2017-01-18fw-cfg: bump "x-file-slots" to 0x20 for 2.9+ machine typesLaszlo Ersek1-2/+2
More precisely, the "x-file-slots" count is bumped for all machine types that: (a) use fw_cfg, and (b) are not versioned (hence migration is not expected to work for them across QEMU releases anyway), or have version 2.9. This affects machine types implemented in the following source files: - "hw/arm/virt.c". The "virt-*" machine type is versioned, and the <= 2.8 versions already depend on HW_COMPAT_2_8 (see commit e353aac51b944). Therefore adding the "x-file-slots" compat values to HW_COMPAT_2_8 suffices. - "hw/i386/pc.c". The "pc-i440fx-*" (including "pc-*") and "pc-q35-*" machine types are versioned. Modifying HW_COMPAT_2_8 is sufficient here too (see commit "pc: Add 2.9 machine-types"). The "isapc" machtype is not versioned. The "xenfv" machine type, which uses fw_cfg for direct kernel booting, is also not versioned. - "hw/ppc/mac_newworld.c". The "mac99" machine type is not versioned. - "hw/ppc/mac_oldworld.c". The "g3beige" machine type is not versioned. - "hw/sparc/sun4m.c". None of the 9 machine types defined in this file appear versioned. - "hw/sparc64/sun4u.c". None of the 3 machine types defined in this file appear versioned. Cc: "Gabriel L. Somlo" <somlo@cmu.edu> Cc: "Michael S.

2017-01-18fw-cfg: turn FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS into a device propertyLaszlo Ersek1-1/+1
We'd like to raise the value of FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS. Doing it naively could lead to problems with backward migration: a more recent QEMU (running an older machine type) would allow the guest, in fw_cfg_select(), to select a high key value that is unavailable in the same machine type implemented by the older (target) QEMU. On the target host, fw_cfg_data_read() for example could dereference nonexistent entries. As first step, size the FWCfgState.entries[*] and FWCfgState.entry_order arrays dynamically. All three array sizes will be influenced by the new field FWCfgState.file_slots (and matching device property). Make the following changes: - Replace the FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS macro with FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS_MIN (minimum count of fw_cfg file slots) in the header file. The value remains 0x10. - Replace all uses of FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS with a helper function called fw_cfg_file_slots(), returning the new property. - Eliminate the macro FW_CFG_MAX_ENTRY, and replace all its uses with a helper function called fw_cfg_max_entry(). - In the MMIO- and IO-mapped realize functions both, allocate all three arrays dynamically, based on the new property. - The new property defaults to FW_CFG_FILE_SLOTS_MIN. This is going to be customized in the following patches. Cc: "Gabriel L. Somlo" <somlo@cmu.edu> Cc: "Michael S.

2016-04-19fw_cfg: Adopt /opt/RFQDN conventionMarkus Armbruster1-19/+17
FW CFG's primary user is QEMU, which uses it to expose configuration information (in the widest sense) to Firmware. Thus the name FW CFG. FW CFG can also be used by others for their own purposes. QEMU is merely acting as transport then. Names starting with opt/ are reserved for such uses. There is no provision, however, to guide safe sharing among different such users. Fix that, loosely following QMP precedence: names should start with opt/RFQDN/, where RFQDN is a reverse fully qualified domain name you control. Based on a more ambitious patch from Michael Tsirkin.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Require master to have ID zeroMarkus Armbruster1-0/+2
Migration with ivshmem needs to be carefully orchestrated to work. Exactly one peer (the "master") migrates to the destination, all other peers need to unplug (and disconnect), migrate, plug back (and reconnect). This is sort of documented in qemu-doc. If peers connect on the destination before migration completes, the shared memory can get messed up. This isn't documented anywhere. Fix that in qemu-doc. To avoid messing up register IVPosition on migration, the server must assign the same ID on source and destination. ivshmem-spec.txt leaves ID assignment unspecified, however. Amend ivshmem-spec.txt to require the first client to receive ID zero. The example ivshmem-server complies: it always assigns the first unused ID. For a bit of additional safety, enforce ID zero for the master. This does nothing when we're not using a server, because the ID is zero for all peers then.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Split ivshmem-plain, ivshmem-doorbell off ivshmemMarkus Armbruster1-31/+35
ivshmem can be configured with and without interrupt capability (a.k.a. "doorbell"). The two configurations have largely disjoint options, which makes for a confusing (and badly checked) user interface. Moreover, the device can't tell the guest whether its doorbell is enabled. Create two new device models ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, and deprecate the old one. Changes from ivshmem: * PCI revision is 1 instead of 0. The new revision is fully backwards compatible for guests. Guests may elect to require at least revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny "no shared memory, yet" state. * Property "role" replaced by "master". role=master becomes master=on, role=peer becomes master=off. Default is off instead of auto. * Property "use64" is gone. The new devices always have 64 bit BARs. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-plain: * The Interrupt Pin register in PCI config space is zero (does not use an interrupt pin) instead of one (uses INTA). * Property "x-memdev" is renamed to "memdev". * Properties "shm" and "size" are gone. Use property "memdev" instead. * Property "msi" is gone. The new device can't have MSI-X capability. It can't interrupt anyway. * Properties "ioeventfd" and "vectors" are gone. They're meaningless without interrupts anyway. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell: * Property "msi" is gone. The new device always has MSI-X capability. * Property "ioeventfd" defaults to on instead of off. * Property "size" is gone. The new device can only map all the shared memory received from the server. Guests can easily find out whether the device is configured for interrupts by checking for MSI-X capability. Note: some code added in sub-optimal places to make the diff easier to review. The next commit will move it to more sensible places.

2015-10-22vhost user: add rarp sending after live migration for legacy guestThibaut Collet1-0/+15
A new vhost user message is added to allow QEMU to ask to vhost user backend to broadcast a fake RARP after live migration for guest without GUEST_ANNOUNCE capability. This new message is sent only if the backend supports the new VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_RARP protocol feature. The payload of this new message is the MAC address of the guest (not known by the backend). The MAC address is copied in the first 6 bytes of a u64 to avoid to create a new payload message type. This new message has no equivalent ioctl so a new callback is added in the userOps structure to send the request. Upon reception of this new message the vhost user backend must generate and broadcast a fake RARP request to notify the migration is terminated.

2015-09-24vhost-user: add multiple queue supportChangchun Ouyang1-0/+15
This patch is initially based a patch from Nikolay Nikolaev. This patch adds vhost-user multiple queue support, by creating a nc and vhost_net pair for each queue. Qemu exits if find that the backend can't support the number of requested queues (by providing queues=# option). The max number is queried by a new message, VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM, and is sent only when protocol feature VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ is present first. The max queue check is done at vhost-user initiation stage. We initiate one queue first, which, in the meantime, also gets the max_queues the backend supports. In older version, it was reported that some messages are sent more times than necessary. Here we came an agreement with Michael that we could categorize vhost user messages to 2 types: non-vring specific messages, which should be sent only once, and vring specific messages, which should be sent per queue. Here I introduced a helper function vhost_user_one_time_request(), which lists following messages as non-vring specific messages: VHOST_USER_SET_OWNER VHOST_USER_RESET_DEVICE VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM For above messages, we simply ignore them when they are not sent the first time.

This is for querying how many queues the backend supports if it has mq support(when VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ flag is set from the quried protocol features). vhost_net_get_max_queues() is the interface to export that value, and to tell if the backend supports # of queues user requested, which is done in the following patch.

2015-09-23spapr: Support ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memoryBharata B Rao1-0/+48
Parse ibm,architecture.vec table obtained from the guest and enable memory node configuration via ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory if guest supports it. This is in preparation to support memory hotplug for sPAPR guests. This changes the way memory node configuration is done. Currently all memory nodes are built upfront. But after this patch, only memory@0 node for RMA is built upfront. Guest kernel boots with just that and rest of the memory nodes (via memory@XXX or ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory) are built when guest does ibm,client-architecture-support call. Note: This patch needs a SLOF enhancement which is already part of SLOF binary in QEMU.
