2015-03-01pci-hotplug-old: Has been dead for five major releases, buryMarkus Armbruster
Commit 79ca616 (v1.6.0) accidentally disabled legacy x86-only HMP commands pci_add, pci_del: it defined CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG only as make variable, not as preprocessor macro, killing the code conditional on defined(CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG_OLD). In all this time, nobody reported the loss. I only noticed it when I tried to test some error reporting change that forced me to touch this old crap again. Fun: git-log hw/pci/pci-hotplug-old.c shows our faith in the backward compatibility god has been strong enough to sacrifice at its altar about a dozen times, but not strong enough to even once verify the legacy feature's still there, let alone works. Remove the commands along with the code backing them. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

2015-02-18hmp: Name HMP command handler functions hmp_COMMAND()Markus Armbruster
Some are called do_COMMAND() (old ones, usually), some hmp_COMMAND(), and sometimes COMMAND pointlessly differs in spelling. Normalize to hmp_COMMAND(), where COMMAND is exactly the command name with '-' replaced by '_'. Exceptions: * do_device_add() and client_migrate_info() *not* renamed to hmp_device_add(), hmp_client_migrate_info(), because they're also QMP handlers. They still need to be converted to QAPI. * do_memory_dump(), do_physical_memory_dump(), do_ioport_read(), do_ioport_write() renamed do hmp_* instead of hmp_x(), hmp_xp(), hmp_i(), hmp_o(), because those names are too cryptic for my taste. * do_info_help() renamed to hmp_info_help() instead of hmp_info(), because it only covers help.

2014-10-24hmp: Remove "info pcmcia"Markus Armbruster
This command lists PCMCIA sockets and cards. Only a few ARM boards have sockets (akita, borzoi, connex, mainstone, spitz, terrier, tosa, verdex, z2), the only card is the DSCM-1xxxx Hitachi Microdrive (qdev "microdrive"), and it is only inserted during machine init, if ever. So this command doesn't really tell anybody anything new so far. Moreover, pcmcia_socket_unregister() has a use-after-free bug, flagged by Coverity. Has never been used, because there has never been code to eject a PCMCIA card. Not worth fixing & converting to QMP. Remove it.

2014-08-25cpus: Define callback for QEMU "nmi" commandAlexey Kardashevskiy
This introduces an NMI (Non Maskable Interrupt) interface with a single nmi_monitor_handler() method. A machine or a device can implement it. This searches for an QOM object with this interface and if it is implemented, calls it. The callback implements an action required to cause debug crash dump on in-kernel debugger invocation. The callback returns Error**. This adds a nmi_monitor_handle() helper which walks through all objects to find the interface. The interface method is called for all found instances. This adds support for it in qmp_inject_nmi(). Since no architecture supports it at the moment, there is no change in behaviour. This changes inject-nmi command description for HMP and QMP.

2014-06-19Add the vhost-user netdev backend to the command lineNikolay Nikolaev
The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet) will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised. Additional checks for validity: - requires `-numa node,memdev=..` - requires `-device virtio-net-*` The `vhostforce` option is used to force vhost-net when we deal with non-MSIX guests.

2013-12-09net: Adding netmap network backendVincenzo Maffione
This patch adds support for a network backend based on netmap. netmap is a framework for high speed packet I/O. You can use it to build extremely fast traffic generators, monitors, software switches or network middleboxes. Its companion software switch VALE lets you interconnect virtual machines. netmap and VALE are implemented as a non-intrusive kernel module, support NICs from multiple vendors, are part of standard FreeBSD distributions and available in source format for Linux too. To compile QEMU with netmap support, use the following configure options: ./configure [...] --enable-netmap --extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys where "/path/to/netmap" contains the netmap source code, available at http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ The same webpage contains more information about the netmap project (together with papers and presentations).

2013-08-30s390: wire up nmi command to raise a RESTART interrupt on S390Eugene (jno) Dvurechenski
There is the 'nmi' command that is used to trigger a guest dump via kdump feature on x86. s390 uses RESTART interrupt to trigger kdump. So, this patch provides a mean to use 'nmi' command on s390 to raise RESTART interrupt. The CPU to receive the RESTART interrupt is the "default" one. There is an infrastructure to select the "default" CPU using 'cpu' command. The 'info cpus' command can be used to see which one is the "default". In order to wire up the RESTART to 'nmi' command we had to: 1. implement the kvm_s390_cpu_restart function by exporting the existing code 2. implement s390_cpu_restart function as kvm-aware wrapper 3. modify the qmp_inject_nmi function to enable (for s390) the scan for "default" CPU and call s390_cpu_restart for it; 3. fix some messages.

2013-07-04pci: Cleanup configuration for pci-hotplug.cDavid Gibson
pci-hotplug.c and the CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG variable which controls its compilation are misnamed. They're not about PCI hotplug in general, but rather about the pci_add/pci_del interface which are now deprecated in favour of the more general device_add/device_del interface. This patch therefore renames them to pci-hotplug-old.c and CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG_OLD. CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG=y was listed twice in {i386,x86_64}-softmmu.make for no particular reason, so we clean that up too. In addition it was included in ppc64-softmmu.mak for which the old hotplug interface was never used and is unsuitable, so we remove that too. Most of pci-hotplug.c was additionaly protected by #ifdef TARGET_I386. The small piece which wasn't is only called from the pci_add and pci_del hooks in hmp-commands.hx, which themselves were protected by #ifdef TARGET_I386. This patch therefore also removes the #ifdef from pci-hotplug-old.c, and changes the ifdefs in hmp-commands.hx to use CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG_OLD.

Hot unplug the device: (qemu) drive_del foo 3. Select the first boot menu entry Without this patch the guest pauses due to ENOMEDIUM. The guest is stuck in a continuous pause loop since the I/O request is retried and fails immediately again when the guest is resumed. With this patch the error is reported to the guest. Note that this scenario actually happens sometimes during libvirt disk hot unplug, where device_del is followed by drive_del. I/O may still be submitted to the drive after drive_del if the guest does not process the PCI hot unplug notification.

2013-03-12Support for TPM command line optionsStefan Berger
This patch adds support for TPM command line options. The command line options supported here are ./qemu-... -tpmdev passthrough,path=<path to TPM device>,id=<id> -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=<id>,id=<other id> and ./qemu-... -tpmdev help where the latter works similar to -soundhw help and shows a list of available TPM backends (for example 'passthrough'). Using the type parameter, the backend is chosen, i.e., 'passthrough' for the passthrough driver. The interpretation of the other parameters along with determining whether enough parameters were provided is pushed into the backend driver, which needs to implement the interface function 'create' and return a TPMDriverOpts structure if the VM can be started or 'NULL' if not enough or bad parameters were provided. Monitor support for 'info tpm' has been added. It for example prints the following: (qemu) info tpm TPM devices: tpm0: model=tpm-tis \ tpm0: type=passthrough,path=/dev/tpm0,cancel-path=/sys/devices/pnp0/00:09/cancel Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Corey Bryant <coreyb@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Joel Schopp <jschopp@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Message-id: 1361987275-26289-2-git-send-email-stefanb@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2013-02-26qemu-log: default to stderr for logging outputPeter Maydell
Switch the default for qemu_log logging output from "/tmp/qemu.log" to stderr. This is an incompatible change in some sense, but logging is mostly used for debugging purposes so it shouldn't affect production use. The previous behaviour can be obtained by adding "-D /tmp/qemu.log" to the command line. This change requires us to: * update all the documentation/help text (we take the opportunity to smooth out minor inconsistencies between the phrasing in linux-user/bsd-user/system help messages) * make linux-user and bsd-user defer to qemu-log for the default logging destination rather than overriding it themselves * ensure that all logfile closing is done via qemu_log_close() and that that function doesn't close stderr as well as the obvious change to the behaviour of do_qemu_set_log() when no logfile name has been specified.

2013-02-06qemu-char: Saner naming of memchar stuff & doc fixesMarkus Armbruster
New device, has never been released, so we can still improve things without worrying about compatibility. Naming is a mess. The code calls the device driver CirMemCharDriver, the public API calls it "memory", "memchardev", or "memchar", and the special commands are named like "memchar-FOO". "memory" is a particularly unfortunate choice, because there's another character device driver called MemoryDriver. Moreover, the device's distinctive property is that it's a ring buffer, not that's in memory. Therefore: * Rename CirMemCharDriver to RingBufCharDriver, and call the thing a "ringbuf" in the API. * Rename QMP and HMP commands from memchar-FOO to ringbuf-FOO. * Rename device parameter from maxcapacity to size (simple words are good for you). * Clearly mark the parameter as optional in documentation. * Fix error reporting so that chardev-add reports to current monitor, not stderr. * Replace cirmem in C identifiers by ringbuf. * Rework documentation. Document the impact of our crappy UTF-8 handling on reading. * QMP examples that even work. I could split this up into multiple commits, but they'd change the same documentation lines multiple times.
