* pci-testdev: add optional memory barGerd Hoffmann2018-11-051-5/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add memory bar to pci-testdev. Size is configurable using the membar property. Setting the size to zero (default) turns it off. Can be used to check whether guests handle large pci bars correctly.

* display/stdvga: add edid support.Gerd Hoffmann2018-09-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds edid support to the qemu stdvga. It is turned off by default and can be enabled with the new edid property. The patch also adds xres and yres properties to specify the video mode you want the guest use. Works only with edid enabled and updated guest driver. The mmio bar of the stdvga has some unused address space at the start. It was reserved just in case it'll be needed for virtio, but it turned out to not be needed for that. So let's use that region to place the EDID data block there. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Message-id: 20180925075646.25114-6-kraxel@redhat.com

* fw-cfg: bump "x-file-slots" to 0x20 for 2.9+ machine typesLaszlo Ersek2017-01-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | More precisely, the "x-file-slots" count is bumped for all machine types that: (a) use fw_cfg, and (b) are not versioned (hence migration is not expected to work for them across QEMU releases anyway), or have version 2.9. This affects machine types implemented in the following source files: - "hw/arm/virt.c". The "virt-*" machine type is versioned, and the <= 2.8 versions already depend on HW_COMPAT_2_8 (see commit e353aac51b944). Therefore adding the "x-file-slots" compat values to HW_COMPAT_2_8 suffices. - "hw/i386/pc.c". The "pc-i440fx-*" (including "pc-*") and "pc-q35-*" machine types are versioned. Modifying HW_COMPAT_2_8 is sufficient here too (see commit "pc: Add 2.9 machine-types"). The "isapc" machtype is not versioned. The "xenfv" machine type, which uses fw_cfg for direct kernel booting, is also not versioned. - "hw/ppc/mac_newworld.c". The "mac99" machine type is not versioned. - "hw/ppc/mac_oldworld.c". The "g3beige" machine type is not versioned. - "hw/sparc/sun4m.c". None of the 9 machine types defined in this file appear versioned. - "hw/sparc64/sun4u.c". None of the 3 machine types defined in this file appear versioned. Cc: "Gabriel L. Somlo" <somlo@cmu.edu> Cc: "Michael S.

* fw-cfg: turn FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS into a device propertyLaszlo Ersek2017-01-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We'd like to raise the value of FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS. Doing it naively could lead to problems with backward migration: a more recent QEMU (running an older machine type) would allow the guest, in fw_cfg_select(), to select a high key value that is unavailable in the same machine type implemented by the older (target) QEMU. On the target host, fw_cfg_data_read() for example could dereference nonexistent entries. As first step, size the FWCfgState.entries[*] and FWCfgState.entry_order arrays dynamically. All three array sizes will be influenced by the new field FWCfgState.file_slots (and matching device property). Make the following changes: - Replace the FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS macro with FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS_MIN (minimum count of fw_cfg file slots) in the header file. The value remains 0x10. - Replace all uses of FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS with a helper function called fw_cfg_file_slots(), returning the new property. - Eliminate the macro FW_CFG_MAX_ENTRY, and replace all its uses with a helper function called fw_cfg_max_entry(). - In the MMIO- and IO-mapped realize functions both, allocate all three arrays dynamically, based on the new property. - The new property defaults to FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS_MIN. This is going to be customized in the following patches. Cc: "Gabriel L. Somlo" <somlo@cmu.edu> Cc: "Michael S.

* fw_cfg: Adopt /opt/RFQDN conventionMarkus Armbruster2016-04-191-19/+17Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FW CFG's primary user is QEMU, which uses it to expose configuration information (in the widest sense) to Firmware. Thus the name FW CFG. FW CFG can also be used by others for their own purposes. QEMU is merely acting as transport then. Names starting with opt/ are reserved for such uses. There is no provision, however, to guide safe sharing among different such users. Fix that, loosely following QMP precedence: names should start with opt/RFQDN/, where RFQDN is a reverse fully qualified domain name you control. Based on a more ambitious patch from Michael Tsirkin.

* ivshmem: Require master to have ID zeroMarkus Armbruster2016-03-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Migration with ivshmem needs to be carefully orchestrated to work. Exactly one peer (the "master") migrates to the destination, all other peers need to unplug (and disconnect), migrate, plug back (and reconnect). This is sort of documented in qemu-doc. If peers connect on the destination before migration completes, the shared memory can get messed up. This isn't documented anywhere. Fix that in qemu-doc. To avoid messing up register IVPosition on migration, the server must assign the same ID on source and destination. ivshmem-spec.txt leaves ID assignment unspecified, however. Amend ivshmem-spec.txt to require the first client to receive ID zero. The example ivshmem-server complies: it always assigns the first unused ID. For a bit of additional safety, enforce ID zero for the master. This does nothing when we're not using a server, because the ID is zero for all peers then.

* ivshmem: Split ivshmem-plain, ivshmem-doorbell off ivshmemMarkus Armbruster2016-03-211-31/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ivshmem can be configured with and without interrupt capability (a.k.a. "doorbell"). The two configurations have largely disjoint options, which makes for a confusing (and badly checked) user interface. Moreover, the device can't tell the guest whether its doorbell is enabled. Create two new device models ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, and deprecate the old one. Changes from ivshmem: * PCI revision is 1 instead of 0. The new revision is fully backwards compatible for guests. Guests may elect to require at least revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny "no shared memory, yet" state. * Property "role" replaced by "master". role=master becomes master=on, role=peer becomes master=off. Default is off instead of auto. * Property "use64" is gone. The new devices always have 64 bit BARs. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-plain: * The Interrupt Pin register in PCI config space is zero (does not use an interrupt pin) instead of one (uses INTA). * Property "x-memdev" is renamed to "memdev". * Properties "shm" and "size" are gone. Use property "memdev" instead. * Property "msi" is gone. The new device can't have MSI-X capability. It can't interrupt anyway. * Properties "ioeventfd" and "vectors" are gone. They're meaningless without interrupts anyway. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell: * Property "msi" is gone. The new device always has MSI-X capability. * Property "ioeventfd" defaults to on instead of off. * Property "size" is gone. The new device can only map all the shared memory received from the server. Guests can easily find out whether the device is configured for interrupts by checking for MSI-X capability. Note: some code added in sub-optimal places to make the diff easier to review. The next commit will move it to more sensible places.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Yes, the chardev is commonly useless after we read a bad version from it, but destroying it is inappropriate anyway: the user created it, so the user should be able to hold on to it as long as he likes. We don't destroy it on other errors. Screwed up in commit 5105b1d. Stop reading instead. Also note QEMU's behavior in ivshmem-spec.txt.

* ivshmem: Rewrite specification documentMarkus Armbruster2016-03-212-161/+243
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This started as an attempt to update ivshmem_device_spec.txt for clarity, accuracy and completeness while working on its code, and quickly became a full rewrite. Since the diff would be useless anyway, I'm using the opportunity to rename the file to ivshmem-spec.txt. I tried hard to ensure the new text contradicts neither the old text nor the code. If the new text contradicts the old text but not the code, it's probably a bug in the old text. If the new text contradicts both, its probably a bug in the new text.

* spec: add qcow2 bitmaps extension specificationVladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy2016-02-221-1/+220
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new feature for qcow2: storing bitmaps. This patch adds new header extension to qcow2 - Bitmaps Extension. It provides an ability to store virtual disk related bitmaps in a qcow2 image. For now there is only one type of such bitmaps: Dirty Tracking Bitmap, which just tracks virtual disk changes from some moment. Note: Only bitmaps, relative to the virtual disk, stored in qcow2 file, should be stored in this qcow2 file. The size of each bitmap (considering its granularity) is equal to virtual disk size.
