# = Introduction
#
# This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
#
# Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
# means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
# QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
#
# QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
# usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
# return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
#
# It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
# a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
# protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
#
# Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
#
# Example:
#
# ::
#
# -> data issued by the Client
# <- Server data response
#
# Please, refer to the QMP specification (docs/interop/qmp-spec.txt) for
# detailed information on the Server command and response formats.
#
# = Stability Considerations
#
# The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
# number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
# defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
#
# These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
# and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
#
# If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
#
# 1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
# check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
# QEMU is available
#
# 2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
#
# 3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT check
# for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly recommended to only
# check for the "error" key)
#
##
{ 'include': 'pragma.json' }
# Documentation generated with qapi-gen.py is in source order, with
# included sub-schemas inserted at the first include directive
# (subsequent include directives have no effect). To get a sane and
# stable order, it's best to include each sub-schema just once, or
# include it first right here.

authz: add QAuthZList object type for an access control list Add a QAuthZList object type that implements the QAuthZ interface. This built-in implementation maintains a trivial access control list with a sequence of match rules and a final default policy. This replicates the functionality currently provided by the qemu_acl module. To create an instance of this object via the QMP monitor, the syntax used would be: { "execute": "object-add", "arguments": { "qom-type": "authz-list", "id": "authz0", "props": { "rules": [ { "match": "fred", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" }, { "match": "bob", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" }, { "match": "danb", "policy": "deny", "format": "glob" }, { "match": "dan*", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" }, ], "policy": "deny" } } } This sets up an authorization rule that allows 'fred', 'bob' and anyone whose name starts with 'dan', except for 'danb'. Everyone unmatched is denied. It is not currently possible to create this via -object, since there is no syntax supported to specify non-scalar properties for objects. This is likely to be addressed by later support for using JSON with -object, or an equivalent approach. In any case the future "authz-listfile" object can be used from the CLI and is likely a better choice, as it allows the ACL to be refreshed automatically on change.

qmp: Support for querying stats Gathering statistics is important for development, for monitoring and for performance measurement. There are tools such as kvm_stat that do this and they rely on the _user_ knowing the interesting data points rather than the tool (which can treat them as opaque). The commands introduced in this commit introduce QMP support for querying stats; the goal is to take the capabilities of these tools and making them available throughout the whole virtualization stack, so that one can observe, monitor and measure virtual machines without having shell access + root on the host that runs them. query-stats returns a list of all stats per target type (only VM and vCPU to start); future commits add extra options for specifying stat names, vCPU qom paths, and providers. All these are used by the HMP command "info stats". Because of the development usecases around statistics, a good HMP interface is important. query-stats-schemas returns a list of stats included in each target type, with an option for specifying the provider. The concepts in the schema are based on the KVM binary stats' own introspection data, just translated to QAPI. There are two reasons to have a separate schema that is not tied to the QAPI schema. The first is the contents of the schemas: the new introspection data provides different information than the QAPI data, namely unit of measurement, how the numbers are gathered and change (peak/instant/cumulative/histogram), and histogram bucket sizes. There's really no reason to have this kind of metadata in the QAPI introspection schema (except possibly for the unit of measure, but there's a very weak justification). Another reason is the dynamicity of the schema. The QAPI introspection data is very much static; and while QOM is somewhat more dynamic, generally we consider that to be a bug rather than a feature these days. On the other hand, the statistics that are exposed by QEMU might be passed through from another source, such as KVM, and the disadvantages of manually updating the QAPI schema for outweight the benefits from vetting the statistics and filtering out anything that seems "too unstable". Running old QEMU with new kernel is a supported usecase; if old QEMU cannot expose statistics from a new kernel, or if a kernel developer needs to change QEMU before gathering new info from the new kernel, then that is a poor user interface. The framework provides a method to register callbacks for these QMP commands. Most of the work in fact is done by the callbacks, and a large majority of this patch is new QAPI structs and commands. Examples (with KVM stats): - Query all VM stats: { "execute": "query-stats", "arguments" : { "target": "vm" } } { "return": [ { "provider": "kvm", "stats": [ { "name": "max_mmu_page_hash_collisions", "value": 0 }, { "name": "max_mmu_rmap_size", "value": 0 }, { "name": "nx_lpage_splits", "value": 148 }, ... ] }, { "provider": "xyz", "stats": [ ... ] } ] } - Query all vCPU stats: { "execute": "query-stats", "arguments" : { "target": "vcpu" } } { "return": [ { "provider": "kvm", "qom_path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]" "stats": [ { "name": "guest_mode", "value": 0 }, { "name": "directed_yield_successful", "value": 0 }, { "name": "directed_yield_attempted", "value": 106 }, ... ] }, { "provider": "kvm", "qom_path": "/machine/unattached/device[1]" "stats": [ { "name": "guest_mode", "value": 0 }, { "name": "directed_yield_successful", "value": 0 }, { "name": "directed_yield_attempted", "value": 106 }, ... ] }, ] } - Retrieve the schemas: { "execute": "query-stats-schemas" } { "return": [ { "provider": "kvm", "target": "vcpu", "stats": [ { "name": "guest_mode", "unit": "none", "base": 10, "exponent": 0, "type": "instant" }, { "name": "directed_yield_successful", "unit": "none", "base": 10, "exponent": 0, "type": "cumulative" }, ... ] }, { "provider": "kvm", "target": "vm", "stats": [ { "name": "max_mmu_page_hash_collisions", "unit": "none", "base": 10, "exponent": 0, "type": "peak" }, ... ] }, { "provider": "xyz", "target": "vm", "stats": [ ... ] } ] } Signed-off-by: Mark Kanda <mark.kanda@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
