[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 28/32] vl: QAPIfy command line option definition |
|
Date: |
Mon, 2 Oct 2017 17:25:48 +0200 |
Move options definition from qemu-options.hx to the QAPI schema.
Schema deficiencies:
* TODO rework doc strings into QAPIDoc format
* TODO generate (parts of) 'help' from 'data'?
* FIXME many 'str' option arguments (marked FIXME/TODO) need to be QAPIfied,
anything that can't be QAPIfied needs to be replaced & deprecated
* FIXME conditionals (marked #if in qapi/options.json)
* TODO move the non-miscellaneous options next to their subsystem's
* schema definitions
qemu-doc breakage:
* FIXME need to include options part of
docs/interop/qemu-qmp-qapi.texi into qemu-doc
* FIXME several references in qemu-doc
vl.c TODOs:
* Drop conditionals hackery once we have schema conditionals
* Read and write .json config files
* How can we port -set from QemuOpts to QAPI?
The next few commits QAPIfy a few easy 'str' option arguments, to
demonstrate how. Many more remain, and some of them are going to be
harder.
QAPIfication switches from the QemuOpts parser to keyval_parse(),
which isn't 100% backward compatible. We need to decide how far to
push reproducing QemuOpts parsing quirks.
QemuOpts also serves as configuration repository. QAPIfication gets
rid of that. Code relying on the configuration repository features
will need updates.

+# Legacy VCPU assignment uses @samp{cpus} option where

+# @samp{cpus} option represent a contiguous range of CPU indexes
+# (or a single VCPU if @var{lastcpu} is omitted). A non-contiguous
+# set of VCPUs can be represented by providing multiple @samp{cpus}
+# options. If @samp{cpus} is omitted on all nodes, VCPUs are automatically
+# split between them.
+#
+# For example, the following option assigns VCPUs 0, 1, 2 and 5 to
+# a NUMA node:
+# @example
+# -numa node,cpus=0-2,cpus=5
+# @end example
+#
+# @samp{cpu} option is a new alternative to @samp{cpus} option
+# which uses @samp{socket-id|core-id|thread-id} properties to assign
+# CPU objects to a @var{node} using topology layout properties of CPU.
+# The set of properties is machine specific, and depends on used
+# machine type/@samp{smp} options. It could be queried with
+# @samp{hotpluggable-cpus} monitor command.
+# @samp{node-id} property specifies @var{node} to which CPU object
+# will be assigned, it's required for @var{node} to be declared
+# with @samp{node} option before it's used with @samp{cpu} option.
+#
+# For example:
+# @example
+# -M pc \
+# -smp 1,sockets=2,maxcpus=2 \
+# -numa node,nodeid=0 -numa node,nodeid=1 \
+# -numa cpu,node-id=0,socket-id=0 -numa cpu,node-id=1,socket-id=1
+# @end example
+#
+# @samp{mem} assigns a given RAM amount to a node. @samp{memdev}
+# assigns RAM from a given memory backend device to a node. If
+# @samp{mem} and @samp{memdev} are omitted in all nodes, RAM is
+# split equally between them.
+#
+# @samp{mem} and @samp{memdev} are mutually exclusive. Furthermore,
+# if one node uses @samp{memdev}, all of them have to use it.
+#
+# @var{source} and @var{destination} are NUMA node IDs.
+# @var{distance} is the NUMA distance from @var{source} to @var{destination}.
+# The distance from a node to itself is always 10. If any pair of nodes is
+# given a distance, then all pairs must be given distances. Although, when
+# distances are only given in one direction for each pair of nodes, then
+# the distances in the opposite directions are assumed to be the same. If,
+# however, an asymmetrical pair of distances is given for even one node
+# pair, then all node pairs must be provided distance values for both
+# directions, even when they are symmetrical. When a node is unreachable
+# from another node, set the pair's distance to 255.
+#
+# Note that the address@hidden option doesn't allocate any of the
+# specified resources, it just assigns existing resources to NUMA
+# nodes. This means that one still has to use the @option{-m},
+# @option{-smp} options to allocate RAM and VCPUs respectively.

+# @item address@hidden/path/to/certificate/dir}
+#
+# Valid if @option{tls} is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used

+# to the client, and request that the client send its own x509 certificate.
+# The server will validate the client's certificate against the CA certificate,
+# and reject clients when validation fails. If the certificate authority is
+# trusted, this is a sufficient authentication mechanism. You may still wish

+# @item acl
+#
+# Turn on access control lists for checking of the x509 client certificate

+# made against the username, which depending on the SASL plugin, may
+# include a realm component, eg @code{bob} or @code{bob@@EXAMPLE.COM}.
+# When the @option{acl} flag is set, the initial access list will be
+# empty, with a @code{deny} policy. Thus no one will be allowed to

+# like Tight.
+#
+# @item share=[allow-exclusive|force-shared|ignore]
+#
+# Set display sharing policy. 'allow-exclusive' allows clients to ask
+# for exclusive access. As suggested by the rfb spec this is
+# implemented by dropping other connections. Connecting multiple
+# clients in parallel requires all clients asking for a shared session
+# (vncviewer: -shared switch). This is the default. 'force-shared'
+# disables exclusive client access. Useful for shared desktop sessions,
+# where you don't want someone forgetting specify -shared disconnect
+# everybody else. 'ignore' completely ignores the shared flag and
+# allows everybody connect unconditionally. Doesn't conform to the rfb
+# spec but is traditional QEMU behavior.
+#
+# @item key-delay-ms
+#
+# Set keyboard delay, for key down and key up events, in milliseconds.
+# Default is 10. Keyboards are low-bandwidth devices, so this slowdown
+# can help the device and guest to keep up and not lose events in case
+# events are arriving in bulk. Possible causes for the latter are flaky
+# network connections, or scripts for automated testing.

+# qemu -net user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.100:1234-tcp:10.10.1.1:4321 [...]
+# @end example
+#
+# Or you can execute a command on every TCP connection established by the
guest,
+# so that QEMU behaves similar to an inetd process for that virtual server:
+#
+# @example
+# # call "netcat 10.10.1.1 4321" on every TCP connection to 10.0.2.100:1234
+# # and connect the TCP stream to its stdin/stdout

+##
+# @--chardev:
+# !texinfo
+# The general form of a character device option is:
+# -chardev @var{backend} ,address@hidden [,mux=on|off] [,@address@hidden
+# Backend is one of:
+# @option{null},
+# @option{socket},
+# @option{udp},
+# @option{msmouse},
+# @option{vc},
+# @option{ringbuf},
+# @option{file},
+# @option{pipe},
+# @option{console},
+# @option{serial},
+# @option{pty},
+# @option{stdio},
+# @option{braille},
+# @option{tty},
+# @option{parallel},
+# @option{parport},
+# @option{spicevmc}.
+# @option{spiceport}.
+# The specific backend will determine the applicable options.
+#
+# Use @code{-chardev help} to print all available chardev backend types.
+#
+# All devices must have an id, which can be any string up to 127 characters
long.
+# It is used to uniquely identify this device in other command line directives.
+#
+# A character device may be used in multiplexing mode by multiple front-ends.
+# Specify @option{mux=on} to enable this mode.
+# A multiplexer is a "1:N" device, and here the "1" end is your specified
chardev
+# backend, and the "N" end is the various parts of QEMU that can talk to a
chardev.
+# If you create a chardev with @option{id=myid} and @option{mux=on}, QEMU will
+# create a multiplexer with your specified ID, and you can then configure
multiple
+# front ends to use that chardev ID for their input/output. Up to four
different
+# front ends can be connected to a single multiplexed chardev. (Without
+# multiplexing enabled, a chardev can only be used by a single front end.)
+# For instance you could use this to allow a single stdio chardev to be used by
+# two serial ports and the QEMU monitor:
+#
+# @example
+# -chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0 \
+# -mon chardev=char0,mode=readline \
+# -serial chardev:char0 \
+# -serial chardev:char0
+# @end example
+#
+# You can have more than one multiplexer in a system configuration; for
instance
+# you could have a TCP port multiplexed between UART 0 and UART 1, and stdio
+# multiplexed between the QEMU monitor and a parallel port:
+#
+# @example
+# -chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0 \
+# -mon chardev=char0,mode=readline \
+# -parallel chardev:char0 \
+# -chardev tcp,...,mux=on,id=char1 \
+# -serial chardev:char1 \
+# -serial chardev:char1
+# @end example
+#
+# When you're using a multiplexed character device, some escape sequences are
+# interpreted in the input. FIXME @@address@hidden, Keys in the character
backend
+# address@hidden
+#
+# Note that some other command line options may implicitly create multiplexed
+# character backends; for instance @option{-serial mon:stdio} creates a
+# multiplexed stdio backend connected to the serial port and the QEMU monitor,
+# and @option{-nographic} also multiplexes the console and the monitor to
+# stdio.
+#
+# There is currently no support for multiplexing in the other direction
+# (where a single QEMU front end takes input and output from multiple
chardevs).
+#
+# Every backend supports the @option{logfile} option, which supplies the path
+# to a file to record all data transmitted via the backend. The
@option{logappend}
+# option controls whether the log file will be truncated or appended to when
+# opened.
+#

+#
+# Some notes about using the host's TPM with the passthrough driver:
+#
+# The TPM device accessed by the passthrough driver must not be

+#
+# Since the host's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) has already initialized the TPM,

+# otherwise allow the user to configure the TPM, e.g., allow the user to
+# enable/disable or activate/deactivate the TPM.
+# Further, if TPM ownership is released from within a VM then the host's TPM
+# will get disabled and deactivated. To enable and activate the
+# TPM again afterwards, the host has to be rebooted and the user is
+# required to enter the firmware's menu to enable and activate the TPM.
+# If the TPM is left disabled and/or deactivated most TPM commands will fail.

secret,address@hidden,address@hidden,address@hidden|base64}[,address@hidden,address@hidden
+#
+# Defines a secret to store a password, encryption key, or some other sensitive
+# data. The sensitive data can either be passed directly via the @var{data}
+# parameter, or indirectly via the @var{file} parameter. Using the @var{data}
+# parameter is insecure unless the sensitive data is encrypted.
+#
+# The sensitive data can be provided in raw format (the default), or base64.
+# When encoded as JSON, the raw format only supports valid UTF-8 characters,
+# so base64 is recommended for sending binary data. QEMU will convert from
+# which ever format is provided to the format it needs internally. eg, an
+# RBD password can be provided in raw format, even though it will be base64
+# encoded when passed onto the RBD sever.
+#
+# For added protection, it is possible to encrypt the data associated with
+# a secret using the AES-256-CBC cipher. Use of encryption is indicated
+# by providing the @var{keyid} and @var{iv} parameters. The @var{keyid}
+# parameter provides the ID of a previously defined secret that contains
+# the AES-256 decryption key. This key should be 32-bytes long and be
+# base64 encoded. The @var{iv} parameter provides the random initialization
+# vector used for encryption of this particular secret and should be a
+# base64 encrypted string of the 16-byte IV.
+#
+# The simplest (insecure) usage is to provide the secret inline
+#
+# @example
+#
+# # $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw
+#
+# @end example
+#
+# The simplest secure usage is to provide the secret via a file

+# For greater security, AES-256-CBC should be used. To illustrate usage,
+# consider the openssl command line tool which can encrypt the data. Note
+# that when encrypting, the plaintext must be padded to the cipher block
+# size (32 bytes) using the standard PKCS#5/6 compatible padding algorithm.
+#
+# First a master key needs to be created in base64 encoding:
+#
+# @example
+# # openssl rand -base64 32 > key.b64
+# # KEY=$(base64 -d key.b64 | hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
+# @end example
+#
+# Each secret to be encrypted needs to have a random initialization vector
+# generated. These do not need to be kept secret
+#
+# @example
+# # openssl rand -base64 16 > iv.b64
+# # IV=$(base64 -d iv.b64 | hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
+# @end example
+#
+# The secret to be defined can now be encrypted, in this case we're
+# telling openssl to base64 encode the result, but it could be left
+# as raw bytes if desired.
+#
+# @example
+# # SECRET=$(printf "letmein" |
+# openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -a -K $KEY -iv $IV)

-Define a NUMA node and assign RAM and VCPUs to it.
-Set the NUMA distance from a source node to a destination node.
-
-Legacy VCPU assignment uses @samp{cpus} option where
address@hidden and @var{lastcpu} are CPU indexes. Each
address@hidden option represent a contiguous range of CPU indexes
-(or a single VCPU if @var{lastcpu} is omitted). A non-contiguous
-set of VCPUs can be represented by providing multiple @samp{cpus}
-options. If @samp{cpus} is omitted on all nodes, VCPUs are automatically
-split between them.
-
-For example, the following option assigns VCPUs 0, 1, 2 and 5 to
-a NUMA node:
address@hidden
--numa node,cpus=0-2,cpus=5
address@hidden example
-
address@hidden option is a new alternative to @samp{cpus} option
-which uses @samp{socket-id|core-id|thread-id} properties to assign
-CPU objects to a @var{node} using topology layout properties of CPU.
-The set of properties is machine specific, and depends on used
-machine type/@samp{smp} options. It could be queried with
address@hidden monitor command.
address@hidden property specifies @var{node} to which CPU object
-will be assigned, it's required for @var{node} to be declared
-with @samp{node} option before it's used with @samp{cpu} option.
-
-For example:
address@hidden
--M pc \
--smp 1,sockets=2,maxcpus=2 \
--numa node,nodeid=0 -numa node,nodeid=1 \
--numa cpu,node-id=0,socket-id=0 -numa cpu,node-id=1,socket-id=1
address@hidden example
-
address@hidden assigns a given RAM amount to a node. @samp{memdev}
-assigns RAM from a given memory backend device to a node. If
address@hidden and @samp{memdev} are omitted in all nodes, RAM is
-split equally between them.
-
address@hidden and @samp{memdev} are mutually exclusive. Furthermore,
-if one node uses @samp{memdev}, all of them have to use it.
-
address@hidden and @var{destination} are NUMA node IDs.
address@hidden is the NUMA distance from @var{source} to @var{destination}.
-The distance from a node to itself is always 10. If any pair of nodes is
-given a distance, then all pairs must be given distances. Although, when
-distances are only given in one direction for each pair of nodes, then
-the distances in the opposite directions are assumed to be the same. If,
-however, an asymmetrical pair of distances is given for even one node
-pair, then all node pairs must be provided distance values for both
-directions, even when they are symmetrical. When a node is unreachable
-from another node, set the pair's distance to 255.
-
-Note that the address@hidden option doesn't allocate any of the
-specified resources, it just assigns existing resources to NUMA
-nodes. This means that one still has to use the @option{-m},
address@hidden options to allocate RAM and VCPUs respectively.

-Options that expect a reference to another node (e.g. @code{file}) can be

-(address@hidden), or you define a new node inline, adding options
-for the referenced node after a dot (address@hidden,file.aio=native).
-
-A block driver node created with @option{-blockdev} can be used for a guest

-
address@hidden @option
address@hidden Valid options for any block driver node:
-
address@hidden @code
address@hidden driver
-Specifies the block driver to use for the given node.
address@hidden node-name
-This defines the name of the block driver node by which it will be referenced
-later. The name must be unique, i.e. it must not match the name of a different
-block driver node, or (if you use @option{-drive} as well) the ID of a drive.
-
-If no node name is specified, it is automatically generated. The generated node
-name is not intended to be predictable and changes between QEMU invocations.
-For the top level, an explicit node name must be specified.
address@hidden read-only
-Open the node read-only. Guest write attempts will fail.
address@hidden cache.direct
-The host page cache can be avoided with @option{cache.direct=on}. This will
-attempt to do disk IO directly to the guest's memory. QEMU may still perform an
-internal copy of the data.
address@hidden cache.no-flush
-In case you don't care about data integrity over host failures, you can use
address@hidden This option tells QEMU that it never needs to write
-any data to the disk but can instead keep things in cache. If anything goes
-wrong, like your host losing power, the disk storage getting disconnected

-By default, the @option{cache.writeback=on} mode is used. It will report data
-writes as completed as soon as the data is present in the host page cache.
-This is safe as long as your guest OS makes sure to correctly flush disk caches
-where needed. If your guest OS does not handle volatile disk write caches
-correctly and your host crashes or loses power, then the guest may experience
-data corruption.
-
-For such guests, you should consider using @option{cache.writeback=off}. This
-means that the host page cache will be used to read and write data, but write
-notification will be sent to the guest only after QEMU has made sure to flush
-each write to the disk. Be aware that this has a major impact on performance.
-
-When using the @option{-snapshot} option, unsafe caching is always used.
-
-Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing file sectors repeatedly and is
-useful when the backing file is over a slow network. By default copy-on-read

address@hidden websocket
-
-Opens an additional TCP listening port dedicated to VNC Websocket connections.
-If a bare @var{websocket} option is given, the Websocket port is
address@hidden An alternative port can be specified with the
-syntax @address@hidden
-
-If @var{host} is specified connections will only be allowed from this host.
-It is possible to control the websocket listen address independently, using
-the syntax @address@hidden:@var{port}.
-
-If no TLS credentials are provided, the websocket connection runs in
-unencrypted mode. If TLS credentials are provided, the websocket connection
-requires encrypted client connections.
-
address@hidden password
-
-Require that password based authentication is used for client connections.
-
-The password must be set separately using the @code{set_password} command in
-the @ref{pcsys_monitor}. The syntax to change your password is:
address@hidden <protocol> <password>} where <protocol> could be either
-"vnc" or "spice".
-
-If you would like to change <protocol> password expiration, you should use
address@hidden <protocol> <expiration-time>} where expiration time could
-be one of the following options: now, never, +seconds or UNIX time of
-expiration, e.g. +60 to make password expire in 60 seconds, or 1335196800
-to make password expire on "Mon Apr 23 12:00:00 EDT 2012" (UNIX time for this
-date and time).
-
-You can also use keywords "now" or "never" for the expiration time to
-allow <protocol> password to expire immediately or never expire.
-
address@hidden address@hidden
-
-Provides the ID of a set of TLS credentials to use to secure the
-VNC server. They will apply to both the normal VNC server socket
-and the websocket socket (if enabled). Setting TLS credentials
-will cause the VNC server socket to enable the VeNCrypt auth
-mechanism. The credentials should have been previously created
-using the @option{-object tls-creds} argument.
-
-The @option{tls-creds} parameter obsoletes the @option{tls},
address@hidden, and @option{x509verify} options, and as such
-it is not permitted to set both new and old type options at
-the same time.
-
address@hidden tls
-
-Require that client use TLS when communicating with the VNC server. This
-uses anonymous TLS credentials so is susceptible to a man-in-the-middle
-attack. It is recommended that this option be combined with either the
address@hidden or @option{x509verify} options.
-
-This option is now deprecated in favor of using the @option{tls-creds}
-argument.
-
address@hidden address@hidden/path/to/certificate/dir}
-
-Valid if @option{tls} is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used
-for negotiating the TLS session. The server will send its x509 certificate
-to the client. It is recommended that a password be set on the VNC server
-to provide authentication of the client when this is used. The path following
-this option specifies where the x509 certificates are to be loaded from.
-See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on generating certificates.
-
-This option is now deprecated in favour of using the @option{tls-creds}
-argument.
-
address@hidden address@hidden/path/to/certificate/dir}
-
-Valid if @option{tls} is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used
-for negotiating the TLS session. The server will send its x509 certificate
-to the client, and request that the client send its own x509 certificate.
-The server will validate the client's certificate against the CA certificate,
-and reject clients when validation fails. If the certificate authority is
-trusted, this is a sufficient authentication mechanism. You may still wish
-to set a password on the VNC server as a second authentication layer. The
-path following this option specifies where the x509 certificates are to
-be loaded from. See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on generating
-certificates.
-
-This option is now deprecated in favour of using the @option{tls-creds}
-argument.
-
address@hidden sasl
-
-Require that the client use SASL to authenticate with the VNC server.
-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. See the @ref{vnc_security} section for details on using
-SASL authentication.
-
address@hidden acl
-
-Turn on access control lists for checking of the x509 client certificate
-and SASL party. For x509 certs, the ACL check is made against the
-certificate's distinguished name. This is something that looks like
address@hidden,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob}. For SASL party, the ACL check is
-made against the username, which depending on the SASL plugin, may
-include a realm component, eg @code{bob} or @code{bob@@EXAMPLE.COM}.
-When the @option{acl} flag is set, the initial access list will be
-empty, with a @code{deny} policy. Thus no one will be allowed to
-use the VNC server until the ACLs have been loaded. This can be
-achieved using the @code{acl} monitor command.
-
address@hidden lossy
-
-Enable lossy compression methods (gradient, JPEG, ...). If this
-option is set, VNC client may receive lossy framebuffer updates
-depending on its encoding settings. Enabling this option can save
-a lot of bandwidth at the expense of quality.
-
address@hidden non-adaptive
-
-Disable adaptive encodings. Adaptive encodings are enabled by default.
-An adaptive encoding will try to detect frequently updated screen regions,
-and send updates in these regions using a lossy encoding (like JPEG).
-This can be really helpful to save bandwidth when playing videos. Disabling
-adaptive encodings restores the original static behavior of encodings
-like Tight.
-
address@hidden share=[allow-exclusive|force-shared|ignore]
-
-Set display sharing policy. 'allow-exclusive' allows clients to ask
-for exclusive access. As suggested by the rfb spec this is
-implemented by dropping other connections. Connecting multiple
-clients in parallel requires all clients asking for a shared session
-(vncviewer: -shared switch). This is the default. 'force-shared'
-disables exclusive client access. Useful for shared desktop sessions,
-where you don't want someone forgetting specify -shared disconnect
-everybody else. 'ignore' completely ignores the shared flag and
-allows everybody connect unconditionally. Doesn't conform to the rfb
-spec but is traditional QEMU behavior.
-
address@hidden key-delay-ms
-
-Set keyboard delay, for key down and key up events, in milliseconds.
-Default is 10. Keyboards are low-bandwidth devices, so this slowdown
-can help the device and guest to keep up and not lose events in case
-events are arriving in bulk. Possible causes for the latter are flaky
-network connections, or scripts for automated testing.

-In the guest Windows OS, the line:
address@hidden
-10.0.2.4 smbserver
address@hidden example
-must be added in the file @file{C:\WINDOWS\LMHOSTS} (for windows 9x/Me)
-or @file{C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\LMHOSTS} (Windows NT/2000).
-
-Then @address@hidden can be accessed in @file{\\smbserver\qemu}.
-
-Note that a SAMBA server must be installed on the host OS.
-QEMU was tested successfully with smbd versions from Red Hat 9,
-Fedora Core 3 and OpenSUSE 11.x.

address@hidden hostfwd=[tcp|udp]:address@hidden:@address@hidden:@var{guestport}
-Redirect incoming TCP or UDP connections to the host port @var{hostport} to
-the guest IP address @var{guestaddr} on guest port @var{guestport}. If
address@hidden is not specified, its value is x.x.x.15 (default first address
-given by the built-in DHCP server). By specifying @var{hostaddr}, the rule can
-be bound to a specific host interface. If no connection type is set, TCP is
-used. This option can be given multiple times.
-
-For example, to redirect host X11 connection from screen 1 to guest
-screen 0, use the following:
-
address@hidden
-# on the host
-qemu-system-i386 -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:6001-:6000 [...]
-# this host xterm should open in the guest X11 server
-xterm -display :1
address@hidden example
-
-To redirect telnet connections from host port 5555 to telnet port on
-the guest, use the following:
-
address@hidden
-# on the host
-qemu-system-i386 -net user,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:23 [...]
-telnet localhost 5555
address@hidden example
-
-Then when you use on the host @code{telnet localhost 5555}, you
-connect to the guest telnet server.
-
address@hidden guestfwd=[tcp]:@var{server}:@address@hidden
address@hidden guestfwd=[tcp]:@var{server}:@address@hidden:command}
-Forward guest TCP connections to the IP address @var{server} on port @var{port}
-to the character device @var{dev} or to a program executed by @var{cmd:command}
-which gets spawned for each connection. This option can be given multiple
times.
-
-You can either use a chardev directly and have that one used throughout QEMU's
-lifetime, like in the following example:
-
address@hidden
-# open 10.10.1.1:4321 on bootup, connect 10.0.2.100:1234 to it whenever
-# the guest accesses it
-qemu -net user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.100:1234-tcp:10.10.1.1:4321 [...]
address@hidden example
-
-Or you can execute a command on every TCP connection established by the guest,
-so that QEMU behaves similar to an inetd process for that virtual server:
-
address@hidden
-# call "netcat 10.10.1.1 4321" on every TCP connection to 10.0.2.100:1234
-# and connect the TCP stream to its stdin/stdout
-qemu -net 'user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.100:1234-cmd:netcat 10.10.1.1 4321'

-Connect the host TAP network interface @var{name} to VLAN @var{n}.
-
-Use the network script @var{file} to configure it and the network script
address@hidden to deconfigure it. If @var{name} is not provided, the OS

-to disable script execution.
-
-If running QEMU as an unprivileged user, use the network helper
address@hidden to configure the TAP interface and attach it to the bridge.
-The default network helper executable is @file{/path/to/qemu-bridge-helper}
-and the default bridge device is @file{br0}.

-The general form of a character device option is:

-The specific backend will determine the applicable options.
-
-Use @code{-chardev help} to print all available chardev backend types.
-
-All devices must have an id, which can be any string up to 127 characters long.
-It is used to uniquely identify this device in other command line directives.
-
-A character device may be used in multiplexing mode by multiple front-ends.
-Specify @option{mux=on} to enable this mode.
-A multiplexer is a "1:N" device, and here the "1" end is your specified chardev
-backend, and the "N" end is the various parts of QEMU that can talk to a
chardev.
-If you create a chardev with @option{id=myid} and @option{mux=on}, QEMU will
-create a multiplexer with your specified ID, and you can then configure
multiple
-front ends to use that chardev ID for their input/output. Up to four different
-front ends can be connected to a single multiplexed chardev. (Without
-multiplexing enabled, a chardev can only be used by a single front end.)
-For instance you could use this to allow a single stdio chardev to be used by
-two serial ports and the QEMU monitor:
-
address@hidden
--chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0 \
--mon chardev=char0,mode=readline \
--serial chardev:char0 \
--serial chardev:char0
address@hidden example
-
-You can have more than one multiplexer in a system configuration; for instance
-you could have a TCP port multiplexed between UART 0 and UART 1, and stdio
-multiplexed between the QEMU monitor and a parallel port:
-
address@hidden
--chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0 \
--mon chardev=char0,mode=readline \
--parallel chardev:char0 \
--chardev tcp,...,mux=on,id=char1 \
--serial chardev:char1 \
--serial chardev:char1
address@hidden example
-
-When you're using a multiplexed character device, some escape sequences are
-interpreted in the input. @xref{mux_keys, Keys in the character backend
-multiplexer}.
-
-Note that some other command line options may implicitly create multiplexed
-character backends; for instance @option{-serial mon:stdio} creates a
-multiplexed stdio backend connected to the serial port and the QEMU monitor,
-and @option{-nographic} also multiplexes the console and the monitor to
-stdio.
-
-There is currently no support for multiplexing in the other direction
-(where a single QEMU front end takes input and output from multiple chardevs).
-
-Every backend supports the @option{logfile} option, which supplies the path
-to a file to record all data transmitted via the backend. The
@option{logappend}
-option controls whether the log file will be truncated or appended to when
-opened.

-
address@hidden @option
-
address@hidden -tpmdev passthrough, address@hidden, address@hidden,
address@hidden
-
-(Linux-host only) Enable access to the host's TPM using the passthrough
-driver.
-
address@hidden specifies the path to the host's TPM device, i.e., on
-a Linux host this would be @code{/dev/tpm0}.
address@hidden is optional and by default @code{/dev/tpm0} is used.
-
address@hidden specifies the path to the host TPM device's sysfs
-entry allowing for cancellation of an ongoing TPM command.
address@hidden is optional and by default QEMU will search for the
-sysfs entry to use.
-
-Some notes about using the host's TPM with the passthrough driver:
-
-The TPM device accessed by the passthrough driver must not be
-used by any other application on the host.
-
-Since the host's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) has already initialized the TPM,
-the VM's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) will not be able to initialize the
-TPM again and may therefore not show a TPM-specific menu that would
-otherwise allow the user to configure the TPM, e.g., allow the user to
-enable/disable or activate/deactivate the TPM.
-Further, if TPM ownership is released from within a VM then the host's TPM
-will get disabled and deactivated. To enable and activate the
-TPM again afterwards, the host has to be rebooted and the user is
-required to enter the firmware's menu to enable and activate the TPM.
-If the TPM is left disabled and/or deactivated most TPM commands will fail.
-
-To create a passthrough TPM use the following two options:
address@hidden
--tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0 -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0
address@hidden example
-Note that the @code{-tpmdev} id is @code{tpm0} and is referenced by
address@hidden in the device option.

-algorithm. The @code{reconnect} option only applies if @var{noserver} is
-set, if the connection goes down it will attempt to reconnect at the

address@hidden -object
secret,address@hidden,address@hidden,address@hidden|base64}[,address@hidden,address@hidden
-
-Defines a secret to store a password, encryption key, or some other sensitive
-data. The sensitive data can either be passed directly via the @var{data}
-parameter, or indirectly via the @var{file} parameter. Using the @var{data}
-parameter is insecure unless the sensitive data is encrypted.
-
-The sensitive data can be provided in raw format (the default), or base64.
-When encoded as JSON, the raw format only supports valid UTF-8 characters,
-so base64 is recommended for sending binary data. QEMU will convert from
-which ever format is provided to the format it needs internally. eg, an
-RBD password can be provided in raw format, even though it will be base64
-encoded when passed onto the RBD sever.
-
-For added protection, it is possible to encrypt the data associated with
-a secret using the AES-256-CBC cipher. Use of encryption is indicated
-by providing the @var{keyid} and @var{iv} parameters. The @var{keyid}
-parameter provides the ID of a previously defined secret that contains
-the AES-256 decryption key. This key should be 32-bytes long and be
-base64 encoded. The @var{iv} parameter provides the random initialization
-vector used for encryption of this particular secret and should be a
-base64 encrypted string of the 16-byte IV.
-
-The simplest (insecure) usage is to provide the secret inline
-
address@hidden
-
- # $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw
-
address@hidden example
-
-The simplest secure usage is to provide the secret via a file
-
- # printf "letmein" > mypasswd.txt
- # $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt,format=raw
-
-For greater security, AES-256-CBC should be used. To illustrate usage,
-consider the openssl command line tool which can encrypt the data. Note
-that when encrypting, the plaintext must be padded to the cipher block
-size (32 bytes) using the standard PKCS#5/6 compatible padding algorithm.
-
-First a master key needs to be created in base64 encoding:
-
address@hidden
- # openssl rand -base64 32 > key.b64
- # KEY=$(base64 -d key.b64 | hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
address@hidden example
-
-Each secret to be encrypted needs to have a random initialization vector
-generated. These do not need to be kept secret
-
address@hidden
- # openssl rand -base64 16 > iv.b64
- # IV=$(base64 -d iv.b64 | hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
address@hidden example
-
-The secret to be defined can now be encrypted, in this case we're
-telling openssl to base64 encode the result, but it could be left
-as raw bytes if desired.
-
address@hidden
- # SECRET=$(printf "letmein" |
- openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -a -K $KEY -iv $IV)
address@hidden example
-
-When launching QEMU, create a master secret pointing to @code{key.b64}
-and specify that to be used to decrypt the user password. Pass the
-contents of @code{iv.b64} to the second secret
-
address@hidden
- # $QEMU \
- -object secret,id=secmaster0,format=base64,file=key.b64 \
- -object secret,id=sec0,keyid=secmaster0,format=base64,\
- data=$SECRET,iv=$(<iv.b64)
