2019-05-13Makefile: Fix inclusion of the config-devices.mak.d Kconfig dependenciesThomas Huth
The Makefile tries to include device Kconfig dependencies via -include $(SUBDIR_DEVICES_MAK_DEP) and thus expects files that match *-softmmu/config-devices.mak.d ... however, the minikconf script currently generates files a la "*-softmmu-config.devices.mak.d" instead, so the dependency files simply got ignored so far. For example, after a "touch hw/arm/Kconfig", the arm-softmmu/config-devices.mak file is currently not re-generated. Fix it by putting the dependency files in the *-softmmu folders now.

2019-05-10docs: add Secure Coding Practices to developer docsStefan Hajnoczi
At KVM Forum 2018 I gave a presentation on security in QEMU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAdRf_hwxU8 (video) https://vmsplice.net/~stefan/stefanha-kvm-forum-2018.pdf (slides) This patch adds a guide to secure coding practices. This document covers things that developers should know about security in QEMU. It is just a starting point that we can expand on later. I hope it will be useful as a resource for new contributors and will save code reviewers from explaining the same concepts many times.

2019-05-02tests/acceptance: look for target architecture in test tags firstCleber Rosa
A test can, optionally, be tagged for one or many architectures. If a test has been tagged for a single architecture, there's a high chance that the test won't run on other architectures. This changes the default order of choosing a default target architecture to use based on the 'arch' tag value first. The precedence order is for choosing a QEMU binary to use for a test is now: * qemu_bin parameter * arch parameter * arch tag value (for example, x86_64 if ":avocado: tags=arch:x86_64 is used) This means that if one runs: $ avocado run -p qemu_bin=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 test.py No arch parameter or tag will influence the selection of the QEMU target binary. If one runs: $ avocado run -p arch=ppc64 test.py The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary such as "ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64". And finally, if one runs a test that is tagged (in its docstring) with "arch:aarch64": $ avocado run aarch64.py The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary such as "aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64". At this time, no provision is made to cancel the execution of tests if the arch parameter given (manually) does not match the test "arch" tag, but it may be a useful default behavior to be added in the future.

2019-05-02tests/acceptance: introduce arch parameter and attributeCleber Rosa
It's useful to define the architecture that should be used in situations such as: * the intended target of the QEMU binary to be used on tests * the architecture of code to be run within the QEMU binary, such as a kernel image or a full blown guest OS image This commit introduces both a test parameter and a test instance attribute, that will contain such a value. Now, when the "arch" test parameter is given, it will influence the selection of the default QEMU binary, if one is not given explicitly by means of the "qemu_img" parameter.

2019-03-12vhost-user: Support transferring inflight buffer between qemu and backendXie Yongji
This patch introduces two new messages VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD and VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD to support transferring a shared buffer between qemu and backend. Firstly, qemu uses VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD to get the shared buffer from backend. Then qemu should send it back through VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD each time we start vhost-user. This shared buffer is used to track inflight I/O by backend. Qemu should retrieve a new one when vm reset.

2019-03-08qcow2: Default to 4KB for the qcow2 cache entry sizeAlberto Garcia
QEMU 2.12 (commit 1221fe6f636754ab5f2c1c87caa77633e9123622) introduced a new setting called l2-cache-entry-size that allows making entries on the qcow2 L2 cache smaller than the cluster size. I have been performing several tests with different cluster and entry sizes and all of them show that reducing the entry size (aka L2 slice) consistently improves I/O performance, notably during random I/O (all tests done with sequential I/O show similar results). This is to be expected because loading and evicting an L2 slice is more expensive the larger the slice is. Here are some numbers on fully populated 40GB qcow2 images. The rightmost column represents the maximum L2 cache size in both cases. Cluster size = 64 KB |-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------| | | 1MB L2 cache | 3MB L2 cache | 5MB L2 cache | |-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------| | 4KB slices | 6545 IOPS | 12045 IOPS | 55680 IOPS | | 16KB slices | 5177 IOPS | 9798 IOPS | 56278 IOPS | | 64KB slices | 2718 IOPS | 5326 IOPS | 57355 IOPS | |-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------| Cluster size = 256 KB |--------------+----------------+--------------+-----------------| | | 512KB L2 cache | 1MB L2 cache | 1280KB L2 cache | |--------------+----------------+--------------+-----------------| | 4KB slices | 8539 IOPS | 21071 IOPS | 55417 IOPS | | 64KB slices | 3598 IOPS | 9772 IOPS | 57687 IOPS | | 256KB slices | 1415 IOPS | 4120 IOPS | 58001 IOPS | |--------------+----------------+--------------+-----------------| As can be seen in the numbers, the only exception to the rule is when the cache is large enough to hold all L2 tables. This is also to be expected because in this case no cache entry is ever evicted so reducing its size doesn't bring any benefit. This patch sets the default L2 cache entry size to 4KB except when the cache is large enough for the whole disk.

Instead of including the same list of devices for each target, set CONFIG_PCI to true, and make the devices default to present whenever PCI is available. However, s390x does not want all the PCI devices, so there is a separate symbol to enable them. Done mostly with the following script: while read i; do i=${i%=y}; i=${i#CONFIG_} sed -i -e'/^config '$i'$/!b' -en \ -e'a\' -e' default y if PCI_DEVICES\' -e' depends on PCI' \ `grep -lw $i hw/*/Kconfig` done < default-configs/pci.mak followed by replacing a few "depends on" clauses with "select" whenever the symbol is not really related to PCI.

2019-03-07docs: Provide separate conf.py for each manual we wantPeter Maydell
By default Sphinx wants to build a single manual at once. For QEMU, this doesn't suit us, because we want to have separate manuals for "Developer's Guide", "User Manual", and so on, and we don't want to ship the Developer's Guide to end-users. However, we don't want to completely duplicate conf.py for each manual, and we'd like to continue to support "build all docs in one run" for third-party sites like readthedocs.org. Make the top-level conf.py support two usage forms: (1) as a common config file which is included by the conf.py for each of QEMU's manuals: in this case sphinx-build is run multiple times, once per subdirectory. (2) as a top level conf file which will result in building all the manuals into a single document: in this case sphinx-build is run once, on the top-level docs directory. Provide per-manual conf.py files and top level pages for our first two manuals: * QEMU Developer's Guide (docs/devel) * QEMU System Emulation Management and Interoperability Guide (docs/interop) Reviewed-by: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> Acked-by: Aleksandar Markovic <amarkovic@wavecomp.com> Message-id: 20190305172139.32662-9-peter.maydell@linaro.org Message-id: 20190228145624.24885-9-peter.maydell@linaro.org

2019-02-22tests.acceptance: adds multi vm capability for acceptance testsCaio Carrara
This change adds the possibility to write acceptance tests with multi virtual machine support. It's done keeping the virtual machines objects stored in a test attribute (dictionary). This dictionary shouldn't be accessed directly but through the new method added `get_vm`. This new method accept a list of args (that will be added as virtual machine arguments) and an optional name argument. The name is the key that identify a single virtual machine along the test machines available. If a name without a machine is informed a new machine will be instantiated. The current usage of vm in tests will not be broken by this change since it keeps a property called vm in the base test class. This property only calls the new method `get_vm` with default parameters (no args and 'default' as machine name).

2019-02-22Acceptance tests: drop usage of ":avocado: enable"Cleber Rosa
The Avocado test runner attemps to find its INSTRUMENTED (that is, Python based tests) in a manner that is as safe as possible to the user. Different from plain Python unittest, it won't load or execute test code on an operation such as: $ avocado list tests/acceptance/ Before version 68.0, the logic implemented to identify INSTRUMENTED tests would require either the ":avocado: enable" or ":avocado: recursive" statement as a flag for tests that would not inherit directly from "avocado.Test". This is not necessary anymore, and because of that the boiler plate statements can now be removed.

2019-02-11docs/devel/testing: Add -a option to usermod command on docker setupMurilo Opsfelder Araujo
The option -G of usermod command will remove user from other groups not listed, i.e.: $USER will belong only to group 'docker' after following the documentation as is. From usermod(8) manual page: If the user is currently a member of a group which is not listed, the user will be removed from the group. This behaviour can be changed via the -a option, which appends the user to the current supplementary group list. This patch improves the situation by adding the -a option to the usermod command, which will just append user to the supplementary group list.
