2016-01-15qemu-char: add logfile facility to all chardev backendsDaniel P. Berrange1-20/+28
Typically a UNIX guest OS will log boot messages to a serial port in addition to any graphical console. An admin user may also wish to use the serial port for an interactive console. A virtualization management system may wish to collect system boot messages by logging the serial port, but also wish to allow admins interactive access. Currently providing such a feature forces the mgmt app to either provide 2 separate serial ports, one for logging boot messages and one for interactive console login, or to proxy all output via a separate service that can multiplex the two needs onto one serial port. While both are valid approaches, they each have their own downsides. The former causes confusion and extra setup work for VM admins creating disk images. The latter places an extra burden to re-implement much of the QEMU chardev backends logic in libvirt or even higher level mgmt apps and adds extra hops in the data transfer path. A simpler approach that is satisfactory for many use cases is to allow the QEMU chardev backends to have a "logfile" property associated with them. $QEMU -chardev socket,host=localhost,port=9000,\ server=on,nowait,id-charserial0,\ logfile=/var/log/libvirt/qemu/test-serial0.log -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 This patch introduces a 'ChardevCommon' struct which is setup as a base for all the ChardevBackend types. Ideally this would be registered directly as a base against ChardevBackend, rather than each type, but the QAPI generator doesn't allow that since the ChardevBackend is a non-discriminated union. The ChardevCommon struct provides the optional 'logfile' parameter, as well as 'logappend' which controls whether QEMU truncates or appends (default truncate). Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2015-12-22nvdimm acpi: build ACPI NFIT tableXiao Guangrong1-1/+4
NFIT is defined in ACPI 6.0: 5.2.25 NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) Currently, we only support PMEM mode. Each device has 3 structures: - SPA structure, defines the PMEM region info - MEM DEV structure, it has the @handle which is used to associate specified ACPI NVDIMM device we will introduce in later patch. Also we can happily ignored the memory device's interleave, the real nvdimm hardware access is hidden behind host - DCR structure, it defines vendor ID used to associate specified vendor nvdimm driver. Since we only implement PMEM mode this time, Command window and Data window are not needed The NVDIMM functionality is controlled by the parameter, 'nvdimm', which is introduced for the machine, there is a example to enable it: -machine pc,nvdimm -m 8G,maxmem=100G,slots=100 -object \ memory-backend-file,id=mem1,share,mem-path=/tmp/nvdimm1,size=10G -device \ nvdimm,memdev=mem1,id=nv1 It is disabled on default Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <guangrong.xiao@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.

Make use of the QCryptoSecret object to support loading of encrypted x509 keys. The optional 'passwordid' parameter to the tls-creds-x509 object type, provides the ID of a secret object instance that holds the decryption password for the PEM file. # printf "123456" > mypasswd.txt # $QEMU \ -object secret,id=sec0,filename=mypasswd.txt \ -object tls-creds-x509,passwordid=sec0,id=creds0,\ dir=/home/berrange/.pki/qemu,endpoint=server \ -vnc :1,tls-creds=creds0 This requires QEMU to be linked to GNUTLS >= 3.1.11.

2015-12-18crypto: add QCryptoSecret object class for password/key handlingDaniel P. Berrange1-0/+77
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) $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein Providing data indirectly in raw format printf "letmein" > mypasswd.txt $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. Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>

2015-09-24vhost-user: add multiple queue supportChangchun Ouyang1-2/+3
This patch is initially based a patch from Nikolay Nikolaev. This patch adds vhost-user multiple queue support, by creating a nc and vhost_net pair for each queue. Qemu exits if find that the backend can't support the number of requested queues (by providing queues=# option). The max number is queried by a new message, VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM, and is sent only when protocol feature VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ is present first. The max queue check is done at vhost-user initiation stage. We initiate one queue first, which, in the meantime, also gets the max_queues the backend supports. In older version, it was reported that some messages are sent more times than necessary. Here we came an agreement with Michael that we could categorize vhost user messages to 2 types: non-vring specific messages, which should be sent only once, and vring specific messages, which should be sent per queue. Here I introduced a helper function vhost_user_one_time_request(), which lists following messages as non-vring specific messages: VHOST_USER_SET_OWNER VHOST_USER_RESET_DEVICE VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM For above messages, we simply ignore them when they are not sent the first time.

2015-09-15ui: convert VNC server to use QCryptoTLSSessionDaniel P. Berrange1-2/+26
Switch VNC server over to using the QCryptoTLSSession object for the TLS session. This removes the direct use of gnutls from the VNC server code. It also removes most knowledge about TLS certificate handling from the VNC server code. This has the nice effect that all the CONFIG_VNC_TLS conditionals go away and the user gets an actual error message when requesting TLS instead of it being silently ignored. With this change, the existing configuration options for enabling TLS with -vnc are deprecated. Old syntax for anon-DH credentials: -vnc hostname:0,tls New syntax: -object tls-creds-anon,id=tls0,endpoint=server \ -vnc hostname:0,tls-creds=tls0 Old syntax for x509 credentials, no client certs: -vnc hostname:0,tls,x509=/path/to/certs New syntax: -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/path/to/certs,endpoint=server,verify-peer=no \ -vnc hostname:0,tls-creds=tls0 Old syntax for x509 credentials, requiring client certs: -vnc hostname:0,tls,x509verify=/path/to/certs New syntax: -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/path/to/certs,endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \ -vnc hostname:0,tls-creds=tls0 This aligns VNC with the way TLS credentials are to be configured in the future for chardev, nbd and migration backends. It also has the benefit that the same TLS credentials can be shared across multiple VNC server instances, if desired. If someone uses the deprecated syntax, it will internally result in the creation of a 'tls-creds' object with an ID based on the VNC server ID. This allows backwards compat with the CLI syntax, while still deleting all the original TLS code from the VNC server. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>

If a timeout occurs a reconnect is scheduled and the timed out command will be requeued for processing after a successful reconnect. The required API call iscsi_set_timeout is present since libiscsi 1.10 which was released in October 2013. However, due to some bugs in the libiscsi code the use is not recommended before version 1.15. Please note that this patch bumps the libiscsi requirement to 1.10 to have all function and macros defined.

Add new "arg" sub-argument to the --semihosting-config allowing the user to pass multiple input arguments separately. It is required for example by UHI semihosting to construct argc and argv. Also, update ARM semihosting to support new option (at the moment it is the only target which cares about arguments). If the semihosting is enabled and no semihosting args have been specified, then fall back to -kernel/-append. The -append string is split on whitespace before initializing semihosting.argv[1..n]; this is different from what QEMU MIPS machines' pseudo-bootloaders do (i.e. argv[1] contains the whole -append), but is more intuitive from UHI user's point of view and Linux kernel just does not care as it concatenates argv[1..n] into single cmdline string anyway.

Since fw_cfg_add_file() already disallows duplicate fw_cfg file names, qemu will exit with an error message if the user supplies multiple blobs with the same fw_cfg file name, or if a blob name collides with a fw_cfg name programmatically added from within the QEMU source code. A warning message will be printed if the fw_cfg item name does not begin with the prefix "opt/", which is recommended for external, user provided blobs.

2015-06-08machine: Drop use of DEFAULT_RAM_SIZE in help textAlexander Graf1-2/+1
As of commit 076b35b5a (machine: add default_ram_size to machine class) we no longer have a global default ram size, but instead machine specific defaults. When invoking qemu --help we don't know which machine you selected, so we can't tell the user the default RAM size in the help text anymore now. Thus I don't see an easy way to expose the default ram size to the user in the help text. The easiest option IMHO is to just drop this piece of information.

2015-06-05vl: allow full-blown QemuOpts syntax for -globalPaolo Bonzini1-1/+6
-global does not work for drivers that have a dot in their name, such as cfi.pflash01. This is just a parsing limitation, because such globals can be declared easily inside a -readconfig file. To allow this usage, support the full QemuOpts key/value syntax for -global too, for example "-global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on". The two formats do not conflict, because the key/value syntax does not have a period before the first equal sign. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2015-05-27net: Change help text to list -netdev instead of -net by defaultThomas Huth1-32/+45
Looking at the output of "qemu-system-xxx -help", you easily get the impression that "-net" is the preferred way instead of "-netdev" to specify host network interface, since the "-net" option is omnipresent but the "-netdev" option is only listed as a one-liner at the end. This is ugly since "-net" is considered as legacy and even might be removed one day. Thus, this patch switches the output to explain the host network interfaces with the "-netdev" option instead, moving the old "-net" option into some few lines at the end.
