2021-07-27qemu-options.hx: Fix formatting of -machine memory-backend optionPeter Maydell
The documentation of the -machine memory-backend has some minor formatting errors: * Misindentation of the initial line meant that the whole option section is incorrectly indented in the HTML output compared to the other -machine options * The examples weren't indented, which meant that they were formatted as plain run-on text including outputting the "::" as text. * The a) b) list has no rst-format markup so it is rendered as a single run-on paragraph Fix the formatting.

2021-07-21iothread: add aio-max-batch parameterStefano Garzarella
The `aio-max-batch` parameter will be propagated to AIO engines and it will be used to control the maximum number of queued requests. When there are in queue a number of requests equal to `aio-max-batch`, the engine invokes the system call to forward the requests to the kernel. This parameter allows us to control the maximum batch size to reduce the latency that requests might accumulate while queued in the AIO engine queue. If `aio-max-batch` is equal to 0 (default value), the AIO engine will use its default maximum batch size value.

The parameters of intel-iommu device are non-trivial to understand. Add an entry for it so that people can reference to it when using. There're actually a few more options there, but I hide them explicitly because they shouldn't be used by normal QEMU users.

2021-07-14qemu-options: rewrite help for -smp optionsDaniel P. Berrangé
The -smp option help is peculiarly specific about mentioning the CPU upper limits, but these are wrong. The "PC" target has varying max CPU counts depending on the machine type picked. Notes about guest OS limits are inappropriate for QEMU docs. There are way too many machine types for it to be practical to mention actual limits, and some limits are even modified by downstream distribtions. Thus it is better to remove the specific limits entirely. The CPU topology reporting is also not neccessarily specific to the PC platform and descriptions around the rules of usage are somewhat terse. Expand this information with some examples to show effects of defaulting. Reviewed-by: Pankaj Gupta <pankaj.gupta@ionos.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Jones <drjones@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2021-07-05ui: Mark the '-no-quit' option as deprecatedThomas Huth
It's just a wrapper around the -display ...,window-close=off parameter, and the name "no-quit" is rather confusing compared to "window-close" (since there are still other means to quit the emulator), so we should rather tell our users to use the "window-close" parameter instead.

2021-05-14hw/smbios: support for type 41 (onboard devices extended information)Vincent Bernat
Type 41 defines the attributes of devices that are onboard. The original intent was to imply the BIOS had some level of control over the enablement of the associated devices. If network devices are present in this table, by default, udev will name the corresponding interfaces enoX, X being the instance number. Without such information, udev will fallback to using the PCI ID and this usually gives ens3 or ens4. This can be a bit annoying as the name of the network card may depend on the order of options and may change if a new PCI device is added earlier on the commande line. Being able to provide SMBIOS type 41 entry ensure the name of the interface won't change and helps the user guess the right name without booting a first time. This can be invoked with: $QEMU -netdev user,id=internet -device virtio-net-pci,mac=50:54:00:00:00:42,netdev=internet,id=internet-dev \ -smbios type=41,designation='Onboard LAN',instance=1,kind=ethernet,pcidev=internet-dev The PCI segment is assumed to be 0. This should hold true for most cases. $ dmidecode -t 41 # dmidecode 3.3 Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. SMBIOS 2.8 present.

2021-03-19qemu-options: New -compat to set policy for deprecated interfacesMarkus Armbruster
New option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated interfaces get used. This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces. It is experimental. -compat deprecated-input=<input-policy> configures what to do when deprecated input is received. Input policy can be "accept" (accept silently), or "reject" (reject the request with an error). -compat deprecated-output=<out-policy> configures what to do when deprecated output is sent. Output policy can be "accept" (pass on unchanged), or "hide" (filter out the deprecated parts). Default is "accept". Policies other than "accept" are implemented later in this series. For now, -compat covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged with feature 'deprecated'. We may want to extend it to cover semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features. Note that there is no good way for management application to detect presence of -compat: it's not visible output of query-qmp-schema or query-command-line-options. Tolerable, because it's meant for testing. If running with -compat fails, skip the test.

Let -object memory-backend-file work on read-only files when the readonly=on option is given. This can be used to share the contents of a file between multiple guests while preventing them from consuming Copy-on-Write memory if guests dirty the pages, for example.

2021-01-21runstate: cleanup reboot and panic actionsPaolo Bonzini
The possible choices for panic, reset and watchdog actions are inconsistent. "-action panic=poweroff" should be renamed to "-action panic=shutdown" on the command line. This is because "-action panic=poweroff" and "-action watchdog=poweroff" have slightly different semantics, the first does an unorderly exit while the second goes through qemu_cleanup(). With this change, -no-shutdown would not have to change "-action panic=pause" "pause", just like it does not have to change the reset action. "-action reboot=none" should be renamed to "-action reboot=reset". This should be self explanatory, since for example "-action panic=none" lets the guest proceed without taking any action.

2021-01-15sdlaudio: add -audiodev sdl,out.buffer-count optionVolker Rümelin
Currently there is a crackling noise with SDL2 audio playback. Commit bcf19777df: "audio/sdlaudio: Allow audio playback with SDL2" already mentioned the crackling noise. Add an out.buffer-count option to give users a chance to select sane settings for glitch free audio playback. The idea was taken from the coreaudio backend. The in.buffer-count option will be used with one of the next patches.

2021-01-15ui: add support for remote power control to VNC serverDaniel P. Berrangé
The "XVP" (Xen VNC Proxy) extension defines a mechanism for a VNC client to issue power control requests to trigger graceful shutdown, reboot, or hard reset. This option is not enabled by default, since we cannot assume that users with VNC access implicitly have administrator access to the guest OS. Thus is it enabled with a boolean "power-control" option e.g. -vnc :1,power-control=on While, QEMU can easily support shutdown and reset, there's no easy way to wire up reboot support at this time. In theory it could be done by issuing a shutdown, followed by a reset, but there's no convenient wiring for such a pairing in QEMU. It also isn't possible to have the VNC server directly talk to QEMU guest agent, since the agent chardev is typically owned by an external mgmt app. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2020-12-15vl: Add option to avoid stopping VM upon guest panicAlejandro Jimenez
The current default action of pausing a guest after a panic event is received leaves the responsibility to resume guest execution to the management layer. The reasons for this behavior are discussed here: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/52148F88.5000509@redhat.com/ However, in instances like the case of older guests (Linux and Windows) using a pvpanic device but missing support for the PVPANIC_CRASHLOADED event, and Windows guests using the hv-crash enlightenment, it is desirable to allow the guests to continue running after sending a PVPANIC_PANICKED event. This allows such guests to proceed to capture a crash dump and automatically reboot without intervention of a management layer. Add an option to avoid stopping a VM after a panic event is received, by passing: -action panic=none in the command line arguments, or during runtime by using an upcoming QMP command.
