Richard W.M. Jones 9a2d462e7b block: ssh: Use libssh2_sftp_fsync (if supported by libssh2) to flush to disk.
libssh2_sftp_fsync is an extension to libssh2 to support fsync(2) over
sftp, which is itself an extension of OpenSSH.

If both libssh2 and the ssh daemon support it, this will allow
bdrv_flush_to_disk to commit changes through to disk on the remote
server.

Richard W.M. Jones 0a12ec87a5 block: Add support for Secure Shell (ssh) block device.
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=ssh://hostname/some/image

QEMU will ssh into 'hostname' and open '/some/image' which is made
available as a standard block device.

You can specify a username (ssh://user@host/...) and/or a port number
(ssh://host:port/...).  You can also use an alternate syntax using
properties (file.user, file.host, file.port, file.path).

Current limitations:

- Authentication must be done without passwords or passphrases, using
  ssh-agent.  Other authentication methods are not supported.

- Uses a single connection, instead of concurrent AIO with multiple
  SSH connections.

This is implemented using libssh2 on the client side.  The server just
requires a regular ssh daemon with sftp-server support.  Most ssh
daemons on Unix/Linux systems will work out of the box.

Peter Maydell 989b697ddd qemu-log: default to stderr for logging output
Switch the default for qemu_log logging output from "/tmp/qemu.log"
to stderr. This is an incompatible change in some sense, but logging
is mostly used for debugging purposes so it shouldn't affect production
use. The previous behaviour can be obtained by adding "-D /tmp/qemu.log"
to the command line.

This change requires us to:
 * update all the documentation/help text (we take the opportunity
   to smooth out minor inconsistencies between the phrasing in
   linux-user/bsd-user/system help messages)
 * make linux-user and bsd-user defer to qemu-log for the default
   logging destination rather than overriding it themselves
 * ensure that all logfile closing is done via qemu_log_close()
   and that that function doesn't close stderr
as well as the obvious change to the behaviour of do_qemu_set_log()
when no logfile name has been specified.

Ronnie Sahlberg 31459f463a iscsi: Pick default initiator-name based on the name of the VM
This patch updates the iscsi layer to automatically pick a 'unique'
initiator-name based on the name of the vm in case the user has not set
an explicit iqn-name to use.

Create a new function qemu_get_vm_name() that returns the name of the VM,
if specified.

This way we can thus create default names to use as the initiator name
based on the guest session.

If the VM is not named via the '-name' command line argument, the iscsi
initiator-name used wiull simply be

    iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm

If a name for the VM was specified with the '-name' option, iscsi will
use a default initiatorname of

    iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm:<name>

These names are just the default iscsi initiator name that qemu will
generate/use only when the user has not set an explicit initiator name
via the commandlines or config files.

Paul Moore 0f66998ff6 vnc: disable VNC password authentication (security type 2) when in FIPS mode
FIPS 140-2 requires disabling certain ciphers, including DES, which is used
by VNC to obscure passwords when they are sent over the network.  The
solution for FIPS users is to disable the use of VNC password auth when the
host system is operating in FIPS compliance mode and the user has specified
'-enable-fips' on the QEMU command line.

This patch causes QEMU to emit a message to stderr when the host system is
running in FIPS mode and a VNC password was specified on the commend line.
If the system is not running in FIPS mode, or is running in FIPS mode but
VNC password authentication was not requested, QEMU operates normally.

Peter Maydell c8057f951d Support 'help' as a synonym for '?' in command line options
For command line options which permit '?' meaning 'please list the
permitted values', add support for 'help' as a synonym, by abstracting
the check out into a helper function.

This change means that in some cases where we were being lazy in
our string parsing, "?junk" will now be rejected as an invalid option
rather than being (undocumentedly) treated the same way as "?".

Update the documentation to use 'help' rather than '?', since '?'
is a shell metacharacter and thus prone to fail confusingly if there
is a single character filename in the current working directory and
the '?' has not been escaped. It's therefore better to steer users
towards 'help', though '?' is retained for backwards compatibility.

We do not, however, update the output of the system emulator's -help
(or any documentation autogenerated from the qemu-options.hx which
is the source of the -help text) because libvirt parses our -help
output and will break. At a later date when QEMU provides a better
interface so libvirt can avoid having to do this, we can update the
-help text too.

Ronnie Sahlberg f9dadc9855 iSCSI: add configuration variables for iSCSI
This patch adds configuration variables for iSCSI to set
initiator-name to use when logging in to the target,
which type of header-digest to negotiate with the target
and username and password for CHAP authentication.

This allows specifying a initiator-name either from the command line
-iscsi initiator-name=iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
or from a configuration file included with -readconfig
    [iscsi]
      initiator-name = iqn.2004-01.com.example:test
      header-digest = CRC32C|CRC32C-NONE|NONE-CRC32C|NONE
      user = CHAP username
      password = CHAP password

If you use several different targets, you can also configure this on a per
target basis by using a group name:
    [iscsi "iqn.target.name"]
    ...

The configuration file can be read using -readconfig.
Example :
qemu-system-i386 -drive file=iscsi://127.0.0.1/iqn.ronnie.test/1
 -readconfig iscsi.conf
