2023-09-11docs/about/license: Update LICENSE URLPhilippe Mathieu-Daudé
In early 2021 (see commit 2ad784339e "docs: update README to use GitLab repo URLs") almost all of the code base was converted to point to GitLab instead of git.qemu.org. During 2023, git.qemu.org switched from a git mirror to a http redirect to GitLab (see [1]). Update the LICENSE URL to match its previous content, displaying the file raw content similarly to gitweb 'blob_plain' format ([2]).

It's becoming harder to maintain a cross-compiler to test this host architecture as the old stable Debian 10 ("Buster") moved into LTS which supports fewer architectures. For now: - mark it's deprecation in the docs - downgrade the containers to build TCG tests only - drop the cross builds from our CI Users with an appropriate toolchain and user-space can still take their chances building it.

2022-09-20qga: Replace 'blacklist' command line and config file options by 'block-rpcs'Thomas Huth
Let's use a more appropriate wording for this command line and config file option. The old ones are still accepted for compatibility reasons, but marked as deprecated now so that it could be removed in a future version of QEMU. This change is based on earlier patches from Philippe Mathieu-Daudé, with the idea for the new option name suggested by BALATON Zoltan. And while we're at it, replace the "?" in the help text with "help" since that does not have the problem of conflicting with the wildcard character of the shells.

2022-07-22docs: Add caveats for Windows as the build platformBin Meng
Commit cf60ccc3306c ("cutils: Introduce bundle mechanism") introduced a Python script to populate a bundle directory using os.symlink() to point to the binaries in the pc-bios directory of the source tree. Commit 882084a04ae9 ("datadir: Use bundle mechanism") removed previous logic in pc-bios/meson.build to create a link/copy of pc-bios binaries in the build tree so os.symlink() is the way to go. However os.symlink() may fail [1] on Windows if an unprivileged Windows user started the QEMU build process, which results in QEMU executables generated in the build tree not able to load the default BIOS/firmware images due to symbolic links not present in the bundle directory. This commits updates the documentation by adding such caveats for users who want to build QEMU on the Windows platform.

2022-07-13cutils: Introduce bundle mechanismAkihiko Odaki
Developers often run QEMU without installing. The bundle mechanism allows to look up files which should be present in installation even in such a situation. It is a general mechanism and can find any files in the installation tree. The build tree will have a new directory, qemu-bundle, to represent what files the installation tree would have for reference by the executables. Note that it abandons compatibility with Windows older than 8. The extended support for the prior version, 7 ended more than 2 years ago, and it is unlikely that someone would like to run the latest QEMU on such an old system.

2022-07-07hw/arm/virt: dt: add rng-seed propertyJason A. Donenfeld
In 60592cfed2 ("hw/arm/virt: dt: add kaslr-seed property"), the kaslr-seed property was added, but the equally as important rng-seed property was forgotten about, which has identical semantics for a similar purpose. This commit implements it in exactly the same way as kaslr-seed. It then changes the name of the disabling option to reflect that this has more to do with randomness vs determinism, rather than something particular about kaslr.

2022-05-18docs/about: Update the support statement for WindowsThomas Huth
Our support statement for Windows currently talks about "Vista / Server 2008" - which is related to the API of Windows, and this is not easy to understand for the non-technical users. Additionally, glib sets the _WIN32_WINNT macro to 0x0601 already, which indicates the Windows 7 API, so QEMU effectively depends on the Windows 7 API, too. Thus let's bump the _WIN32_WINNT setting in QEMU to the same level as glib uses and adjust our support statement in the documentation to something similar that we're using for Linux and the *BSD systems (i.e. only the two most recent versions), which should hopefully be easier to understand for the users now. And since we're nowadays also compile-testing QEMU with MSYS2 on Windows itself, I think we could mention this build environment here, too.

2022-05-14introduce -audio as a replacement for -soundhwPaolo Bonzini
-audio is used like "-audio pa,model=sb16". It is almost as simple as -soundhw, but it reuses the -audiodev parsing machinery and attaches an audiodev to the newly-created device. The main 'feature' is that it knows about adding the codec device for model=intel-hda, and adding the audiodev to the codec device. In the future, it could be extended to support default models or builtin devices, just like -nic, or even a default backend. For now, keep it simple.

However, the uses of -writeconfig are substantially more limited, as it is generally easier to write the configuration by hand in the first place.

2021-11-09qapi: deprecate drive-backupVladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy
Modern way is using blockdev-add + blockdev-backup, which provides a lot more control on how target is opened. As example of drive-backup problems consider the following: User of drive-backup expects that target will be opened in the same cache and aio mode as source. Corresponding logic is in drive_backup_prepare(), where we take bs->open_flags of source. It works rather bad if source was added by blockdev-add. Assume source is qcow2 image. On blockdev-add we should specify aio and cache options for file child of qcow2 node. What happens next: drive_backup_prepare() looks at bs->open_flags of qcow2 source node. But there no BDRV_O_NOCAHE neither BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO: BDRV_O_NOCAHE is places in bs->file->bs->open_flags, and BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO is nowhere, as file-posix parse options and simply set s->use_linux_aio. The documentation is updated in a minimal way, so that drive-backup is noted only as a deprecated command, and blockdev-backup used in most of places.

-watchdog is the same as -device except that it is case insensitive (and it allows only watchdog devices of course). Now that "-device help" can list as such the available watchdog devices, we can deprecate it. Note that even though -watchdog tries to be case insensitive, it fails at that: "-watchdog i6300xyz" fails with "Unknown -watchdog device", but "-watchdog i6300ESB" also fails (when the generated -device option is processed) with an error "'i6300ESB' is not a valid device model name". For this reason, the documentation update does not mention the case insensitivity of -watchdog. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2021-10-27qapi: Enable enum member introspection to show more than nameMarkus Armbruster
The next commit will add feature flags to enum members. There's a problem, though: query-qmp-schema shows an enum type's members as an array of member names (SchemaInfoEnum member @values). If it showed an array of objects with a name member, we could simply add more members to these objects. Since it's just strings, we can't. I can see three ways to correct this design mistake: 1. Do it the way we should have done it, plus compatibility goo. We want a ['SchemaInfoEnumMember'] member in SchemaInfoEnum. Since changing @values would be a compatibility break, add a new member @members instead. @values is now redundant. In my testing, output of qemu-system-x86_64's query-qmp-schema grows by 11% (18.5KiB). We can deprecate @values now and drop it later. This will break outmoded clients. Well-behaved clients such as libvirt are expected to break cleanly. 2. Like 1, but omit "boring" elements of @member, and empty @member. @values does not become redundant. @members augments it. Somewhat cumbersome, but output of query-qmp-schema grows only as we make enum members non-boring. There is nothing to deprecate here. 3. Versioned query-qmp-schema. query-qmp-schema provides either @values or @members. The QMP client can select which version it wants. There is no redundant output. We can deprecate old versions and eventually drop them. This will break outmoded clients. Breaking cleanly is easier than for 1. While 1 and 2 operate within the common rules for compatible evolution apply (section "Compatibility considerations" in docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst), 3 bypasses them. Attractive when operating within the rules is just too awkward. Not the case here. This commit implements 1. Libvirt developers prefer it. Deprecate @values in favour of @members. Since query-qmp-schema compatibility is pretty fundamental for management applications, an extended grace period is advised.

2021-10-01machine: Deprecate "parameter=0" SMP configurationsYanan Wang
In the SMP configuration, we should either provide a topology parameter with a reasonable value (greater than zero) or just omit it and QEMU will compute the missing value. The users shouldn't provide a configuration with any parameter of it specified as zero (e.g. -smp 8,sockets=0) which could possibly cause unexpected results in the -smp parsing. So we deprecate this kind of configurations since 6.2 by adding the explicit sanity check.
