Daniel P. Berrangé 2c7e82a307 docs: recommend use of md-clear feature on all Intel CPUs
Update x86 CPU model guidance to recommend that the md-clear feature is
manually enabled with all Intel CPU models, when supported by the host
microcode.

Thomas Huth bb768f71eb Makefile: Fix inclusion of the config-devices.mak.d Kconfig dependencies
The Makefile tries to include device Kconfig dependencies via

 -include $(SUBDIR_DEVICES_MAK_DEP)

and thus expects files that match *-softmmu/config-devices.mak.d ...
however, the minikconf script currently generates files a la
"*-softmmu-config.devices.mak.d" instead, so the dependency files
simply got ignored so far. For example, after a "touch hw/arm/Kconfig",
the arm-softmmu/config-devices.mak file is currently not re-generated.
Fix it by putting the dependency files in the *-softmmu folders now.

Stefan Hajnoczi e84125761f docs: add Security chapter to the documentation
This new chapter in the QEMU documentation covers the security
requirements that QEMU is designed to meet and principles for securely
deploying QEMU.

It is just a starting point that can be extended in the future with more
information.

Stefan Hajnoczi e9d95d0163 docs: add Secure Coding Practices to developer docs
At KVM Forum 2018 I gave a presentation on security in QEMU:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAdRf_hwxU8 (video)
https://vmsplice.net/~stefan/stefanha-kvm-forum-2018.pdf (slides)

This patch adds a guide to secure coding practices.  This document
covers things that developers should know about security in QEMU.  It is
just a starting point that we can expand on later.  I hope it will be
useful as a resource for new contributors and will save code reviewers
from explaining the same concepts many times.

Cleber Rosa b910545fbf tests/acceptance: look for target architecture in test tags first
A test can, optionally, be tagged for one or many architectures.  If a
test has been tagged for a single architecture, there's a high chance
that the test won't run on other architectures.  This changes the
default order of choosing a default target architecture to use based
on the 'arch' tag value first.

The precedence order is for choosing a QEMU binary to use for a test
is now:

 * qemu_bin parameter
 * arch parameter
 * arch tag value (for example, x86_64 if "🥑 tags=arch:x86_64
   is used)

This means that if one runs:

 $ avocado run -p qemu_bin=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 test.py

No arch parameter or tag will influence the selection of the QEMU
target binary.  If one runs:

 $ avocado run -p arch=ppc64 test.py

The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64".  And finally, if one runs
a test that is tagged (in its docstring) with "arch:aarch64":

 $ avocado run aarch64.py

The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64".

At this time, no provision is made to cancel the execution of tests if
the arch parameter given (manually) does not match the test "arch"
tag, but it may be a useful default behavior to be added in the
future.

Cleber Rosa 2c44d68f2b tests/acceptance: introduce arch parameter and attribute
It's useful to define the architecture that should be used in
situations such as:
 * the intended target of the QEMU binary to be used on tests
 * the architecture of code to be run within the QEMU binary, such
   as a kernel image or a full blown guest OS image

This commit introduces both a test parameter and a test instance
attribute, that will contain such a value.

Now, when the "arch" test parameter is given, it will influence the
selection of the default QEMU binary, if one is not given explicitly
by means of the "qemu_img" parameter.

Cleber Rosa 805fac5272 tests/acceptance: fix doc reference to avocado_qemu directory
The "this directory" reference is misleading and confusing, it's a
leftover from when this text was proposed in a README file inside
the "tests/acceptance/avocado_qemu" directory.

When that text was moved to the top level docs directory, the
reference was not updated.

John Snow 90edef80a0 docs/interop/bitmaps: rewrite and modernize doc
This just about rewrites the entirety of the bitmaps.rst document to
make it consistent with the 4.0 release. I have added new features seen
in the 4.0 release, as well as tried to clarify some points that keep
coming up when discussing this feature both in-house and upstream.

It does not yet cover pull backups or migration details, but I intend to
keep extending this document to cover those cases.

Zhang Yi 119906afa5 util/mmap-alloc: support MAP_SYNC in qemu_ram_mmap()
When a file supporting DAX is used as vNVDIMM backend, mmap it with
MAP_SYNC flag in addition which can ensure file system metadata
synced in each guest writes to the backend file, without other QEMU
actions (e.g., periodic fsync() by QEMU).

Current, We have below different possible use cases:

1. pmem=on is set, shared=on is set, MAP_SYNC supported:
   a: backend is a dax supporting file.
    - MAP_SYNC will active.
   b: backend is not a dax supporting file.
    - mmap will trigger a warning. then MAP_SYNC flag will be ignored

2. The rest of cases:
   - we will never pass the MAP_SYNC to mmap2

The docs currently say that the spec-ctrl feature is needed for both
Spectre variants, but it is only used to address Spectre v2. Also
remove the note about retpolines. The guest OS is usually treated
as a blackbox from host mgmt pov, so it won't have knowledge about
use of retpolines and thus should unconditionally expose spec-ctrl,
allowing the guest to decide whether to use it or not.

Xie Yongji 5ad204bf2a vhost-user: Support transferring inflight buffer between qemu and backend
This patch introduces two new messages VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD
and VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD to support transferring a shared
buffer between qemu and backend.

Firstly, qemu uses VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD to get the
shared buffer from backend. Then qemu should send it back
through VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD each time we start vhost-user.

This shared buffer is used to track inflight I/O by backend.
Qemu should retrieve a new one when vm reset.

Alberto Garcia af39bd0d9a qcow2: Default to 4KB for the qcow2 cache entry size
QEMU 2.12 (commit 1221fe6f63) introduced
a new setting called l2-cache-entry-size that allows making entries on
the qcow2 L2 cache smaller than the cluster size.

I have been performing several tests with different cluster and entry
sizes and all of them show that reducing the entry size (aka L2 slice)
consistently improves I/O performance, notably during random I/O (all
tests done with sequential I/O show similar results). This is to be
expected because loading and evicting an L2 slice is more expensive
the larger the slice is.

Here are some numbers on fully populated 40GB qcow2 images. The
rightmost column represents the maximum L2 cache size in both cases.

   Cluster size = 64 KB
   |-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------|
   |             | 1MB L2 cache | 3MB L2 cache | 5MB L2 cache |
   |-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------|
   |  4KB slices |    6545 IOPS |   12045 IOPS |   55680 IOPS |
   | 16KB slices |    5177 IOPS |    9798 IOPS |   56278 IOPS |
   | 64KB slices |    2718 IOPS |    5326 IOPS |   57355 IOPS |
   |-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------|

   Cluster size = 256 KB
   |--------------+----------------+--------------+-----------------|
   |              | 512KB L2 cache | 1MB L2 cache | 1280KB L2 cache |
   |--------------+----------------+--------------+-----------------|
   |   4KB slices |      8539 IOPS |   21071 IOPS |      55417 IOPS |
   |  64KB slices |      3598 IOPS |    9772 IOPS |      57687 IOPS |
   | 256KB slices |      1415 IOPS |    4120 IOPS |      58001 IOPS |
   |--------------+----------------+--------------+-----------------|

As can be seen in the numbers, the only exception to the rule is when
the cache is large enough to hold all L2 tables. This is also to be
expected because in this case no cache entry is ever evicted so
reducing its size doesn't bring any benefit.

This patch sets the default L2 cache entry size to 4KB except when the
cache is large enough for the whole disk.

Paolo Bonzini 7c28b925b7 build: convert pci.mak to Kconfig
Instead of including the same list of devices for each target,
set CONFIG_PCI to true, and make the devices default to present
whenever PCI is available.  However, s390x does not want all the
PCI devices, so there is a separate symbol to enable them.

Done mostly with the following script:

  while read i; do
     i=${i%=y}; i=${i#CONFIG_}
     sed -i -e'/^config '$i'$/!b' -en \
            -e'a\' -e'    default y if PCI_DEVICES\' -e'    depends on PCI' \
          `grep -lw $i hw/*/Kconfig`
  done < default-configs/pci.mak

followed by replacing a few "depends on" clauses with "select"
whenever the symbol is not really related to PCI.

Peter Maydell f8cf7147f1 docs: Provide separate conf.py for each manual we want
By default Sphinx wants to build a single manual at once.
For QEMU, this doesn't suit us, because we want to have
separate manuals for "Developer's Guide", "User Manual",
and so on, and we don't want to ship the Developer's Guide
to end-users. However, we don't want to completely duplicate
conf.py for each manual, and we'd like to continue to
support "build all docs in one run" for third-party sites
like readthedocs.org.

Make the top-level conf.py support two usage forms:
 (1) as a common config file which is included by the conf.py
 for each of QEMU's manuals: in this case sphinx-build is run
 multiple times, once per subdirectory.
 (2) as a top level conf file which will result in building all
 the manuals into a single document: in this case sphinx-build is
 run once, on the top-level docs directory.

Provide per-manual conf.py files and top level pages for
our first two manuals:
 * QEMU Developer's Guide (docs/devel)
 * QEMU System Emulation Management and Interoperability Guide
   (docs/interop)

Caio Carrara b7287d4283 tests.acceptance: adds multi vm capability for acceptance tests
This change adds the possibility to write acceptance tests with multi
virtual machine support. It's done keeping the virtual machines objects
stored in a test attribute (dictionary). This dictionary shouldn't be
accessed directly but through the new method added `get_vm`. This new
method accept a list of args (that will be added as virtual machine
arguments) and an optional name argument. The name is the key that
identify a single virtual machine along the test machines available. If
a name without a machine is informed a new machine will be instantiated.

The current usage of vm in tests will not be broken by this change since
it keeps a property called vm in the base test class. This property only
calls the new method `get_vm` with default parameters (no args and
'default' as machine name).

Cleber Rosa 9531d26c10 Acceptance tests: drop usage of "🥑 enable"
The Avocado test runner attemps to find its INSTRUMENTED (that is,
Python based tests) in a manner that is as safe as possible to the
user.  Different from plain Python unittest, it won't load or
execute test code on an operation such as:

 $ avocado list tests/acceptance/

Before version 68.0, the logic implemented to identify INSTRUMENTED
tests would require either the "🥑 enable" or "🥑
recursive" statement as a flag for tests that would not inherit
directly from "avocado.Test".  This is not necessary anymore,
and because of that the boiler plate statements can now be removed.

Markus Armbruster 5d75648b56 qapi: Generate QAPIEvent stuff into separate files
Having to include qapi-events.h just for QAPIEvent is suboptimal, but
quite tolerable now.  It'll become problematic when we have events
conditional on the target, because then qapi-events.h won't be usable
from target-independent code anymore.  Avoid that by generating it
into separate files.

Murilo Opsfelder Araujo 29c33cc107 docs/devel/testing: Add -a option to usermod command on docker setup
The option -G of usermod command will remove user from other groups
not listed, i.e.: $USER will belong only to group 'docker' after
following the documentation as is.

From usermod(8) manual page:

    If the user is currently a member of a group which is not listed,
    the user will be removed from the group. This behaviour can be
    changed via the -a option, which appends the user to the current
    supplementary group list.

This patch improves the situation by adding the -a option to the
usermod command, which will just append user to the supplementary
group list.
