The correct driver -for these file types is 'host_cdrom' or 'host_device' as appropriate. - -@subsection -net ...,name=@var{name} (since 3.1) - -The @option{name} parameter of the @option{-net} option is a synonym -for the @option{id} parameter, which should now be used instead. - -@subsection -smp (invalid topologies) (since 3.1) - -CPU topology properties should describe whole machine topology including -possible CPUs. - -However, historically it was possible to start QEMU with an incorrect topology -where @math{@var{n} <= @var{sockets} * @var{cores} * @var{threads} < @var{maxcpus}}, -which could lead to an incorrect topology enumeration by the guest. -Support for invalid topologies will be removed, the user must ensure -topologies described with -smp include all possible cpus, i.e. - @math{@var{sockets} * @var{cores} * @var{threads} = @var{maxcpus}}. - -@subsection -vnc acl (since 4.0.0) - -The @code{acl} option to the @code{-vnc} argument has been replaced -by the @code{tls-authz} and @code{sasl-authz} options. - -@subsection QEMU_AUDIO_ environment variables and -audio-help (since 4.0) - -The ``-audiodev'' argument is now the preferred way to specify audio -backend settings instead of environment variables. To ease migration to -the new format, the ``-audiodev-help'' option can be used to convert -the current values of the environment variables to ``-audiodev'' options. - -@subsection Creating sound card devices and vnc without audiodev= property (since 4.2) - -When not using the deprecated legacy audio config, each sound card -should specify an @code{audiodev=} property. Additionally, when using -vnc, you should specify an @code{audiodev=} propery if you plan to -transmit audio through the VNC protocol. - -@subsection -mon ...,control=readline,pretty=on|off (since 4.1) - -The @code{pretty=on|off} switch has no effect for HMP monitors, but is -silently ignored. Using the switch with HMP monitors will become an -error in the future. - -@subsection -realtime (since 4.1) - -The @code{-realtime mlock=on|off} argument has been replaced by the -@code{-overcommit mem-lock=on|off} argument. - -@subsection -numa node,mem=@var{size} (since 4.1) - -The parameter @option{mem} of @option{-numa node} is used to assign a part of -guest RAM to a NUMA node. But when using it, it's impossible to manage specified -RAM chunk on the host side (like bind it to a host node, setting bind policy, ...), -so guest end-ups with the fake NUMA configuration with suboptiomal performance. -However since 2014 there is an alternative way to assign RAM to a NUMA node -using parameter @option{memdev}, which does the same as @option{mem} and adds -means to actualy manage node RAM on the host side. Use parameter @option{memdev} -with @var{memory-backend-ram} backend as an replacement for parameter @option{mem} -to achieve the same fake NUMA effect or a properly configured -@var{memory-backend-file} backend to actually benefit from NUMA configuration. -In future new machine versions will not accept the option but it will still -work with old machine types. User can check QAPI schema to see if the legacy -option is supported by looking at MachineInfo::numa-mem-supported property. - -@subsection -numa node (without memory specified) (since 4.1) - -Splitting RAM by default between NUMA nodes has the same issues as @option{mem} -parameter described above with the difference that the role of the user plays -QEMU using implicit generic or board specific splitting rule. -Use @option{memdev} with @var{memory-backend-ram} backend or @option{mem} (if -it's supported by used machine type) to define mapping explictly instead. - -@subsection RISC-V -bios (since 4.1) - -QEMU 4.1 introduced support for the -bios option in QEMU for RISC-V for the -RISC-V virt machine and sifive_u machine. - -QEMU 4.1 has no changes to the default behaviour to avoid breakages. This -default will change in a future QEMU release, so please prepare now. All users -of the virt or sifive_u machine must change their command line usage. - -QEMU 4.1 has three options, please migrate to one of these three: - 1. ``-bios none`` - This is the current default behavior if no -bios option - is included. QEMU will not automatically load any firmware. It is up - to the user to load all the images they need. - 2. ``-bios default`` - In a future QEMU release this will become the default - behaviour if no -bios option is specified. This option will load the - default OpenSBI firmware automatically. The firmware is included with - the QEMU release and no user interaction is required. All a user needs - to do is specify the kernel they want to boot with the -kernel option - 3. ``-bios <file>`` - Tells QEMU to load the specified file as the firmwrae. - -@subsection -tb-size option (since 5.0) - -QEMU 5.0 introduced an alternative syntax to specify the size of the translation -block cache, @option{-accel tcg,tb-size=}. The new syntax deprecates the -previously available @option{-tb-size} option. - -@subsection -show-cursor option (since 5.0) - -Use @option{-display sdl,show-cursor=on} or - @option{-display gtk,show-cursor=on} instead. - -@section QEMU Machine Protocol (QMP) commands - -@subsection change (since 2.5.0) - -Use ``blockdev-change-medium'' or ``change-vnc-password'' instead. - -@subsection migrate_set_downtime and migrate_set_speed (since 2.8.0) - -Use ``migrate-set-parameters'' instead. - -@subsection migrate-set-cache-size and query-migrate-cache-size (since 2.11.0) - -Use ``migrate-set-parameters'' and ``query-migrate-parameters'' instead. - -@subsection query-block result field dirty-bitmaps[i].status (since 4.0) - -The ``status'' field of the ``BlockDirtyInfo'' structure, returned by -the query-block command is deprecated. Two new boolean fields, -``recording'' and ``busy'' effectively replace it. - -@subsection query-block result field dirty-bitmaps (Since 4.2) - -The ``dirty-bitmaps`` field of the ``BlockInfo`` structure, returned by -the query-block command is itself now deprecated. The ``dirty-bitmaps`` -field of the ``BlockDeviceInfo`` struct should be used instead, which is the -type of the ``inserted`` field in query-block replies, as well as the -type of array items in query-named-block-nodes. - -Since the ``dirty-bitmaps`` field is optionally present in both the old and -new locations, clients must use introspection to learn where to anticipate -the field if/when it does appear in command output. - -@subsection query-cpus (since 2.12.0) - -The ``query-cpus'' command is replaced by the ``query-cpus-fast'' command. - -@subsection query-cpus-fast "arch" output member (since 3.0.0) - -The ``arch'' output member of the ``query-cpus-fast'' command is -replaced by the ``target'' output member. - -@subsection cpu-add (since 4.0) - -Use ``device_add'' for hotplugging vCPUs instead of ``cpu-add''. See -documentation of ``query-hotpluggable-cpus'' for additional -details. - -@subsection query-events (since 4.0) - -The ``query-events'' command has been superseded by the more powerful -and accurate ``query-qmp-schema'' command. - -@subsection chardev client socket with 'wait' option (since 4.0) - -Character devices creating sockets in client mode should not specify -the 'wait' field, which is only applicable to sockets in server mode - -@section Human Monitor Protocol (HMP) commands - -@subsection The hub_id parameter of 'hostfwd_add' / 'hostfwd_remove' (since 3.1) - -The @option{[hub_id name]} parameter tuple of the 'hostfwd_add' and -'hostfwd_remove' HMP commands has been replaced by @option{netdev_id}. - -@subsection cpu-add (since 4.0) - -Use ``device_add'' for hotplugging vCPUs instead of ``cpu-add''. See -documentation of ``query-hotpluggable-cpus'' for additional details. - -@subsection acl_show, acl_reset, acl_policy, acl_add, acl_remove (since 4.0.0) - -The ``acl_show'', ``acl_reset'', ``acl_policy'', ``acl_add'', and -``acl_remove'' commands are deprecated with no replacement. Authorization -for VNC should be performed using the pluggable QAuthZ objects. - -@section Guest Emulator ISAs - -@subsection RISC-V ISA privledge specification version 1.09.1 (since 4.1) - -The RISC-V ISA privledge specification version 1.09.1 has been deprecated. -QEMU supports both the newer version 1.10.0 and the ratified version 1.11.0, these -should be used instead of the 1.09.1 version. - -@section System emulator CPUS - -@subsection RISC-V ISA CPUs (since 4.1) - -The RISC-V cpus with the ISA version in the CPU name have been depcreated. The -four CPUs are: ``rv32gcsu-v1.9.1``, ``rv32gcsu-v1.10.0``, ``rv64gcsu-v1.9.1`` and -``rv64gcsu-v1.10.0``. Instead the version can be specified via the CPU ``priv_spec`` -option when using the ``rv32`` or ``rv64`` CPUs. - -@subsection RISC-V ISA CPUs (since 4.1) - -The RISC-V no MMU cpus have been depcreated. The two CPUs: ``rv32imacu-nommu`` and -``rv64imacu-nommu`` should no longer be used. Instead the MMU status can be specified -via the CPU ``mmu`` option when using the ``rv32`` or ``rv64`` CPUs. - -@section System emulator devices - -@subsection ide-drive (since 4.2) - -The 'ide-drive' device is deprecated. Users should use 'ide-hd' or -'ide-cd' as appropriate to get an IDE hard disk or CD-ROM as needed. - -@subsection scsi-disk (since 4.2) - -The 'scsi-disk' device is deprecated. Users should use 'scsi-hd' or -'scsi-cd' as appropriate to get a SCSI hard disk or CD-ROM as needed. - -@section System emulator machines - -@subsection mips r4k platform (since 5.0) - -This machine type is very old and unmaintained. Users should use the 'malta' -machine type instead. - -@subsection pc-1.0, pc-1.1, pc-1.2 and pc-1.3 (since 5.0) - -These machine types are very old and likely can not be used for live migration -from old QEMU versions anymore. A newer machine type should be used instead. - -@subsection spike_v1.9.1 and spike_v1.10 (since 4.1) - -The version specific Spike machines have been deprecated in favour of the -generic ``spike`` machine. If you need to specify an older version of the RISC-V -spec you can use the ``-cpu rv64gcsu,priv_spec=v1.9.1`` command line argument. - -@section Device options - -@subsection Emulated device options - -@subsubsection -device virtio-blk,scsi=on|off (since 5.0.0) - -The virtio-blk SCSI passthrough feature is a legacy VIRTIO feature. VIRTIO 1.0 -and later do not support it because the virtio-scsi device was introduced for -full SCSI support. Use virtio-scsi instead when SCSI passthrough is required. - -Note this also applies to ``-device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=on|off'', which is an -alias. - -@subsection Block device options - -@subsubsection "backing": "" (since 2.12.0) - -In order to prevent QEMU from automatically opening an image's backing -chain, use ``"backing": null'' instead. - -@subsubsection rbd keyvalue pair encoded filenames: "" (since 3.1.0) - -Options for ``rbd'' should be specified according to its runtime options, -like other block drivers. Legacy parsing of keyvalue pair encoded -filenames is useful to open images with the old format for backing files; -These image files should be updated to use the current format. - -Example of legacy encoding: - -@code{json:@{"file.driver":"rbd", "file.filename":"rbd:rbd/name"@}} - -The above, converted to the current supported format: - -@code{json:@{"file.driver":"rbd", "file.pool":"rbd", "file.image":"name"@}} - -@section Related binaries - -@subsection qemu-img convert -n -o (since 4.2.0) - -All options specified in @option{-o} are image creation options, so -they have no effect when used with @option{-n} to skip image creation. -Silently ignored options can be confusing, so this combination of -options will be made an error in future versions. - -@section Backwards compatibility - -@subsection Runnability guarantee of CPU models (since 4.1.0) - -Previous versions of QEMU never changed existing CPU models in -ways that introduced additional host software or hardware -requirements to the VM. This allowed management software to -safely change the machine type of an existing VM without -introducing new requirements ("runnability guarantee"). This -prevented CPU models from being updated to include CPU -vulnerability mitigations, leaving guests vulnerable in the -default configuration. - -The CPU model runnability guarantee won't apply anymore to -existing CPU models. Management software that needs runnability -guarantees must resolve the CPU model aliases using te -``alias-of'' field returned by the ``query-cpu-definitions'' QMP -command. - -While those guarantees are kept, the return value of -``query-cpu-definitions'' will have existing CPU model aliases -point to a version that doesn't break runnability guarantees -(specifically, version 1 of those CPU models). In future QEMU -versions, aliases will point to newer CPU model versions -depending on the machine type, so management software must -resolve CPU model aliases before starting a virtual machine. - - -@node Recently removed features -@appendix Recently removed features - -What follows is a record of recently removed, formerly deprecated -features that serves as a record for users who have encountered -trouble after a recent upgrade. - -@section QEMU Machine Protocol (QMP) commands - -@subsection block-dirty-bitmap-add "autoload" parameter (since 4.2.0) - -The "autoload" parameter has been ignored since 2.12.0.

When -guest code gains control of execution on the host this is called escaping the -virtual machine. Isolation also includes resource limits such as throttling of -CPU, memory, disk, or network. Guests must be unable to exceed their resource -limits. - -QEMU presents an attack surface to the guest in the form of emulated devices. -The guest must not be able to gain control of QEMU. Bugs in emulated devices -could allow malicious guests to gain code execution in QEMU. At this point the -guest has escaped the virtual machine and is able to act in the context of the -QEMU process on the host. - -Guests often interact with other guests and share resources with them. A -malicious guest must not gain control of other guests or access their data. -Disk image files and network traffic must be protected from other guests unless -explicitly shared between them by the user. - -@subsection Principle of Least Privilege - -The principle of least privilege states that each component only has access to -the privileges necessary for its function. In the case of QEMU this means that -each process only has access to resources belonging to the guest. - -The QEMU process should not have access to any resources that are inaccessible -to the guest. This way the guest does not gain anything by escaping into the -QEMU process since it already has access to those same resources from within -the guest. - -Following the principle of least privilege immediately fulfills guest isolation -requirements. For example, guest A only has access to its own disk image file -@code{a.img} and not guest B's disk image file @code{b.img}. - -In reality certain resources are inaccessible to the guest but must be -available to QEMU to perform its function. For example, host system calls are -necessary for QEMU but are not exposed to guests. A guest that escapes into -the QEMU process can then begin invoking host system calls. - -New features must be designed to follow the principle of least privilege. -Should this not be possible for technical reasons, the security risk must be -clearly documented so users are aware of the trade-off of enabling the feature. - -@subsection Isolation mechanisms - -Several isolation mechanisms are available to realize this architecture of -guest isolation and the principle of least privilege. With the exception of -Linux seccomp, these mechanisms are all deployed by management tools that -launch QEMU, such as libvirt. They are also platform-specific so they are only -described briefly for Linux here. - -The fundamental isolation mechanism is that QEMU processes must run as -unprivileged users. Sometimes it seems more convenient to launch QEMU as -root to give it access to host devices (e.g. @code{/dev/net/tun}) but this poses a -huge security risk.

It requires specifying the -@code{tls-creds-x509} class name to the @code{--object} command line -argument for the system emulators. Each set of credentials loaded should -be given a unique string identifier via the @code{id} parameter. A single -set of TLS credentials can be used for multiple network backends, so VNC, -migration, NBD, character devices can all share the same credentials. Note, -however, that credentials for use in a client endpoint must be loaded -separately from those used in a server endpoint. - -When specifying the object, the @code{dir} parameters specifies which -directory contains the credential files. This directory is expected to -contain files with the names mentioned previously, @code{ca-cert.pem}, -@code{server-key.pem}, @code{server-cert.pem}, @code{client-key.pem} -and @code{client-cert.pem} as appropriate. It is also possible to -include a set of pre-generated Diffie-Hellman (DH) parameters in a file -@code{dh-params.pem}, which can be created using the -@code{certtool --generate-dh-params} command. If omitted, QEMU will -dynamically generate DH parameters when loading the credentials. - -The @code{endpoint} parameter indicates whether the credentials will -be used for a network client or server, and determines which PEM -files are loaded. - -The @code{verify} parameter determines whether x509 certificate -validation should be performed. This defaults to enabled, meaning -clients will always validate the server hostname against the -certificate subject alt name fields and/or CN field. It also -means that servers will request that clients provide a certificate -and validate them. Verification should never be turned off for -client endpoints, however, it may be turned off for server endpoints -if an alternative mechanism is used to authenticate clients. For -example, the VNC server can use SASL to authenticate clients -instead. - -To load server credentials with client certificate validation -enabled - -@example -@value{qemu_system} -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/etc/pki/qemu,endpoint=server -@end example - -while to load client credentials use - -@example -@value{qemu_system} -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/etc/pki/qemu,endpoint=client -@end example - -Network services which support TLS will all have a @code{tls-creds} -parameter which expects the ID of the TLS credentials object.
