2010-09-09trace: Add trace file name command-line optionPrerna Saxena
This patch adds an optional command line switch '-trace' to specify the filename to write traces to, when qemu starts. Eg, If compiled with the 'simple' trace backend, [temp@system]$ qemu -trace FILENAME IMAGE Allows the binary traces to be written to FILENAME instead of the option set at config-time.

2010-06-22virtio-9p: Introduces an option to specify the security model.Venkateswararao Jujjuri (JV)
The new option is: -fsdev fstype,id=myid,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough] -virtfs fstype,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough],mnt_tag=tag In the case of mapped security model, files are created with QEMU user credentials and the client-user's credentials are saved in extended attributes. Whereas in the case of passthrough security model, files on the filesystem are directly created with client-user's credentials.

2010-05-26Add cache=unsafe parameter to -driveAlexander Graf
Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache. So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe", as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore. This patch also adds a noop function for aio, so we can do nothing in AIO fashion.

2010-04-23qemu-config: Make qemu_config_parse more genericKevin Wolf

2010-03-16qemu-option: Move the implied first name into QemuOptsListMarkus Armbruster
We sometimes permit omitting the first option name, for example -device foo is short for -device driver=foo. The name to use ("driver" in the example) is passed as argument to qemu_opts_parse(). For each QemuOptsList, we use at most one such name. Move the name into QemuOptsList, and pass whether to permit the abbreviation. This ensures continued consistency, and simplifies the commit after next in this series.

2010-03-16error: Replace qemu_error() by error_report()Markus Armbruster
error_report() terminates the message with a newline. Strip it it from its arguments. This fixes a few error messages lacking a newline: net_handle_fd_param()'s "No file descriptor named %s found", and tap_open()'s "vnet_hdr=1 requested, but no kernel support for IFF_VNET_HDR available" (all three versions). There's one place that passes arguments without newlines intentionally: load_vmstate(). Fix it up.

2010-02-22Add cpu model configuration support..john cooper
This is a reimplementation of prior versions which adds the ability to define cpu models for contemporary processors. The added models are likewise selected via -cpu <name>, and are intended to displace the existing convention of "-cpu qemu64" augmented with a series of feature flags. A primary motivation was determination of a least common denominator within a given processor class to simplify guest migration. It is still possible to modify an arbitrary model via additional feature flags however the goal here was to make doing so unnecessary in typical usage. The other consideration was providing models names reflective of current processors. Both AMD and Intel have reviewed the models in terms of balancing generality of migration vs. excessive feature downgrade relative to released silicon. This version of the patch replaces the prior hard wired definitions with a configuration file approach for new models. Existing models are thus far left as-is but may easily be transitioned to (or may be overridden by) the configuration file representation. Proposed new model definitions are provided here for current AMD and Intel processors. Each model consists of a name used to select it on the command line (-cpu <name>), and a model_id which corresponds to a least common denominator commercial instance of the processor class. A table of names/model_ids may be queried via "-cpu ?model": : x86 Opteron_G3 AMD Opteron 23xx (Gen 3 Class Opteron) x86 Opteron_G2 AMD Opteron 22xx (Gen 2 Class Opteron) x86 Opteron_G1 AMD Opteron 240 (Gen 1 Class Opteron) x86 Nehalem Intel Core i7 9xx (Nehalem Class Core i7) x86 Penryn Intel Core 2 Duo P9xxx (Penryn Class Core 2) x86 Conroe Intel Celeron_4x0 (Conroe/Merom Class Core 2) : Also added is "-cpu ?dump" which exhaustively outputs all config data for all defined models, and "-cpu ?cpuid" which enumerates all qemu recognized CPUID feature flags. The pseudo cpuid flag 'check' when added to the feature flag list will warn when feature flags (either implicit in a cpu model or explicit on the command line) would have otherwise been quietly unavailable to a guest: # qemu-system-x86_64 ... -cpu Nehalem,check warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'sse4.2|sse4_2' [0x00100000] warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'popcnt' [0x00800000] A similar 'enforce' pseudo flag exists which in addition to the above causes qemu to error exit if requested flags are unavailable. Configuration data for a cpu model resides in the target config file which by default will be installed as: /usr/local/etc/qemu/target-<arch>.conf The format of this file should be self explanatory given the definitions for the above six models and essentially mimics the structure of the static x86_def_t x86_defs. Encoding of cpuid flags names now allows aliases for both the configuration file and the command line which reconciles some Intel/AMD/Linux/Qemu naming differences.

2009-12-12qdev: add command line option to set global defaults for properties.Gerd Hoffmann
This patch adds infrastructure and command line option for setting global defaults for device properties, i.e. you can for example use -global virtio-blk-pci.vectors=0 to turn off msi by default for all virtio block devices. The config file syntax is: [global] driver = "virtio-blk-pci" property = "vectors" value = "0" This can also be used to set properties for devices which are not created via -device but implicitly via machine init, i.e. -global isa-fdc,driveA=<name> This patch uses the mechanism which configures properties for the compatibility machine types (pc-0.10 & friends). The command line takes precedence over the machine type values. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2009-11-09Added readonly flag to -drive commandNaphtali Sprei
This is a slightly revised patch for adding readonly flag to the -drive command. Even though this patch is "stand-alone", it assumes a previous related patch (in Anthony staging tree), that passes the readonly attribute of the drive to the guest OS, applied first. This enables sharing same image between guests, with readonly access. Implementaion mark the drive as read_only and changes the flags when actually opening the file. The readonly attribute of a qcow also passed to it's base file. For ide that cannot pass the readonly attribute to the guest OS, disallow the readonly flag. Also, return error code from bdrv_truncate for readonly drive. Signed-off-by: Naphtali Sprei <nsprei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2009-10-05Enable host-clock-based RTCJan Kiszka
Switch RTC emulations to the new host_clock instead of vm_clock by default. This has the advantage that the emulated RTC will follow automatically the host time while it might be tuned via NTP. vm_clock can still be selected by passing '-rtc clock=vm' on the command line. Note that some RTC emulations (at least M48T59) already use the host time unconditionally while others (namely MC146818) do not. This patch introduces the required infrastructure for selecting the base clock but only converts MC146818 for now.

2009-09-12Fix sys-queue.h conflict for goodBlue Swirl
Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been introduced in the commits 15cc9235840a22c289edbe064a9b3c19c5f49896, f40d753718c72693c5f520f0d9899f6e50395e94, 96555a96d724016e13190b28cffa3bc929ac60dc and 3990d09adf4463eca200ad964cc55643c33feb50 but the fixes were fragile.

start switching chardevs to QemuOpts. This patch adds the infrastructure and converts the null device. The patch brings two new functions: qemu_chr_open_opts() same as qemu_chr_open(), but uses QemuOpts instead of a option char string. qemu_chr_parse_compat() accepts a traditional chardev option string, returns the corresponding QemuOpts instance, to handle backward compatibility. The patch also adds a new -chardev switch which can be used to create named+unconnected chardevs, like this: -chardev null,id=test This uses the new qemu_chr_open_opts.

2009-08-27raw-posix: add Linux native AIO supportChristoph Hellwig
Now that do have a nicer interface to work against we can add Linux native AIO support. It's an extremly thing layer just setting up an iocb for the io_submit system call in the submission path, and registering an eventfd with the qemu poll handler to do complete the iocbs directly from there. This started out based on Anthony's earlier AIO patch, but after estimated 42,000 rewrites and just as many build system changes there's not much left of it. To enable native kernel aio use the aio=native sub-command on the drive command line. I have also added an option to qemu-io to test the aio support without needing a guest.
