This adds the initial set of QMP/QAPI commands provided by the guest agent: guest-sync guest-ping guest-info guest-shutdown guest-file-open guest-file-read guest-file-write guest-file-seek guest-file-flush guest-file-close guest-fsfreeze-freeze guest-fsfreeze-thaw guest-fsfreeze-status The input/output specification for these commands are documented in the schema.

This is the actual guest daemon, it listens for requests over a virtio-serial/isa-serial/unix socket channel and routes them through to dispatch routines, and writes the results back to the channel in a manner similar to QMP. A shorthand invocation: qemu-ga -d Is equivalent to: qemu-ga -m virtio-serial -p /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0 \ -f /var/run/qemu-ga.pid -d Signed-off-by: Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@gmail.com>

2011-07-21Add hard build dependency on glibAnthony Liguori1-0/+2
GLib is an extremely common library that has a portable thread implementation along with tons of other goodies. GLib and GObject have a fantastic amount of infrastructure we can leverage in QEMU including an object oriented programming infrastructure. Short term, it has a very nice thread pool implementation that we could leverage in something like virtio-9p. It also has a test harness implementation that this series will use.

2011-06-14libcacard: add libcacard.la targetAlon Levy1-1/+19
No flag to configure is required. Instead, added a libcacard.la target that is not built by default, only when requested explicitly via: mkdir build cd build ../configure make libcacard.la make install-libcacard Uses libtool to do actual linking of object files and shared library, and installing. Tested only under linux, but supposed to work on other systems as well. If libtool isn't found you get a message complaining about that, only at build time (since it is not a default target I did not add a message at configure time). New build artifacts: .libs subdirectories (at <buildroot> and <buildroot>/libcacard) *.lo files (at same locations as the respective o files) Added %.lo : %.c rule that uses libtool. Updated clean rule to clean up those artifacts. Added specific rule to call dtrace with libtool wrapper (note that because of a current upstream dtrace bug fixed by systemtap b1568fd85 commit the -fPIC flag isn't actually passed on. still current dtrace+libtool produced object links fine). If libtool is missing any of the following targets will complain and exit 1: any subdir: *.lo root and libcacard: libcacard.la, libcacard-instsall Tested to link and load with all tracing backends.

2011-04-01Add SLOF-based partition firmware for pSeries machine, allowing more boot ↵David Gibson1-1/+1
options Currently, the emulated pSeries machine requires the use of the -kernel parameter in order to explicitly load a guest kernel. This means booting from the virtual disk, cdrom or network is not possible. This patch addresses this limitation by inserting a within-partition firmware image (derived from the "SLOF" free Open Firmware project). If -kernel is not specified, qemu will now load the SLOF image, which has access to the qemu boot device list through the device tree, and can boot from any of the usual virtual devices. In order to support the new firmware, an extension to the emulated machine/hypervisor is necessary. Unlike Linux, which expects multi-CPU entry to be handled kexec() style, the SLOF firmware expects only one CPU to be active at entry, and to use a hypervisor RTAS method to enable the other CPUs one by one. This patch also implements this 'start-cpu' method, so that SLOF can start the secondary CPUs and marshal them into the kexec() holding pattern ready for entry into the guest OS. Linux should, and in the future might directly use the start-cpu method to enable initially disabled CPUs, but for now it does require kexec() entry.

2011-04-01Implement hcall based RTAS for pSeries machinesDavid Gibson1-1/+2
On pSeries machines, operating systems can instantiate "RTAS" (Run-Time Abstraction Services), a runtime component of the firmware which implements a number of low-level, infrequently used operations. On logical partitions under a hypervisor, many of the RTAS functions require hypervisor privilege. For simplicity, therefore, hypervisor systems typically implement the in-partition RTAS as just a tiny wrapper around a hypercall which actually implements the various RTAS functions. This patch implements such a hypercall based RTAS for our emulated pSeries machine. A tiny in-partition "firmware" calls a new hypercall, which looks up available RTAS services in a table.

2010-11-21Add a DTrace tracing backend targetted for SystemTAP compatabilityDaniel P. Berrange1-0/+23
This introduces a new tracing backend that targets the SystemTAP implementation of DTrace userspace tracing. The core functionality should be applicable and standard across any DTrace implementation on Solaris, OS-X, *BSD, but the Makefile rules will likely need some small additional changes to cope with OS specific build requirements. This backend builds a little differently from the other tracing backends. Specifically there is no 'trace.c' file, because the 'dtrace' command line tool generates a '.o' file directly from the dtrace probe definition file. The probe definition is usually named with a '.d' extension but QEMU uses '.d' files for its external makefile dependancy tracking, so this uses '.dtrace' as the extension for the probe definition file. The 'tracetool' program gains the ability to generate a trace.h file for DTrace, and also to generate the trace.d file containing the dtrace probe definition. Example usage of a dtrace probe in systemtap looks like: probe process("qemu").mark("qemu_malloc") { printf("Malloc %d %p\n", $arg1, $arg2); } * .gitignore: Ignore trace-dtrace.* * Makefile: Extra rules for generating DTrace files * Makefile.obj: Don't build trace.o for DTrace, use trace-dtrace.o generated by 'dtrace' instead * tracetool: Support for generating DTrace data files Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2010-10-27qemu-options.def: add to generated header listMichael S. Tsirkin1-2/+5
All files include qemu-options.h which pulls in qemu-options.def from the root directory. Thus generating qemu-options.def from Makefile.objs under the target directory is not effective. Further, people expect .def file to get cleaned with make clean: it does not have state so no reason to defer removing it until distclean. Also add a rule to remove old files that might be around. This fixes the error: ‘QEMU_OPTION_spice’ undeclared (first use in this function) error that some people reported which is really down to an out of date .def file. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

It's important to note that QObject handlers entries are going to get duplicated: they will exist in both QMP's and HMP's dispatch tables. This will be fixed in the near future, when we add a proper QMP call interface and HMP is converted to use it. This way we can completely drop QObject handlers entries from HMP's tables.

Add a dependency on $(trace-obj-y) for %-user, as done for the qemu-* tools.

2010-09-09trace: Add trace-events file for declaring trace eventsStefan Hajnoczi1-4/+13
This patch introduces the trace-events file where trace events can be declared like so: qemu_malloc(size_t size) "size %zu" qemu_free(void *ptr) "ptr %p" These trace event declarations are processed by a new tool called tracetool to generate code for the trace events. Trace event declarations are independent of the backend tracing system (LTTng User Space Tracing, ftrace markers, DTrace). The default "nop" backend generates empty trace event functions. Therefore trace events are disabled by default. The trace-events file serves two purposes: 1. Adding trace events is easy. It is not necessary to understand the details of a backend tracing system. The trace-events file is a single location where trace events can be declared without code duplication. 2. QEMU is not tightly coupled to one particular backend tracing system. In order to support tracing across QEMU host platforms and to anticipate new backend tracing systems that are currently maturing, it is important to be flexible and not tied to one system.
