2018-11-19qcow2: Document some maximum size constraintsEric Blake1-2/+36
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. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

Add a new flag to mark memory region that are used as non-volatile, by NVDIMM for example. That bit is propagated down to the flat view, and reflected in HMP info mtree with a "nv-" prefix on the memory type. This way, guest_phys_blocks_region_add() can skip the NV memory regions for dumps and TCG memory clear in a following patch.

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 Bloch1-5/+10
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.

2018-08-28qapi: Add comments to aid debugging generated introspectionEric Blake1-0/+3
We consciously chose in commit 1a9a507b to hide QAPI type names from the introspection output on the wire, but added a command line option -u to unmask the type name when doing a debug build. The unmask option still remains useful to some other forms of automated analysis, so it will not be removed; however, when it is not in use, the generated .c file can be hard to read. At the time when we first introduced masking, the generated file consisted only of a monolithic C string, so there was no clean way to inject any comments. Later, in commit 7d0f982b, we switched the generation to output a QLit object, in part to make it easier for future addition of conditional compilation. In fact, commit d626b6c1 took advantage of this by passing a tuple instead of a bare object for encoding the output of conditionals. By extending that tuple, we can now interject strategic comments. For now, type name debug aid comments are only output once per meta-type, rather than at all uses of the number used to encode the type within the introspection data. But this is still a lot more convenient than having to regenerate the file with the unmask operation temporarily turned on - merely search the generated file for '"NNN" =' to learn the corresponding source name and associated definition of type NNN.

The generated qapi_event_send_FOO() take an Error ** argument. They can't actually fail, because all they do with the argument is passing it to functions that can't fail: the QObject output visitor, and the @qmp_emit callback, which is either monitor_qapi_event_queue() or event_test_emit(). Drop the argument, and pass &error_abort to the QObject output visitor and @qmp_emit instead.

2018-08-24docs/interop/qmp-spec: How to force known good parser stateMarkus Armbruster1-14/+28
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'.

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.
