2019-03-20docs: add note about stibp CPU feature for spectre v2Daniel P. Berrangé
While the stibp CPU feature is not commonly used by guest OS for spectre mitigation due to its performance impact, it is none the less best practice to expose it to all guest OS. This allows the guest OS to decide whether to make use or it. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2019-03-20docs: clarify that spec-ctrl is only needed for Spectre v2Daniel P. Berrangé
The docs currently say that the spec-ctrl feature is needed for both Spectre variants, but it is only used to address Spectre v2. Also remove the note about retpolines. The guest OS is usually treated as a blackbox from host mgmt pov, so it won't have knowledge about use of retpolines and thus should unconditionally expose spec-ctrl, allowing the guest to decide whether to use it or not.

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.

2019-03-07build: convert pci.mak to KconfigPaolo Bonzini
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.

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).

2019-02-18qapi: Generate QAPIEvent stuff into separate filesMarkus Armbruster
Having to include qapi-events.h just for QAPIEvent is suboptimal, but quite tolerable now.

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.

In particular it creates another set of tapsets, one per emulator: /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/qemu-*-log.stp These pre-define probe functions which simply call printf() on their arguments. The printf() format string is taken from the normal trace-events files, with a little munging to the format specifiers to cope with systemtap's more restrictive syntax. With this you can now do $ stap -e 'probe qemu.system.x86_64.log.qio*{}' 22806@1547735341399856820 qio_channel_socket_new Socket new ioc=0x56135d1d7c00 22806@1547735341399862570 qio_task_new Task new task=0x56135cd66eb0 source=0x56135d1d7c00 func=0x56135af746c0 opaque=0x56135bf06400 22806@1547735341399865943 qio_task_thread_start Task thread start task=0x56135cd66eb0 worker=0x56135af72e50 opaque=0x56135c071d70 22806@1547735341399976816 qio_task_thread_run Task thread run task=0x56135cd66eb0 We go one step further though and introduce a 'qemu-trace-stap' tool to make this even easier $ qemu-trace-stap run qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*' 22806@1547735341399856820 qio_channel_socket_new Socket new ioc=0x56135d1d7c00 22806@1547735341399862570 qio_task_new Task new task=0x56135cd66eb0 source=0x56135d1d7c00 func=0x56135af746c0 opaque=0x56135bf06400 22806@1547735341399865943 qio_task_thread_start Task thread start task=0x56135cd66eb0 worker=0x56135af72e50 opaque=0x56135c071d70 22806@1547735341399976816 qio_task_thread_run Task thread run task=0x56135cd66eb0 This tool is clever in that it will automatically change the SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET env variable to point to the directory containing the right set of probes for the QEMU binary path you give it.

2019-01-24qapi: Eliminate indirection through qmp_event_get_func_emit()Markus Armbruster
The qapi_event_send_FOO() functions emit events like this: QMPEventFuncEmit emit; emit = qmp_event_get_func_emit(); if (!emit) { return; } qmp = qmp_event_build_dict("FOO"); [put event arguments into @qmp...] emit(QAPI_EVENT_FOO, qmp); The value of qmp_event_get_func_emit() depends only on the program: * In qemu-system-FOO, it's always monitor_qapi_event_queue. * In tests/test-qmp-event, it's always event_test_emit. * In all other programs, it's always null. This is exactly the kind of dependence the linker is supposed to resolve; we don't actually need an indirection. Note that things would fall apart if we linked more than one QAPI schema into a single program: each set of qapi_event_send_FOO() uses its own event enumeration, yet they share a single emit function. Which takes the event enumeration as an argument. Which one if there's more than one? More seriously: how does this work even now? qemu-system-FOO wants QAPIEvent, and passes a function taking that to qmp_event_set_func_emit(). test-qmp-event wants test_QAPIEvent, and passes a function taking that to qmp_event_set_func_emit(). It works by type trickery, of course: typedef void (*QMPEventFuncEmit)(unsigned event, QDict *dict); void qmp_event_set_func_emit(QMPEventFuncEmit emit); QMPEventFuncEmit qmp_event_get_func_emit(void); We use unsigned instead of the enumeration type. Relies on both enumerations boiling down to unsigned, which happens to be true for the compilers we use. Clean this up as follows: * Generate qapi_event_send_FOO() that call PREFIX_qapi_event_emit() instead of the value of qmp_event_set_func_emit(). * Generate a prototype for PREFIX_qapi_event_emit() into qapi-events.h. * PREFIX_ is empty for qapi/qapi-schema.json, and test_ for tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json. It's qga_ for qga/qapi-schema.json, and doc-good- for tests/qapi-schema/doc-good.json, but those don't define any events. * Rename monitor_qapi_event_queue() to qapi_event_emit() instead of passing it to qmp_event_set_func_emit(). This takes care of qemu-system-FOO. * Rename event_test_emit() to test_qapi_event_emit() instead of passing it to qmp_event_set_func_emit(). This takes care of tests/test-qmp-event. * Add a qapi_event_emit() that does nothing to stubs/monitor.c. This takes care of all other programs that link code emitting QMP events. * Drop qmp_event_set_func_emit(), qmp_event_get_func_emit().

Then it checks backend's max-sge and adjust it accordingly (we can't send more than what the device supports). On send and recv we need to make sure the num_sge in the WQE does not exceeds the backend device capability. This check is done in pvrdma level so check on rdma level is deleted.

2019-01-17acpi: build TPM Physical Presence interfaceStefan Berger
The TPM Physical Presence interface consists of an ACPI part, a shared memory part, and code in the firmware. Users can send messages to the firmware by writing a code into the shared memory through invoking the ACPI code. When a reboot happens, the firmware looks for the code and acts on it by sending sequences of commands to the TPM. This patch adds the ACPI code. It is similar to the one in EDK2 but doesn't assume that SMIs are necessary to use. It uses a similar datastructure for the shared memory as EDK2 does so that EDK2 and SeaBIOS could both make use of it. I extended the shared memory data structure with an array of 256 bytes, one for each code that could be implemented. The array contains flags describing the individual codes. This decouples the ACPI implementation from the firmware implementation. The underlying TCG specification is accessible from the following page. https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/tcg-physical-presence-interface-specification/ This patch implements version 1.30.
