2019-09-19Replace '-machine accel=xyz' with '-accel xyz'Thomas Huth
We've got a separate option to configure the accelerator nowadays, which is shorter to type and the preferred way of specifying an accelerator. Use it in the source and examples to show that it is the favored option. (However, do not touch the places yet which also specify other machine options or multiple accelerators - these are currently still better handled with one single "-machine" statement instead) Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20190904052739.22123-1-thuth@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <laurent@vivier.eu>

Implicit RAM distribution between nodes has exactly the same issues as: "numa: deprecate 'mem' parameter of '-numa node' option" only with QEMU being the user that's 'adding' 'mem' parameter. Deprecate it, to get it out of the way so that we could consolidate guest RAM allocation using memory backends making it consistent and possibly later on transition to using memory devices instead of adhoc memory mapping for the initial RAM.

2019-07-05numa: deprecate 'mem' parameter of '-numa node' optionIgor Mammedov
The parameter allows to configure fake NUMA topology where guest VM simulates NUMA topology but not actually getting performance benefits from it. The same or better results could be achieved using 'memdev' parameter. Beside of unpredictable performance, '-numa node.mem' option has other issues when it's used with combination of -mem-path + + -mem-prealloc + memdev backends (pc-dimm), breaking binding of memdev backends since mem-path/mem-prealloc are global and affect the most of RAM allocations. It's possible to make memdevs and global -mem-path/mem-prealloc to play nicely together but that will just complicate already complicated code and add unobious ways it could break on 2 different memmory allocation pathes and their combinations. Instead of it, consolidate all guest RAM allocation over memdev which still allows to create fake NUMA configurations if desired and leaves one simplifyed code path to consider when it comes to guest RAM allocation. To achieve desired simplification deprecate 'mem' parameter as its ad-hoc partitioning of initial RAM MemoryRegion can't be translated to memdev based backend transparently to users and in compatible manner (migration wise). Later down the road that will allow to consolidate means of how guest RAM is allocated and would permit us to clean up quite a bit memory allocations and numa code, leaving only 'memdev' implementation in place.

2019-03-12block/dirty-bitmap: add recording and busy propertiesJohn Snow
The current API allows us to report a single status, which we've defined as: Frozen: has a successor, treated as qmp_locked, may or may not be enabled. Locked: no successor, qmp_locked. may or may not be enabled. Disabled: Not frozen or locked, disabled. Active: Not frozen, locked, or disabled. The problem is that both "Frozen" and "Locked" mean nearly the same thing, and that both of them do not intuit whether they are recording guest writes or not.

2019-03-11vnc: allow specifying a custom authorization object nameDaniel P. Berrange
The VNC server has historically had support for ACLs to check both the SASL username and the TLS x509 distinguished name. The VNC server was responsible for creating the initial ACL, and the client app was then responsible for populating it with rules using the HMP 'acl_add' command. This is not satisfactory for a variety of reasons. There is no way to populate the ACLs from the command line, users are forced to use the HMP. With multiple network services all supporting TLS and ACLs now, it is desirable to be able to define a single ACL that is referenced by all services. To address these limitations, two new options are added to the VNC server CLI. The 'tls-authz' option takes the ID of a QAuthZ object to use for checking TLS x509 distinguished names, and the 'sasl-authz' option takes the ID of another object to use for checking SASL usernames. In this example, we setup two authorization rules. The first allows any client with a certificate issued by the 'RedHat' organization in the 'London' locality. The second ACL allows clients with either the 'joe@REDHAT.COM' or 'fred@REDHAT.COM' kerberos usernames. Both checks must pass for the user to be allowed. $QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\ endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \ -object authz-simple,id=authz0,policy=deny,\ rules.0.match=O=RedHat,,L=London,rules.0.policy=allow \ -object authz-simple,id=authz1,policy=deny,\ rules.0.match=fred@REDHAT.COM,rules.0.policy=allow \ rules.0.match=joe@REDHAT.COM,rules.0.policy=allow \ -vnc 0.0.0.0:1,tls-creds=tls0,tls-authz=authz0, sasl,sasl-authz=authz1 \ ...other QEMU args...

2019-02-04qemu-nbd: Deprecate qemu-nbd --partitionEric Blake
The existing qemu-nbd --partition code claims to handle logical partitions up to 8, since its introduction in 2008 (commit 7a5ca86). However, the implementation is bogus (actual MBR logical partitions form a sort of linked list, with one partition per extended table entry, rather than four logical partitions in a single extended table), making the code unlikely to work for anything beyond -P5 on actual guest images. What's more, the code does not support GPT partitions, which are becoming more popular, and maintaining device subsetting in both NBD and the raw device is unnecessary duplication of effort (even if it is not too difficult). Note that obtaining the offsets of a partition (MBR or GPT) can be learned by using 'qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 file.qcow2 && sfdisk --dump /dev/nbd0', but by the time you've done that, you might as well just mount /dev/nbd0p1 that the kernel creates for you instead of bothering with qemu exporting a subset. Or, keeping to just user-space code, use nbdkit's partition filter, which has already known both GPT and primary MBR partitions for a while, and was just recently enhanced to support arbitrary logical MBR parititions. Start the clock on the deprecation cycle, with examples of how to accomplish device subsetting without using -P.

In early times, network backends were specified by a "vlan" and "name" tuple. With the introduction of netdevs, the "name" was replaced by an "id" (which is supposed to be unique), but the "name" parameter stayed as an alias which could be used instead of "id". Unfortunately, we miss the duplication check for "name": $ qemu-system-x86_64 -net user,name=n1 -net user,name=n1 ... starts without an error, while "id" correctly complains: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -net user,id=n1 -net user,id=n1 qemu-system-x86_64: -net user,id=n1: Duplicate ID 'n1' for net Instead of trying to fix the code for the legacy "name" parameter, let's rather get rid of this old interface and deprecate the "name" parameter now - this will also be less confusing for the users in the long run.
