2021-01-29os: deprecate the -enable-fips option and QEMU's FIPS enforcementDaniel P. Berrangé
The -enable-fips option was added a long time ago to prevent the use of single DES when VNC when FIPS mode is enabled. It should never have been added, because apps are supposed to unconditionally honour FIPS mode based on the '/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled' file contents. In addition there is more to achieving FIPS compliance than merely blocking use of certain algorithms. Those algorithms which are used need to perform self-tests at runtime. QEMU's built-in cryptography provider has no support for self-tests, and neither does the nettle library. If QEMU is required to be used in a FIPS enabled host, then it must be built with the libgcrypt library enabled, which will unconditionally enforce FIPS compliance in any algorithm usage. Thus there is no need to keep either the -enable-fips option in QEMU, or QEMU's internal FIPS checking methods.

2019-08-16sysemu: Split sysemu/runstate.h off sysemu/sysemu.hMarkus Armbruster
sysemu/sysemu.h is a rather unfocused dumping ground for stuff related to the system-emulator. Evidence: * It's included widely: in my "build everything" tree, changing sysemu/sysemu.h still triggers a recompile of some 1100 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h, down from 5400 due to the previous two commits). * It pulls in more than a dozen additional headers. Split stuff related to run state management into its own header sysemu/runstate.h. Touching sysemu/sysemu.h now recompiles some 850 objects. qemu/uuid.h also drops from 1100 to 850, and qapi/qapi-types-run-state.h from 4400 to 4200. Touching new sysemu/runstate.h recompiles some 500 objects. Since I'm touching MAINTAINERS to add sysemu/runstate.h anyway, also add qemu/main-loop.h.

2018-10-02util: add qemu_write_pidfile()Marc-André Lureau
There are variants of qemu_create_pidfile() in qemu-pr-helper and qemu-ga. Let's have a common implementation in libqemuutil. The code is initially based from pr-helper write_pidfile(), with various improvements and suggestions from Daniel Berrangé: QEMU will leave the pidfile existing on disk when it exits which initially made me think it avoids the deletion race. The app managing QEMU, however, may well delete the pidfile after it has seen QEMU exit, and even if the app locks the pidfile before deleting it, there is still a race. eg consider the following sequence QEMU 1 libvirtd QEMU 2 1. lock(pidfile) 2. exit() 3. open(pidfile) 4. lock(pidfile) 5. open(pidfile) 6. unlink(pidfile) 7. close(pidfile) 8. lock(pidfile) IOW, at step 8 the new QEMU has successfully acquired the lock, but the pidfile no longer exists on disk because it was deleted after the original QEMU exited. While we could just say no external app should ever delete the pidfile, I don't think that is satisfactory as people don't read docs, and admins don't like stale pidfiles being left around on disk. To make this robust, I think we might want to copy libvirt's approach to pidfile acquisition which runs in a loop and checks that the file on disk /after/ acquiring the lock matches the file that was locked. Then we could in fact safely let QEMU delete its own pidfiles on clean exit..

2015-04-01rcu: do not create thread in pthread_atfork callbackPaolo Bonzini
If QEMU forks after the CPU threads have been created, qemu_mutex_lock_iothread will not be able to do qemu_cpu_kick_thread. There is no solution other than assuming that forks after the CPU threads have been created will end up in an exec. Forks before the CPU threads have been created (such as -daemonize) have to call rcu_after_fork manually. Notably, the oxygen theme for GTK+ forks and shows a "No such process" error without this patch. This patch can be reverted once the iothread loses the "kick the TCG thread" magic. User-mode emulation does not use the iothread, so it can also call rcu_after_fork.

This reverts commit e5048d15ce6addae869f23514b2a1f0d4466418a. qemu_create_pidfile() is only created from main(), and there, if that function returns failure, os_pidfile_error() function is called, to, guess that, report error (which is done differently whenever we're daemonizing or not). qemu_create_pidfile() function has several error returns, this lockf() failure is one of them, there are others (another shown in the patch context too). So this patch makes whole thing inconsistent at least. If we need to show error message when we're daemonizing, it looks like we should modify os_pidfile_error() routine to always report error and only after that check for daemon mode.

2011-06-15Introduce format string for pid_tAndreas Färber
BeOS and Haiku on i386 use long for 32-bit types, including pid_t. Using %d with pid_t therefore results in a warning. Unfortunately POSIX:2008 does not define a PRId* string for pid_t. In some places pid_t was previously casted to long and %ld hardcoded. The predecessor of this patch added another upcast for the simpletrace filename but was not applied to date. Since new uses of pid_t with %d keep creeping in, let's instead define an OS-dependent format string and use that consistently.
