QEMU With E2K User Support
8b1170012b
We are going to modify block layer to work with 64bit requests. And first step is moving to int64_t type for both offset and bytes arguments in all block request related functions. It's mostly safe (when widening signed or unsigned int to int64_t), but switching from uint64_t is questionable. So, let's first establish the set of requests we want to work with. First signed int64_t should be enough, as off_t is signed anyway. Then, obviously offset + bytes should not overflow. And most interesting: (offset + bytes) being aligned up should not overflow as well. Aligned to what alignment? First thing that comes in mind is bs->bl.request_alignment, as we align up request to this alignment. But there is another thing: look at bdrv_mark_request_serialising(). It aligns request up to some given alignment. And this parameter may be bdrv_get_cluster_size(), which is often a lot greater than bs->bl.request_alignment. Note also, that bdrv_mark_request_serialising() uses signed int64_t for calculations. So, actually, we already depend on some restrictions. Happily, bdrv_get_cluster_size() returns int and bs->bl.request_alignment has 32bit unsigned type, but defined to be a power of 2 less than INT_MAX. So, we may establish, that INT_MAX is absolute maximum for any kind of alignment that may occur with the request. Note, that bdrv_get_cluster_size() is not documented to return power of 2, still bdrv_mark_request_serialising() behaves like it is. Also, backup uses bdi.cluster_size and is not prepared to it not being power of 2. So, let's establish that Qemu supports only power-of-2 clusters and alignments. So, alignment can't be greater than 2^30. Finally to be safe with calculations, to not calculate different maximums for different nodes (depending on cluster size and request_alignment), let's simply set QEMU_ALIGN_DOWN(INT64_MAX, 2^30) as absolute maximum bytes length for Qemu. Actually, it's not much less than INT64_MAX. OK, then, let's apply it to block/io. Let's consider all block/io entry points of offset/bytes: 4 bytes/offset interface functions: bdrv_co_preadv_part(), bdrv_co_pwritev_part(), bdrv_co_copy_range_internal() and bdrv_co_pdiscard() and we check them all with bdrv_check_request(). We also have one entry point with only offset: bdrv_co_truncate(). Check the offset. And one public structure: BdrvTrackedRequest. Happily, it has only three external users: file-posix.c: adopted by this patch write-threshold.c: only read fields test-write-threshold.c: sets obviously small constant values Better is to make the structure private and add corresponding interfaces.. Still it's not obvious what kind of interface is needed for file-posix.c. Let's keep it public but add corresponding assertions. After this patch we'll convert functions in block/io.c to int64_t bytes and offset parameters. We can assume that offset/bytes pair always satisfy new restrictions, and make corresponding assertions where needed. If we reach some offset/bytes point in block/io.c missing bdrv_check_request() it is considered a bug. As well, if block/io.c modifies a offset/bytes request, expanding it more then aligning up to request_alignment, it's a bug too. For all io requests except for discard we keep for now old restriction of 32bit request length. iotest 206 output error message changed, as now test disk size is larger than new limit. Add one more test case with new maximum disk size to cover too-big-L1 case.

=========== QEMU README =========== QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and virtualizer. QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7 board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board). QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation. QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings. It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API. It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager. QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License, version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file. Building ======== QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are: .. code-block:: shell mkdir build cd build ../configure make Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website: * `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Linux>`_ * `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Mac>`_ * `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/W32>`_ Submitting patches ================== The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system. .. code-block:: shell git clone https://git.qemu.org/git/qemu.git When submitting patches, one common approach is to use 'git format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the guidelines set out in the CODING_STYLE.rst file. Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via the QEMU website * `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_ * `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches>`_ The QEMU website is also maintained under source control. .. code-block:: shell git clone https://git.qemu.org/git/qemu-web.git * `<https://www.qemu.org/2017/02/04/the-new-qemu-website-is-up/>`_ A 'git-publish' utility was created to make above process less cumbersome, and is highly recommended for making regular contributions, or even just for sending consecutive patch series revisions. It also requires a working 'git send-email' setup, and by default doesn't automate everything, so you may want to go through the above steps manually for once. For installation instructions, please go to * `<https://github.com/stefanha/git-publish>`_ The workflow with 'git-publish' is: .. code-block:: shell $ git checkout master -b my-feature $ # work on new commits, add your 'Signed-off-by' lines to each $ git publish Your patch series will be sent and tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer back to it in the future. Sending v2: .. code-block:: shell $ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch $ # making changes to the commits (using 'git rebase', for example) $ git publish Your patch series will be sent with 'v2' tag in the subject and the git tip will be tagged as my-feature-v2. Bug reporting ============= The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources should be reported via: * `<https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/>`_ If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be reported via launchpad. For additional information on bug reporting consult: * `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug>`_ ChangeLog ========= For version history and release notes, please visit `<https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/>`_ or look at the git history for more detailed information. Contact ======= The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two main methods being email and IRC * `<mailto:qemu-devel@nongnu.org>`_ * `<https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel>`_ * #qemu on irc.oftc.net Information on additional methods of contacting the community can be found online via the QEMU website: * `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/StartHere>`_
