2018-01-27ppc: Deprecate qemu-system-ppcembthuth@redhat.com
qemu-system-ppcemb has been once split of qemu-system-ppc to support CPU page sizes < 4096 for some of the embedded 4xx PowerPC CPUs. However, there was hardly any OS available in the wild that really used such small page sizes (Linux uses 4096 on PPC), so there is no known recent use case for this separate build anymore. It's rather cumbersome to maintain a separate set of config switches for this, and it's wasting compile and test time of all the developers who have to build all QEMU targets to verify that their changes did not break anything. Except for the small CPU page sizes, qemu-system-ppc can be used as a full replacement for qemu-system-ppcemb since it contains all the embedded 4xx PPC boards and CPUs, too. Thus let's start the deprecation process for qemu-system-ppcemb to see whether somebody still needs the small page sizes or whether we could finally remove this unloved separate build.

2018-01-25ui: deprecate use of SDL 1.2 in favour of 2.0 seriesDaniel P. Berrange
The SDL 2.0 release was made in Aug, 2013: https://www.libsdl.org/release/ That will soon be 4 + 1/2 years ago, which is enough time to consider the 2.0 series widely supported. Thus we deprecate the SDL 1.2 support, which will allow us to delete it in the last release of 2018. By this time, SDL 2.0 will be more than 5 years old. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2017-12-20qemu-options qemu-doc: Move "Device URL Syntax" to qemu-docMarkus Armbruster
Commit 0f5314a (v1.0) added section "Device URL Syntax" to qemu-options.hx. It's enclosed in STEXI..ETEXI, thus affects only qemu-options.texi, not --help. It appears as a subsection under section "Invocation". Similarly, qemu.1 has it as a subsection under "OPTIONS". Commit f9dadc9 (v1.1.0) dropped new option -iscsi into the middle of this section. No effect on qemu-options.texi. It appears in --help run together with the "Bluetooth(R) options:" header. Commit c70a01e (v1.5.0) gives it is own heading in --help by moving commit 0f5314a's DEFHEADING(Device URL Syntax:) outside STEXI..ETEXI. Trouble is the heading makes no sense for -iscsi. Move all of the "Device URL Syntax" Texinfo to qemu-doc.texi. Mark it for inclusion in qemu.1 with '@c man begin NOTES'. This turns it into a separate section outside the list of options both in qemu-doc and in qemu.1. There's substantial overlap with the existing qemu-doc section "Disk Images". Mark with a TODO comment. Output of --help will be fixed next.

2017-08-01docs: document deprecation policy & deprecated features in appendixDaniel P. Berrange
The deprecation of features in QEMU is totally adhoc currently, with no way for the user to get a list of what is deprecated in each release. This adds an appendix to the doc that records when each deprecation was made and provides text explaining what to use instead, if anything. Since there has been no formal policy around removal of deprecated features in the past, any deprecations prior to 2.10.0 are to be treated as if they had been made at the 2.10.0 release. Thus the earliest that existing deprecations will be deleted is the start of the 2.12.0 cycle. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2017-05-09Default to GSSAPI (Kerberos) instead of DIGEST-MD5 for SASLDaniel P. Berrange
RFC 6331 documents a number of serious security weaknesses in the SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism. As such, QEMU should not be using or recommending it as a default mechanism for VNC auth with SASL. GSSAPI (Kerberos) is the only other viable SASL mechanism that can provide secure session encryption so enable that by defalt as the replacement. If users have TLS enabled for VNC, they can optionally decide to use SCRAM-SHA-1 instead of GSSAPI, allowing plain username and password auth.

2017-01-18target-sparc: fix up niagara machineArtyom Tarasenko
Remove the Niagara stub implementation from sun4u.c and add a machine, compatible with Legion simulator from the OpenSPARC T1 project. The machine uses the firmware supplied with the OpenSPARC T1 project, http://download.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/opensparc/OpenSPARCT1_Arch.1.5.tar.bz2 in the directory S10image/, and is able to boot the supplied Solaris 10 image. Note that for compatibility with the naming conventions for SPARC machines the new machine name is lowercase niagara.

2016-10-07qemu-doc: merge qemu-tech and qemu-docPaolo Bonzini
Merge what is left of qemu-tech into the main manual as an appendix. Ultimately we should have a new internals manual built from docs/, and then the "Translator Internals" parts of qemu-tech could move to docs/ as well. The bits on limitation and features of CPU emulation should remain in qemu-doc. Reviewed-by: Emilio G. Cota <cota@braap.org> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

These are interesting for users too, since nowadays most qemu-user users are going to be somewhat technical rather than just people that want to run Wine. Some detail is lost, on the other hand some of the information I removed (e.g. basic block unchaining) was obsolete. Reviewed-by: Emilio G.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Require master to have ID zeroMarkus Armbruster
Migration with ivshmem needs to be carefully orchestrated to work. Exactly one peer (the "master") migrates to the destination, all other peers need to unplug (and disconnect), migrate, plug back (and reconnect). This is sort of documented in qemu-doc. If peers connect on the destination before migration completes, the shared memory can get messed up. This isn't documented anywhere. Fix that in qemu-doc. To avoid messing up register IVPosition on migration, the server must assign the same ID on source and destination. ivshmem-spec.txt leaves ID assignment unspecified, however. Amend ivshmem-spec.txt to require the first client to receive ID zero. The example ivshmem-server complies: it always assigns the first unused ID. For a bit of additional safety, enforce ID zero for the master. This does nothing when we're not using a server, because the ID is zero for all peers then.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Split ivshmem-plain, ivshmem-doorbell off ivshmemMarkus Armbruster
ivshmem can be configured with and without interrupt capability (a.k.a. "doorbell"). The two configurations have largely disjoint options, which makes for a confusing (and badly checked) user interface. Moreover, the device can't tell the guest whether its doorbell is enabled. Create two new device models ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, and deprecate the old one. Changes from ivshmem: * PCI revision is 1 instead of 0. The new revision is fully backwards compatible for guests. Guests may elect to require at least revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny "no shared memory, yet" state. * Property "role" replaced by "master". role=master becomes master=on, role=peer becomes master=off. Default is off instead of auto. * Property "use64" is gone. The new devices always have 64 bit BARs. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-plain: * The Interrupt Pin register in PCI config space is zero (does not use an interrupt pin) instead of one (uses INTA). * Property "x-memdev" is renamed to "memdev". * Properties "shm" and "size" are gone. Use property "memdev" instead. * Property "msi" is gone. The new device can't have MSI-X capability. It can't interrupt anyway. * Properties "ioeventfd" and "vectors" are gone. They're meaningless without interrupts anyway. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell: * Property "msi" is gone. The new device always has MSI-X capability. * Property "ioeventfd" defaults to on instead of off. * Property "size" is gone. The new device can only map all the shared memory received from the server. Guests can easily find out whether the device is configured for interrupts by checking for MSI-X capability. Note: some code added in sub-optimal places to make the diff easier to review. The next commit will move it to more sensible places.
