2023-10-20CPU topology: extend with s390 specificsPierre Morel
S390 adds two new SMP levels, drawers and books to the CPU topology. S390 CPUs have specific topology features like dedication and entitlement. These indicate to the guest information on host vCPU scheduling and help the guest make better scheduling decisions. Add the new levels to the relevant QAPI structs. Add all the supported topology levels, dedication and entitlement as properties to S390 CPUs. Create machine-common.json so we can later include it in machine-target.json also.

2023-10-04migration: file URI offsetSteve Sistare
Allow an offset option to be specified as part of the file URI, in the form "file:filename,offset=offset", where offset accepts the common size suffixes, or the 0x prefix, but not both. Migration data is written to and read from the file starting at offset. If unspecified, it defaults to 0. This is needed by libvirt to store its own data at the head of the file.

2023-10-04migration: file URISteve Sistare
Extend the migration URI to support file:<filename>. This can be used for any migration scenario that does not require a reverse path. It can be used as an alternative to 'exec:cat > file' in minimized containers that do not contain /bin/sh, and it is easier to use than the fd:<fdname> URI. It can be used in HMP commands, and as a qemu command-line parameter. For best performance, guest ram should be shared and x-ignore-shared should be true, so guest pages are not written to the file, in which case the guest may remain running. If ram is not so configured, then the user is advised to stop the guest first. Otherwise, a busy guest may re-dirty the same page, causing it to be appended to the file multiple times, and the file may grow unboundedly. That issue is being addressed in the "fixed-ram" patch series.

2023-10-03audio: remove QEMU_AUDIO_* and -audio-help supportPaolo Bonzini
These have been deprecated for a long time, and the introduction of -audio in 7.1.0 has cemented the new way of specifying an audio backend's parameters. However, there is still a need for simple configuration of the audio backend in the desktop case; therefore, if no audiodev is passed to audio_init(), go through a bunch of simple Audiodev* structures and pick the first that can be initialized successfully. The only QEMU_AUDIO_* option that is left in, waiting for a better idea, is QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none which is used by qtest. Remove all the parsing code, including the concept of "can_be_default" audio drivers: now that audio_prio_list[] is only used in a single place, wav can be excluded directly in that function.

2023-09-19backends/hostmem-file: Add "rom" property to support VM templating with R/O ↵David Hildenbrand
files For now, "share=off,readonly=on" would always result in us opening the file R/O and mmap'ing the opened file MAP_PRIVATE R/O -- effectively turning it into ROM. Especially for VM templating, "share=off" is a common use case. However, that use case is impossible with files that lack write permissions, because "share=off,readonly=on" will not give us writable RAM. The sole user of ROM via memory-backend-file are R/O NVDIMMs, but as we have users (Kata Containers) that rely on the existing behavior -- malicious VMs should not be able to consume COW memory for R/O NVDIMMs -- we cannot change the semantics of "share=off,readonly=on" So let's add a new "rom" property with on/off/auto values. "auto" is the default and what most people will use: for historical reasons, to not change the old semantics, it defaults to the value of the "readonly" property. For VM templating, one can now use: -object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=on,rom=off,... But we'll disallow: -object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=on,rom=off,... because we would otherwise get an error when trying to mmap the R/O file shared and writable. An explicit error message is cleaner. We will also disallow for now: -object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=off,rom=on,... -object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=off,rom=on,... It's not harmful, but also not really required for now. Alternatives that were abandoned: * Make "unarmed=on" for the NVDIMM set the memory region container readonly. We would still see a change of ROM->RAM and possibly run into memslot limits with vhost-user. Further, there might be use cases for "unarmed=on" that should still allow writing to that memory (temporary files, system RAM, ...). * Add a new "readonly=on/off/auto" parameter for NVDIMMs. Similar issues as with "unarmed=on". * Make "readonly" consume "on/off/file" instead of being a 'bool' type. This would slightly changes the behavior of the "readonly" parameter: values like true/false (as accepted by a 'bool'type) would no longer be accepted.

2023-09-18net: add initial support for AF_XDP network backendIlya Maximets
AF_XDP is a network socket family that allows communication directly with the network device driver in the kernel, bypassing most or all of the kernel networking stack. In the essence, the technology is pretty similar to netmap. But, unlike netmap, AF_XDP is Linux-native and works with any network interfaces without driver modifications. Unlike vhost-based backends (kernel, user, vdpa), AF_XDP doesn't require access to character devices or unix sockets. Only access to the network interface itself is necessary. This patch implements a network backend that communicates with the kernel by creating an AF_XDP socket. A chunk of userspace memory is shared between QEMU and the host kernel. 4 ring buffers (Tx, Rx, Fill and Completion) are placed in that memory along with a pool of memory buffers for the packet data. Data transmission is done by allocating one of the buffers, copying packet data into it and placing the pointer into Tx ring. After transmission, device will return the buffer via Completion ring. On Rx, device will take a buffer form a pre-populated Fill ring, write the packet data into it and place the buffer into Rx ring. AF_XDP network backend takes on the communication with the host kernel and the network interface and forwards packets to/from the peer device in QEMU. Usage example: -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=guest1,mac=00:16:35:AF:AA:5C -netdev af-xdp,ifname=ens6f1np1,id=guest1,mode=native,queues=1 XDP program bridges the socket with a network interface. It can be attached to the interface in 2 different modes: 1. skb - this mode should work for any interface and doesn't require driver support. With a caveat of lower performance. 2. native - this does require support from the driver and allows to bypass skb allocation in the kernel and potentially use zero-copy while getting packets in/out userspace. By default, QEMU will try to use native mode and fall back to skb. Mode can be forced via 'mode' option. To force 'copy' even in native mode, use 'force-copy=on' option. This might be useful if there is some issue with the driver. Option 'queues=N' allows to specify how many device queues should be open. Note that all the queues that are not open are still functional and can receive traffic, but it will not be delivered to QEMU. So, the number of device queues should generally match the QEMU configuration, unless the device is shared with something else and the traffic re-direction to appropriate queues is correctly configured on a device level (e.g. with ethtool -N). 'start-queue=M' option can be used to specify from which queue id QEMU should start configuring 'N' queues. It might also be necessary to use this option with certain NICs, e.g. MLX5 NICs. See the docs for examples. In a general case QEMU will need CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_BPF capabilities in order to load default XSK/XDP programs to the network interface and configure BPF maps. It is possible, however, to run with no capabilities. For that to work, an external process with enough capabilities will need to pre-load default XSK program, create AF_XDP sockets and pass their file descriptors to QEMU process on startup via 'sock-fds' option. Network backend will need to be configured with 'inhibit=on' to avoid loading of the program. QEMU will need 32 MB of locked memory (RLIMIT_MEMLOCK) per queue or CAP_IPC_LOCK. There are few performance challenges with the current network backends. First is that they do not support IO threads. This means that data path is handled by the main thread in QEMU and may slow down other work or may be slowed down by some other work. This also means that taking advantage of multi-queue is generally not possible today. Another thing is that data path is going through the device emulation code, which is not really optimized for performance. The fastest "frontend" device is virtio-net. But it's not optimized for heavy traffic either, because it expects such use-cases to be handled via some implementation of vhost (user, kernel, vdpa). In practice, we have virtio notifications and rcu lock/unlock on a per-packet basis and not very efficient accesses to the guest memory. Communication channels between backend and frontend devices do not allow passing more than one packet at a time as well. Some of these challenges can be avoided in the future by adding better batching into device emulation or by implementing vhost-af-xdp variant. There are also a few kernel limitations. AF_XDP sockets do not support any kinds of checksum or segmentation offloading. Buffers are limited to a page size (4K), i.e. MTU is limited. Multi-buffer support implementation for AF_XDP is in progress, but not ready yet. Also, transmission in all non-zero-copy modes is synchronous, i.e. done in a syscall. That doesn't allow high packet rates on virtual interfaces. However, keeping in mind all of these challenges, current implementation of the AF_XDP backend shows a decent performance while running on top of a physical NIC with zero-copy support. Test setup: 2 VMs running on 2 physical hosts connected via ConnectX6-Dx card. Network backend is configured to open the NIC directly in native mode. The driver supports zero-copy. NIC is configured to use 1 queue. Inside a VM - iperf3 for basic TCP performance testing and dpdk-testpmd for PPS testing. iperf3 result: TCP stream : 19.1 Gbps dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results: Tx only : 3.4 Mpps Rx only : 2.0 Mpps L2 FWD Loopback : 1.5 Mpps In skb mode the same setup shows much lower performance, similar to the setup where pair of physical NICs is replaced with veth pair: iperf3 result: TCP stream : 9 Gbps dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results: Tx only : 1.2 Mpps Rx only : 1.0 Mpps L2 FWD Loopback : 0.7 Mpps Results in skb mode or over the veth are close to results of a tap backend with vhost=on and disabled segmentation offloading bridged with a NIC.

2023-06-05qcow2: add discard-no-unref optionJean-Louis Dupond
When we for example have a sparse qcow2 image and discard: unmap is enabled, there can be a lot of fragmentation in the image after some time. Especially on VM's that do a lot of writes/deletes. This causes the qcow2 image to grow even over 110% of its virtual size, because the free gaps in the image get too small to allocate new continuous clusters. So it allocates new space at the end of the image. Disabling discard is not an option, as discard is needed to keep the incremental backup size as low as possible. Without discard, the incremental backups would become large, as qemu thinks it's just dirty blocks but it doesn't know the blocks are unneeded. So we need to avoid fragmentation but also 'empty' the unneeded blocks in the image to have a small incremental backup. In addition, we also want to send the discards further down the stack, so the underlying blocks are still discarded. Therefor we introduce a new qcow2 option "discard-no-unref". When setting this option to true, discards will no longer have the qcow2 driver relinquish cluster allocations. Other than that, the request is handled as normal: All clusters in range are marked as zero, and, if pass-discard-request is true, it is passed further down the stack. The only difference is that the now-zero clusters are preallocated instead of being unallocated. This will avoid fragmentation on the qcow2 image.

2023-05-23hostmem-file: add offset optionAlexander Graf
Add an option for hostmem-file to start the memory object at an offset into the target file. This is useful if multiple memory objects reside inside the same target file, such as a device node. In particular, it's useful to map guest memory directly into /dev/mem for experimentation. To make this work consistently, also fix up all places in QEMU that expect fd offsets to be 0.

2023-05-05audio/pwaudio.c: Add Pipewire audio backend for QEMUDorinda Bassey
This commit adds a new audiodev backend to allow QEMU to use Pipewire as both an audio sink and source. This backend is available on most systems Add Pipewire entry points for QEMU Pipewire audio backend Add wrappers for QEMU Pipewire audio backend in qpw_pcm_ops() qpw_write function returns the current state of the stream to pwaudio and Writes some data to the server for playback streams using pipewire spa_ringbuffer implementation. qpw_read function returns the current state of the stream to pwaudio and reads some data from the server for capture streams using pipewire spa_ringbuffer implementation. These functions qpw_write and qpw_read are called during playback and capture. Added some functions that convert pw audio formats to QEMU audio format and vice versa which would be needed in the pipewire audio sink and source functions qpw_init_in() & qpw_init_out(). These methods that implement playback and recording will create streams for playback and capture that will start processing and will result in the on_process callbacks to be called. Built a connection to the Pipewire sound system server in the qpw_audio_init() method.

2023-05-02make one-insn-per-tb an accel optionPeter Maydell
This commit adds 'one-insn-per-tb' as a property on the TCG accelerator object, so you can enable it with -accel tcg,one-insn-per-tb=on It has the same behaviour as the existing '-singlestep' command line option. We use a different name because 'singlestep' has always been a confusing choice, because it doesn't have anything to do with single-stepping the CPU. What it does do is force TCG emulation to put one guest instruction in each TB, which can be useful in some situations (such as analysing debug logs). The existing '-singlestep' commandline options are decoupled from the global 'singlestep' variable and instead now are syntactic sugar for setting the accel property. (These can then go away after a deprecation period.) The global variable remains for the moment as: * what the TCG code looks at to change its behaviour * what HMP and QMP use to query and set the behaviour In the following commits we'll clean those up to not directly look at the global variable.

2023-04-20chardev: Allow setting file chardev input file on the command linePeter Maydell
Our 'file' chardev backend supports both "output from this chardev is written to a file" and "input from this chardev should be read from a file" (except on Windows). However, you can only set up the input file if you're using the QMP interface -- there is no command line syntax to do it. Add command line syntax to allow specifying an input file as well as an output file, using a new 'input-path' suboption. The specific use case I have is that I'd like to be able to feed fuzzer reproducer input into qtest without having to use '-qtest stdio' and put the input onto stdin. Being able to use a file chardev like this: -chardev file,id=repro,path=/dev/null,input-path=repro.txt -qtest chardev:repro means that stdio is free for use by gdb.

Currently we'll always generate a cluster node no matter user has specified '-smp clusters=X' or not. Cluster is an optional level and will participant the building of Linux scheduling domains and only appears on a few platforms. It's unncessary to always build it when it cannot reflect the real topology on platforms having no cluster implementation and to avoid affecting the linux scheduling domains in the VM.

2022-10-31os-posix: asynchronous teardown for shutdown on LinuxClaudio Imbrenda
This patch adds support for asynchronously tearing down a VM on Linux. When qemu terminates, either naturally or because of a fatal signal, the VM is torn down. If the VM is huge, it can take a considerable amount of time for it to be cleaned up. In case of a protected VM, it might take even longer than a non-protected VM (this is the case on s390x, for example). Some users might want to shut down a VM and restart it immediately, without having to wait. This is especially true if management infrastructure like libvirt is used. This patch implements a simple trick on Linux to allow qemu to return immediately, with the teardown of the VM being performed asynchronously. If the new commandline option -async-teardown is used, a new process is spawned from qemu at startup, using the clone syscall, in such way that it will share its address space with qemu.The new process will have the name "cleanup/<QEMU_PID>". It will wait until qemu terminates completely, and then it will exit itself. This allows qemu to terminate quickly, without having to wait for the whole address space to be torn down. The cleanup process will exit after qemu, so it will be the last user of the address space, and therefore it will take care of the actual teardown. The cleanup process will share the same cgroups as qemu, so both memory usage and cpu time will be accounted properly. If possible, close_range will be used in the cleanup process to close all open file descriptors. If it is not available or if it fails, /proc will be used to determine which file descriptors to close. If the cleanup process is forcefully killed with SIGKILL before the main qemu process has terminated completely, the mechanism is defeated and the teardown will not be asynchronous.

2022-10-28qapi: net: add stream and dgram netdevsLaurent Vivier
Copied from socket netdev file and modified to use SocketAddress to be able to introduce new features like unix socket. "udp" and "mcast" are squashed into dgram netdev, multicast is detected according to the IP address type. "listen" and "connect" modes are managed by stream netdev. An optional parameter "server" defines the mode (off by default) The two new types need to be parsed the modern way with -netdev, because with the traditional way, the "type" field of netdev structure collides with the "type" field of SocketAddress and prevents the correct evaluation of the command line option. Moreover the traditional way doesn't allow to use the same type (SocketAddress) several times with the -netdev option (needed to specify "local" and "remote" addresses). The previous commit paved the way for parsing the modern way, but omitted one detail: how to pick modern vs. traditional, in netdev_is_modern(). We want to pick based on the value of parameter "type". But how to extract it from the option argument? Parsing the option argument, either the modern or the traditional way, extracts it for us, but only if parsing succeeds. If parsing fails, there is no good option. No matter which parser we pick, it'll be the wrong one for some arguments, and the error reporting will be confusing. Fortunately, the traditional parser accepts *anything* when called in a certain way. This maximizes our chance to extract the value of "type", and in turn minimizes the risk of confusing error reporting.

2022-10-28vhost-vdpa: allow passing opened vhostfd to vhost-vdpaSi-Wei Liu
Similar to other vhost backends, vhostfd can be passed to vhost-vdpa backend as another parameter to instantiate vhost-vdpa net client. This would benefit the use case where only open file descriptors, as opposed to raw vhost-vdpa device paths, are accessible from the QEMU process.
