2017-08-02vhost-user: fix legacy cross-endian configurationsFelipe Franciosi1-0/+16
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.

2017-08-01trace: add trace_event_get_state_backends()Stefan Hajnoczi1-1/+1
Code that checks dstate is unaware of SystemTap and LTTng UST dstate, so the following trace event will not fire when solely enabled by SystemTap or LTTng UST: if (trace_event_get_state(TRACE_MY_EVENT)) { str = g_strdup_printf("Expensive string to generate ...", ...); trace_my_event(str); g_free(str); } Add trace_event_get_state_backends() to fetch backend dstate. Those backends that use QEMU dstate fetch it as part of generate_h_backend_dstate(). Update existing trace_event_get_state() callers to use trace_event_get_state_backends() instead.

2017-07-18live-block-ops.txt: Rename, rewrite, and improve itKashyap Chamarthy2-72/+1088
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.

2017-03-16qapi: The #optional tag is redundant, dropMarkus Armbruster2-9/+7
We traditionally mark optional members #optional in the doc comment. Before commit 3313b61, this was entirely manual. Commit 3313b61 added some automation because its qapi2texi.py relied on #optional to determine whether a member is optional. This is no longer the case since the previous commit: the only thing qapi2texi.py still does with #optional is stripping it out. We still reject bogus qapi-schema.json and six places for qga/qapi-schema.json. Thus, you can't actually rely on #optional to see whether something is optional. Yet we still make people add it manually. That's just busy-work. Drop the code to check, fix up and strip out #optional, along with all instances of #optional. To keep it out, add code to reject it, to be dropped again once the dust settles. No change to generated documentation.

Since we added the documentation generator in commit 3313b61, doc comments are mandatory. That's a very good idea for a schema that needs to be documented, but has proven to be annoying for testing. Make doc comments optional again, but add a new directive { 'pragma': { 'doc-required': true } } to let a QAPI schema require them. Add test cases for the new pragma directive. While there, plug a minor hole in includ directive test coverage. Require documentation in the schemas we actually want documented: qapi-schema.json and qga/qapi-schema.json. We could probably make qapi2texi.py cope with incomplete documentation, but for now, simply make it refuse to run unless the schema has 'doc-required': true.

2017-03-01mach-virt: Provide sample configuration filesAndrea Bolognani2-0/+524
These are very much like the sample configuration files for q35, and can be used both as documentation and as a starting point for creating your own guest. Two sample configuration files are provided: * mach-virt-graphical.cfg can be used to start a fully-featured (USB, graphical console, etc.) guest that uses VirtIO devices; * mach-virt-serial.cfg is similar but has a minimal set of devices and uses the serial console. All configuration files are fully commented and neatly organized.

2017-03-01q35: Improve sample configuration filesAndrea Bolognani4-152/+729
Instead of having a single sample configuration file, we now have several: * q35-emulated.cfg documents the default devices QEMU adds to a q35 guest and the additional devices that are pretty much guaranteed to be present in a physical q35-based machine; * q35-virtio-graphical.cfg can be used to start a fully-featured (USB, graphical console, audio, etc.) guest that uses VirtIO instead of emulated devices; * q35-virtio-serial.cfg is similar but has a minimal set of devices and uses the serial console.
