2017-12-14s390x: deprecate s390-squash-mcss machine propHalil Pasic1-0/+8
With the cssids unrestricted (commit "s390x/css: unrestrict cssids") the s390-squash-mcss machine property should not be used. Actually Libvirt never supported this, so the expectation is that removing it should be pretty painless. But let's play nice and deprecate it first.

2017-12-14hmp-commands: Remove the deprecated usb_add and usb_delThomas Huth1-8/+0
It's easy to use device_add and device_del as replacement instead. The usb_add and usb_del commands are deprecated since QEMU 2.10, and nobody complained that they are still needed, so let's get rid of them now to make the HMP interface a little bit less overloaded.

2017-08-01docs: document deprecation policy & deprecated features in appendixDaniel P. Berrange1-0/+175
The deprecation of features in QEMU is totally adhoc currently, with no way for the user to get a list of what is deprecated in each release. This adds an appendix to the doc that records when each deprecation was made and provides text explaining what to use instead, if anything. Since there has been no formal policy around removal of deprecated features in the past, any deprecations prior to 2.10.0 are to be treated as if they had been made at the 2.10.0 release. Thus the earliest that existing deprecations will be deleted is the start of the 2.12.0 cycle. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

Since commit 3f2ce724f1f1 ("Move the qemu-ga description into a separate chapter"), the qemu.1 man page looks pretty much screwed up, e.g. the title was "qemu-ga - QEMU Guest Agent" instead of "qemu-doc - QEMU Emulator User Documentation". However, that movement of the gemu-ga chapter is not the real problem, it just triggered another bug in the qemu-doc.texi: There are some parts in the file which introduce a "@c man begin OPTIONS" section, but never close it again with "@c man end". After adding the proper end tags here, the title of the man page is right again and the previously wrongly tagged sections now also show up correctly in the man page, too.

RFC 6331 documents a number of serious security weaknesses in the SASL DIGEST-MD5 mechanism. As such, QEMU should not be using or recommending it as a default mechanism for VNC auth with SASL. GSSAPI (Kerberos) is the only other viable SASL mechanism that can provide secure session encryption so enable that by defalt as the replacement. If users have TLS enabled for VNC, they can optionally decide to use SCRAM-SHA-1 instead of GSSAPI, allowing plain username and password auth.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Require master to have ID zeroMarkus Armbruster1-0/+5
Migration with ivshmem needs to be carefully orchestrated to work. Exactly one peer (the "master") migrates to the destination, all other peers need to unplug (and disconnect), migrate, plug back (and reconnect). This is sort of documented in qemu-doc. If peers connect on the destination before migration completes, the shared memory can get messed up. This isn't documented anywhere. Fix that in qemu-doc. To avoid messing up register IVPosition on migration, the server must assign the same ID on source and destination. ivshmem-spec.txt leaves ID assignment unspecified, however. Amend ivshmem-spec.txt to require the first client to receive ID zero. The example ivshmem-server complies: it always assigns the first unused ID. For a bit of additional safety, enforce ID zero for the master. This does nothing when we're not using a server, because the ID is zero for all peers then.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Split ivshmem-plain, ivshmem-doorbell off ivshmemMarkus Armbruster1-15/+18
ivshmem can be configured with and without interrupt capability (a.k.a. "doorbell"). The two configurations have largely disjoint options, which makes for a confusing (and badly checked) user interface. Moreover, the device can't tell the guest whether its doorbell is enabled. Create two new device models ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, and deprecate the old one. Changes from ivshmem: * PCI revision is 1 instead of 0. The new revision is fully backwards compatible for guests. Guests may elect to require at least revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny "no shared memory, yet" state. * Property "role" replaced by "master". role=master becomes master=on, role=peer becomes master=off. Default is off instead of auto. * Property "use64" is gone. The new devices always have 64 bit BARs. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-plain: * The Interrupt Pin register in PCI config space is zero (does not use an interrupt pin) instead of one (uses INTA). * Property "x-memdev" is renamed to "memdev". * Properties "shm" and "size" are gone. Use property "memdev" instead. * Property "msi" is gone. The new device can't have MSI-X capability. It can't interrupt anyway. * Properties "ioeventfd" and "vectors" are gone. They're meaningless without interrupts anyway. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell: * Property "msi" is gone. The new device always has MSI-X capability. * Property "ioeventfd" defaults to on instead of off. * Property "size" is gone. The new device can only map all the shared memory received from the server. Guests can easily find out whether the device is configured for interrupts by checking for MSI-X capability. Note: some code added in sub-optimal places to make the diff easier to review. The next commit will move it to more sensible places.

The device's guest interface and its QEMU user interface are flawed^Whotly debated. We'll resolve that in the next development cycle, probably by deprecating the device in favour of a cleaned up, but not quite compatible revision. To avoid adding more baggage to the soon-to-be-deprecated interface, mark property "memdev" as experimental, by renaming it to "x-memdev". It's the only recent user interface change.

2015-11-25qemu-doc: Fix ivshmem usage example with shm=...Markus Armbruster1-1/+1
The example suggests you can omit "shm". This isn't true; you must specify exactly one of "shm", "chardev", "memdev". Fix it.

2015-11-04backends/hostmem-file: Allow to specify full pathname for backing filePavel Fedin1-1/+1
This allows to explicitly specify file name to use with the backend. This is important when using it together with ivshmem in order to make it backed by hugetlbfs. By default filename is autogenerated using mkstemp(), and the file is unlink()ed after creation, effectively making it anonymous. This is not very useful with ivshmem because it ends up in a memory which cannot be accessed by something else. Distinction between directory and file name is done by stat() check. If an existing directory is given, the code keeps old behavior. Otherwise it creates or opens a file with the given pathname.

2015-09-16monitor: added generation of documentation for hmp-commands-info.hxPavel Butsykin1-0/+2
It will be easier if you need to add info-commands to edit only hmp-commands-info.hx, before this had to edit monitor.c and hmp-commands.hx. From the build point of view all documentation is saved into qemu-monitor-info.texi which from now on is used for all user documentation building.
