Even though a LUKS header might be created with cryptsetup,
qemu-img should be enhanced to accommodate it as well.
Add the 'detached-header' option to specify the creation of
a detached LUKS header. This is how it is used:
$ qemu-img create --object secret,id=sec0,data=abc123 -f luks
> -o cipher-alg=aes-256,cipher-mode=xts -o key-secret=sec0
> -o detached-header=true header.luks
Using qemu-img or cryptsetup tools to query information of
an LUKS header image as follows:
Assume a detached LUKS header image has been created by:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test-header.img bs=1M count=32
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test-payload.img bs=1M count=1000
$ cryptsetup luksFormat --header test-header.img test-payload.img
> --force-password --type luks1
Header image information could be queried using cryptsetup:
$ cryptsetup luksDump test-header.img
or qemu-img:
$ qemu-img info 'json:{"driver":"luks","file":{"filename":
> "test-payload.img"},"header":{"filename":"test-header.img"}}'
When using qemu-img, keep in mind that the entire disk
information specified by the JSON-format string above must be
supplied on the commandline; if not, an overlay check will reveal
a problem with the LUKS volume check logic.

Currently the crypto layer exposes support for a 'des-rfb'
algorithm which is just normal single-DES, with the bits
in each key byte reversed. This special key munging is
required by the RFB protocol password authentication
mechanism.
Since the crypto layer is generic shared code, it makes
more sense to do the key byte munging in the VNC server
code, and expose normal single-DES support.
Replacing cipher 'des-rfb' by 'des' looks like an incompatible
interface change, but it doesn't matter. While the QMP schema
allows any QCryptoCipherAlgorithm for the 'cipher-alg' field
in QCryptoBlockCreateOptionsLUKS, the code restricts what can
be used at runtime. Thus the only effect is a change in error
message.
Original behaviour:
$ qemu-img create -f luks --object secret,id=sec0,data=123 -o cipher-alg=des-rfb,key-secret=sec0 demo.luks 1G
Formatting 'demo.luks', fmt=luks size=1073741824 key-secret=sec0 cipher-alg=des-rfb
qemu-img: demo.luks: Algorithm 'des-rfb' not supported
New behaviour:
$ qemu-img create -f luks --object secret,id=sec0,data=123 -o cipher-alg=des-rfb,key-secret=sec0 demo.luks 1G
Formatting 'demo.luks', fmt=luks size=1073741824 key-secret=sec0 cipher-alg=des-fish

This adds a QAPI schema for the properties of the tls-* objects.
The 'loaded' property doesn't seem to make sense as an external
interface: It is automatically set to true in ucc->complete, and
explicitly setting it to true earlier just means that additional options
will be silently ignored.
In other words, the 'loaded' property is useless. Mark it as deprecated
in the schema from the start.

The various schemas included in QEMU use a JSON-based format which
is, however, strictly speaking not valid JSON.
As a consequence, when vim tries to apply syntax highlight rules
for JSON (as guessed from the file name), the result is an unreadable
mess which mostly consist of red markers pointing out supposed errors
in, well, pretty much everything.
Using Python syntax highlighting produces much better results, and
in fact these files already start with specially-formatted comments
that instruct Emacs to process them as if they were Python files.
This commit adds the equivalent special comments for vim.

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.

As protection against bruteforcing passphrases, the PBKDF
algorithm is tuned by counting the number of iterations
needed to produce 1 second of running time. If the machine
that the image will be used on is much faster than the
machine where the image is created, it can be desirable
to raise the number of iterations. This change adds a new
'iter-time' property that allows the user to choose the

Introduce a new QCryptoSecret object class which will be used
for providing passwords and keys to other objects which need
sensitive credentials.
The new object can provide secret values directly as properties,
or indirectly via a file. The latter includes support for file
descriptor passing syntax on UNIX platforms. Ordinarily passing
secret values directly as properties is insecure, since they
are visible in process listings, or in log files showing the
CLI args / QMP commands. It is possible to use AES-256-CBC to
encrypt the secret values though, in which case all that is
visible is the ciphertext. For ad hoc developer testing though,
it is fine to provide the secrets directly without encryption
so this is not explicitly forbidden.
The anticipated scenario is that libvirtd will create a random
master key per QEMU instance (eg /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$VMNAME.key)
and will use that key to encrypt all passwords it provides to
QEMU via '-object secret,....'. This avoids the need for libvirt
(or other mgmt apps) to worry about file descriptor passing.
It also makes life easier for people who are scripting the
management of QEMU, for whom FD passing is significantly more
complex.
Providing data inline (insecure, only for ad hoc dev testing)

Providing data indirectly in raw format

$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt
Providing data indirectly in base64 format
$QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64
Providing data with encryption
$QEMU -object secret,id=master0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64 \
-object secret,id=sec0,data=[base64 ciphertext],\
keyid=master0,iv=[base64 IV],format=base64
Note that 'format' here refers to the format of the ciphertext
data. The decrypted data must always be in raw byte format.
More examples are shown in the updated docs.

Introduce a QCryptoTLSCreds class to act as the base class for
storing TLS credentials. This will be later subclassed to provide
handling of anonymous and x509 credential types. The subclasses
will be user creatable objects, so instances can be created &
deleted via 'object-add' and 'object-del' QMP commands respectively,
or via the -object command line arg.
If the credentials cannot be initialized an error will be reported
as a QMP reply, or on stderr respectively.
The idea is to make it possible to represent and manage TLS
credentials independently of the network service that is using
them. This will enable multiple services to use the same set of
credentials and minimize code duplication. A later patch will
convert the current VNC server TLS code over to use this object.
The representation of credentials will be functionally equivalent
to that currently implemented in the VNC server with one exception.
The new code has the ability to (optionally) load a pre-generated
set of diffie-hellman parameters, if the file dh-params.pem exists,
whereas the current VNC server will always generate them on startup.
This is beneficial for admins who wish to avoid the (small) time
sink of generating DH parameters at startup and/or avoid depleting
entropy.
