2011-07-29showing a splash picture when startwayne1-0/+27
Added options to let qemu transfer two configuration files to bios: "bootsplash.bmp" and "etc/boot-menu-wait", which could be specified by command -boot splash=P,splash-time=T P is jpg/bmp file name or an absolute path, T have a max value of 0xffff, unit is ms. With these two options, if user invoke qemu with menu=on option, then a splash picture would be showed in a given time. For example: qemu -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000 would make boot.bmp shown as a brand with 5 seconds in the booting up process. This feature need the new seabios's support, which could be got from git. Signed-off-by: Wayne Xia <xiawenc@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2011-07-23Generalize -machine command line optionJan Kiszka1-0/+5
-machine somehow suggests that it selects the machine, but it doesn't. Fix that before this command is set in stone. Actually, -machine should supersede -M and allow to introduce arbitrary per-machine options to the command line. That will change the internal realization again, but we will be able to keep the user interface stable.

2011-06-06spice: add SASL supportMarc-André Lureau1-0/+3
Turn on SASL support by appending "sasl" to the spice arguments, which requires that the client use SASL to authenticate with the spice. The exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used to make it search alternate locations for the service config. While some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI), it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and 'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication credentials. It requires support from spice 0.8.1.

2011-05-08Introduce -machine command option.Anthony PERARD1-0/+14
This option gives the ability to switch one "accelerator" like kvm, xen or the default one tcg. We can specify more than one accelerator by separate them by a colon. QEMU will try each one and use the first whose works. So, ./qemu -machine accel=xen:kvm:tcg which would try Xen support first, then KVM and finally TCG if none of the other works. By default, QEMU will use TCG. But we can specify another default in the global configuration file.

2010-05-26Add cache=unsafe parameter to -driveAlexander Graf1-1/+1
Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache. So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe", as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore. This patch also adds a noop function for aio, so we can do nothing in AIO fashion.

2010-03-16qemu-option: Move the implied first name into QemuOptsListMarkus Armbruster1-0/+5
We sometimes permit omitting the first option name, for example -device foo is short for -device driver=foo. The name to use ("driver" in the example) is passed as argument to qemu_opts_parse(). For each QemuOptsList, we use at most one such name. Move the name into QemuOptsList, and pass whether to permit the abbreviation. This ensures continued consistency, and simplifies the commit after next in this series.

New LOC_FILE. Use it for tracking file name and line number in qemu_config_parse().

2010-03-16error: Replace qemu_error() by error_report()Markus Armbruster1-5/+5
error_report() terminates the message with a newline. Strip it it from its arguments. This fixes a few error messages lacking a newline: net_handle_fd_param()'s "No file descriptor named %s found", and tap_open()'s "vnet_hdr=1 requested, but no kernel support for IFF_VNET_HDR available" (all three versions). There's one place that passes arguments without newlines intentionally: load_vmstate(). Fix it up.

2010-02-22Add cpu model configuration support..john cooper1-0/+49
This is a reimplementation of prior versions which adds the ability to define cpu models for contemporary processors. The added models are likewise selected via -cpu <name>, and are intended to displace the existing convention of "-cpu qemu64" augmented with a series of feature flags. A primary motivation was determination of a least common denominator within a given processor class to simplify guest migration. It is still possible to modify an arbitrary model via additional feature flags however the goal here was to make doing so unnecessary in typical usage. The other consideration was providing models names reflective of current processors. Both AMD and Intel have reviewed the models in terms of balancing generality of migration vs. excessive feature downgrade relative to released silicon. This version of the patch replaces the prior hard wired definitions with a configuration file approach for new models. Existing models are thus far left as-is but may easily be transitioned to (or may be overridden by) the configuration file representation. Proposed new model definitions are provided here for current AMD and Intel processors. Each model consists of a name used to select it on the command line (-cpu <name>), and a model_id which corresponds to a least common denominator commercial instance of the processor class. A table of names/model_ids may be queried via "-cpu ?model": : x86 Opteron_G3 AMD Opteron 23xx (Gen 3 Class Opteron) x86 Opteron_G2 AMD Opteron 22xx (Gen 2 Class Opteron) x86 Opteron_G1 AMD Opteron 240 (Gen 1 Class Opteron) x86 Nehalem Intel Core i7 9xx (Nehalem Class Core i7) x86 Penryn Intel Core 2 Duo P9xxx (Penryn Class Core 2) x86 Conroe Intel Celeron_4x0 (Conroe/Merom Class Core 2) : Also added is "-cpu ?dump" which exhaustively outputs all config data for all defined models, and "-cpu ?cpuid" which enumerates all qemu recognized CPUID feature flags. The pseudo cpuid flag 'check' when added to the feature flag list will warn when feature flags (either implicit in a cpu model or explicit on the command line) would have otherwise been quietly unavailable to a guest: # qemu-system-x86_64 ... -cpu Nehalem,check warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'sse4.2|sse4_2' [0x00100000] warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'popcnt' [0x00800000] A similar 'enforce' pseudo flag exists which in addition to the above causes qemu to error exit if requested flags are unavailable. Configuration data for a cpu model resides in the target config file which by default will be installed as: /usr/local/etc/qemu/target-<arch>.conf The format of this file should be self explanatory given the definitions for the above six models and essentially mimics the structure of the static x86_def_t x86_defs. Encoding of cpuid flags names now allows aliases for both the configuration file and the command line which reconciles some Intel/AMD/Linux/Qemu naming differences.

2009-12-12qdev: add command line option to set global defaults for properties.Gerd Hoffmann1-0/+56
This patch adds infrastructure and command line option for setting global defaults for device properties, i.e. you can for example use -global virtio-blk-pci.vectors=0 to turn off msi by default for all virtio block devices. The config file syntax is: [global] driver = "virtio-blk-pci" property = "vectors" value = "0" This can also be used to set properties for devices which are not created via -device but implicitly via machine init, i.e. -global isa-fdc,driveA=<name> This patch uses the mechanism which configures properties for the compatibility machine types (pc-0.10 & friends).

2009-11-09Added readonly flag to -drive commandNaphtali Sprei1-0/+3
This is a slightly revised patch for adding readonly flag to the -drive command. Even though this patch is "stand-alone", it assumes a previous related patch (in Anthony staging tree), that passes the readonly attribute of the drive to the guest OS, applied first. This enables sharing same image between guests, with readonly access. Implementaion mark the drive as read_only and changes the flags when actually opening the file. The readonly attribute of a qcow also passed to it's base file. For ide that cannot pass the readonly attribute to the guest OS, disallow the readonly flag.
