2014-06-23migration: dump vmstate info as a json file for static analysisAmit Shah
This commit adds a new command, '-dump-vmstate', that takes a filename as an argument. When executed, QEMU will dump the vmstate information for the machine type it's invoked with to the file, and quit. The JSON-format output can then be used to compare the vmstate info for different QEMU versions, specifically to test whether live migration would break due to changes in the vmstate data. A Python script that compares the output of such JSON dumps is included in the following commit.

2014-06-19Add the vhost-user netdev backend to the command lineNikolay Nikolaev
The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet) will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised. Additional checks for validity: - requires `-numa node,memdev=..` - requires `-device virtio-net-*` The `vhostforce` option is used to force vhost-net when we deal with non-MSIX guests.

this patch tries to optimize zero write requests by automatically using bdrv_write_zeroes if it is supported by the format.

2013-12-09net: Adding netmap network backendVincenzo Maffione
This patch adds support for a network backend based on netmap. netmap is a framework for high speed packet I/O. You can use it to build extremely fast traffic generators, monitors, software switches or network middleboxes. Its companion software switch VALE lets you interconnect virtual machines. netmap and VALE are implemented as a non-intrusive kernel module, support NICs from multiple vendors, are part of standard FreeBSD distributions and available in source format for Linux too. To compile QEMU with netmap support, use the following configure options: ./configure [...] --enable-netmap --extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys where "/path/to/netmap" contains the netmap source code, available at http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/ The same webpage contains more information about the netmap project (together with papers and presentations).

2013-07-29Revert "chardev: Make the name of memory device consistent"Markus Armbruster
This reverts commit 6a85e60cb994bd95d1537aafbff65816f3de4637. Commit 51767e7 "qemu-char: Add new char backend CirMemCharDriver" introduced a memory ring buffer character device driver named "memory". Commit 3949e59 "qemu-char: Saner naming of memchar stuff & doc fixes" changed the driver name to "ringbuf", along with a whole bunch of other names, with the following rationale: Naming is a mess. The code calls the device driver CirMemCharDriver, the public API calls it "memory", "memchardev", or "memchar", and the special commands are named like "memchar-FOO". "memory" is a particularly unfortunate choice, because there's another character device driver called MemoryDriver. Moreover, the device's distinctive property is that it's a ring buffer, not that's in memory. This is what we released in 1.4.0. Unfortunately, the rename missed a critical instance of "memory": the actual driver name. Thus, the new device could be used only by an entirely undocumented name. The documented name did not work. Bummer. Commit 6a85e60 fixes this by changing the documentation to match the code. It also changes some, but not all related occurences of "ringbuf" to "memory". Left alone are identifiers in C code, HMP and QMP commands. The latter are external interface, so they can't be changed. The result is an inconsistent mess. Moreover, "memory" is a rotten name. The device's distinctive property is that it's a ring buffer, not that's in memory. User's don't care whether it's in RAM, flash, or carved into chocolate tablets by Oompa Loompas. Revert the commit. Next commit will fix just the bug.

[Issue] When we offer a customer support service and a problem happens in a customer's system, we try to understand the problem by comparing what the customer reports with message logs of the customer's system. In this case, we often need to know when the problem happens. But, currently, there is no timestamp in qemu's error messages.

2013-07-09trap signals for "-serial mon:stdio"Paolo Bonzini
With mon:stdio you can exit the VM by switching to the monitor and sending the "quit" command. It is then useful to pass Ctrl-C to the VM instead of exiting.

2013-05-03TLS support for VNC WebsocketsTim Hardeck
Added TLS support to the VNC QEMU Websockets implementation. VNC-TLS needs to be enabled for this feature to be used. The required certificates are specified as in case of VNC-TLS with the VNC parameter "x509=<path>". If the server certificate isn't signed by a rooth authority it needs to be manually imported in the browser because at least in case of Firefox and Chrome there is no user dialog, the connection just gets canceled. As a side note VEncrypt over Websocket doesn't work atm because TLS can't be stacked in the current implementation. (It also didn't work before) Nevertheless to my knowledge there is no HTML 5 VNC client which supports it and the Websocket connection can be encrypted with regular TLS now so it should be fine for most use cases.

qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=ssh://hostname/some/image QEMU will ssh into 'hostname' and open '/some/image' which is made available as a standard block device. You can specify a username (ssh://user@host/...) and/or a port number (ssh://host:port/...). You can also use an alternate syntax using properties (file.user, file.host, file.port, file.path). Current limitations: - Authentication must be done without passwords or passphrases, using ssh-agent. Other authentication methods are not supported. - Uses a single connection, instead of concurrent AIO with multiple SSH connections. This is implemented using libssh2 on the client side. The server just requires a regular ssh daemon with sftp-server support. Most ssh daemons on Unix/Linux systems will work out of the box. Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.

2013-03-19add a boot option to do strict bootAmos Kong
Seabios already added a new device type to halt booting. Qemu can add "HALT" at the end of bootindex string, then seabios will halt booting after trying to boot from all selected devices. This patch added a new boot option to configure if boot from un-selected devices. This option only effects when boot priority is changed by bootindex options, the old style(-boot order=..) will still try to boot from un-selected devices. v2: add HALT entry in get_boot_devices_list() v3: rebase to latest qemu upstream Signed-off-by: Amos Kong <akong@redhat.com> Message-id: 1363674207-31496-1-git-send-email-akong@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2013-03-12Add support for cancelling of a TPM commandStefan Berger
This patch adds support for cancelling an executing TPM command. In Linux for example a user can cancel a command through the TPM's sysfs 'cancel' entry using echo "1" > /sysfs/class/misc/tpm0/device/cancel This patch propagates the cancellation of a command inside a VM to the host TPM's sysfs entry. It also uses the possibility to cancel the command before QEMU VM shutdown or reboot, which helps in preventing QEMU from hanging while waiting for the completion of the command. To relieve higher layers or users from having to determine the TPM's cancel sysfs entry, the driver searches for the entry in well known locations.

2013-03-12Add a TPM Passthrough backend driver implementationStefan Berger
This patch is based of off version 9 of Stefan Berger's patch series "QEMU Trusted Platform Module (TPM) integration" and adds a new backend driver for it. This patch adds a passthrough backend driver for passing commands sent to the emulated TPM device directly to a TPM device opened on the host machine. Thus it is possible to use a hardware TPM device in a system running on QEMU, providing the ability to access a TPM in a special state (e.g. after a Trusted Boot). This functionality is being used in the acTvSM Trusted Virtualization Platform which is available on [1]. Usage example: qemu-system-x86_64 -tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0,path=/dev/tpm0 \ -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 \ -cdrom test.iso -boot d Some notes about the host TPM: The TPM needs to be enabled and activated. If that's not the case one has to go through the BIOS/UEFI and enable and activate that TPM for TPM commands to work as expected. It may be necessary to boot the kernel using tpm_tis.force=1 in the boot command line or 'modprobe tpm_tis force=1' in case of using it as a module.
