2019-09-05qemu-doc: Do not hard-code the name of the QEMU binaryThomas Huth
In our documentation, we use a mix of "$QEMU", "qemu-system-i386" and "qemu-system-x86_64" when we give examples to the users how to run QEMU. Some more consistency would be good here. Also some distributions use different names for the QEMU binary (e.g. "qemu-kvm" in RHEL), so providing more flexibility here would also be good. Thus let's define some variables for the names of the QEMU command and use those in the documentation instead: @value{qemu_system} for generic examples, and @value{qemu_system_x86} for examples that only work with the x86 binaries.

2019-07-03VirtIO-RNG: Update default entropy source to `/dev/urandom`Kashyap Chamarthy
When QEMU exposes a VirtIO-RNG device to the guest, that device needs a source of entropy, and that source needs to be "non-blocking", like `/dev/urandom`. However, currently QEMU defaults to the problematic `/dev/random`, which on Linux is "blocking" (as in, it waits until sufficient entropy is available). Why prefer `/dev/urandom` over `/dev/random`? --------------------------------------------- The man pages of urandom(4) and random(4) state: "The /dev/random device is a legacy interface which dates back to a time where the cryptographic primitives used in the implementation of /dev/urandom were not widely trusted. It will return random bytes only within the estimated number of bits of fresh noise in the entropy pool, blocking if necessary. /dev/random is suitable for applications that need high quality randomness, and can afford indeterminate delays." Further, the "Usage" section of the said man pages state: "The /dev/random interface is considered a legacy interface, and /dev/urandom is preferred and sufficient in all use cases, with the exception of applications which require randomness during early boot time; for these applications, getrandom(2) must be used instead, because it will block until the entropy pool is initialized. "If a seed file is saved across reboots as recommended below (all major Linux distributions have done this since 2000 at least), the output is cryptographically secure against attackers without local root access as soon as it is reloaded in the boot sequence, and perfectly adequate for network encryption session keys. Since reads from /dev/random may block, users will usually want to open it in nonblocking mode (or perform a read with timeout), and provide some sort of user notification if the desired entropy is not immediately available." And refer to random(7) for a comparison of `/dev/random` and `/dev/urandom`. What about other OSes? ---------------------- `/dev/urandom` exists and works on OS-X, FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, which cover all the non-Linux platforms we explicitly support, aside from Windows. On Windows `/dev/random` doesn't work either so we don't regress. This is actually another argument in favour of using the newly proposed 'rng-builtin' backend by default, as that will work on Windows. - - - Given the above, change the entropy source for VirtIO-RNG device to `/dev/urandom`.

2019-03-11chardev: add support for authorization for TLS clientsDaniel P. Berrange
Currently any client which can complete the TLS handshake is able to use a chardev server. The server admin can turn on the 'verify-peer' option for the x509 creds to require the client to provide a x509 certificate. This means the client will have to acquire a certificate from the CA before they are permitted to use the chardev server. This is still a fairly low bar. This adds a 'tls-authz=OBJECT-ID' option to the socket chardev backend which takes the ID of a previously added 'QAuthZ' object instance. This will be used to validate the client's x509 distinguished name. Clients failing the check will not be permitted to use the chardev server. For example to setup authorization that only allows connection from a client whose x509 certificate distinguished name contains 'CN=fred', you would use: $QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\ endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \ -object authz-simple,id=authz0,identity=CN=laptop.example.com,,\ O=Example Org,,L=London,,ST=London,,C=GB \ -chardev socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=9000,server,\ tls-creds=tls0,tls-authz=authz0 \ ...other qemu args...

2019-03-11vnc: allow specifying a custom authorization object nameDaniel P. Berrange
The VNC server has historically had support for ACLs to check both the SASL username and the TLS x509 distinguished name. The VNC server was responsible for creating the initial ACL, and the client app was then responsible for populating it with rules using the HMP 'acl_add' command. This is not satisfactory for a variety of reasons. There is no way to populate the ACLs from the command line, users are forced to use the HMP. With multiple network services all supporting TLS and ACLs now, it is desirable to be able to define a single ACL that is referenced by all services. To address these limitations, two new options are added to the VNC server CLI. The 'tls-authz' option takes the ID of a QAuthZ object to use for checking TLS x509 distinguished names, and the 'sasl-authz' option takes the ID of another object to use for checking SASL usernames. In this example, we setup two authorization rules. The first allows any client with a certificate issued by the 'RedHat' organization in the 'London' locality. The second ACL allows clients with either the 'joe@REDHAT.COM' or 'fred@REDHAT.COM' kerberos usernames. Both checks must pass for the user to be allowed. $QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\ endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \ -object authz-simple,id=authz0,policy=deny,\ rules.0.match=O=RedHat,,L=London,rules.0.policy=allow \ -object authz-simple,id=authz1,policy=deny,\ rules.0.match=fred@REDHAT.COM,rules.0.policy=allow \ rules.0.match=joe@REDHAT.COM,rules.0.policy=allow \ -vnc 0.0.0.0:1,tls-creds=tls0,tls-authz=authz0, sasl,sasl-authz=authz1 \ ...other QEMU args...

2019-02-26authz: add QAuthZPAM object type for authorizing using PAMDaniel P. Berrange
Add an authorization backend that talks to PAM to check whether the user identity is allowed. This only uses the PAM account validation facility, which is essentially just a check to see if the provided username is permitted access. It doesn't use the authentication or session parts of PAM, since that's dealt with by the relevant part of QEMU (eg VNC server). Consider starting QEMU with a VNC server and telling it to use TLS with x509 client certificates and configuring it to use an PAM to validate the x509 distinguished name. In this example we're telling it to use PAM for the QAuthZ impl with a service name of "qemu-vnc" $ qemu-system-x86_64 \ -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/security/qemutls,\ endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \ -object authz-pam,id=authz0,service=qemu-vnc \ -vnc :1,tls-creds=tls0,tls-authz=authz0 This requires an /etc/pam/qemu-vnc file to be created with the auth rules. A very simple file based whitelist can be setup using $ cat > /etc/pam/qemu-vnc <<EOF account requisite pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/qemu/vnc.allow EOF The /etc/qemu/vnc.allow file simply contains one username per line. Any username not in the file is denied. The usernames in this example are the x509 distinguished name from the client's x509 cert. $ cat > /etc/qemu/vnc.allow <<EOF CN=laptop.berrange.com,O=Berrange Home,L=London,ST=London,C=GB EOF More interesting would be to configure PAM to use an LDAP backend, so that the QEMU authorization check data can be centralized instead of requiring each compute host to have file maintained. The main limitation with this PAM module is that the rules apply to all QEMU instances on the host. Setting up different rules per VM, would require creating a separate PAM service name & config file for every guest. An alternative approach for the future might be to not pass in the plain username to PAM, but instead combine the VM name or UUID with the username. This requires further consideration though.

2019-02-26authz: add QAuthZListFile object type for a file access control listDaniel P. Berrangé
Add a QAuthZListFile object type that implements the QAuthZ interface. This built-in implementation is a proxy around the QAuthZList object type, initializing it from an external file, and optionally, automatically reloading it whenever it changes. To create an instance of this object via the QMP monitor, the syntax used would be: { "execute": "object-add", "arguments": { "qom-type": "authz-list-file", "id": "authz0", "props": { "filename": "/etc/qemu/vnc.acl", "refresh": true } } } If "refresh" is "yes", inotify is used to monitor the file, automatically reloading changes. If an error occurs during reloading, all authorizations will fail until the file is next successfully loaded. The /etc/qemu/vnc.acl file would contain a JSON representation of a QAuthZList object { "rules": [ { "match": "fred", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" }, { "match": "bob", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" }, { "match": "danb", "policy": "deny", "format": "glob" }, { "match": "dan*", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" }, ], "policy": "deny" } This sets up an authorization rule that allows 'fred', 'bob' and anyone whose name starts with 'dan', except for 'danb'. Everyone unmatched is denied. The object can be loaded on the comand line using -object authz-list-file,id=authz0,filename=/etc/qemu/vnc.acl,refresh=yes Reviewed-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Tested-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <philmd@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2018-11-12bt: Mark the bluetooth subsystem as deprecatedThomas Huth
It has been unmaintained since years, and there were only trivial or tree-wide changes to the related files since many years, so the code is likely very bitrotten and broken. For example the following segfaults as soon as as you press a key: qemu-system-x86_64 -usb -device usb-bt-dongle -bt hci -bt device:keyboard Since we are not aware of anybody using bluetooth with the current version of QEMU, let's mark the subsystem as deprecated, with a special request for the users to write to the qemu-devel mailing list in case they still use it (so we could revert the deprecation status in that case).

2018-10-01qcow2: Increase the default upper limit on the L2 cache sizeLeonid Bloch
The upper limit on the L2 cache size is increased from 1 MB to 32 MB on Linux platforms, and to 8 MB on other platforms (this difference is caused by the ability to set intervals for cache cleaning on Linux platforms only). This is done in order to allow default full coverage with the L2 cache for images of up to 256 GB in size (was 8 GB). Note, that only the needed amount to cover the full image is allocated. The value which is changed here is just the upper limit on the L2 cache size, beyond which it will not grow, even if the size of the image will require it to.

2018-10-01qcow2: Assign the L2 cache relatively to the image sizeLeonid Bloch
Sufficient L2 cache can noticeably improve the performance when using large images with frequent I/O. Previously, unless 'cache-size' was specified and was large enough, the L2 cache was set to a certain size without taking the virtual image size into account. Now, the L2 cache assignment is aware of the virtual size of the image, and will cover the entire image, unless the cache size needed for that is larger than a certain maximum. This maximum is set to 1 MB by default (enough to cover an 8 GB image with the default cluster size) but can be increased or decreased using the 'l2-cache-size' option. This option was previously documented as the *maximum* L2 cache size, and this patch makes it behave as such, instead of as a constant size. Also, the existing option 'cache-size' can limit the sum of both L2 and refcount caches, as previously.
