It can be useful to figure out which NBD protocol features are
exposed by a server, as well as what features a client will
take advantage of if available, for a given qemu release. It's
not always precise to base features on version numbers (thanks
to downstream backports), but any documentation is better than
making users search through git logs themselves.
This patch originally stemmed from a request to document that
pristine 3.0 has a known bug where NBD_OPT_LIST_META_CONTEXT
with 0 queries forgot to advertise an available
"qemu:dirty-bitmap" context, but documenting bugs like this (or
the fact that 3.0 also botched NBD_CMD_CACHE) gets to be too
much details, especially since buggy releases will be less
likely connection targets over time. Instead, I chose to just
remind users to check stable release branches.

When a QMP client sends in-band commands more quickly that we can
process them, we can either queue them without limit (QUEUE), drop
commands when the queue is full (DROP), or suspend receiving commands
when the queue is full (SUSPEND). None of them is ideal:
* QUEUE lets a misbehaving client make QEMU eat memory without bounds.
Not such a hot idea.
* With DROP, the client has to cope with dropped in-band commands. To
inform the client, we send a COMMAND_DROPPED event then. The event is
flawed by design in two ways: it's ambiguous (see commit d621cfe0a17),
and it brings back the "eat memory without bounds" problem.
* With SUSPEND, the client has to manage the flow of in-band commands to
keep the monitor available for out-of-band commands.
We currently DROP. Switch to SUSPEND.
Managing the flow of in-band commands to keep the monitor available for
out-of-band commands isn't really hard: just count the number of
"outstanding" in-band commands (commands sent minus replies received),
and if it exceeds the limit, hold back additional ones until it drops
below the limit again.
Note that we need to be careful pairing the suspend with a resume, or
else the monitor will hang, possibly forever. And here since we need to
make sure both:
(1) popping request from the req queue, and
(2) reading length of the req queue
will be in the same critical section, we let the pop function take the
corresponding queue lock when there is a request, then we release the
lock from the caller.

Although off_t permits up to 63 bits (8EB) of file offsets, in
practice, we're going to hit other limits first. Document some
of those limits in the qcow2 spec (some are inherent, others are
implementation choices of qemu), and how choice of cluster size
can influence some of the limits.
While we cannot map any uncompressed virtual cluster to any
address higher than 64 PB (56 bits) (due to the current L1/L2
field encoding stopping at bit 55), qemu's cap of 8M for the
refcount table can still access larger host addresses for some
combinations of large clusters and small refcount_order. For
comparison, ext4 with 4k blocks caps files at 16PB.
Another interesting limit: for compressed clusters, the L2 layout
requires an ever-smaller maximum host offset as cluster size gets
larger, down to a 512 TB maximum with 2M clusters. In particular,
note that with a cluster size of 8k or smaller, the L2 entry for
a compressed cluster could technically point beyond the 64PB mark,
but when you consider that with 8k clusters and refcount_order = 0,
you cannot access beyond 512T without exceeding qemu's limit of an
8M cap on the refcount table, it is unlikely that any image in the
wild has attempted to do so. To be safe, let's document that bits
beyond 55 in a compressed cluster must be 0.

Section "QGA Synchronization" specifies that sending "a raw 0xFF
sentinel byte" makes the server "reset its state and discard all
pending data prior to the sentinel." What actually happens there is a
lexical error, which will produce one or more error responses.
Moreover, it's not specific to QGA.
Create new section "Forcing the JSON parser into known-good state" to
document the technique properly. Rewrite section "QGA
Synchronization" to document just the other direction, i.e. command
guest-sync-delimited.
Section "Protocol Specification" mentions "synchronization bytes
(documented below)". Delete that.
While there, fix it not to claim '"Server" is QEMU itself', but
'"Server" is either QEMU or the QEMU Guest Agent'.

Commit cf869d53172 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" added a
general mechanism for command-independent arguments just for an
out-of-band flag:
The "control" key is introduced to store this extra flag. "control"
field is used to store arguments that are shared by all the commands,
rather than command specific arguments. Let "run-oob" be the first.
However, it failed to reject unknown members of "control". For
instance, in QMP command
{"execute": "query-name", "id": 42, "control": {"crap": true}}
"crap" gets silently ignored.
Instead of fixing this, revert the general "control" mechanism
(because YAGNI), and do it the way I initially proposed, with key
"exec-oob". Simpler code, simpler interface.
An out-of-band command
{"execute": "migrate-pause", "id": 42, "control": {"run-oob": true}}
becomes
{"exec-oob": "migrate-pause", "id": 42}

Commit cf869d53172 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" made
"id" mandatory for all commands when the client accepted capability
"oob". This is rather onerous when you play with QMP by hand, and
unnecessarily so: only out-of-band commands need an ID for reliable
matching of response to command.
Revert that part of commit cf869d53172 for now, but have documentation
advise on the need to use "id" with out-of-band commands.

OOB documentation is spread over qmp-spec.txt sections 2.2.1
Capabilities and 2.3 Issuing Commands. The amount of detail is a bit
distracting there. Move the meat of the matter to new section 2.3.1
Out of band execution.
Throw in a few other improvements while there:
* 2.2 Server Greeting: Drop advice to search entire capabilities
array; should be obvious.
* 3. QMP Examples
- 3.1 Server Greeting: Update greeting to the one we expect for the
release. Now shows capability "oob". Update qmp-intro.txt
likewise.
- 3.2 Capabilities negotiation: Show client accepting capability
"oob".
- 3.7 Out-of-band execution: New.

Add a schema that describes the different uses and properties of virtual
machine firmware.
Each firmware executable installed on a host system should come with at
least one JSON file that conforms to this schema. Each file informs the
management applications about
- the firmware's properties and one possible use case / feature set,
- configuration bits that are required to run the firmware binary.
In addition, define rules for management apps for picking the highest
priority firmware JSON file when multiple such files match the search
criteria.

Without a dedicated protocol feature, QEMU cannot know whether
the backend can handle VHOST_USER_SET_CONFIG and
VHOST_USER_GET_CONFIG messages.
This patch adds a protocol feature that is only advertised by
QEMU if the device implements the config ops. Vhost user init
fails if the device support the feature but the backend doesn't.
The backend should only send VHOST_USER_SLAVE_CONFIG_CHANGE_MSG
requests if the protocol feature has been negotiated.

We need a better way, but at the moment we need the address of the
mappings sent back to qemu so it can interpret the messages on the
userfaultfd it reads.
This is done as a 3 stage set:
QEMU -> client
set_mem_table
mmap stuff, get addresses
client -> qemu
here are the addresses
qemu -> client
OK - now you can use them
That ensures that qemu has registered the new addresses in it's
userfault code before the client starts accessing them.
Note: We don't ask for the default 'ack' reply since we've got our own.

This patch fixes several mistakes in the documentation of the
compressed cluster descriptor:
1) the documentation claims that the cluster descriptor contains the
number of sectors used to store the compressed data, but what it
actually contains is the number of sectors *minus one* or, in other
words, the number of additional sectors after the first one.
2) the width of the fields is incorrectly specified. The number of bits
used by each field is
x = 62 - (cluster_bits - 8) for the offset field
y = (cluster_bits - 8) for the size field
So the offset field's location is [0, x-1], not [0, x] as stated.
3) the size field does not contain the size of the compressed data,
but rather the number of sectors where that data is stored. The
compressed data starts at the exact point specified in the offset
field and ends when there's enough data to produce a cluster of
decompressed data. Both points can be in the middle of a sector,
allowing several compressed clusters to be stored next to one
another, sharing sectors if necessary.

addresses.
This patch explains how memory access works, including the IOTLB.

When you cancel an in-progress 'mirror' job (or "active `block-commit`")
with QMP `block-job-cancel`, it emits the event: BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED.
However, when `block-job-cancel` is issued *after* `drive-mirror` has
indicated (via the event BLOCK_JOB_READY) that the source and
destination have reached synchronization:
[...] # Snip `drive-mirror` invocation & outputs
{
"execute":"block-job-cancel",
"arguments":{
"device":"virtio0"
}
}
{"return": {}}
It (`block-job-cancel`) will counterintuitively emit the event
'BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED':
{
"timestamp":{
"seconds":1510678024,
"microseconds":526240
},
"event":"BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED",
"data":{
"device":"virtio0",
"len":41126400,
"offset":41126400,
"speed":0,
"type":"mirror"
}
}
But this is expected behaviour, where the _COMPLETED event indicates
that synchronization has successfully ended (and the destination now has
a point-in-time copy, which is at the time of cancel).
So add a small note to this effect in 'block-core.json'. While at it,
also update the "Live disk synchronization -- drive-mirror and
blockdev-mirror" section in 'live-block-operations.rst'.
(Thanks: Max Reitz for reminding me of this caveat on IRC.)

qemu.org enabled HTTPS in 2017 and it should be used instead of HTTP.
There are also URLs to json.org, openvpn.net, and other domains that
support HTTPS.
This patch updates the qemu.org domains everywhere and also third-party
domains that I have checked.

The owner of qemu.org has delegated authority to modify DNS records to
the QEMU Project. This has allowed us to use the domain name without
worries about IP address changes or technical issues disrupting service.
The issues described in commit 859389810910f232188675d2f10b15f1aad77660
("Use qemu-project.org domain name") have therefore been mitigated.
This patch switches back to consistently using qemu.org instead of
qemu-project.org in documentation, version.rc, and the Windows installer
script.
The git submodules and SeaBIOS still use qemu-project.org for the time
being. This will be fixed in the QEMU 2.12 release cycle.

Introduce a privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands.
This lets virtual machines send persistent reservations without using
CAP_SYS_RAWIO or out-of-tree patches. The helper uses Unix permissions
and SCM_RIGHTS to restrict access to processes that can access its socket
and prove that they have an open file descriptor for a raw SCSI device.
The next patch will also correct the usage of persistent reservations
with multipath devices.
It would also be possible to support for Linux's IOC_PR_* ioctls in
the future, to support NVMe devices. For now, however, only SCSI is
supported.

Currently, vhost-user does not implement any means for notifying the
backend about guest endianess. This commit introduces a new message
called VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENDIAN which is analogous to the ioctl()
called VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN used for kernel vhost backends. Such
message is necessary for backends supporting legacy (pre-1.0) virtio
devices running in big-endian guests.

This patch documents (including their QMP invocations) all the four
major kinds of live block operations:
- `block-stream`
- `block-commit`
- `drive-mirror` (& `blockdev-mirror`)
- `drive-backup` (& `blockdev-backup`)
Things considered while writing this document:
- Use reStructuredText as markup language (with the goal of generating
the HTML output using the Sphinx Documentation Generator). It is
gentler on the eye, and can be trivially converted to different
formats. (Another reason: upstream QEMU is considering to switch to
Sphinx, which uses reStructuredText as its markup language.)
- Raw QMP JSON output vs. 'qmp-shell'. I debated with myself whether
to only show raw QMP JSON output (as that is the canonical
representation), or use 'qmp-shell', which takes key-value pairs. I
settled on the approach of: for the first occurrence of a command,
use raw JSON; for subsequent occurrences, use 'qmp-shell', with an
occasional exception.
- Usage of `-blockdev` command-line.
- Usage of 'node-name' vs. file path to refer to disks. While we have
`blockdev-{mirror, backup}` as 'node-name'-alternatives for
`drive-{mirror, backup}`, the `block-commit` command still operates
on file names for parameters 'base' and 'top'. So I added a caveat
at the beginning to that effect.
Refer this related thread that I started (where I learnt
`block-stream` was recently reworked to accept 'node-name' for 'top'
and 'base' parameters):
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-05/msg06466.html
"[RFC] Making 'block-stream', and 'block-commit' accept node-name"
All commands showed in this document were tested while documenting.
Thanks: Eric Blake for the section: "A note on points-in-time vs file
names". This useful bit was originally articulated by Eric in his
KVMForum 2015 presentation, so I included that specific bit in this
document.

This is part of the on-going effort to convert QEMU upstream
documentation syntax to reStructuredText (rST).
The conversion to rST was done using:
$ pandoc -f markdown -t rst bitmaps.md -o bitmaps.rst
Then, make a couple of small syntactical adjustments. While at it,
reword a statement to avoid ambiguity. Addressing the feedback from
this thread:

A bitmap directory entry is sometimes called a 'bitmap header'. This
patch leaves only one name - 'bitmap directory entry'. The name 'bitmap
header' creates misunderstandings with 'qcow2 header' and 'qcow2 bitmap
header extension' (which is extension of qcow2 header)
