To make our efforts on QEMU testing easier to consume by contributors,
let's add a document. For example, Patchew reports build errors on
patches that should be relatively easy to reproduce with a few steps, and
it is much nicer if there is such a documentation that it can refer to.
This focuses on how to run existing tests and how to write new test
cases, without going into the frameworks themselves.
The VM based testing section is moved from tests/vm/README which now
is a single line pointing to the new doc.

Currently the only vNVDIMM backend can guarantee the guest write
persistence is device DAX on Linux, because no host-side kernel cache
is involved in the guest access to it. The approach to detect whether
the backend is device DAX needs to access sysfs, which may not work
with SELinux.
Instead, we add the 'unarmed' option to device 'nvdimm', so that users
or management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend,
can control the unarmed flag in guest ACPI NFIT via this option. The
guest Linux NVDIMM driver, for example, will mark the corresponding
vNVDIMM device read-only if the unarmed flag in guest NFIT is set.
The default value of 'unarmed' option is 'off' in order to keep the
backwards compatibility.

When mmap(2) the backend files, QEMU uses the host page size
(getpagesize(2)) by default as the alignment of mapping address.
However, some backends may require alignments different than the page
size. For example, mmap a device DAX (e.g., /dev/dax0.0) on Linux
kernel 4.13 to an address, which is 4K-aligned but not 2M-aligned,
fails with a kernel message like
[617494.969768] dax dax0.0: qemu-system-x86: dax_mmap: fail, unaligned vma (0x7fa37c579000 - 0x7fa43c579000, 0x1fffff)
Because there is no common approach to get such alignment requirement,
we add the 'align' option to 'memory-backend-file', so that users or
management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend, can
specify a proper alignment via this option.

When you cancel an in-progress 'mirror' job (or "active `block-commit`")
with QMP `block-job-cancel`, it emits the event: BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED.
However, when `block-job-cancel` is issued *after* `drive-mirror` has
indicated (via the event BLOCK_JOB_READY) that the source and
destination have reached synchronization:
[...] # Snip `drive-mirror` invocation & outputs
{
"execute":"block-job-cancel",
"arguments":{
"device":"virtio0"
}
}
{"return": {}}
It (`block-job-cancel`) will counterintuitively emit the event
'BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED':
{
"timestamp":{
"seconds":1510678024,
"microseconds":526240
},
"event":"BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED",
"data":{
"device":"virtio0",
"len":41126400,
"offset":41126400,
"speed":0,
"type":"mirror"
}
}
But this is expected behaviour, where the _COMPLETED event indicates
that synchronization has successfully ended (and the destination now has
a point-in-time copy, which is at the time of cancel).
So add a small note to this effect in 'block-core.json'. While at it,
also update the "Live disk synchronization -- drive-mirror and
blockdev-mirror" section in 'live-block-operations.rst'.

The issues described in commit 8593898109

This patch switches back to consistently using qemu.org instead of
qemu-project.org in documentation, version.rc, and the Windows installer

Proper support of persistent reservation for multipath devices requires
communication with the multipath daemon, so that the reservation is
registered and applied when a path comes up. The device mapper
utilities provide a library to do so; this patch makes qemu-pr-helper.c
detect multipath devices and, when one is found, delegate the operation
to libmpathpersist.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
Introduce a privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands.
This lets virtual machines send persistent reservations without using
CAP_SYS_RAWIO or out-of-tree patches. The helper uses Unix permissions
and SCM_RIGHTS to restrict access to processes that can access its socket
and prove that they have an open file descriptor for a raw SCSI device.
The next patch will also correct the usage of persistent reservations
with multipath devices.
It would also be possible to support for Linux's IOC_PR_* ioctls in
the future, to support NVMe devices. For now, however, only SCSI is
supported.
Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
It is a common requirement for virtual machine to send persistent
reservations, but this currently requires either running QEMU with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO, or using out-of-tree patches that let an unprivileged
QEMU bypass Linux's filter on SG_IO commands.
As an alternative mechanism, the next patches will introduce a
privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands without
expanding QEMU's attack surface unnecessarily.
The helper is invoked through a "pr-manager" QOM object, to which
file-posix.c passes SG_IO requests for PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT and
PERSISTENT RESERVE IN commands. For example:
$ qemu-system-x86_64
-device virtio-scsi \
-object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock
-drive if=none,id=hd,driver=raw,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0
-device scsi-block,drive=hd
or:
$ qemu-system-x86_64
-device virtio-scsi \
-object pr-manager-helper,id=helper0,path=/var/run/qemu-pr-helper.sock
-blockdev node-name=hd,driver=raw,file.driver=host_device,file.filename=/dev/sdb,file.pr-manager=helper0
-device scsi-block,drive=hd
Multiple pr-manager implementations are conceivable and possible, though
only one is implemented right now. For example, a pr-manager could:
- talk directly to the multipath daemon from a privileged QEMU
(i.e. QEMU links to libmpathpersist); this makes reservation work
properly with multipath, but still requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO
- use the Linux IOC_PR_* ioctls (they require CAP_SYS_ADMIN though)
- more interestingly, implement reservations directly in QEMU
through file system locks or a shared database (e.g. sqlite)

It's possible for address_space_get_flatview() as it currently stands
to cause a use-after-free for the returned FlatView, if the reference
count is incremented after the FlatView has been replaced by a writer:
thread 1 thread 2 RCU thread
-------------------------------------------------------------
rcu_read_lock
read as->current_map
set as->current_map
flatview_unref
'--> call_rcu
flatview_ref
[ref=1]
rcu_read_unlock
flatview_destroy
<badness>
Since FlatViews are not updated very often, we can just detect the
situation using a new atomic op atomic_fetch_inc_nonzero, similar to
Linux's atomic_inc_not_zero, which performs the refcount increment only if
it hasn't already hit zero. This is similar to Linux commit de09a9771a53
("CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead
credentials", 2010-07-29).

Using two libraries (libqemuutil.a and libqemustub.a) would sometimes
result in circular dependencies. To avoid these issues let's just
combine both into a single library that functions as both.

Currently, vhost-user does not implement any means for notifying the
backend about guest endianess. This commit introduces a new message
called VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_ENDIAN which is analogous to the ioctl()
called VHOST_SET_VRING_ENDIAN used for kernel vhost backends. Such
message is necessary for backends supporting legacy (pre-1.0) virtio
devices running in big-endian guests.

Code that checks dstate is unaware of SystemTap and LTTng UST dstate, so
the following trace event will not fire when solely enabled by SystemTap
or LTTng UST:
if (trace_event_get_state(TRACE_MY_EVENT)) {
str = g_strdup_printf("Expensive string to generate ...",
...);
trace_my_event(str);
g_free(str);
}
Add trace_event_get_state_backends() to fetch backend dstate. Those
backends that use QEMU dstate fetch it as part of
generate_h_backend_dstate().
Update existing trace_event_get_state() callers to use
trace_event_get_state_backends() instead.
