* qga-vss: Use dynamic linking for GLibKostiantyn Kostiuk2021-03-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The current GLib version implements the DllMain function. DllMain is also present in the provider.cpp code. So in the case of static linking, the DllMain redefinition error occurs. For now, just switch to dynamic linking and revert this patch when the issue will be solved.

* qga-win: Fix QGA VSS Provider service stop failureBasil Salman2020-07-141-13/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On one hand "guest-fsfreeze-freeze" command, "COM+ System Application service" is stopped, on the other hand "guest-fsfreeze-thaw" stops QGA VSS Provider service from "COM+ Application Admin Catalog". Invoking a series of freeze and thaw commands may result in QGA failing to stop VSS Provider service as "COM+ System Application service" is stopped, which can cause some delay in qga response. In this commit StopService function was changed and VSS Provider service is now stopped using Winsvc library API.

* build-sys: clean up flags included in the linker command linePaolo Bonzini2020-01-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the CFLAGS that are discovered during configure, for example compiler warnings, are being included on the linker command line because QEMU_CFLAGS is added to it. Other flags, such as the -m32, appear twice because they are included in both QEMU_CFLAGS and LDFLAGS. All this leads to confusion with respect to what goes in which Makefile variables (and we have plenty). So, introduce QEMU_LDFLAGS for flags discovered by configure, following the lead of QEMU_CFLAGS, and stop adding to it: 1) options that are already in CFLAGS, for example "-g" 2) duplicate options At the same time, options that _are_ needed by both compiler and linker must now be added to both QEMU_CFLAGS and QEMU_LDFLAGS, which is clearer. This is mostly -fsanitize options. For now, --extra-cflags has this behavior (but --extra-cxxflags does not). Meson will not include CFLAGS on the linker command line, do the same in our build system as well.

* qga-win: fix VSS build breakage due to unintended gnu99 C++ flagMichael Roth2019-03-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7be41675f7c set -std=gnu99 for C code via QEMU_CFLAGS. Currently we generate a "custom" QEMU_CXXFLAGS for VSS DLL C++ build by filtering out some options from QEMU_CFLAGS and adding some others. Since we don't filter out -std=gnu99 currently this breaks builds when VSS support is enabled. We could keep the existing approach, filter out -std=gnu99 from QEMU_CFLAGS, and add -std=gnu++98, like configure currently does for QEMU_CXXFLAGS, but as it turns out our resulting QEMU_CXXFLAGS would be exactly what configure already generates, just with these filtered out: -fstack-protector-all -fstack-protector-strong and these added: -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-delete-non-virtual-dtor So fix the issue by re-using configure-generated QEMU_CXXFLAGS and just handling these specific changes.

* qga-win: include glib when building VSS DLLMichael Roth2019-03-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3ebee3b191e defined assert() as g_assert(), but when we build the VSS DLL component of QGA (to handle fsfreeze) we do not include glib, which results in breakage when building with VSS support enabled. Fix this by including glib (along with the -lintl and -lws2_32 dependencies it brings). Since the VSS DLL is built statically, this introduces an additional dependency on static glib and supporting libs for the mingw environment (possibly why we didn't include glib originally), but VSS support already has very specific prerequisites so it shouldn't affect too many build environments. Since the VSS DLL code does use qemu/osdep.h, this should also help avoid future breakages and possibly allow for some clean ups in current VSS code. Suggested-by: Daniel P.

* rules.mak: quiet-command: Split command name and args to printPeter Maydell2016-10-061-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The quiet-command make rule currently takes two arguments: the command and arguments to run, and a string to print if the V flag is not set (ie we are not being verbose). By convention, the string printed is of the form " NAME some args". Unfortunately to get nicely lined up output all the strings have to agree about what column the arguments should start in, which means that if we add a new quiet-command usage which wants a slightly longer CMD name then we either put up with misalignment or change every quiet-command string. Split the quiet-mode string into two, the "NAME" and the "same args" part, and use printf(1) to format the string automatically. This means we only need to change one place if we want to support a longer maximum name. In particular, we can now print 7-character names lined up properly (they are needed for the OSX "SETTOOL" invocation). Change all the uses of quiet-command to the new syntax. (Any which are missed or inadvertently reintroduced via later merges will result in slightly misformatted quiet output rather than disaster.) A few places in the pc-bios/ makefiles are updated to use "BUILD", "SIGN" and "STRIP" rather than "Building", "Signing" and "Stripping" for consistency and to keep them below 7 characters. Module .mo links now print "LD" rather than the nonstandard "LD -r".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is particularly useful when we abort in error_propagate(), because there the stack backtrace doesn't lead to where the error was created. Looks like this: Unexpected error in parse_block_error_action() at .../qemu/blockdev.c:322: qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=none,werror=foo: 'foo' invalid write error action Aborted (core dumped) Note: to get this example output, I monkey-patched drive_new() to pass &error_abort to blockdev_init(). To keep the error handling boiler plate from growing even more, all error_setFOO() become macros expanding into error_setFOO_internal() with additional __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__ arguments. Not exactly pretty, but it works. The macro trickery breaks down when you take the address of an error_setFOO(). Fortunately, we do that in just one place: qemu-ga's Windows VSS provider and requester DLL wants to call error_setg_win32() through a function pointer "to avoid linking glib to the DLL". Use error_setg_win32_internal() there. The use of the function pointer is already wrapped in a macro, so the churn isn't bad. Code size increases by some 35KiB for me (0.7%). Tolerable. Could be less if we passed relative rather than absolute source file names to the compiler, or forwent reporting __func__.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | requester.cpp uses this pattern to receive an error and pass it on to the caller (err_is_set() macro peeled off for clarity): ... code that may set errset->errp ... if (errset->errp && *errset->errp) { ... handle error ... } This breaks when errset->errp is null. As far as I can tell, it currently isn't, so this is merely fragile, not actually broken. The robust way to do this is to receive the error in a local variable, then propagate it up, like this: Error *err = NULL; ... code that may set err ... if (err) ... handle error ... error_propagate(errset->errp, err); } See also commit 5e54769, 0f230bf, a903f40.

* qemu-ga: Add Windows VSS provider and requester as DLLTomoki Sekiyama2013-09-099-0/+1715
Adds VSS provider and requester as a qga-vss.dll, which is loaded by Windows VSS service as well as by qemu-ga. "provider.cpp" implements a basic stub of a software VSS provider. Currently, this module only relays a frozen event from VSS service to the agent, and thaw event from the agent to VSS service, to block VSS process to keep the system frozen while snapshots are taken at the host. To register the provider to the guest system as COM+ application, the type library (.tlb) for qga-vss.dll is required. To build it from COM IDL (.idl), VisualC++, MIDL and stdole2.tlb in Windows SDK are required. This patch also adds pre-compiled .tlb file in the repository in order to enable cross-compile qemu-ga.exe for Windows with VSS support. "requester.cpp" provides the VSS requester to kick the VSS snapshot process. Qemu-ga.exe works without the DLL, although fsfreeze features are disabled. These functions are only supported in Windows 2003 or later. In older systems, fsfreeze features are disabled. In several versions of Windows which don't support attribute VSS_VOLSNAP_ATTR_NO_AUTORECOVERY, DoSnapshotSet fails with error VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND. In this patch, we just ignore this error. To solve this fundamentally, we need a framework to handle mount writable snapshot on guests, which is required by VSS auto-recovery feature (cleanup phase after a snapshot is taken).
