We recently introduced "-run-with" for options that influence the
runtime behavior of QEMU. This option has the big advantage that it
can group related options (so that it is easier for the users to spot
them) and that the options become introspectable via QMP this way.
So let's start moving more switches into this option group, starting
with "-chroot" now.

As recent CVE-2023-2861 (fixed by f6b0de53fb) once again showed, the 9p
'proxy' fs driver is in bad shape. Using the 'proxy' backend was already
discouraged for safety reasons before and we recommended to use the
'local' backend (preferably in conjunction with its 'mapped' security
model) instead, but now it is time to officially deprecate the 'proxy'
backend.

When we for example have a sparse qcow2 image and discard: unmap is enabled,
there can be a lot of fragmentation in the image after some time. Especially on VM's
that do a lot of writes/deletes.
This causes the qcow2 image to grow even over 110% of its virtual size,
because the free gaps in the image get too small to allocate new
continuous clusters. So it allocates new space at the end of the image.
Disabling discard is not an option, as discard is needed to keep the
incremental backup size as low as possible. Without discard, the
incremental backups would become large, as qemu thinks it's just dirty
blocks but it doesn't know the blocks are unneeded.
So we need to avoid fragmentation but also 'empty' the unneeded blocks in
the image to have a small incremental backup.
In addition, we also want to send the discards further down the stack, so
the underlying blocks are still discarded.
Therefor we introduce a new qcow2 option "discard-no-unref".
When setting this option to true, discards will no longer have the qcow2
driver relinquish cluster allocations. Other than that, the request is
handled as normal: All clusters in range are marked as zero, and, if
pass-discard-request is true, it is passed further down the stack.
The only difference is that the now-zero clusters are preallocated
instead of being unallocated.
This will avoid fragmentation on the qcow2 image.

Add an option for hostmem-file to start the memory object at an offset
into the target file. This is useful if multiple memory objects reside
inside the same target file, such as a device node.
In particular, it's useful to map guest memory directly into /dev/mem
for experimentation.
To make this work consistently, also fix up all places in QEMU that
expect fd offsets to be 0.

This commit adds a new audiodev backend to allow QEMU to use Pipewire as
both an audio sink and source. This backend is available on most systems
Add Pipewire entry points for QEMU Pipewire audio backend
Add wrappers for QEMU Pipewire audio backend in qpw_pcm_ops()
qpw_write function returns the current state of the stream to pwaudio
and Writes some data to the server for playback streams using pipewire
spa_ringbuffer implementation.
qpw_read function returns the current state of the stream to pwaudio and
reads some data from the server for capture streams using pipewire
spa_ringbuffer implementation. These functions qpw_write and qpw_read
are called during playback and capture.
Added some functions that convert pw audio formats to QEMU audio format
and vice versa which would be needed in the pipewire audio sink and
source functions qpw_init_in() & qpw_init_out().
These methods that implement playback and recording will create streams
for playback and capture that will start processing and will result in
the on_process callbacks to be called.
Built a connection to the Pipewire sound system server in the
qpw_audio_init() method.

This commit adds 'one-insn-per-tb' as a property on the TCG
accelerator object, so you can enable it with
-accel tcg,one-insn-per-tb=on
It has the same behaviour as the existing '-singlestep' command line
option. We use a different name because 'singlestep' has always been
a confusing choice, because it doesn't have anything to do with
single-stepping the CPU. What it does do is force TCG emulation to
put one guest instruction in each TB, which can be useful in some
situations (such as analysing debug logs).
The existing '-singlestep' commandline options are decoupled from the
global 'singlestep' variable and instead now are syntactic sugar for
setting the accel property. (These can then go away after a
deprecation period.)
The global variable remains for the moment as:
* what the TCG code looks at to change its behaviour
* what HMP and QMP use to query and set the behaviour
In the following commits we'll clean those up to not directly
look at the global variable.

Our 'file' chardev backend supports both "output from this chardev
is written to a file" and "input from this chardev should be read
from a file" (except on Windows). However, you can only set up
the input file if you're using the QMP interface -- there is no
command line syntax to do it.
Add command line syntax to allow specifying an input file
as well as an output file, using a new 'input-path' suboption.
The specific use case I have is that I'd like to be able to
feed fuzzer reproducer input into qtest without having to use
'-qtest stdio' and put the input onto stdin. Being able to
use a file chardev like this:
-chardev file,id=repro,path=/dev/null,input-path=repro.txt -qtest chardev:repro
means that stdio is free for use by gdb.

Currently we'll always generate a cluster node no matter user has
specified '-smp clusters=X' or not. Cluster is an optional level
and will participant the building of Linux scheduling domains and
only appears on a few platforms. It's unncessary to always build
it when it cannot reflect the real topology on platforms having no
cluster implementation and to avoid affecting the linux scheduling
domains in the VM. So only generate the cluster topology in ACPI
PPTT when the user has specified it explicitly in -smp.

This patch adds support for asynchronously tearing down a VM on Linux.
When qemu terminates, either naturally or because of a fatal signal,
the VM is torn down. If the VM is huge, it can take a considerable
amount of time for it to be cleaned up. In case of a protected VM, it
might take even longer than a non-protected VM (this is the case on
s390x, for example).
Some users might want to shut down a VM and restart it immediately,
without having to wait. This is especially true if management
infrastructure like libvirt is used.
This patch implements a simple trick on Linux to allow qemu to return
immediately, with the teardown of the VM being performed
asynchronously.
If the new commandline option -async-teardown is used, a new process is
spawned from qemu at startup, using the clone syscall, in such way that
it will share its address space with qemu.The new process will have the
name "cleanup/<QEMU_PID>". It will wait until qemu terminates
completely, and then it will exit itself.
This allows qemu to terminate quickly, without having to wait for the
whole address space to be torn down. The cleanup process will exit
after qemu, so it will be the last user of the address space, and
therefore it will take care of the actual teardown. The cleanup
process will share the same cgroups as qemu, so both memory usage and
cpu time will be accounted properly.
If possible, close_range will be used in the cleanup process to close
all open file descriptors. If it is not available or if it fails, /proc
will be used to determine which file descriptors to close.
If the cleanup process is forcefully killed with SIGKILL before the
main qemu process has terminated completely, the mechanism is defeated
and the teardown will not be asynchronous.
This feature can already be used with libvirt by adding the following
to the XML domain definition to pass the parameter to qemu directly:
<commandline xmlns="http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0">
<arg value='-async-teardown'/>
</commandline>

Copied from socket netdev file and modified to use SocketAddress
to be able to introduce new features like unix socket.
"udp" and "mcast" are squashed into dgram netdev, multicast is detected
according to the IP address type.
"listen" and "connect" modes are managed by stream netdev. An optional
parameter "server" defines the mode (off by default)
The two new types need to be parsed the modern way with -netdev, because
with the traditional way, the "type" field of netdev structure collides with
the "type" field of SocketAddress and prevents the correct evaluation of the
command line option. Moreover the traditional way doesn't allow to use
the same type (SocketAddress) several times with the -netdev option
(needed to specify "local" and "remote" addresses).
The previous commit paved the way for parsing the modern way, but
omitted one detail: how to pick modern vs. traditional, in
netdev_is_modern().
We want to pick based on the value of parameter "type". But how to
extract it from the option argument?
Parsing the option argument, either the modern or the traditional way,
extracts it for us, but only if parsing succeeds.
If parsing fails, there is no good option. No matter which parser we
pick, it'll be the wrong one for some arguments, and the error
reporting will be confusing.
Fortunately, the traditional parser accepts *anything* when called in
a certain way. This maximizes our chance to extract the value of
"type", and in turn minimizes the risk of confusing error reporting.

backend as another parameter to instantiate vhost-vdpa net client.
This would benefit the use case where only open file descriptors, as
opposed to raw vhost-vdpa device paths, are accessible from the QEMU
process.

There are cases that malicious virtual machine can cause CPU stuck (due
to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when
nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and
IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or
other VMs. Notify VM exit is introduced to mitigate such kind of
attacks, which will generate a VM exit if no event window occurs in VM
non-root mode for a specified amount of time (notify window).
A new KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT is exposed to user space
so that the user can query the capability and set the expected notify
window when creating VMs. The format of the argument when enabling this
capability is as follows:
Bit 63:32 - notify window specified in qemu command
Bit 31:0 - some flags (e.g. KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED is set to
enable the feature.)
Users can configure the feature by a new (x86 only) accel property:
qemu -accel kvm,notify-vmexit=run|internal-error|disable,notify-window=n
The default option of notify-vmexit is run, which will enable the
capability and do nothing if the exit happens. The internal-error option
raises a KVM internal error if it happens. The disable option does not
enable the capability. The default value of notify-window is 0. It is valid
only when notify-vmexit is not disabled. The valid range of notify-window
is non-negative. It is even safe to set it to zero since there's an
internal hardware threshold to be added to ensure no false positive.
Because a notify VM exit may happen with VM_CONTEXT_INVALID set in exit
qualification (no cases are anticipated that would set this bit), which
means VM context is corrupted. It would be reflected in the flags of
KVM_EXIT_NOTIFY exit. If KVM_NOTIFY_CONTEXT_INVALID bit is set, raise a KVM
internal error unconditionally.

Currently our semihosting implementations generally prohibit use of
semihosting calls in system emulation from the guest userspace. This
is a very long standing behaviour justified originally "to provide
some semblance of security" (since code with access to the
semihosting ABI can do things like read and write arbitrary files on
the host system). However, it is sometimes useful to be able to run
trusted guest code which performs semihosting calls from guest
userspace, notably for test code. Add a command line suboption to
the existing semihosting-config option group so that you can
explicitly opt in to semihosting from guest userspace with
-semihosting-config userspace=on
(There is no equivalent option for the user-mode emulator, because
there by definition all code runs in userspace and has access to
semihosting already.)
This commit adds the infrastructure for the command line option and
adds a bool 'is_user' parameter to the function
semihosting_userspace_enabled() that target code can use to check
whether it should be permitting the semihosting call for userspace.
It mechanically makes all the callsites pass 'false', so they
continue checking "is semihosting enabled in general". Subsequent
commits will make each target that implements semihosting honour the
userspace=on option by passing the correct value and removing
whatever "don't do this for userspace" checking they were doing by
hand.
