2010-10-05Add new user mode option -ignore-environmentStefan Weil
An empty environment is sometimes useful in user mode. The new option provides it for linux-user and bsd-user (darwin-user still has no environment related options). The patch also adds the documentation for other environment related options. Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <weil@mail.berlios.de>
2010-08-30nbd: Introduce NBD named exports.Laurent Vivier
This patch allows to connect Qemu using NBD protocol to an nbd-server using named exports. For instance, if on the host "isoserver", in /etc/nbd-server/config, you have: [generic] [debian-500-ppc-netinst] exportname = /ISO/debian-500-powerpc-netinst.iso [Fedora-10-ppc-netinst] exportname = /ISO/Fedora-10-ppc-netinst.iso You can connect to it, using: qemu -cdrom nbd:isoserver:exportname=debian-500-ppc-netinst qemu -cdrom nbd:isoserver:exportname=Fedora-10-ppc-netinst NOTE: you need at least nbd-server 2.9.18 Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <laurent@vivier.eu> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

2010-02-10Documentation: Use UTF-8 encoding and fix one wrong encodingStefan Weil
At least for Linux distributions UTF-8 is now standard, so the QEMU documentation should use this encoding, too. Even if there was currently only a single special character using ISO-8859-1, this might change in the future. So the texinfo keywords @documentlanguage and @documentencoding now document the language and the encoding. The special character was changed to UTF-8 (it could also have been changed to an x, but the original cross looks really nice if it is displayed correctly). These changes fix the html presentation at http://www.qemu.org/qemu-doc.html#SEC65 (ARM System emulator).

2009-03-06Support ACLs for controlling VNC access ("Daniel P. Berrange")aliguori
This patch introduces a generic internal API for access control lists to be used by network servers in QEMU. It adds support for checking these ACL in the VNC server, in two places. The first ACL is for the SASL authentication mechanism, checking the SASL username. This ACL is called 'vnc.username'. The second is for the TLS authentication mechanism, when x509 client certificates are turned on, checking against the Distinguished Name of the client. This ACL is called 'vnc.x509dname' The internal API provides for an ACL with the following characteristics - A unique name, eg vnc.username, and vnc.x509dname. - A default policy, allow or deny - An ordered series of match rules, with allow or deny policy If none of the match rules apply, then the default policy is used. There is a monitor API to manipulate the ACLs, which I'll describe via examples (qemu) acl show vnc.username policy: allow (qemu) acl policy vnc.username denya acl: policy set to 'deny' (qemu) acl allow vnc.username fred acl: added rule at position 1 (qemu) acl allow vnc.username bob acl: added rule at position 2 (qemu) acl allow vnc.username joe 1 acl: added rule at position 1 (qemu) acl show vnc.username policy: deny 0: allow fred 1: allow joe 2: allow bob (qemu) acl show vnc.x509dname policy: allow (qemu) acl policy vnc.x509dname deny acl: policy set to 'deny' (qemu) acl allow vnc.x509dname C=GB,O=ACME,L=London,CN=* acl: added rule at position 1 (qemu) acl allow vnc.x509dname C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob acl: added rule at position 2 (qemu) acl show vnc.x509dname policy: deny 0: allow C=GB,O=ACME,L=London,CN=* 1: allow C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob By default the VNC server will not use any ACLs, allowing access to the server if the user successfully authenticates. To enable use of ACLs to restrict user access, the ',acl' flag should be given when starting QEMU. The initial ACL activated will be a 'deny all' policy and should be customized using monitor commands. eg enable SASL auth and ACLs qemu .... -vnc localhost:1,sasl,acl The next patch will provide a way to load a pre-defined ACL when starting up Makefile | 6 + b/acl.c | 185 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ b/acl.h | 74 ++++++++++++++++++++++ configure | 18 +++++ monitor.c | 95 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ qemu-doc.texi | 49 ++++++++++++++ vnc-auth-sasl.c | 16 +++- vnc-auth-sasl.h | 7 ++ vnc-tls.c | 19 +++++ vnc-tls.h | 3 vnc.c | 21 ++++++ vnc.h | 3 12 files changed, 491 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2009-03-06Add SASL authentication support ("Daniel P. Berrange")aliguori
This patch adds the new SASL authentication protocol to the VNC server. It is enabled by setting the 'sasl' flag when launching VNC. SASL can optionally provide encryption via its SSF layer, if a suitable mechanism is configured (eg, GSSAPI/Kerberos, or Digest-MD5). If an SSF layer is not available, then it should be combined with the x509 VNC authentication protocol which provides encryption. eg, if using GSSAPI qemu -vnc localhost:1,sasl eg if using TLS/x509 for encryption qemu -vnc localhost:1,sasl,tls,x509 By default the Cyrus SASL library will look for its configuration in the file /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. For non-root users, this can be overridden by setting the SASL_CONF_PATH environment variable, eg to make it look in $HOME/.sasl2. NB unprivileged users may not have access to the full range of SASL mechanisms, since some of them require some administrative privileges to configure. The patch includes an example SASL configuration file which illustrates config for GSSAPI and Digest-MD5, though it should be noted that the latter is not really considered secure any more. Most of the SASL authentication code is located in a separate source file, vnc-auth-sasl.c. The main vnc.c file only contains minimal integration glue, specifically parsing of command line flags / setup, and calls to start the SASL auth process, to do encoding/decoding for data. There are several possible stacks for reading & writing of data, depending on the combo of VNC authentication methods in use - Clear. read/write straight to socket - TLS. read/write via GNUTLS helpers - SASL. encode/decode via SASL SSF layer, then read/write to socket - SASL+TLS. encode/decode via SASL SSF layer, then read/write via GNUTLS Hence, the vnc_client_read & vnc_client_write methods have been refactored a little. vnc_client_read: main entry point for reading, calls either - vnc_client_read_plain reading, with no intermediate decoding - vnc_client_read_sasl reading, with SASL SSF decoding These two methods, then call vnc_client_read_buf(). This decides whether to write to the socket directly or write via GNUTLS. The situation is the same for writing data. More extensive comments have been added in the code / patch. The vnc_client_read_sasl and vnc_client_write_sasl method implementations live in the separate vnc-auth-sasl.c file. The state required for the SASL auth mechanism is kept in a separate VncStateSASL struct, defined in vnc-auth-sasl.h and included in the main VncState. The configure script probes for SASL and automatically enables it if found, unless --disable-vnc-sasl was given to override it.

2009-01-15Add -rtc-td-hack option to fix time drift with RTC on Windows (Gleb Natapov)aliguori
After my last patch to fix interrupt coalescing was rejected on the basis that it is too intrusive we decided to make the fix much more localized and only fix the problem for RTC time source. Unfortunately it is impossible to fix the problem entirely inside RTC code like Andrzej proposed since Windows reads RTC register C more then once on each time interrupt so it is impossible to count reliably how many interrupt windows actually handled. Proposed solution is localized to I386 target and is disabled by default. To enable it "-rtc-td-hack" flag should be used.

2008-12-04Use writeback caching by default with qcow2aliguori
qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update. This causes performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback. This is most noticeable when using savevm. Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in the correct order. Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use writeback caching by default with qcow2 files. It at least avoids the massive performance regression for users until we sort out the issues in qcow2.
