2018-02-09Include qapi/error.h exactly where neededMarkus Armbruster
This cleanup makes the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h drop from 1910 (out of 4743) to 1612 in my "build everything" tree. While there, separate #include from file comment with a blank line, and drop a useless comment on why qemu/osdep.h is included first.

2018-02-08docs: Add docs/devel/testing.rstFam Zheng
To make our efforts on QEMU testing easier to consume by contributors, let's add a document. For example, Patchew reports build errors on patches that should be relatively easy to reproduce with a few steps, and it is much nicer if there is such a documentation that it can refer to. This focuses on how to run existing tests and how to write new test cases, without going into the frameworks themselves. The VM based testing section is moved from tests/vm/README which now is a single line pointing to the new doc.

2018-01-19nvdimm: add 'unarmed' optionHaozhong Zhang
Currently the only vNVDIMM backend can guarantee the guest write persistence is device DAX on Linux, because no host-side kernel cache is involved in the guest access to it. The approach to detect whether the backend is device DAX needs to access sysfs, which may not work with SELinux. Instead, we add the 'unarmed' option to device 'nvdimm', so that users or management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend, can control the unarmed flag in guest ACPI NFIT via this option. The guest Linux NVDIMM driver, for example, will mark the corresponding vNVDIMM device read-only if the unarmed flag in guest NFIT is set. The default value of 'unarmed' option is 'off' in order to keep the backwards compatibility.

2018-01-19hostmem-file: add "align" optionHaozhong Zhang
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.

2017-11-27QAPI & interop: Clarify events emitted by 'block-job-cancel'Kashyap Chamarthy
When you cancel an in-progress 'mirror' job (or "active `block-commit`") with QMP `block-job-cancel`, it emits the event: BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED. However, when `block-job-cancel` is issued *after* `drive-mirror` has indicated (via the event BLOCK_JOB_READY) that the source and destination have reached synchronization: [...] # Snip `drive-mirror` invocation & outputs { "execute":"block-job-cancel", "arguments":{ "device":"virtio0" } } {"return": {}} It (`block-job-cancel`) will counterintuitively emit the event 'BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED': { "timestamp":{ "seconds":1510678024, "microseconds":526240 }, "event":"BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED", "data":{ "device":"virtio0", "len":41126400, "offset":41126400, "speed":0, "type":"mirror" } } But this is expected behaviour, where the _COMPLETED event indicates that synchronization has successfully ended (and the destination now has a point-in-time copy, which is at the time of cancel). So add a small note to this effect in 'block-core.json'. While at it, also update the "Live disk synchronization -- drive-mirror and blockdev-mirror" section in 'live-block-operations.rst'.

2017-11-21Use qemu.org domain nameStefan Hajnoczi
The owner of qemu.org has delegated authority to modify DNS records to the QEMU Project. This has allowed us to use the domain name without worries about IP address changes or technical issues disrupting service. The issues described in commit 859389810910f232188675d2f10b15f1aad77660 ("Use qemu-project.org domain name") have therefore been mitigated. This patch switches back to consistently using qemu.org instead of qemu-project.org in documentation, version.rc, and the Windows installer script. The git submodules and SeaBIOS still use qemu-project.org for the time being. This will be fixed in the QEMU 2.12 release cycle.

2017-09-22scsi: add multipath support to qemu-pr-helperPaolo Bonzini
Proper support of persistent reservation for multipath devices requires communication with the multipath daemon, so that the reservation is registered and applied when a path comes up. The device mapper utilities provide a library to do so; this patch makes qemu-pr-helper.c detect multipath devices and, when one is found, delegate the operation to libmpathpersist.

2017-09-22scsi: build qemu-pr-helperPaolo Bonzini
Introduce a privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands. This lets virtual machines send persistent reservations without using CAP_SYS_RAWIO or out-of-tree patches. The helper uses Unix permissions and SCM_RIGHTS to restrict access to processes that can access its socket and prove that they have an open file descriptor for a raw SCSI device. The next patch will also correct the usage of persistent reservations with multipath devices. It would also be possible to support for Linux's IOC_PR_* ioctls in the future, to support NVMe devices. For now, however, only SCSI is supported. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2017-09-22scsi, file-posix: add support for persistent reservation managementPaolo Bonzini
It is a common requirement for virtual machine to send persistent reservations, but this currently requires either running QEMU with CAP_SYS_RAWIO, or using out-of-tree patches that let an unprivileged QEMU bypass Linux's filter on SG_IO commands. As an alternative mechanism, the next patches will introduce a privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands without expanding QEMU's attack surface unnecessarily. The helper is invoked through a "pr-manager" QOM object, to which file-posix.c passes SG_IO requests for PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT and PERSISTENT RESERVE IN commands. For example: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-scsi \ -object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock -drive if=none,id=hd,driver=raw,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0 -device scsi-block,drive=hd or: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-scsi \ -object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock -blockdev node-name=hd,driver=raw,file.driver=host_device,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0 -device scsi-block,drive=hd Multiple pr-manager implementations are conceivable and possible, though only one is implemented right now. For example, a pr-manager could: - talk directly to the multipath daemon from a privileged QEMU (i.e. QEMU links to libmpathpersist); this makes reservation work properly with multipath, but still requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO - use the Linux IOC_PR_* ioctls (they require CAP_SYS_ADMIN though) - more interestingly, implement reservations directly in QEMU through file system locks or a shared database (e.g. sqlite) Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2017-09-21memory: avoid "resurrection" of dead FlatViewsPaolo Bonzini
It's possible for address_space_get_flatview() as it currently stands to cause a use-after-free for the returned FlatView, if the reference count is incremented after the FlatView has been replaced by a writer: thread 1 thread 2 RCU thread ------------------------------------------------------------- rcu_read_lock read as->current_map set as->current_map flatview_unref '--> call_rcu flatview_ref [ref=1] rcu_read_unlock flatview_destroy <badness> Since FlatViews are not updated very often, we can just detect the situation using a new atomic op atomic_fetch_inc_nonzero, similar to Linux's atomic_inc_not_zero, which performs the refcount increment only if it hasn't already hit zero. This is similar to Linux commit de09a9771a53 ("CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead credentials", 2010-07-29). Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2017-08-02vhost-user: fix legacy cross-endian configurationsFelipe Franciosi
Currently, vhost-user does not implement any means for notifying the backend about guest endianess. This commit introduces a new message called VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENDIAN which is analogous to the ioctl() called VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN used for kernel vhost backends. Such message is necessary for backends supporting legacy (pre-1.0) virtio devices running in big-endian guests.

2017-08-01trace: add trace_event_get_state_backends()Stefan Hajnoczi
Code that checks dstate is unaware of SystemTap and LTTng UST dstate, so the following trace event will not fire when solely enabled by SystemTap or LTTng UST: if (trace_event_get_state(TRACE_MY_EVENT)) { str = g_strdup_printf("Expensive string to generate ...", ...); trace_my_event(str); g_free(str); } Add trace_event_get_state_backends() to fetch backend dstate. Those backends that use QEMU dstate fetch it as part of generate_h_backend_dstate(). Update existing trace_event_get_state() callers to use trace_event_get_state_backends() instead.
