2019-09-24qapi: Remove null from schema languageMarkus Armbruster
We represent the parse tree as OrderedDict. We fetch optional dict members with .get(). So far, so good. We represent null literals as None. .get() returns None both for "absent" and for "present, value is the null literal". Uh-oh. Test features-if-invalid exposes this bug: "'if': null" is misinterpreted as absent "if". We added null to the schema language to "allow [...] an explicit default value" (commit e53188ada5 "qapi: Allow true, false and null in schema json", v2.4.0). Hasn't happened; null is still unused except as generic invalid value in tests/. To fix, we'd have to replace .get() by something more careful, or represent null differently. Feasible, but we got more and bigger fish to fry right now. Remove the null literal from the schema language. Replace null in tests by another invalid value. Test features-if-invalid now behaves as it should.

2019-09-24docs/devel/qapi-code-gen: Improve QAPI schema language docMarkus Armbruster
We document the language by giving patterns of valid JSON objects. The patterns contain placeholders we don't define anywhere; their names have to speak for themselves. I guess they do, but I'd prefer a bit more rigor. Provide a grammar instead, and rework the text accordingly. Documentation for QAPI schema conditionals (commit 967c885108, 6cc32b0e14, 87adbbffd4..3e270dcacc) and feature flags (commit 6a8c0b5102) was bolted on. The sections documenting types, commands and events don't mention them. Section "Features" and "Configuring the schema" then provide additional syntax for types, commands and events. I hate that. Fix the sections documenting types, commands and events to provide accurate syntax, and point to "Features" and "Configuring the schema" for details. We talk about "(top-level) expressions other than include and pragma". Adopt more convenient terminology: a (top-level) expression is either a directive (include or pragma) or a definition (anything else). Avoid the terms "dictionary" and "key". Stick to JSON terminology "object" and "member name" instead. While there, make spacing more consistent.

2019-09-24docs/devel/qapi-code-gen: Reorder sections for readabilityMarkus Armbruster
Section "QMP/Guest agent schema" starts with a brief introduction, then subsection "Comments", then subsection "Schema overview" (more elaborate introduction), and only then talks about schema entities like types, commands, and so forth. Subsection "Comments" is long and tiring: almost 500 words, mostly about doc comments. Move the doc comment part to its own subsection "Documentation comments" at the very end of "QMP/Guest agent schema". Subsection "Schema overview" explains naming rules at considerable length: 250 words. Move this part to its own subsection "Naming rules and reserved names" right after the subsections on schema entities.

2019-09-24docs/devel/qapi-code-gen: Minor specification fixesMarkus Armbruster
The specification claims "Each expression that isn't an include directive may be preceded by a documentation block", but the code also rejects them for pragma directives. The code is correct. Fix the specification. The specification reserves member names starting with 'has_', but the code also reserves name 'u'. Fix the specification. The specification claims "The string 'max' is not allowed as an enum value". Untrue. Fix the specification. While there, delete the naming advice, because it's redundant with the naming rules in section "Schema overview" The specification claims "No branch of the union can be named 'max', as this would collide with the implicit enum". Untrue. Fix the specification. The specification claims "It is not allowed to name an event 'MAX', since the generator also produces a C enumeration of all event names with a generated _MAX value at the end." Untrue. Fix the specification. The specification claims "All branches of the union must be complex types", but the code permits only struct types. The code is correct. Fix the specification. The specification claims a command's return type "must be the string name of a complex or built-in type, a one-element array containing the name of a complex or built-in type" unless the command is in pragma 'returns-whitelist'.

2019-09-24qapi: Drop support for boxed alternate argumentsMarkus Armbruster
Commands and events can define their argument type inline (default) or by referring to another type ('boxed': true, since commit c818408e44 "qapi: Implement boxed types for commands/events", v2.7.0). The unboxed inline definition is an (anonymous) struct type. The boxed type may be a struct, union, or alternate type. The latter is problematic: docs/interop/qemu-spec.txt requires the value of the 'data' key to be a json-object, but any non-degenerate alternate type has at least one branch that isn't. Fortunately, we haven't made use of alternates in this context outside tests/. Drop support for them. QAPISchemaAlternateType.is_empty() is now unused. Drop it, too.

2019-09-17ui: add an embedded Barrier clientLaurent Vivier
This allows to receive mouse and keyboard events from a Barrier server. This is enabled by adding the following parameter on the command line ... -object input-barrier,id=$id,name=$name ... Where $name is the name declared in the screens section of barrier.conf The barrier server (barriers) must be configured and must run on the local host. For instance: section: screens localhost: ... VM-1: ... end section: links localhost: right = VM-1 VM-1: left = localhost end Then on the QEMU command line: ... -object input-barrier,id=barrie0,name=VM-1 ... When the mouse will move out of the screen of the local host on the right, the mouse and the keyboard will be grabbed and all related events will be send to the guest OS. This is usefull when qemu is configured without emulated graphic card but with a VFIO attached graphic card. More information about Barrier can be found at: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier This avoids to install the Barrier server in the guest OS, for instance when it is not supported or during the installation.

2019-09-05nbd: Prepare for NBD_CMD_FLAG_FAST_ZEROEric Blake
Commit fe0480d6 and friends added BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK as a way to avoid wasting time on a preliminary write-zero request that will later be rewritten by actual data, if it is known that the write-zero request will use a slow fallback; but in doing so, could not optimize for NBD. The NBD specification is now considering an extension that will allow passing on those semantics; this patch updates the new protocol bits and 'qemu-nbd --list' output to recognize the bit, as well as the new errno value possible when using the new flag; while upcoming patches will improve the client to use the feature when present, and the server to advertise support for it. The NBD spec recommends (but not requires) that ENOTSUP be avoided for all but failures of a fast zero (the only time it is mandatory to avoid an ENOTSUP failure is when fast zero is supported but not requested during write zeroes; the questionable use is for ENOTSUP to other actions like a normal write request). However, clients that get an unexpected ENOTSUP will either already be treating it the same as EINVAL, or may appreciate the extra bit of information. We were equally loose for returning EOVERFLOW in more situations than recommended by the spec, so if it turns out to be a problem in practice, a later patch can tighten handling for both error codes.

2019-09-05nbd: Advertise multi-conn for shared read-only connectionsEric Blake
The NBD specification defines NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, which can be advertised when the server promises cache consistency between simultaneous clients (basically, rules that determine what FUA and flush from one client are able to guarantee for reads from another client). When we don't permit simultaneous clients (such as qemu-nbd without -e), the bit makes no sense; and for writable images, we probably have a lot more work before we can declare that actions from one client are cache-consistent with actions from another. But for read-only images, where flush isn't changing any data, we might as well advertise multi-conn support. What's more, advertisement of the bit makes it easier for clients to determine if 'qemu-nbd -e' was in use, where a second connection will succeed rather than hang until the first client goes away. This patch affects qemu as server in advertising the bit. We may want to consider patches to qemu as client to attempt parallel connections for higher throughput by spreading the load over those connections when a server advertises multi-conn, but for now sticking to one connection per nbd:// BDS is okay.

2019-09-05qemu-doc: Do not hard-code the name of the QEMU binaryThomas Huth
In our documentation, we use a mix of "$QEMU", "qemu-system-i386" and "qemu-system-x86_64" when we give examples to the users how to run QEMU. Some more consistency would be good here. Also some distributions use different names for the QEMU binary (e.g. "qemu-kvm" in RHEL), so providing more flexibility here would also be good. Thus let's define some variables for the names of the QEMU command and use those in the documentation instead: @value{qemu_system} for generic examples, and @value{qemu_system_x86} for examples that only work with the x86 binaries.

2019-08-19doc: Preallocation does not require writing zeroesMax Reitz
When preallocating an encrypted qcow2 image, it just lets the protocol driver write data and then does not mark the clusters as zero. Therefore, reading this image will yield effectively random data. As such, we have not fulfilled the promise of always writing zeroes when preallocating an image in a while. It seems that nobody has really cared, so change the documentation to conform to qemu's actual behavior.

2019-07-25docs: clarify multiqueue vs multiple virtqueuesStefan Hajnoczi
The vhost-user specification does not explain when VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ must be implemented. This may lead implementors of vhost-user masters to believe that this protocol feature is required for any device that has multiple virtqueues. That would be a mistake since existing vhost-user slaves offer multiple virtqueues but do not advertise VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ. For example, a vhost-net device with one rx/tx queue pair is not multiqueue. The slave does not need to advertise VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ. Therefore the master must assume it has these virtqueues and cannot rely on askingt the slave how many virtqueues exist. Extend the specification to explain the different between true multiqueue and regular devices with a fixed virtqueue layout.

2019-07-19doc: document that the monitor console is a privileged control interfaceDaniel P. Berrangé
A supposed exploit of QEMU was recently announced as CVE-2019-12928 claiming that the monitor console was insecure because the "migrate" command enabled arbitrary command execution for a remote attacker. To be a security risk the user launching QEMU must have configured the monitor in a way that allows for other users to access it. The exploit report quoted use of the "tcp" character device backend for QMP. This would indeed allow any network user to connect to QEMU and execute arbitrary commands, however, this is not a flaw in QEMU. It is the normal expected behaviour of the monitor console and the commands it supports. Given a monitor connection, there are many ways to access host file system content besides the migrate command. The reality is that the monitor console (whether QMP or HMP) is considered a privileged interface to QEMU and as such must only be made available to trusted users. IOW, making it available with no authentication over TCP is simply a, very serious, user configuration error not a security flaw in QEMU itself. The one thing this bogus security report highlights though is that we have not clearly documented the security implications around the use of the monitor. Add a few paragraphs of text to the security docs explaining why the monitor is a privileged interface and making a recommendation to only use the UNIX socket character device backend.

2019-07-10docs/bitmaps: use QMP lexer instead of jsonJohn Snow
The annotated style json we use in QMP documentation is not strict json and depending on the version of Sphinx (2.0+) or Pygments installed, might cause the build to fail. Use the new QMP lexer. Further, some versions of Sphinx can not apply custom lexers to "code" directives and require the use of "code-block" directives instead, so make that change at this time as well. Tested under: - Sphinx 1.3.6 and Pygments 2.4 - Sphinx 1.7.6 and Pygments 2.2 (Fedora 29 packages) - Sphinx 2.0.1 and Pygments 2.4 - Sphinx 3.0.0+/f396b3a783 and Pygments 2.4 (From Sphinx git c4f44bdd) Reported-by: Aarushi Mehta <mehta.aaru20@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Message-id: 20190603214653.29369-4-jsnow@redhat.com Signed-off-by: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>
2019-07-10sphinx: add qmp_lexerJohn Snow
Sphinx, through Pygments, does not like annotated json examples very much. In some versions of Sphinx (1.7), it will render the non-json portions of code blocks in red, but in newer versions (2.0) it will throw an exception and not highlight the block at all. Though we can suppress this warning, it doesn't bring back highlighting on non-strict json blocks. We can alleviate this by creating a custom lexer for QMP examples that allows us to properly highlight these examples in a robust way, keeping our directionality and elision notations.

2019-07-04docs: avoid vhost-user-net specifics in multiqueue sectionStefan Hajnoczi
The "Multiple queue support" section makes references to vhost-user-net "queue pairs". This is confusing for two reasons: 1. This actually applies to all device types, not just vhost-user-net. 2. VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM returns the number of virtqueues, not the number of queue pairs. Reword the section so that the vhost-user-net specific part is relegated to the very end: we acknowledge that vhost-user-net historically automatically enabled the first queue pair.
