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.

2019-07-02xics/spapr: Detect old KVM XICS on POWER9 hostsGreg Kurz
Older KVMs on POWER9 don't support destroying/recreating a KVM XICS device, which is required by 'dual' interrupt controller mode. This causes QEMU to emit a warning when the guest is rebooted and to fall back on XICS emulation: qemu-system-ppc64: warning: kernel_irqchip allowed but unavailable: Error on KVM_CREATE_DEVICE for XICS: File exists If kernel irqchip is required, QEMU will thus exit when the guest is first rebooted. Failing QEMU this late may be a painful experience for the user. Detect that and exit at machine init instead.

2019-06-12qapi: Add feature flags to struct typesKevin Wolf
Sometimes, the behaviour of QEMU changes without a change in the QMP syntax (usually by allowing values or operations that previously resulted in an error). QMP clients may still need to know whether they can rely on the changed behavior. Let's add feature flags to the QAPI schema language, so that we can make such changes visible with schema introspection. An example for a schema definition using feature flags looks like this: { 'struct': 'TestType', 'data': { 'number': 'int' }, 'features': [ 'allow-negative-numbers' ] } Introspection information then looks like this: { "name": "TestType", "meta-type": "object", "members": [ { "name": "number", "type": "int" } ], "features": [ "allow-negative-numbers" ] } This patch implements feature flags only for struct types. We'll implement them more widely as needed.

2019-05-29vhost-user: add vhost_user_gpu_set_socket()Marc-André Lureau
Add a new vhost-user message to give a unix socket to a vhost-user backend for GPU display updates. Back when I started that work, I added a new GPU channel because the vhost-user protocol wasn't bidirectional. Since then, there is a vhost-user-slave channel for the slave to send requests to the master. We could extend it with GPU messages. However, the GPU protocol is quite orthogonal to vhost-user, thus I chose to have a new dedicated channel. See vhost-user-gpu.rst for the protocol details.

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.

2019-05-02tests/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.

When a file supporting DAX is used as vNVDIMM backend, mmap it with MAP_SYNC flag in addition which can ensure file system metadata synced in each guest writes to the backend file, without other QEMU actions (e.g., periodic fsync() by QEMU). Current, We have below different possible use cases: 1. pmem=on is set, shared=on is set, MAP_SYNC supported: a: backend is a dax supporting file. - MAP_SYNC will active. b: backend is not a dax supporting file. - mmap will trigger a warning. then MAP_SYNC flag will be ignored 2.

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.
