This patch adds the -drive copy-on-read=on|off command-line option: copy-on-read=on|off copy-on-read is "on" or "off" and enables whether to copy read backing file sectors into the image file. Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing file sectors repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a slow network. By default copy-on-read is off.

2011-08-23block: add cache=directsync parameter to -driveStefan Hajnoczi
This patch adds -drive cache=directsync for O_DIRECT | O_SYNC host file I/O with no disk write cache presented to the guest. This mode is useful when guests may not be sending flushes when appropriate and therefore leave data at risk in case of power failure. When cache=directsync is used, write operations are only completed to the guest when data is safely on disk. This new mode is like cache=writethrough but it bypasses the host page cache.

2011-07-30revamp acpitable parsing and allow to specify complete (headerful) tableMichael Tokarev
This patch almost rewrites acpi_table_add() function (but still leaves it using old get_param_value() interface). The result is that it's now possible to specify whole table (together with a header) in an external file, instead of just data portion, with a new file= parameter, but at the same time it's still possible to specify header fields as before.

2011-07-29showing a splash picture when startwayne
Added options to let qemu transfer two configuration files to bios: "bootsplash.bmp" and "etc/boot-menu-wait", which could be specified by command -boot splash=P,splash-time=T P is jpg/bmp file name or an absolute path, T have a max value of 0xffff, unit is ms. With these two options, if user invoke qemu with menu=on option, then a splash picture would be showed in a given time. For example: qemu -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000 would make boot.bmp shown as a brand with 5 seconds in the booting up process.

2011-06-06spice: add SASL supportMarc-André Lureau
Turn on SASL support by appending "sasl" to the spice arguments, which requires that the client use SASL to authenticate with the spice. The exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used to make it search alternate locations for the service config. While some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI), it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and 'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication credentials. It requires support from spice 0.8.1.

2011-05-08Introduce -machine command option.Anthony PERARD
This option gives the ability to switch one "accelerator" like kvm, xen or the default one tcg. We can specify more than one accelerator by separate them by a colon. QEMU will try each one and use the first whose works. So, ./qemu -machine accel=xen:kvm:tcg which would try Xen support first, then KVM and finally TCG if none of the other works. By default, QEMU will use TCG. But we can specify another default in the global configuration file.

2010-12-09spice: add qxl deviceGerd Hoffmann
qxl is a paravirtual graphics card. The qxl device is the bridge between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server). The spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which will actually render them. The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case the guest wants read something from video memory. Local rendering is also used to support display over vnc and sdl. qxl is activated using "-vga qxl". qxl supports multihead, additional cards can be added via '-device qxl".
