13 dayshostmem: add a new memory backend based on POSIX shm_open()Stefano Garzarella1-0/+16
shm_open() creates and opens a new POSIX shared memory object. A POSIX shared memory object allows creating memory backend with an associated file descriptor that can be shared with external processes (e.g. vhost-user). The new `memory-backend-shm` can be used as an alternative when `memory-backend-memfd` is not available (Linux only), since shm_open() should be provided by any POSIX-compliant operating system. This backend mimics memfd, allocating memory that is practically anonymous. In theory shm_open() requires a name, but this is allocated for a short time interval and shm_unlink() is called right after shm_open(). After that, only fd is shared with external processes (e.g., vhost-user) as if it were associated with anonymous memory. In the future we may also allow the user to specify the name to be passed to shm_open(), but for now we keep the backend simple, mimicking anonymous memory such as memfd.

2024-05-22hw/i386/pc: Support smp.modules for x86 PC machineZhao Liu1-8/+10
As module-level topology support is added to X86CPU, now we can enable the support for the modules parameter on PC machines. With this support, we can define a 5-level x86 CPU topology with "-smp": -smp cpus=*,maxcpus=*,sockets=*,dies=*,modules=*,cores=*,threads=*. So, add the 5-level topology example in description of "-smp". Additionally, add the missed drawers and books options in previous example.

2024-05-10qemu-options: Deprecate "-runas" and introduce "-run-with user=..." insteadThomas Huth1-4/+11
The old "-runas" option has the disadvantage that it is not visible in the QAPI schema, so it is not available via the normal introspection mechanisms. We've recently introduced the "-run-with" option for exactly this purpose, which is meant to handle the options that affect the runtime behavior. Thus let's introduce a "user=..." parameter here now and deprecate the old "-runas" option.

Before v2.12, the implementation of serial ports was limited to a value of MAX_SERIAL_PORTS = 4. We now dynamically allocate the data structures for serial ports, so this limit is no longer present, but the documentation for the -serial options still reads: "This option can be used several times to simulate up to 4 serial ports." Update to "This option can be used several times to simulate multiple serial ports." to avoid misleading.

2024-02-02doc/sphinx/hxtool.py: add optional label argument to SRST directiveDavid Woodhouse1-1/+1
We can't just embed labels directly into files like qemu-options.hx which are included from multiple top-level rST files, because Sphinx sees the labels as duplicate: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/9707 So add an optional argument to the SRST directive which causes a label of the form '.. _DOCNAME-HXFILE-LABEL:' to be emitted, where 'DOCNAME' is the name of the top level rST file, 'HXFILE' is the filename of the .hx file, and 'LABEL' is the text provided within the 'SRST()' directive. Using the DOCNAME of the top-level rST document means that it is unique even when the .hx file is included from two different documents, as is the case for qemu-options.hx Now where the Xen PV documentation refers to the documentation for the -initrd command line option, it can emit a link directly to it as '<system/invocation-qemu-options-initrd>'.

Extend the migration URI to support file:<filename>. This can be used for any migration scenario that does not require a reverse path. It can be used as an alternative to 'exec:cat > file' in minimized containers that do not contain /bin/sh, and it is easier to use than the fd:<fdname> URI. It can be used in HMP commands, and as a qemu command-line parameter. For best performance, guest ram should be shared and x-ignore-shared should be true, so guest pages are not written to the file, in which case the guest may remain running. If ram is not so configured, then the user is advised to stop the guest first. Otherwise, a busy guest may re-dirty the same page, causing it to be appended to the file multiple times, and the file may grow unboundedly. That issue is being addressed in the "fixed-ram" patch series.

These have been deprecated for a long time, and the introduction of -audio in 7.1.0 has cemented the new way of specifying an audio backend's parameters. However, there is still a need for simple configuration of the audio backend in the desktop case; therefore, if no audiodev is passed to audio_init(), go through a bunch of simple Audiodev* structures and pick the first that can be initialized successfully. The only QEMU_AUDIO_* option that is left in, waiting for a better idea, is QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none which is used by qtest. Remove all the parsing code, including the concept of "can_be_default" audio drivers: now that audio_prio_list[] is only used in a single place, wav can be excluded directly in that function.

2023-09-19backends/hostmem-file: Add "rom" property to support VM templating with R/O ↵David Hildenbrand1-1/+15
files For now, "share=off,readonly=on" would always result in us opening the file R/O and mmap'ing the opened file MAP_PRIVATE R/O -- effectively turning it into ROM. Especially for VM templating, "share=off" is a common use case. However, that use case is impossible with files that lack write permissions, because "share=off,readonly=on" will not give us writable RAM. The sole user of ROM via memory-backend-file are R/O NVDIMMs, but as we have users (Kata Containers) that rely on the existing behavior -- malicious VMs should not be able to consume COW memory for R/O NVDIMMs -- we cannot change the semantics of "share=off,readonly=on" So let's add a new "rom" property with on/off/auto values. "auto" is the default and what most people will use: for historical reasons, to not change the old semantics, it defaults to the value of the "readonly" property. For VM templating, one can now use: -object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=on,rom=off,... But we'll disallow: -object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=on,rom=off,... because we would otherwise get an error when trying to mmap the R/O file shared and writable. An explicit error message is cleaner. We will also disallow for now: -object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=off,rom=on,... -object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=off,rom=on,... It's not harmful, but also not really required for now. Alternatives that were abandoned: * Make "unarmed=on" for the NVDIMM set the memory region container readonly. We would still see a change of ROM->RAM and possibly run into memslot limits with vhost-user. Further, there might be use cases for "unarmed=on" that should still allow writing to that memory (temporary files, system RAM, ...). * Add a new "readonly=on/off/auto" parameter for NVDIMMs. Similar issues as with "unarmed=on". * Make "readonly" consume "on/off/file" instead of being a 'bool' type. This would slightly changes the behavior of the "readonly" parameter: values like true/false (as accepted by a 'bool'type) would no longer be accepted.

2023-09-18net: add initial support for AF_XDP network backendIlya Maximets1-1/+69
AF_XDP is a network socket family that allows communication directly with the network device driver in the kernel, bypassing most or all of the kernel networking stack. In the essence, the technology is pretty similar to netmap. But, unlike netmap, AF_XDP is Linux-native and works with any network interfaces without driver modifications. Unlike vhost-based backends (kernel, user, vdpa), AF_XDP doesn't require access to character devices or unix sockets. Only access to the network interface itself is necessary. This patch implements a network backend that communicates with the kernel by creating an AF_XDP socket. A chunk of userspace memory is shared between QEMU and the host kernel. 4 ring buffers (Tx, Rx, Fill and Completion) are placed in that memory along with a pool of memory buffers for the packet data. Data transmission is done by allocating one of the buffers, copying packet data into it and placing the pointer into Tx ring. After transmission, device will return the buffer via Completion ring. On Rx, device will take a buffer form a pre-populated Fill ring, write the packet data into it and place the buffer into Rx ring. AF_XDP network backend takes on the communication with the host kernel and the network interface and forwards packets to/from the peer device in QEMU. Usage example: -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=guest1,mac=00:16:35:AF:AA:5C -netdev af-xdp,ifname=ens6f1np1,id=guest1,mode=native,queues=1 XDP program bridges the socket with a network interface. It can be attached to the interface in 2 different modes: 1. skb - this mode should work for any interface and doesn't require driver support. With a caveat of lower performance. 2. native - this does require support from the driver and allows to bypass skb allocation in the kernel and potentially use zero-copy while getting packets in/out userspace. By default, QEMU will try to use native mode and fall back to skb. Mode can be forced via 'mode' option. To force 'copy' even in native mode, use 'force-copy=on' option. This might be useful if there is some issue with the driver. Option 'queues=N' allows to specify how many device queues should be open. Note that all the queues that are not open are still functional and can receive traffic, but it will not be delivered to QEMU. So, the number of device queues should generally match the QEMU configuration, unless the device is shared with something else and the traffic re-direction to appropriate queues is correctly configured on a device level (e.g. with ethtool -N). 'start-queue=M' option can be used to specify from which queue id QEMU should start configuring 'N' queues. It might also be necessary to use this option with certain NICs, e.g. MLX5 NICs. See the docs for examples. In a general case QEMU will need CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_BPF capabilities in order to load default XSK/XDP programs to the network interface and configure BPF maps. It is possible, however, to run with no capabilities. For that to work, an external process with enough capabilities will need to pre-load default XSK program, create AF_XDP sockets and pass their file descriptors to QEMU process on startup via 'sock-fds' option. Network backend will need to be configured with 'inhibit=on' to avoid loading of the program. QEMU will need 32 MB of locked memory (RLIMIT_MEMLOCK) per queue or CAP_IPC_LOCK. There are few performance challenges with the current network backends. First is that they do not support IO threads. This means that data path is handled by the main thread in QEMU and may slow down other work or may be slowed down by some other work. This also means that taking advantage of multi-queue is generally not possible today. Another thing is that data path is going through the device emulation code, which is not really optimized for performance. The fastest "frontend" device is virtio-net. But it's not optimized for heavy traffic either, because it expects such use-cases to be handled via some implementation of vhost (user, kernel, vdpa). In practice, we have virtio notifications and rcu lock/unlock on a per-packet basis and not very efficient accesses to the guest memory. Communication channels between backend and frontend devices do not allow passing more than one packet at a time as well. Some of these challenges can be avoided in the future by adding better batching into device emulation or by implementing vhost-af-xdp variant. There are also a few kernel limitations. AF_XDP sockets do not support any kinds of checksum or segmentation offloading. Buffers are limited to a page size (4K), i.e. MTU is limited. Multi-buffer support implementation for AF_XDP is in progress, but not ready yet. Also, transmission in all non-zero-copy modes is synchronous, i.e. done in a syscall. That doesn't allow high packet rates on virtual interfaces. However, keeping in mind all of these challenges, current implementation of the AF_XDP backend shows a decent performance while running on top of a physical NIC with zero-copy support. Test setup: 2 VMs running on 2 physical hosts connected via ConnectX6-Dx card. Network backend is configured to open the NIC directly in native mode. The driver supports zero-copy. NIC is configured to use 1 queue. Inside a VM - iperf3 for basic TCP performance testing and dpdk-testpmd for PPS testing. iperf3 result: TCP stream : 19.1 Gbps dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results: Tx only : 3.4 Mpps Rx only : 2.0 Mpps L2 FWD Loopback : 1.5 Mpps In skb mode the same setup shows much lower performance, similar to the setup where pair of physical NICs is replaced with veth pair: iperf3 result: TCP stream : 9 Gbps dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results: Tx only : 1.2 Mpps Rx only : 1.0 Mpps L2 FWD Loopback : 0.7 Mpps Results in skb mode or over the veth are close to results of a tap backend with vhost=on and disabled segmentation offloading bridged with a NIC.

2023-09-08arm/kvm: Enable support for KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZEShameer Kolothum1-0/+15
Now that we have Eager Page Split support added for ARM in the kernel, enable it in Qemu. This adds, -eager-split-size to -accel sub-options to set the eager page split chunk size. -enable KVM_CAP_ARM_EAGER_SPLIT_CHUNK_SIZE. The chunk size specifies how many pages to break at a time, using a single allocation. Bigger the chunk size, more pages need to be allocated ahead of time.
