Stefan Hajnoczi e84125761f docs: add Security chapter to the documentation
This new chapter in the QEMU documentation covers the security
requirements that QEMU is designed to meet and principles for securely
deploying QEMU.

It is just a starting point that can be extended in the future with more
information.

Borislav Petkov 483c6ad426 target-i386: Reenable RDTSCP support on Opteron_G[345] CPU models CPU models
The missing functionality was added ~3 years ago with the Linux commit

  46896c73c1a4 ("KVM: svm: add support for RDTSCP")

so reenable RDTSCP support on those CPU models.

Opteron_G2 - being family 15, model 6, doesn't have RDTSCP support
(the real hardware doesn't have it. K8 got RDTSCP support with the NPT
models, i.e., models >= 0x40).

Document the host's minimum required kernel version, while at it.

Daniel P. Berrangé 2544e9e4aa docs: add guidance on configuring CPU models for x86
With the recent set of CPU hardware vulnerabilities on x86, it is
increasingly difficult to understand which CPU configurations are
good to use and what flaws they might be vulnerable to.

This doc attempts to help management applications and administrators in
picking sensible CPU configuration on x86 hosts. It outlines which of
the named CPU models are good choices, and describes which extra CPU
flags should be enabled to allow the guest to mitigate hardware flaws.

Markus Armbruster 44c67847e3 qemu-doc: Move appendix "Deprecated features" to its own file
Consumers of QEMU need to track feature deprecation.  Keeping
deprecation documentation in its own file helps in two small ways:

* You can track changes the easy and obvious way, with git-log.
  Before, you had to resort to more complex gittery like "git-log
  --oneline -L '/@node Deprecated features/,/@node Supported build
  platforms/:qemu-doc.texi'"

* It lets us use MAINTAINERS to copy interested parties on deprecation
  patches, so they can advise or object before they're a done deal.
  The next commit will do that for libvirt.

John Snow 230ff73904 file-posix: specify expected filetypes
Adjust each caller of raw_open_common to specify if they are expecting
host and character devices or not. Tighten expectations of file types upon
open in the common code and refuse types that are not expected.

This has two effects:

(1) Character and block devices are now considered deprecated for the
    'file' driver, which expects only S_IFREG, and
(2) no file-posix driver (file, host_cdrom, or host_device) can open
    directories now.

I don't think there's a legitimate reason to open directories as if
they were files. This prevents QEMU from opening and attempting to probe
a directory inode, which can break in exciting ways. One of those ways
is lseek on ext4/xfs, which will return 0x7fffffffffffffff as the file
size instead of EISDIR. This can coax QEMU into responding with a
confusing "file too big" instead of "Hey, that's not a file".

Richard W.M. Jones e1a6dc91dd crypto: Implement TLS Pre-Shared Keys (PSK).
Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) is a simpler mechanism for enabling TLS
connections than using certificates.  It requires only a simple secret
key:

  $ mkdir -m 0700 /tmp/keys
  $ psktool -u rjones -p /tmp/keys/keys.psk
  $ cat /tmp/keys/keys.psk
  rjones:d543770c15ad93d76443fb56f501a31969235f47e999720ae8d2336f6a13fcbc

The key can be secretly shared between clients and servers.  Clients
must specify the directory containing the "keys.psk" file and a
username (defaults to "qemu").  Servers must specify only the
directory.

Example NBD client:

  $ qemu-img info \
    --object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,dir=/tmp/keys,username=rjones,endpoint=client \
    --image-opts \
    file.driver=nbd,file.host=localhost,file.port=10809,file.tls-creds=tls0,file.export=/

Example NBD server using qemu-nbd:

  $ qemu-nbd -t -x / \
    --object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/tmp/keys \
    --tls-creds tls0 \
    image.qcow2

Example NBD server using nbdkit:

  $ nbdkit -n -e / -fv \
    --tls=on --tls-psk=/tmp/keys/keys.psk \
    file file=disk.img

Thomas Huth c44df2ff9b Deprecate the -enable-hax option
We currently have got three ways of turning on the HAX accelerator:
"-machine accel=hax", "-accel hax" and "-enable-hax". That's really
confusing and overloaded. Since "-accel" is our preferred way to enable
an accelerator nowadays, and "-accel hax" is even less to type than
"-enable-hax", let's deprecate the "-enable-hax" option now.

Note: While "-enable-kvm" is available since a long time and can hardly be
removed since it is used in a lot of upper layer tools and scripts, the
"-enable-hax" option is still rather new and not very widespread yet, so
I think that it should be OK if we remove this in a couple of releases again
(we'll see whether someone complains after seeing the deprecation message -
then we could still reconsider to keep it if there a well-founded reasons).

hd-geo-test tested both the old version with geometry options in -drive

Cédric Le Goater efe2add7cb spapr/vio: deprecate the "irq" property
VIO devices have an "irq" property that can be used by the sPAPR IRQ
allocator as an IRQ number hint. But it is not set in QEMU nor in
libvirt. It brings unnecessary complexity to the underlying layers
managing the IRQ number space and it is in full opposition with the
new static IRQ allocator we want to introduce in sPAPR.

Let's deprecate it to simplify the spapr_irq_alloc routine in the
future.

Thomas Huth 0e0266c2e4 net: Get rid of 'vlan' terminology and use 'hub' instead in the doc files
'vlan' is very confusing since it does not mean something like IEEE
802.1Q, but rather emulated hubs, so let's switch to that terminology
instead. While we're at it, move the subsection about hub a little bit
downward in the documentation (it's not as important anymore as it was
before the invention of the -netdev parameter), and extend it a little
bit.

Thomas Huth af1a5c3eb4 net: Remove the deprecated "vlan" parameter
It's been marked as deprecated since QEMU v2.9.0, so that should have
been enough time for everybody to either just drop unnecessary "vlan=0"
parameters, to switch to the modern -device + -netdev syntax for connecting
guest NICs with host network backends, or to switch to the "hubport" netdev
in case hubs are really wanted instead.

Daniel P. Berrangé 45b47130f4 qemu-doc: provide details of supported build platforms
Describe the policy the project uses to decide which OS are supported as
build platforms. This will:

  - Allow maintainers to determine when the minimum version of a 3rd
    party piece of software can be increased without negatively
    impacting supported platforms.

  - Allow tailoring of CI environments to match the intended supported
    build platforms.

Thomas Huth d8ab6cb798 qemu-options: Remove deprecated -no-kvm-irqchip
We've never documented this option in our qemu-doc, so apart from the users
that already used the old qemu-kvm fork before, most users should not be
aware of this option at all. It's been marked as deprecated in the source
code for a long time already, and officially marked as deprecated in the
documentation since QEMU v2.10, so it should be fine to remove this now.

Laszlo Ersek 6ffa3ab453 qapi: deprecate CpuInfoFast.arch
The TARGET_BASE_ARCH values from "configure" don't all map to the
@CpuInfoArch enum constants; in particular "s390x" from the former does
not match @s390 in the latter. Clients are known to rely on the @s390
constant specifically, so we can't change it silently. Instead, deprecate
the @CpuInfoFast.@arch member (in favor of @CpuInfoFast.@target) using the
regular deprecation process.

(No deprecation reminder is added to sysemu_target_to_cpuinfo_arch(): once
@CpuInfoFast.@arch is removed, the assignment expression that calls
sysemu_target_to_cpuinfo_arch() from qmp_query_cpus_fast() will have to
disappear; in turn the static function left without callers will also
break the build, thus it'll have to go.)

Thomas Huth 4060e671c3 balloon: Fix documentation of the --balloon parameter and deprecate it
There are two issues with the documentation of the --balloon parameter:
First, "--balloon none" is simply doing nothing. Even if a machine had a
balloon device by default, this option is not disabling anything, it is
simply ignored. Thus let's simply drop this option from the documentation
to avoid to confuse the users (but keep the code in vl.c for backward
compatibility).
Second, the documentation claims that "--balloon virtio" is the default
mode, but this is not true anymore since commit 382f074371.
Since that commit, the option also has no real use case anymore, since
you can simply use "--device virtio-balloon" nowadays instead. Thus to
simplify our complex parameter zoo a little bit, let's deprecate the
the parameter now and tell the user to use "--device virtio-balloon"
instead.

To maintain load/store disabled bitmap there is new approach:

 - deprecate @autoload flag of block-dirty-bitmap-add, make it ignored
 - store enabled bitmaps as "auto" to qcow2
 - store disabled bitmaps without "auto" flag to qcow2
 - on qcow2 open load "auto" bitmaps as enabled and others
   as disabled (except in_use bitmaps)

Also, adjust iotests 165 and 176 appropriately.
