2009-05-20remove gcc 3.x requirement from documentationHollis Blanchard
This text is no longer accurate. After the patch is applied, the generated version at http://www.nongnu.org/qemu/qemu-doc.html should be regenerated. This patch is also a candidate for the stable branch. (The URL above is probably generated from the stable branch anyways, so maybe it goes without saying.)

2009-02-27chroot and change user support (Nolan)aliguori
Resent with fixed formatting. This patch adds two new command line options: -chroot <dir> -runas <user> This is useful for running qemu as an unprivileged user in a chroot jail. To avoid having to populate the jail, chrooting happens right before the start of guest execution.

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.

2008-10-14Expand cache= option and use write-through caching by defaultaliguori
This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough to control the host page cache behavior. By default, writethrough caching is now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk images. When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity it not at all an issue. cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously. The later syntax is still supported by now deprecated. I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.

2008-04-28add format= to drive options (CVE-2008-2004)aurel32
It is possible for a guest with a raw formatted disk image to write a header to that disk image describing another format (such as qcow2). Stopping and subsequent restart of the guest will cause qemu to detect that format, and could allow the guest to read any host file if qemu is sufficiently privileged (typical in virt environments). The patch defaults to existing behaviour (probing based on file contents), so it still requires the mgmt app (e.g. libvirt xml) to pass a new "format=raw" parameter for raw disk images.
