|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When trying to remove the -usbdevice option, there were complaints that "-usbdevice braille" is still a very useful shortcut for some people. Thus we never remove this option. Since it's not such a big burden to keep it around, and it's also convenient in the sense that you don't have to worry to enable a host controller explicitly with this option, we should remove it from he deprecation list again. However, there is one exception: "-usbdevice audio" should go away, since audio devices without "audiodev=..." parameter are also on the deprecation list and you cannot use "-usbdevice audio" with "audiodev".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Supporting '0x20M' looks odd, particularly since we have a 'B' suffix that is ambiguous for bytes, as well as a less-frequently-used 'E' suffix for extremely large exibytes. In practice, people using hex inputs are specifying values in bytes (and would have written 0x2000000, or possibly relied on default_suffix in the case of qemu_strtosz_MiB), and the use of scaling suffixes makes the most sense for inputs in decimal (where the user would write 32M). But rather than outright dropping support for hex-with-suffix, let's follow our deprecation policy. Sadly, since qemu_strtosz() does not have an Err** parameter, and plumbing that in would be a much larger task, we instead go with just directly emitting the deprecation warning to stderr.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The -enable-fips option was added a long time ago to prevent the use of single DES when VNC when FIPS mode is enabled. It should never have been added, because apps are supposed to unconditionally honour FIPS mode based on the '/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled' file contents. In addition there is more to achieving FIPS compliance than merely blocking use of certain algorithms. Those algorithms which are used need to perform self-tests at runtime. QEMU's built-in cryptography provider has no support for self-tests, and neither does the nettle library. If QEMU is required to be used in a FIPS enabled host, then it must be built with the libgcrypt library enabled, which will unconditionally enforce FIPS compliance in any algorithm usage. Thus there is no need to keep either the -enable-fips option in QEMU, or QEMU's internal FIPS checking methods.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Options such as "server" or "nowait", that are commonly found in -chardev, are sugar for "server=on" and "wait=off". This is quite surprising and also does not have any notion of typing attached. It is even possible to do "-device e1000,noid" and get a device with "id=off". Deprecate it and print a warning when it is encountered. In general, this short form for boolean options only seems to be in wide use for -chardev and -spice.

* target/ppc: Remove "compat" property of server class POWER CPUsGreg Kurz2020-12-141-7/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This property has been deprecated since QEMU 5.0 by commit 22062e54bb68. We only kept a legacy hack that internally converts "compat" into the official "max-cpu-compat" property of the pseries machine type. According to our deprecation policy, we could have removed it for QEMU 5.2 already. Do it now ; since ppc_cpu_parse_featurestr() now just calls the generic parent_parse_features handler, drop it as well. Users are supposed to use the "max-cpu-compat" property of the pseries machine type instead.

* docs/system: Deprecate raspi2/raspi3 machine aliasesPhilippe Mathieu-Daudé2020-11-231-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit aa35ec2213b ("hw/arm/raspi: Use more specific machine names") the raspi2/raspi3 machines have been renamed as raspi2b/raspi3b. Note, rather than the raspi3b, the raspi3ap introduced in commit 5be94252d34 ("hw/arm/raspi: Add the Raspberry Pi 3 model A+") is a closer match to what QEMU models, but only provides 512 MB of RAM. As more Raspberry Pi 2/3 models are emulated, in order to avoid confusion, deprecate the raspi2/raspi3 machine aliases.

* target/mips: Deprecate nanoMIPS ISAPhilippe Mathieu-Daudé2020-11-091-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nanoMIPS ISA has been announced in 2018 for various projects: GCC: https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc/2018-05/msg00012.html Linux: https://lwn.net/Articles/753605/ QEMU: https://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg530721.html Unfortunately the links referenced doesn't work anymore (www.mips.com). From this Wayback machine link [1] we can get to a working place to download a toolchain (a more recent release than the one referenced in the announcement mails): http://codescape.mips.com/components/toolchain/nanomips/2018.04-02/downloads.html The toolchain page mention LLVM but simply links http://llvm.org/ where there is no reference on nanoMIPS. The only reference in the GCC mailing list, is the nanoMIPS announcement: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2018-May.txt The developer who authored the announcements have been emailed [2] to ask for more information but all their emails are now bouncing: - Your message to Stefan.Markovic@mips.com couldn't be delivered. - Your message to smarkovic@wavecomp.com couldn't be delivered. - Couldn't deliver the message to the following recipients: Robert.Suchanek@mips.com, matthew.fortune@mips.com, marcin.nowakowski@mips.com Our deprecation policy do not allow feature removal before 2 release, therefore declare the nanoMIPS ISA code deprecated as of QEMU 5.2. This gives time to developers to update the QEMU community, or interested parties to step in to maintain this code.

* hw/mips: Remove the 'r4k' machinePhilippe Mathieu-Daudé2020-11-031-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We deprecated the support for the 'r4k' machine for the 5.0 release (commit d32dc61421), which means that our deprecation policy allows us to drop it in release 5.2. Remove the code. To repeat the rationale from the deprecation note: - this virtual machine has no specification - the Linux kernel dropped support for it 10 years ago Users are recommended to use the Malta board instead.

* nbd: Update qapi to support exporting multiple bitmapsEric Blake2020-10-301-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 'block-export-add' is new to 5.2, we can still tweak the interface; there, allowing 'bitmaps':['str'] is nicer than 'bitmap':'str'. This wires up the qapi and qemu-nbd changes to permit passing multiple bitmaps as distinct metadata contexts that the NBD client may request, but the actual support for more than one will require a further patch to the server. Note that there are no changes made to the existing deprecated 'nbd-server-add' command; this required splitting the QAPI type BlockExportOptionsNbd, which fortunately does not affect QMP introspection.
