2011-12-05block: add -drive copy-on-read=on|offStefan Hajnoczi
This patch adds the -drive copy-on-read=on|off command-line option: copy-on-read=on|off copy-on-read is "on" or "off" and enables whether to copy read backing file sectors into the image file. Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.

2011-09-01trace: add "-trace events" argument to control initial stateLluís
The "-trace events" argument can be used to provide a file with a list of trace event names that will be enabled prior to starting execution, thus providing early tracing. This saves the user from manually toggling event states through the monitor interface or whichever backend-specific interface. Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilanova@ac.upc.edu>

2011-08-23block: add cache=directsync parameter to -driveStefan Hajnoczi
This patch adds -drive cache=directsync for O_DIRECT | O_SYNC host file I/O with no disk write cache presented to the guest. This mode is useful when guests may not be sending flushes when appropriate and therefore leave data at risk in case of power failure. When cache=directsync is used, write operations are only completed to the guest when data is safely on disk. This new mode is like cache=writethrough but it bypasses the host page cache.

2011-07-29showing a splash picture when startwayne
Added options to let qemu transfer two configuration files to bios: "bootsplash.bmp" and "etc/boot-menu-wait", which could be specified by command -boot splash=P,splash-time=T P is jpg/bmp file name or an absolute path, T have a max value of 0xffff, unit is ms. With these two options, if user invoke qemu with menu=on option, then a splash picture would be showed in a given time. For example: qemu -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000 would make boot.bmp shown as a brand with 5 seconds in the booting up process. This feature need the new seabios's support, which could be got from git. Signed-off-by: Wayne Xia <xiawenc@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-23Generalize -machine command line optionJan Kiszka
-machine somehow suggests that it selects the machine, but it doesn't. Fix that before this command is set in stone. Actually, -machine should supersede -M and allow to introduce arbitrary per-machine options to the command line. That will change the internal realization again, but we will be able to keep the user interface stable.

2011-06-06spice: add SASL supportMarc-André Lureau
Turn on SASL support by appending "sasl" to the spice arguments, which requires that the client use SASL to authenticate with the spice. The exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used to make it search alternate locations for the service config. While some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI), it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and 'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication credentials. It requires support from spice 0.8.1.

2011-05-08Introduce -machine command option.Anthony PERARD
This option gives the ability to switch one "accelerator" like kvm, xen or the default one tcg. We can specify more than one accelerator by separate them by a colon. QEMU will try each one and use the first whose works. So, ./qemu -machine accel=xen:kvm:tcg which would try Xen support first, then KVM and finally TCG if none of the other works. By default, QEMU will use TCG. But we can specify another default in the global configuration file.

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.

2010-03-16qemu-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.

New LOC_FILE. Use it for tracking file name and line number in qemu_config_parse(). We now report errors like qemu:foo.conf:42: Did not find I2C bus for smbus-eeprom In particular, gems like this message: -device: no driver specified become almost nice now: qemu:foo.conf:44: -device: no driver specified (A later commit will get rid of the bogus -device:)
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>
