2018-08-16docs: add guidance on configuring CPU models for x86Daniel P. Berrangé1-0/+484
With the recent set of CPU hardware vulnerabilities on x86, it is increasingly difficult to understand which CPU configurations are good to use and what flaws they might be vulnerable to. This doc attempts to help management applications and administrators in picking sensible CPU configuration on x86 hosts. It outlines which of the named CPU models are good choices, and describes which extra CPU flags should be enabled to allow the guest to mitigate hardware flaws. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2018-08-10hostmem-file: add the 'pmem' optionJunyan He1-0/+22
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.

2018-07-03qmp: Redo how the client requests out-of-band executionMarkus Armbruster2-16/+12
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} Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20180703085358.13941-13-armbru@redhat.com> [Commit message typo fixed]

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.

2018-06-22qapi: allow empty branches in flat unionsAnton Nefedov1-3/+5
It often happens that just a few discriminator values imply extra data in a flat union. Existing checks did not make possible to leave other values uncovered. Such cases had to be worked around by either stating a dummy (empty) type or introducing another (subset) discriminator enumeration. Both options create redundant entities in qapi files for little profit. With this patch it is not necessary anymore to add designated union fields for every possible value of a discriminator enumeration.

2018-06-15tcg: remove tb_lockEmilio G. Cota1-4/+7
Use mmap_lock in user-mode to protect TCG state and the page descriptors. In !user-mode, each vCPU has its own TCG state, so no locks needed. Per-page locks are used to protect the page descriptors. Per-TB locks are used in both modes to protect TB jumps. Some notes: - tb_lock is removed from notdirty_mem_write by passing a locked page_collection to tb_invalidate_phys_page_fast. - tcg_tb_lookup/remove/insert/etc have their own internal lock(s), so there is no need to further serialize access to them. - do_tb_flush is run in a safe async context, meaning no other vCPU threads are running. Therefore acquiring mmap_lock there is just to please tools such as thread sanitizer. - Not visible in the diff, but tb_invalidate_phys_page already has an assert_memory_lock. - cpu_io_recompile is !user-only, so no mmap_lock there. - Added mmap_unlock()'s before all siglongjmp's that could be called in user-mode while mmap_lock is held. + Added an assert for !have_mmap_lock() after returning from the longjmp in cpu_exec, just like we do in cpu_exec_step_atomic.

2018-06-15translate-all: protect TB jumps with a per-destination-TB lockEmilio G. Cota1-2/+4
This applies to both user-mode and !user-mode emulation. Instead of relying on a global lock, protect the list of incoming jumps with tb->jmp_lock. This lock also protects tb->cflags, so update all tb->cflags readers outside tb->jmp_lock to use atomic reads via tb_cflags(). In order to find the destination TB (and therefore its jmp_lock) from the origin TB, we introduce tb->jmp_dest[]. I considered not using a linked list of jumps, which simplifies code and makes the struct smaller. However, it unnecessarily increases memory usage, which results in a performance decrease. See for instance these numbers booting+shutting down debian-arm: Time (s) Rel. err (%) Abs. err (s) Rel. slowdown (%) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ before 20.88 0.74 0.154512 0. after 20.81 0.38 0.079078 -0.33524904 GTree 21.02 0.28 0.058856 0.67049808 GHashTable + xxhash 21.63 1.08 0.233604 3.5919540 Using a hash table or a binary tree to keep track of the jumps doesn't really pay off, not only due to the increased memory usage, but also because most TBs have only 0 or 1 jumps to them. The maximum number of jumps when booting debian-arm that I measured is 35, but as we can see in the histogram below a TB with that many incoming jumps is extremely rare; the average TB has 0.80 incoming jumps. n_jumps: 379208; avg jumps/tb: 0.801099 dist: [0.0,1.0)|▄█▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▁▁▁▁▁▁ ▁▁▁ ▁▁▁ ▁|[34.0,35.0] Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Emilio G.

2018-06-15bswap: Add new stn_*_p() and ldn_*_p() memory access functionsPeter Maydell1-0/+15
There's a common pattern in QEMU where a function needs to perform a data load or store of an N byte integer in a particular endianness. At the moment this is handled by doing a switch() on the size and calling the appropriate ld*_p or st*_p function for each size. Provide a new family of functions ldn_*_p() and stn_*_p() which take the size as an argument and do the switch() themselves.

2018-05-30qapi: introduce new cmd option "allow-preconfig"Igor Mammedov1-1/+10
New option will be used to allow commands, which are prepared/need to run, during preconfig state. Other commands that should be able to run in preconfig state, should be amended to not expect machine in initialized state or deal with it. For compatibility reasons, commands that don't use new flag 'allow-preconfig' explicitly are not permitted to run in preconfig state but allowed in all other states like they used to be. Within this patch allow following commands in preconfig state: qmp_capabilities query-qmp-schema query-commands query-command-line-options query-status exit-preconfig to allow qmp connection, basic introspection and moving to the next state. PS: set-numa-node and query-hotpluggable-cpus will be enabled later in a separate patches.
