As recent CVE-2023-2861 (fixed by f6b0de53fb) once again showed, the 9p
'proxy' fs driver is in bad shape. Using the 'proxy' backend was already
discouraged for safety reasons before and we recommended to use the
'local' backend (preferably in conjunction with its 'mapped' security
model) instead, but now it is time to officially deprecate the 'proxy'
backend.

When we for example have a sparse qcow2 image and discard: unmap is enabled,
there can be a lot of fragmentation in the image after some time. Especially on VM's
that do a lot of writes/deletes.
This causes the qcow2 image to grow even over 110% of its virtual size,
because the free gaps in the image get too small to allocate new
continuous clusters. So it allocates new space at the end of the image.
Disabling discard is not an option, as discard is needed to keep the
incremental backup size as low as possible. Without discard, the
incremental backups would become large, as qemu thinks it's just dirty
blocks but it doesn't know the blocks are unneeded.
So we need to avoid fragmentation but also 'empty' the unneeded blocks in
the image to have a small incremental backup.
In addition, we also want to send the discards further down the stack, so
the underlying blocks are still discarded.
Therefor we introduce a new qcow2 option "discard-no-unref".
When setting this option to true, discards will no longer have the qcow2
driver relinquish cluster allocations. Other than that, the request is
handled as normal: All clusters in range are marked as zero, and, if
pass-discard-request is true, it is passed further down the stack.
The only difference is that the now-zero clusters are preallocated
instead of being unallocated.
This will avoid fragmentation on the qcow2 image.

Add an option for hostmem-file to start the memory object at an offset
into the target file. This is useful if multiple memory objects reside
inside the same target file, such as a device node.
In particular, it's useful to map guest memory directly into /dev/mem
for experimentation.
To make this work consistently, also fix up all places in QEMU that
expect fd offsets to be 0.

This commit adds a new audiodev backend to allow QEMU to use Pipewire as
both an audio sink and source. This backend is available on most systems
Add Pipewire entry points for QEMU Pipewire audio backend
Add wrappers for QEMU Pipewire audio backend in qpw_pcm_ops()
qpw_write function returns the current state of the stream to pwaudio
and Writes some data to the server for playback streams using pipewire
spa_ringbuffer implementation.
qpw_read function returns the current state of the stream to pwaudio and
reads some data from the server for capture streams using pipewire
spa_ringbuffer implementation. These functions qpw_write and qpw_read
are called during playback and capture.
Added some functions that convert pw audio formats to QEMU audio format
and vice versa which would be needed in the pipewire audio sink and
source functions qpw_init_in() & qpw_init_out().
These methods that implement playback and recording will create streams
for playback and capture that will start processing and will result in
the on_process callbacks to be called.
Built a connection to the Pipewire sound system server in the
qpw_audio_init() method.

This commit adds 'one-insn-per-tb' as a property on the TCG
accelerator object, so you can enable it with
-accel tcg,one-insn-per-tb=on
It has the same behaviour as the existing '-singlestep' command line
option. We use a different name because 'singlestep' has always been
a confusing choice, because it doesn't have anything to do with
single-stepping the CPU. What it does do is force TCG emulation to
put one guest instruction in each TB, which can be useful in some
situations (such as analysing debug logs).
The existing '-singlestep' commandline options are decoupled from the
global 'singlestep' variable and instead now are syntactic sugar for
setting the accel property. (These can then go away after a
deprecation period.)
The global variable remains for the moment as:
* what the TCG code looks at to change its behaviour
* what HMP and QMP use to query and set the behaviour
In the following commits we'll clean those up to not directly
look at the global variable.

Our 'file' chardev backend supports both "output from this chardev
is written to a file" and "input from this chardev should be read
from a file" (except on Windows). However, you can only set up
the input file if you're using the QMP interface -- there is no
command line syntax to do it.
Add command line syntax to allow specifying an input file
as well as an output file, using a new 'input-path' suboption.
The specific use case I have is that I'd like to be able to
feed fuzzer reproducer input into qtest without having to use
'-qtest stdio' and put the input onto stdin. Being able to
use a file chardev like this:
-chardev file,id=repro,path=/dev/null,input-path=repro.txt -qtest chardev:repro
means that stdio is free for use by gdb.

Currently we'll always generate a cluster node no matter user has
specified '-smp clusters=X' or not. Cluster is an optional level
and will participant the building of Linux scheduling domains and
only appears on a few platforms. It's unncessary to always build
it when it cannot reflect the real topology on platforms having no
cluster implementation and to avoid affecting the linux scheduling
domains in the VM. So only generate the cluster topology in ACPI
PPTT when the user has specified it explicitly in -smp.

This patch adds support for asynchronously tearing down a VM on Linux.
When qemu terminates, either naturally or because of a fatal signal,
the VM is torn down. If the VM is huge, it can take a considerable
amount of time for it to be cleaned up. In case of a protected VM, it
might take even longer than a non-protected VM (this is the case on
s390x, for example).
Some users might want to shut down a VM and restart it immediately,
without having to wait. This is especially true if management
infrastructure like libvirt is used.
This patch implements a simple trick on Linux to allow qemu to return
immediately, with the teardown of the VM being performed
asynchronously.
If the new commandline option -async-teardown is used, a new process is
spawned from qemu at startup, using the clone syscall, in such way that
it will share its address space with qemu.The new process will have the
name "cleanup/<QEMU_PID>". It will wait until qemu terminates
completely, and then it will exit itself.
This allows qemu to terminate quickly, without having to wait for the
whole address space to be torn down. The cleanup process will exit
after qemu, so it will be the last user of the address space, and
therefore it will take care of the actual teardown. The cleanup
process will share the same cgroups as qemu, so both memory usage and
cpu time will be accounted properly.
If possible, close_range will be used in the cleanup process to close
all open file descriptors. If it is not available or if it fails, /proc
will be used to determine which file descriptors to close.
If the cleanup process is forcefully killed with SIGKILL before the
main qemu process has terminated completely, the mechanism is defeated
and the teardown will not be asynchronous.
This feature can already be used with libvirt by adding the following
to the XML domain definition to pass the parameter to qemu directly:
<commandline xmlns="http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0">
<arg value='-async-teardown'/>
</commandline>

Copied from socket netdev file and modified to use SocketAddress
to be able to introduce new features like unix socket.
"udp" and "mcast" are squashed into dgram netdev, multicast is detected
according to the IP address type.
"listen" and "connect" modes are managed by stream netdev. An optional
parameter "server" defines the mode (off by default)
The two new types need to be parsed the modern way with -netdev, because
with the traditional way, the "type" field of netdev structure collides with
the "type" field of SocketAddress and prevents the correct evaluation of the
command line option. Moreover the traditional way doesn't allow to use
the same type (SocketAddress) several times with the -netdev option
(needed to specify "local" and "remote" addresses).
The previous commit paved the way for parsing the modern way, but
omitted one detail: how to pick modern vs. traditional, in
netdev_is_modern().
We want to pick based on the value of parameter "type". But how to
extract it from the option argument?
Parsing the option argument, either the modern or the traditional way,
extracts it for us, but only if parsing succeeds.
If parsing fails, there is no good option. No matter which parser we
pick, it'll be the wrong one for some arguments, and the error
reporting will be confusing.
Fortunately, the traditional parser accepts *anything* when called in
a certain way. This maximizes our chance to extract the value of
"type", and in turn minimizes the risk of confusing error reporting.

There are cases that malicious virtual machine can cause CPU stuck (due
to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when
nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and
IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or
other VMs. Notify VM exit is introduced to mitigate such kind of
attacks, which will generate a VM exit if no event window occurs in VM
non-root mode for a specified amount of time (notify window).
A new KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT is exposed to user space
so that the user can query the capability and set the expected notify
window when creating VMs. The format of the argument when enabling this
capability is as follows:
Bit 63:32 - notify window specified in qemu command
Bit 31:0 - some flags (e.g. KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED is set to
enable the feature.)
Users can configure the feature by a new (x86 only) accel property:
qemu -accel kvm,notify-vmexit=run|internal-error|disable,notify-window=n
The default option of notify-vmexit is run, which will enable the
capability and do nothing if the exit happens. The internal-error option
raises a KVM internal error if it happens. The disable option does not
enable the capability. The default value of notify-window is 0. It is valid
only when notify-vmexit is not disabled. The valid range of notify-window
is non-negative. It is even safe to set it to zero since there's an
internal hardware threshold to be added to ensure no false positive.
Because a notify VM exit may happen with VM_CONTEXT_INVALID set in exit
qualification (no cases are anticipated that would set this bit), which
means VM context is corrupted. It would be reflected in the flags of
KVM_EXIT_NOTIFY exit. If KVM_NOTIFY_CONTEXT_INVALID bit is set, raise a KVM
internal error unconditionally.

Currently our semihosting implementations generally prohibit use of
semihosting calls in system emulation from the guest userspace. This
is a very long standing behaviour justified originally "to provide
some semblance of security" (since code with access to the
semihosting ABI can do things like read and write arbitrary files on
the host system). However, it is sometimes useful to be able to run
trusted guest code which performs semihosting calls from guest
userspace, notably for test code. Add a command line suboption to
the existing semihosting-config option group so that you can
explicitly opt in to semihosting from guest userspace with
-semihosting-config userspace=on
(There is no equivalent option for the user-mode emulator, because
there by definition all code runs in userspace and has access to
semihosting already.)
This commit adds the infrastructure for the command line option and
adds a bool 'is_user' parameter to the function
semihosting_userspace_enabled() that target code can use to check
whether it should be permitting the semihosting call for userspace.
It mechanically makes all the callsites pass 'false', so they
continue checking "is semihosting enabled in general". Subsequent
commits will make each target that implements semihosting honour the
userspace=on option by passing the correct value and removing
whatever "don't do this for userspace" checking they were doing by
hand.

-audio is used like "-audio pa,model=sb16". It is almost as simple as
-soundhw, but it reuses the -audiodev parsing machinery and attaches an
audiodev to the newly-created device. The main 'feature' is that
it knows about adding the codec device for model=intel-hda, and adding
the audiodev to the codec device.
In the future, it could be extended to support default models or
builtin devices, just like -nic, or even a default backend. For now,
keep it simple.

The concept of these is introduced in [1] in terms of the
description the CEDT ACPI table. The principal is more general.
Unlike once traffic hits the CXL root bridges, the host system
memory address routing is implementation defined and effectively
static once observable by standard / generic system software.
Each CXL Fixed Memory Windows (CFMW) is a region of PA space
which has fixed system dependent routing configured so that
accesses can be routed to the CXL devices below a set of target
root bridges. The accesses may be interleaved across multiple
root bridges.
For QEMU we could have fully specified these regions in terms
of a base PA + size, but as the absolute address does not matter
it is simpler to let individual platforms place the memory regions.
ExampleS:
-cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl.0,size=128G
-cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl.1,size=128G
-cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl0,targets.1=cxl.1,size=256G,interleave-granularity=2k
Specifies
* 2x 128G regions not interleaved across root bridges, one for each of
the root bridges with ids cxl.0 and cxl.1
* 256G region interleaved across root bridges with ids cxl.0 and cxl.1
with a 2k interleave granularity.
When system software enumerates the devices below a given root bridge
it can then decide which CFMW to use. If non interleave is desired
(or possible) it can use the appropriate CFMW for the root bridge in
question. If there are suitable devices to interleave across the
two root bridges then it may use the 3rd CFMS.
A number of other designs were considered but the following constraints
made it hard to adapt existing QEMU approaches to this particular problem.
1) The size must be known before a specific architecture / board brings
up it's PA memory map. We need to set up an appropriate region.
2) Using links to the host bridges provides a clean command line interface
but these links cannot be established until command line devices have
been added.
Hence the two step process used here of first establishing the size,
interleave-ways and granularity + caching the ids of the host bridges
and then, once available finding the actual host bridges so they can
be used later to support interleave decoding.

Like -set and -readconfig, it would not really be too hard to
extend -writeconfig to parsing mechanisms other than QemuOpts.
However, the uses of -writeconfig are substantially more
limited, as it is generally easier to write the configuration
by hand in the first place. In addition, -writeconfig does
not even try to detect cases where it prints incorrect
syntax (for example if values have a quote in them, since
qemu_config_parse does not support any kind of escaping.

We add a global Event Tap that allows qemu to see all events when the

ARM64 machines like Kunpeng Family Server Chips have a level
of hardware topology in which a group of CPU cores share L3
cache tag or L2 cache. For example, Kunpeng 920 typically
has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node (also represent range
of CPU die), and each cluster has 4 CPU cores. All clusters
share L3 cache data, but CPU cores in each cluster share a
local L3 tag.
Running a guest kernel with Cluster-Aware Scheduling on the
Hosts which have physical clusters, if we can design a vCPU
topology with cluster level for guest kernel and then have
a dedicated vCPU pinning, the guest will gain scheduling
performance improvement from cache affinity of CPU cluster.
So let's enable the support for this new parameter on ARM
virt machines. After this patch, we can define a 4-level
CPU hierarchy like: cpus=*,maxcpus=*,sockets=*,clusters=*,
cores=*,threads=*.

The new Cluster-Aware Scheduling support has landed in Linux 5.16,
which has been proved to benefit the scheduling performance (e.g.
load balance and wake_affine strategy) on both x86_64 and AArch64.
So now in Linux 5.16 we have four-level arch-neutral CPU topology
definition like below and a new scheduler level for clusters.
struct cpu_topology {
int thread_id;
int core_id;
int cluster_id;
int package_id;
int llc_id;
cpumask_t thread_sibling;
cpumask_t core_sibling;
cpumask_t cluster_sibling;
cpumask_t llc_sibling;
}
A cluster generally means a group of CPU cores which share L2 cache
or other mid-level resources, and it is the shared resources that
is used to improve scheduler's behavior. From the point of view of
the size range, it's between CPU die and CPU core. For example, on
some ARM64 Kunpeng servers, we have 6 clusters in each NUMA node,
and 4 CPU cores in each cluster. The 4 CPU cores share a separate
L2 cache and a L3 cache tag, which brings cache affinity advantage.
In virtualization, on the Hosts which have pClusters (physical
clusters), if we can design a vCPU topology with cluster level for
guest kernel and have a dedicated vCPU pinning. A Cluster-Aware
Guest kernel can also make use of the cache affinity of CPU clusters
to gain similar scheduling performance.
This patch adds infrastructure for CPU cluster level topology
configuration and parsing, so that the user can specify cluster
parameter if their machines support it.

The "dbus" display backend exports the QEMU consoles and other

By default, the connection is established on the session bus, but you
can specify a different bus with the "addr" option.
The backend takes the "org.qemu" service name, while still allowing
further instances to queue on the same name (so you can lookup all the
available instances too). It accepts any number of clients at this
point, although this is expected to evolve with options to restrict
clients, or only accept p2p via fd passing.
The interface is intentionally very close to the internal QEMU API,
and can be introspected or interacted with busctl/dfeet etc:

The single backtick markup in ReST is the "default role". Currently,
Sphinx's default role is called "content". Sphinx suggests you can use
the "Any" role instead to turn any single-backtick enclosed item into a
cross-reference.
This is useful for things like autodoc for Python docstrings, where it's
often nicer to reference other types with `foo` instead of the more
laborious :py:meth:`foo`. It's also useful in multi-domain cases to
easily reference definitions from other Sphinx domains, such as
referencing C code definitions from outside of kerneldoc comments.
Before we do that, though, we'll need to turn all existing usages of the
"content" role to inline verbatim markup wherever it does not correctly
resolve into a cross-refernece by using double backticks instead.

missing sockets and cores is not immutable and is considered

So "-smp 2,sockets=2,maxcpus=2" will be optimal when we expect

In the real SMP hardware topology world, it's much more likely that
we have high cores-per-socket counts and few sockets totally. While
the current preference of sockets over cores in smp parsing results
in a virtual cpu topology with low cores-per-sockets counts and a
large number of sockets, which is just contrary to the real world.
Given that it is better to make the virtual cpu topology be more
reflective of the real world and also for the sake of compatibility,
we start to prefer cores over sockets over threads in smp parsing
since machine type 6.2 for different arches.
In this patch, a boolean "smp_prefer_sockets" is added, and we only
enable the old preference on older machines and enable the new one
since type 6.2 for all arches by using the machine compat mechanism.

Currently we directly calculate the omitted cpus based on the given
incomplete collection of parameters. This makes some cmdlines like:
-smp maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,dies=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16
not work. We should probably set the value of cpus to match maxcpus
if it's omitted, which will make above configs start to work.
So the calculation logic of cpus/maxcpus after this patch will be:
When both maxcpus and cpus are omitted, maxcpus will be calculated
from the given parameters and cpus will be set equal to maxcpus.
When only one of maxcpus and cpus is given then the omitted one
will be set to its counterpart's value. Both maxcpus and cpus may
be specified, but maxcpus must be equal to or greater than cpus.
Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines

Because SGX EPC is enumerated through CPUID, EPC "devices" need to be
realized prior to realizing the vCPUs themselves, i.e. long before
generic devices are parsed and realized. From a virtualization
perspective, the CPUID aspect also means that EPC sections cannot be
hotplugged without paravirtualizing the guest kernel (hardware does
not support hotplugging as EPC sections must be locked down during
pre-boot to provide EPC's security properties).
So even though EPC sections could be realized through the generic
-devices command, they need to be created much earlier for them to
actually be usable by the guest. Place all EPC sections in a
contiguous block, somewhat arbitrarily starting after RAM above 4g.
Ensuring EPC is in a contiguous region simplifies calculations, e.g.
device memory base, PCI hole, etc..., allows dynamic calculation of the
total EPC size, e.g. exposing EPC to guests does not require -maxmem,
and last but not least allows all of EPC to be enumerated in a single
ACPI entry, which is expected by some kernels, e.g. Windows 7 and 8.

The -display sdl option is not using QAPI internally yet, and uses hand-
crafted parsing instead (see parse_display() in vl.c), which is quite
ugly, since most of the other code is using the QAPIfied DisplayOption
already. Unfortunately, the "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab" use underscores in
their names which has recently been forbidden in new QAPI code, so
a straight conversion is not possible. While we could add some exceptions
to the QAPI schema parser for this, the way these parameters have been
designed was maybe a bad idea anyway: First, it's not possible to enable
both parameters at the same time, thus instead of two boolean parameters
it would be better to have only one multi-choice parameter instead.
Second, the naming is also somewhat unfortunate since the "alt_grab"
parameter is not about the ALT key, but rather about the left SHIFT key
that has to be used additionally when the parameter is enabled.
So instead of trying to QAPIfy "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab", let's rather
introduce an alternative to these parameters instead, a new parameter
called "grab-mod" which can either be set to "lshift-lctrl-lalt" or to
"rctrl". In case we ever want to support additional modes later, we can
then also simply extend the list of supported strings here.

It's just a wrapper around the -display ...,window-close=off parameter,
and the name "no-quit" is rather confusing compared to "window-close"
(since there are still other means to quit the emulator), so we should
rather tell our users to use the "window-close" parameter instead.
While we're at it, update the documentation to state that
"-no-quit" is available for GTK, too, not only for SDL.

According to the QAPI schema, there is a "-" and not a "_" between
"window" and "close", and we're also talking about "window-close"
in the long parameter description in qemu-options.hx, so we should
make sure that we rather use the variant with the "-" by default
instead of only allowing the one with the "_" here. The old way
still stays enabled for compatibility, but we deprecate it, so that
we can switch to a QAPIfied parameter one day more easily.

These headers are also included from softmmu/vl.c, so they should be
in include/. Remove qemu-options-wrapper.h, since elsewhere
we include "template" headers directly and #define the parameters in
the including file; move qemu-options.h to include/.
