2011-07-04pxa2xx_lcd: add proper rotation supportVasily Khoruzhick1-0/+9
Until now, pxa2xx_lcd only supported 90deg rotation, but some machines (for example Zipit Z2) needs 270deg rotation. Signed-off-by: Vasily Khoruzhick <anarsoul@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrzej Zaborowski <andrew.zaborowski@intel.com>
2011-06-15Command line support for altering the log file locationMatthew Fernandez1-0/+9
Add command line support for logging to a location other than /tmp/qemu.log. With logging enabled (command line option -d), the log is written to the hard-coded path /tmp/qemu.log. This patch adds support for writing the log to a different location by passing the -D option.

2011-06-06spice: add SASL supportMarc-André Lureau1-0/+13
Turn on SASL support by appending "sasl" to the spice arguments, which requires that the client use SASL to authenticate with the spice. The exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the system / user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used to make it search alternate locations for the service config. While some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI), it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls' and 'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication credentials. It requires support from spice 0.8.1.

2011-05-15doc: Add explanation that -alt-grab and -ctrl-grab affect special keysBrad Hards1-2/+4
Phillip Merensky reported that the special keys (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-f for full screen) did not work correctly if -alt-grab is used. BUG: 696530 Review of ui/sdl.c:sdl_refresh indicates that this is the intended behaviour, so we should update the documentation to match the actual behaviour, as suggested by Phillip in the bug report.

2011-05-08Introduce -machine command option.Anthony PERARD1-0/+10
This option gives the ability to switch one "accelerator" like kvm, xen or the default one tcg. We can specify more than one accelerator by separate them by a colon. QEMU will try each one and use the first whose works. So, ./qemu -machine accel=xen:kvm:tcg which would try Xen support first, then KVM and finally TCG if none of the other works. By default, QEMU will use TCG. But we can specify another default in the global configuration file.

2011-02-01vhost: force vhost off for non-MSI guestsmst@redhat.com1-1/+3
When MSI is off, each interrupt needs to be bounced through the io thread when it's set/cleared, so vhost-net causes more context switches and higher CPU utilization than userspace virtio which handles networking in the same thread. We'll need to fix this by adding level irq support in kvm irqfd, for now disable vhost-net in these configurations. Added a vhostforce flag to force vhost-net back on. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

2010-12-09spice: add qxl deviceGerd Hoffmann1-1/+5
qxl is a paravirtual graphics card. The qxl device is the bridge between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server). The spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which will actually render them. The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case the guest wants read something from video memory. Local rendering is also used to support display over vnc and sdl. qxl is activated using "-vga qxl". qxl supports multihead, additional cards can be added via '-device qxl".

Add an option to specify the host IP to send multicast packets from, when using a multicast socket for networking. The option takes an IP address and sets the IP_MULTICAST_IF socket option, which causes the packets to use that IP's interface as an egress.

2010-07-26move 'unsafe' to end of caching modes in helpBruce Rogers1-1/+1
Libvirt parses qemu help output to determine qemu features. In particular it probes for the following: "cache=writethrough|writeback|none". The addition of the unsafe cache mode was inserted within this string, as opposed to being added to the end, which impacted libvirt's probe. Unbreak libvirt by keeping the existing cache modes intact and add unsafe to the end. This problem only manifests itself if a caching mode is explicitly specified in the libvirt xml, in which case older syntax for caching is passed to qemu, which it no longer understands.

2010-05-27Make cache=unsafe the default for -snapshotAlexander Graf1-3/+3

2010-05-26Add cache=unsafe parameter to -driveAlexander Graf1-3/+10
Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache. So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe", as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore. This patch also adds a noop function for aio, so we can do nothing in AIO fashion.
