Michal Privoznik 3528a3cba1 qemu-options: Fix space at EOL
There's no need to add a space at the end of line.
Moreover, it can make problems in some projects that
store the help output into a file (and run couple of
tests based on that) and have space at EOL forbidden.

Corey Bryant 587ed6be0b qemu-config: Add new -add-fd command line option
This option can be used for passing file descriptors on the
command line.  It mirrors the existing add-fd QMP command which
allows an fd to be passed to QEMU via SCM_RIGHTS and added to an
fd set.

This can be combined with commands such as -drive to link file
descriptors in an fd set to a drive:

    qemu-kvm -add-fd fd=3,set=2,opaque="rdwr:/path/to/file"
             -add-fd fd=4,set=2,opaque="rdonly:/path/to/file"
             -drive file=/dev/fdset/2,index=0,media=disk

This example adds dups of fds 3 and 4, and the accompanying opaque
strings to the fd set with ID=2.  qemu_open() already knows how
to handle a filename of this format.  qemu_open() searches the
corresponding fd set for an fd and when it finds a match, QEMU
goes on to use a dup of that fd just like it would have used an
fd that it opened itself.

'help' rather than '?' for the various "list valid values for this

Amos Kong ac05f34924 add a boot parameter to set reboot timeout
Added an option to let qemu transfer a configuration file to bios,
"etc/boot-fail-wait", which could be specified by command
    -boot reboot-timeout=T
T have a max value of 0xffff, unit is ms.

With this option, guest will wait for a given time if not find
bootabled device, then reboot. If reboot-timeout is '-1', guest
will not reboot, qemu passes '-1' to bios by default.

This feature need the new seabios's support.

Seabios pulls the value from the fwcfg "file" interface, this
interface is used because SeaBIOS needs a reliable way of
obtaining a name, value size, and value. It in no way requires
that there be a real file on the user's host machine.

Matthew Ogilvie f278d4947f i8259: add -no-spurious-interrupt-hack option
This patch provides a way to optionally suppress spurious interrupts,
as a workaround for systems described below:

Some old operating systems do not handle spurious interrupts well,
and qemu tends to generate them significantly more often than
real hardware.

Examples:
  - Microport UNIX System V/386 v 2.1 (ca 1987)
    (The main problem I'm fixing: Without this patch, it panics
    sporadically when accessing the hard disk.)
  - AT&T UNIX System V/386 Release 4.0 Version 2.1a (ca 1991)
    See screenshot in "QEMU Official OS Support List":
    http://www.claunia.com/qemu/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=9
    (I don't have this system to test.)

Matthew Ogilvie 482f7bf86b vga: add some optional CGA compatibility hacks
This patch adds some optional compatibility hacks (default
disabled) to allow Microport UNIX to function under qemu.

I've tried to structure it to be easy to add more hacks for other
old CGA programs, if anyone ever needs them.

Microport UNIX System V/386 v 2.1 (ca 1987) tries to program
the CGA registers directly with neither the assistance of BIOS, nor
with proper handling of EGA/VGA-only registers.  Note that it didn't
work on real VGA hardware, either (although in that case, the most
obvious problems seemed to be out-of-range hsync and/or vsync
signalling, rather than the issues in this patch).

Eventually real MDA and/or CGA support might provide an alternative to
this patch, although a hybrid approach like this patch might still
be useful in marginal cases.

Jason Baron ddb97f1deb memory: add -machine dump-guest-core=on|off
Add a new '[,dump-guest-core=on|off]' option to the '-machine' option. When
'dump-guest-core=off' is specified, guest memory is omitted from the core dump.
The default behavior continues to be to include guest memory when a core dump is
triggered. In my testing, this brought the core dump size down from 384MB to 6MB
on a 2GB guest.

Is anything additional required to preserve this setting for migration or
savevm? I don't believe so.

v3:
    Eliminate globals as per Anthony's suggestion
    set no dump from qemu_ram_remap() as well

Ronnie Sahlberg 31459f463a iscsi: Pick default initiator-name based on the name of the VM
This patch updates the iscsi layer to automatically pick a 'unique'
initiator-name based on the name of the vm in case the user has not set
an explicit iqn-name to use.

Create a new function qemu_get_vm_name() that returns the name of the VM,
if specified.

This way we can thus create default names to use as the initiator name
based on the guest session.

If the VM is not named via the '-name' command line argument, the iscsi
initiator-name used wiull simply be

    iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm

If a name for the VM was specified with the '-name' option, iscsi will
use a default initiatorname of

    iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm:<name>

These names are just the default iscsi initiator name that qemu will
generate/use only when the user has not set an explicit initiator name
via the commandlines or config files.

Paul Moore 0f66998ff6 vnc: disable VNC password authentication (security type 2) when in FIPS mode
FIPS 140-2 requires disabling certain ciphers, including DES, which is used
by VNC to obscure passwords when they are sent over the network.  The
solution for FIPS users is to disable the use of VNC password auth when the
host system is operating in FIPS compliance mode and the user has specified
'-enable-fips' on the QEMU command line.

This patch causes QEMU to emit a message to stderr when the host system is
running in FIPS mode and a VNC password was specified on the commend line.
If the system is not running in FIPS mode, or is running in FIPS mode but
VNC password authentication was not requested, QEMU operates normally.

Peter Maydell c8057f951d Support 'help' as a synonym for '?' in command line options
For command line options which permit '?' meaning 'please list the
permitted values', add support for 'help' as a synonym, by abstracting
the check out into a helper function.

This change means that in some cases where we were being lazy in
our string parsing, "?junk" will now be rejected as an invalid option
rather than being (undocumentedly) treated the same way as "?".

Update the documentation to use 'help' rather than '?', since '?'
is a shell metacharacter and thus prone to fail confusingly if there
is a single character filename in the current working directory and
the '?' has not been escaped. It's therefore better to steer users
towards 'help', though '?' is retained for backwards compatibility.

We do not, however, update the output of the system emulator's -help
(or any documentation autogenerated from the qemu-options.hx which
is the source of the -help text) because libvirt parses our -help
output and will break. At a later date when QEMU provides a better
interface so libvirt can avoid having to do this, we can update the
-help text too.

Anthony Liguori c7f0f3b1c8 qtest: add test framework
The idea behind qtest is pretty simple.  Instead of executing a CPU via TCG or
KVM, rely on an external process to send events to the device model that the CPU
would normally generate.

qtest presents itself as an accelerator.  In addition, a new option is added to
establish a qtest server (-qtest) that takes a character device.  This is what
allows the external process to send CPU events to the device model.

qtest uses a simple line based protocol to send the events.  Documentation of
that protocol is in qtest.c.

I considered reusing the monitor for this job.  Adding interrupts would be a bit
difficult.  In addition, logging would also be difficult.

qtest has extensive logging support.  All protocol commands are logged with
time stamps using a new command line option (-qtest-log).  Logging is important
since ultimately, this is a feature for debugging.

Gerd Hoffmann 8cf364898c vnc: implement shared flag handling.
VNC clients send a shared flag in the client init message.  Up to now
qemu completely ignores this.  This patch implements shared flag
handling.  It comes with three policies:  By default qemu behaves as one
would expect:  Asking for a exclusive access grants exclusive access to
the client connecting.  There is also a desktop sharing mode which
disallows exclusive connects (so one forgetting -shared wouldn't drop
everybody else) and a compatibility mode which mimics the traditional
(but non-conforming) qemu behavior.

Ronnie Sahlberg f9dadc9855 iSCSI: add configuration variables for iSCSI
This patch adds configuration variables for iSCSI to set
initiator-name to use when logging in to the target,
which type of header-digest to negotiate with the target
and username and password for CHAP authentication.

This allows specifying a initiator-name either from the command line
-iscsi initiator-name=iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
or from a configuration file included with -readconfig
    [iscsi]
      initiator-name = iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
      header-digest = CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
      user = CHAP username
      password = CHAP password

If you use several different targets, you can also configure this on a per
target basis by using a group name:
    [iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
    ...

The configuration file can be read using -readconfig.
Example :
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=iscsi://127.0.0.1/iqn.ronnie.test/1
 -readconfig iscsi.conf

Corey Bryant a7c36ee492 Add support for net bridge
The most common use of -net tap is to connect a tap device to a bridge.  This
requires the use of a script and running qemu as root in order to allocate a
tap device to pass to the script.

This model is great for portability and flexibility but it's incredibly
difficult to eliminate the need to run qemu as root.  The only really viable
mechanism is to use tunctl to create a tap device, attach it to a bridge as
root, and then hand that tap device to qemu.  The problem with this mechanism
is that it requires administrator intervention whenever a user wants to create
a guest.

By essentially writing a helper that implements the most common qemu-ifup
script that can be safely given cap_net_admin, we can dramatically simplify
things for non-privileged users.  We still support existing -net tap options
as a mechanism for advanced users and backwards compatibility.

Currently, this is very Linux centric but there's really no reason why it
couldn't be extended for other Unixes.

A typical invocation would be similar to one of the following:

  qemu linux.img -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper"
                 -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

  qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper",id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

The default bridge that we attach to is br0.  The thinking is that a distro
could preconfigure such an interface to allow out-of-the-box bridged networking.

Alternatively, if a user wants to use a different bridge, a typical invocation
would be simliar to one of the following:

  qemu linux.img -net bridge,br=qemubr0 -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0"
                 -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

  qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0",id=hn0

wayne 3d3b8303c6 showing a splash picture when start
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.

Fix that while still accepting the formerly allowed yes|y|no|n, but

Marc-André Lureau 48b3ed0a68 spice: add SASL support
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.

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

qxl is a paravirtual graphics card.  The qxl device is the bridge
between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server).  The
spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which
will actually render them.

The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case
the guest wants read something from video memory.  Local rendering is
also used to support display over vnc and sdl.

qxl is activated using "-vga qxl".  qxl supports multihead, additional
cards can be added via '-device qxl".

Libvirt parses qemu help output to determine qemu features. In particular
it probes for the following: "cache=writethrough|writeback|none". The
addition of the unsafe cache mode was inserted within this string, as
opposed to being added to the end, which impacted libvirt's probe.
Unbreak libvirt by keeping the existing cache modes intact and add
unsafe to the end.

This problem only manifests itself if a caching mode is explicitly
specified in the libvirt xml, in which case older syntax for caching is

Amit Shah 98b19252cf virtio-console: qdev conversion, new virtio-serial-bus
This commit converts the virtio-console device to create a new
virtio-serial bus that can host console and generic serial ports. The
file hosting this code is now called virtio-serial-bus.c.

The virtio console is now a very simple qdev device that sits on the
virtio-serial-bus and communicates between the bus and qemu's chardevs.

This commit also includes a few changes to the virtio backing code for
pci and s390 to spawn the virtio-serial bus.

As a result of the qdev conversion, we get rid of a lot of legacy code.
The old-style way of instantiating a virtio console using

    -virtioconsole ...

is maintained, but the new, preferred way is to use

    -device virtio-serial -device virtconsole,chardev=...

With this commit, multiple devices as well as multiple ports with a
single device can be supported.

For multiple ports support, each port gets an IO vq pair. Since the
guest needs to know in advance how many vqs a particular device will
need, we have to set this number as a property of the virtio-serial
device and also as a config option.

In addition, we also spawn a pair of control IO vqs. This is an internal
channel meant for guest-host communication for things like port
open/close, sending port properties over to the guest, etc.

This commit is a part of a series of other commits to get the full
implementation of multiport support. Future commits will add other
support as well as ride on the savevm version that we bump up here.

H. Peter Anvin c9f398e53f debugcon: support for debugging consoles (e.g. Bochs port 0xe9)
Add generic support for debugging consoles (simple I/O ports which
when written to cause debugging output to be written to a target.)
The current implementation matches Bochs' port 0xe9, allowing the same
debugging code to be used for both Bochs and Qemu.

There is no vm state associated with the debugging port, simply
because it has none -- the entire interface is a single, stateless,
write-only port.

Most of the code was cribbed from the serial port driver.

v2: removed non-ISA variants (they can be introduced when/if someone
wants them, using code from the serial port); added configurable
readback (Bochs returns 0xe9 on a read from this register, mimic that
by default)  This retains the apparently somewhat controversial user
friendly option, however.

v3: reimplemented the user friendly option as a synthetic option
("-debugcon foo" basically ends up being a parser-level shorthand for
"-chardev stdio,id=debugcon -device isa-debugcon,chardev=debugcon") --
this dramatically reduced the complexity while keeping the same level
of user friendliness.

v4: spaces, not tabs.

v5: update to match current top of tree.  Calling qemu_chr_open()
already during parsing no longer works; defer until we are parsing the
other console-like devices.

Gerd Hoffmann d0fef6fbea qdev: add command line option to set global defaults for properties.
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).  The command line
takes precedence over the machine type values.

This commit adds a flag called 'control' to the '-monitor'

The syntax is:

qemu [...] -monitor control,<device>

Where <device> is a chardev (excluding 'vc', for obvious reasons).

For example:

$ qemu [...] -monitor control,tcp:localhost:4444,server

Will run QEMU in control mode, waiting for a client TCP connection
on localhost port 4444.

In practice it will not work.  Not all command line switches are

on the second line.  Also there might be bugs lurking which prevent even
the converted ones from working correctly.

Anthony Liguori 4a1418e07b Unbreak large mem support by removing kqemu
kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target.  The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.

Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways.  It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace.  Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.

kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel.  If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.

N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.

Mark McLoughlin fc5b81d1f6 net: set a default value for sndbuf=
On reflection, perhaps it does make sense to set a default value for
the sndbuf= tap parameter.

For best effect, sndbuf= should be set to just below the capacity of
the physical NIC.

Setting it higher will cause packets to be dropped before the limit
is hit. Setting it much lower will not cause any problems unless
you set it low enough such that the guest cannot queue up new packets
before the NIC has emptied its queue.

In Linux, txqueuelen=1000 by default for ethernet NICs. Given a 1500
byte MTU, 1Mb is a good choice for sndbuf.

If it turns out that txqueuelen is actually much lower than this, then
sndbuf is essentially disabled. In the event that txqueuelen is much
higher, it's unlikely that the NIC will be able to empty a 1Mb queue.

suppress it, and control its PCI address.  Option -no-virtio-balloon
lets us do only the former.  To get the latter, replace
-no-virtio-balloon with

    -balloon none   disable balloon device
    -balloon virtio[,addr=str]
                    enable virtio balloon device (default)

Syntax suggested by Anthony Liguori.

Jan Kiszka c92ef6a22d slirp: Rework external configuration interface
With the internal IP configuration made more flexible, we can now
enhance the user interface. This patch adds a number of new options to
"-net user": net (address and mask), host, dhcpstart, dns and smbserver.
It also renames "redir" to "hostfwd" and "channel" to "guestfwd" in
order to (hopefully) clarify their meanings. The format of guestfwd is
extended so that the user can define not only the port but also the
virtual server's IP address the forwarding starts from.

Jan Kiszka ad196a9d0c slirp: Move smb, redir, tftp and bootp parameters and -net channel
So far a couple of slirp-related parameters were expressed via
stand-alone command line options. This it inconsistent and unintuitive.
Moreover, it prevents both dynamically reconfigured (host_net_add/
delete) and multi-instance slirp.

This patch refactors the configuration by turning -smb, -redir, -tftp
and -bootp as well as -net channel into options of "-net user". The old
stand-alone command line options are still processed, but no longer
advertised. This allows smooth migration of management applications to
to the new syntax and also the extension of that syntax later in this
series.

Mark McLoughlin 0df0ff6de7 net: add '-net tap,sndbuf=nbytes'
2.6.30 adds a new TUNSETSNDBUF ioctl() which allows a send buffer limit
for the tap device to be specified. When this limit is reached, a tap
write() will return EAGAIN and poll() will indicate the fd isn't
writable.

This allows people to tune their setups so as to avoid e.g. UDP packet
loss when the sending application in the guest out-runs the NIC in the
host.

There is no obviously sensible default setting - a suitable value
depends mostly on the capabilities of the physical NIC through which the
packets are being sent.

Also, note that when using a bridge with netfilter enabled, we currently
never get EAGAIN because netfilter causes the packet to be immediately
orphaned. Set /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge nf-call-iptables to zero to
disable this behaviour.

This patch is derived from Tristan Gingold's patch. It adds a new VLAN
client type that writes all traffic on the VLAN it is attached to into a
pcap file. Such a file can then be analyzed offline with Wireshark or
tcpdump.

Besides rebasing and some minor cleanups, the major differences to the
original version are:
 - support for enabling/disabling via the monitor (host_net_add/remove)
 - no special ordering of VLAN client list, qemu_send_packet now takes
   care of properly ordered packets
 - 64k default capturing limit (I hate tcpdump's default)

aliguori b6f6e3d3a7 qemu: Add support for SMBIOS command line otions (Alex Williamson)
Create a new -smbios option (x86-only) to allow binary SMBIOS entries
to be passed through to the BIOS or modify the default values of
individual fields of type 0 and 1 entries on the command line.

Binary SMBIOS entries can be generated as follows:

dmidecode -t 1 -u | grep $'^\t\t[^"]' | xargs -n1 | \
        perl -lne 'printf "%c", hex($_)' > smbios_type_1.bin

These can then be passed to the BIOS using this switch:

 -smbios file=smbios_type_1.bin

Command line generation supports the following syntax:

 -smbios type=0[,vendor=str][,version=str][,date=str][,release=%d.%d]
 -smbios type=1[,manufacturer=str][,product=str][,version=str][,serial=str]
              [,uuid=$(uuidgen)][,sku=str][,family=str]

For instance, to add a serial number to the type 1 table:

 -smbios type=1,serial=0123456789

Interface is extensible to support more fields/tables as needed.
