution
change in Windows 7 it happens sometimes that Windows
changes to an intermediate resolution where
server_stride % cmp_bytes != 0 (in vnc_refresh_server_surface).
This happens only if width % VNC_DIRTY_PIXELS_PER_BIT != 0.
The second is a theoretical issue, but is maybe exploitable
by the guest. If for some reason the guest surface size is bigger
than VNC_MAX_WIDTH x VNC_MAX_HEIGHT we end up in severe corruption since
this limit is nowhere enforced.

currently a malicious client could define a payload
size of 2^32 - 1 bytes and send up to that size of
data to the vnc server. The server would allocated
that amount of memory which could easily create an
out of memory condition.
This patch limits the payload size to 1MB max.
Please note that client_cut_text messages are currently

trace events
We have the experience that the guest doesn't stop successfully
though it was instructed to shut down.
The root cause may be not in QEMU mostly. However, QEMU is often
suspected at the beginning just because the issue occurred in
virtualization environment.
Therefore, we need to affirm that QEMU received the shutdown
request and raised ACPI irq from "virsh shutdown" command,
virt-manger or stopping QEMU process to the VM .
So that we can affirm the problems was belonged to the Guset OS
rather than the QEMU itself.
When we stop guests by "virsh shutdown" command or virt-manger,
or stopping QEMU process, qemu_system_powerdown_request() or
qemu_system_shutdown_request() is called. Then the below functions
in main_loop_should_exit() of Vl.c are called roughly in the
following order.
if (qemu_powerdown_requested())
qemu_system_powerdown()
monitor_protocol_event(QEVENT_POWERDOWN, NULL)
OR
if(qemu_shutdown_requested()}
monitor_protocol_event(QEVENT_SHUTDOWN, NULL);
The tracepoint of monitor_protocol_event() already exists, but no
tracepoints are defined for qemu_system_powerdown_request() and
qemu_system_shutdown_request(). So this patch adds two tracepoints for
the two functions. We believe that it will become much easier to
isolate the problem mentioned above by these tracepoints.

On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the
filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image
after a block job.
For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may
have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???),
or a relative protocol pathname may have been used.
In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make
the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does
have that knowledge.
With this extension to the block-stream api, the user is able to change
the backing file of the active layer as part of the block-stream
operation.
This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the active image metadata fails, then the block-stream
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.
If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was
previously.

This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the overlay image metadata fails, then the block-commit

If the commit top is the active layer, then specifying the backing
file string will be treated as an error (there is no overlay image
to modify in that case).
If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
file string to use is determined in the same manner as it was

This allows a user to make a live change to the backing file recorded in
an open image.
The image file to modify can be specified 2 ways:
1) image filename
2) image node-name
Note: this does not cause the backing file itself to be reopened; it
merely changes the backing filename in the image file structure, and
in internal BDS structures.
It is the responsibility of the user to pass a filename string that
can be resolved when the image chain is reopened, and the filename
string is not validated.
A good analogy for this command is that it is a live version of
'qemu-img rebase -u', with respect to changing the backing file string.
[Jeff is offline so I respun this patch in his absence. Dropped image
filename since using node-name is preferred and this is a new command.
No need to introduce the limitations of finding images by filename.

The existing test whether "-lm" needs to be included or not is
insufficient as it reports false negative on Fedora20/ppc64.
This happens because sin(0.0) is a constant value which compiler
can safely throw away and therefore there is no need to add "-lm".
As the result, qemu-nbd/qemu-io/qemu-img tools cannot compile.
This adds a global variable and uses it in the test to prevent

When a device is unparented (i.e. made completely hidden from management)
we want to send a DEVICE_DELETED event only if the device actually was
realized. This avoids raising DEVICE_DELETED events when device_add
fails.
However, this does not work right for recursively-deleted
devices: the whole tree is _first_ unrealized, _then_ unparented.
Then device_unparent sees realized==false and fails to trigger
the event. The solution is simply to move have_realized into
the DeviceState struct. If device_add fails, we never set the
new field to true and DEVICE_DELETED is not sent.
Fixes qemu-iotests testcase 067 (broken by commit 5942a19, though that
commit in turn fixed a possible segfault in the same test).

libqtest is using g_strdup_printf to format QMP commands, but
this does not work if the argument strings need to be escaped.
Instead, use the fancy %-formatting functionality of QObject.

parameterized QMP commands is not that frequent.

Add 'nocow' option so that users could have a chance to set NOCOW flag to
newly created files. It's useful on btrfs file system to enhance performance.
Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad
performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there are
two ways to turn off NOCOW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow, then
all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.
This patch tries the second way, according to the option, it could add NOCOW
per file.
For most block drivers, since the create file step is in raw-posix.c, so we
can do setting NOCOW flag ioctl in raw-posix.c only.
But there are some exceptions, like block/vpc.c and block/vdi.c, they are
creating file by calling qemu_open directly. For them, do the same setting
NOCOW flag ioctl work in them separately.
