The 'tls-creds' option accepts the name of a TLS credentials
object. This replaced the usage of 'tls', 'x509' and 'x509verify'
options in 2.5.0. These deprecated options were grandfathered in
when the deprecation policy was introduded in 2.10.0, so can now
finally be removed.

hd-geo-test tested both the old version with geometry options in -drive

When QEMU emulates vNVDIMM labels and migrates vNVDIMM devices, it
needs to know whether the backend storage is a real persistent memory,
in order to decide whether special operations should be performed to
ensure the data persistence.
This boolean option 'pmem' allows users to specify whether the backend
storage of memory-backend-file is a real persistent memory. If
'pmem=on', QEMU will set the flag RAM_PMEM in the RAM block of the
corresponding memory region. If 'pmem' is set while lack of libpmem
support, a error is generated.

QEMU options have a single dash (but also work as double dash for
convenience and compatibility). Most options are listed with single
dash in command line help but some were listed with two dashes.
Normalize these to have the same format as the others.
Left --preconfig as that is mentioned as double dash everywhere so I
assume that is the preferred form for that.

Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) is a simpler mechanism for enabling TLS
connections than using certificates. It requires only a simple secret
key:
$ mkdir -m 0700 /tmp/keys
$ psktool -u rjones -p /tmp/keys/keys.psk
$ cat /tmp/keys/keys.psk
rjones:d543770c15ad93d76443fb56f501a31969235f47e999720ae8d2336f6a13fcbc
The key can be secretly shared between clients and servers. Clients
must specify the directory containing the "keys.psk" file and a
username (defaults to "qemu"). Servers must specify only the
directory.
Example NBD client:
$ qemu-img info \
--object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,dir=/tmp/keys,username=rjones,endpoint=client \
--image-opts \
file.driver=nbd,file.host=localhost,file.port=10809,file.tls-creds=tls0,file.export=/
Example NBD server using qemu-nbd:
$ qemu-nbd -t -x / \
--object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/tmp/keys \
--tls-creds tls0 \
image.qcow2
Example NBD server using nbdkit:
$ nbdkit -n -e / -fv \
--tls=on --tls-psk=/tmp/keys/keys.psk \
file file=disk.img

With this flag, kvm allows guest to control host CPU power state. This
increases latency for other processes using same host CPU in an
unpredictable way, but if decreases idle entry/exit times for the
running VCPU, so to use it QEMU needs a hint about whether host CPU is
overcommitted, hence the flag name.
Follow-up patches will expose this capability to guest
(using mwait leaf).
Based on a patch by Wanpeng Li <kernellwp@gmail.com> .

We currently have got three ways of turning on the HAX accelerator:
"-machine accel=hax", "-accel hax" and "-enable-hax". That's really
confusing and overloaded. Since "-accel" is our preferred way to enable
an accelerator nowadays, and "-accel hax" is even less to type than
"-enable-hax", let's deprecate the "-enable-hax" option now.
Note: While "-enable-kvm" is available since a long time and can hardly be
removed since it is used in a lot of upper layer tools and scripts, the
"-enable-hax" option is still rather new and not very widespread yet, so
I think that it should be OK if we remove this in a couple of releases again
(we'll see whether someone complains after seeing the deprecation message -
then we could still reconsider to keep it if there a well-founded reasons).

This option allows pausing QEMU in the new RUN_STATE_PRECONFIG state,
allowing the configuration of QEMU from QMP before the machine jumps
into board initialization code of machine_run_board_init()
The intent is to allow management to query machine state and additionally
configure it using previous query results within one QEMU instance
(i.e. eliminate the need to start QEMU twice, 1st to query board specific
parameters and 2nd for actual VM start using query results for
additional parameters).
The new option complements -S option and could be used with or without
it. The difference is that -S pauses QEMU when the machine is completely
initialized with all devices wired up and ready to execute guest code
(QEMU needs only to unpause VCPUs to let guest execute its code),
while the "preconfig" option pauses QEMU early before board specific init
callback (machine_run_board_init) is executed and allows the configuration
of machine parameters which will be used by board init code.
When early introspection/configuration is done, command 'exit-preconfig'
should be used to exit RUN_STATE_PRECONFIG and transition to the next
requested state (i.e. if -S is used then QEMU will pause the second
time when board/device initialization is completed or start guest
execution if -S isn't provided on CLI)
PS:
Initially 'preconfig' is planned to be used for configuring numa
topology depending on board specified possible cpus layout.

It's been marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.9.0, so that should have
been enough time for everybody to either just drop unnecessary "vlan=0"
parameters, to switch to the modern -device + -netdev syntax for connecting
guest NICs with host network backends, or to switch to the "hubport" netdev
in case hubs are really wanted instead.

We don't support just -runas <uid> because: (i) deprivileging without

"-net" is clearly a legacy option. Yet we still use it in almost all
examples in the qemu documentation, and many other spots in the network
chapter. We should make it less prominent that users are not lured into
using it so often anymore. So instead of starting the network chapter with
"-net nic" and documenting "-net <backend>" below "-netdev <backend>"
everywhere, all the "-net" related documentation is now moved to the end
of the chapter. The new "-nic" option is moved to the beginning of the
chapter instead, with a new example that should demonstrate how "-nic"
can be used to shortcut "-device" with "-netdev". The examples in this
chapter are changed to use the "-device" and "-netdev" options or
"-nic" instead of "-net nic -net <backend>".
While we're at it, also remove a legacy remark about very old Linux
distributions. Also remove the "[...]" from the examples in this chapter
since we are not using this ellipsis in any other examples in our docu-
mentation.

There are two issues with the documentation of the --balloon parameter:
First, "--balloon none" is simply doing nothing. Even if a machine had a
balloon device by default, this option is not disabling anything, it is
simply ignored. Thus let's simply drop this option from the documentation
to avoid to confuse the users (but keep the code in vl.c for backward
compatibility).
Second, the documentation claims that "--balloon virtio" is the default
mode, but this is not true anymore since commit 382f074371f7dc32a34.
Since that commit, the option also has no real use case anymore, since
you can simply use "--device virtio-balloon" nowadays instead. Thus to
simplify our complex parameter zoo a little bit, let's deprecate the

The legacy "-net" option can be quite confusing for the users since most
people do not expect to get a "vlan" hub between their emulated guest
hardware and the host backend. But so far, we are also not able to get
rid of "-net" completely, since it is the only way to configure on-board
NICs that can not be instantiated via "-device" yet. It's also a little
bit shorter to type "-net nic -net tap" instead of "-device xyz,netdev=n1
-netdev tap,id=n1".
So what we need is a new convenience option that is shorter to type than
the full -device + -netdev stuff, and which can be used to configure the
on-board NICs that can not be handled via -device yet. Thus this patch now
provides such a new option "--nic": It adds an entry in the nd_table to
configure a on-board / default NIC, creates a host backend and connects
the two directly, without a confusing "vlan" hub inbetween.

"-net dump" has been marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.10, since it
only works with the deprecated 'vlan' parameter (or hubs). Network
dumping should be done with "-object filter-dump" nowadays instead.
Since nobody complained so far about the deprecation message, let's
finally get rid of "-net dump" now.

Currently only file backed memory backend can
be created with a "share" flag in order to allow
sharing guest RAM with other processes in the host.
Add the "share" flag also to RAM Memory Backend
in order to allow remapping parts of the guest RAM
to different host virtual addresses. This is needed
by the RDMA devices in order to remap non-contiguous
QEMU virtual addresses to a contiguous virtual address range.
Moved the "share" flag to the Host Memory base class,
modified phys_mem_alloc to include the new parameter
and a new interface memory_region_init_ram_shared_nomigrate.
There are no functional changes if the new flag is not used.

The spaces between the parameters in the chardev and tpmdev sections
are rather confusing than helpful, and prevent that the lists can be
copy-n-pasted easily for real usage. We also don't use such spaces
in other sections in the documentation, e.g. with the -netdev option,
so let's be consistent and remove the spaces in the chardev and tpmdev
sections, too.

Add a new memory backend, similar to hostmem-file, except that it
doesn't need to create files. It also enforces memory sealing.
This backend is mainly useful for sharing the memory with other
processes.
Note that Linux supports transparent huge-pages of shmem/memfd memory
since 4.8. It is relatively easier to set up THP than a dedicate
hugepage mount point by using "madvise" in
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/shmem_enabled.
Since 4.14, memfd allows to set hugetlb requirement explicitly.
Pending for merge in 4.16 is memfd sealing support for hugetlb backed
memory.

-object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem1,size=1G

QEMU can emulate hubs to connect NICs and netdevs. This is currently
primarily used for the mis-named 'vlan' feature of the networking
subsystem. Now the 'vlan' feature has been marked as deprecated, since
its name is rather confusing and the users often rather mis-configure
their network when trying to use it. But while the 'vlan' parameter
should be removed at one point in time, the basic idea of emulating
a hub in QEMU is still good: It's useful for bundling up the output of
multiple NICs into one single l2tp netdev for example.
Now to be able to use the hubport feature without 'vlan's, there is one
missing piece: The possibility to connect a hubport to a netdev, too.
This patch adds this possibility by introducing a new "netdev=..."
parameter to the hubports.
To bundle up the output of multiple NICs into one socket netdev, you can
now run QEMU with these parameters for example:
qemu-system-ppc64 ... -netdev socket,id=s1,connect=:11122 \
-netdev hubport,hubid=1,id=h1,netdev=s1 \
-netdev hubport,hubid=1,id=h2 -device e1000,netdev=h2 \
-netdev hubport,hubid=1,id=h3 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=h3
For using the socket netdev, you have got to start another QEMU as the
receiving side first, for example with network dumping enabled:
qemu-system-x86_64 -M isapc -netdev socket,id=s0,listen=:11122 \
-device ne2k_isa,netdev=s0 \
-object filter-dump,id=f1,netdev=s0,file=/tmp/dump.dat
After the ppc64 guest tried to boot from both NICs, you can see in the
dump file (using Wireshark, for example), that the output of both NICs
(the e1000 and the virtio-net-pci) has been successfully transfered
via the socket netdev in this case.

The option have been marked as deprecated since QEMU 2.10, and so far
nobody complained that the host, serial, disk and net options are urgently
required anymore. So let's now get rid at least of this legacy pile, to
simplify the usb code quite a bit.
This patch removes the usbdevices host, serial, disk and net. These devices
use their own complicated parameter parsing mechanisms, so they are just
ugly to maintain, without real benefit for the users (the users can use the
corresponding "-device" parameters instead which have the same complexity
as the "-usbdevice" devices here).
Note that the other rather simple -usbdevice options (mouse, tablet, etc.)
are not removed yet (the code is really simple here, so it does not hurt
much to keep it), as well as the two devices "braille" and "bt" which are
easier to use with -usbdevice than with -device.
