[PATCH v4 0/6] cover: RFE libvirt secret encryption on disk
by Arun Menon 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Libvirt secrets are stored unencrypted on the disk. With this series we want to start encrypting the secrets. 1. Introduce the GnuTLS decryption wrapper functions that work exact opposite to the encryption wrappers. 2. Add a new service called virt-secrets-init-encryption, that is linked to the virtsecretd service. virtsecretd service only starts after the new service generates a random encryption key. 3. Add a new secrets.conf configuration file that helps user to set a. secrets_encryption_key - allows the user to specify the encryption key file path, in case the default key is not to be used. b. encrypt_data - set to 0 or 1. If set to 1, then the newly added secrets will be encrypted. 4. Add encryption scheme or cipher attribute that will allow us to choose the last used cipher. 5. Once we have the encryption key, and a reliable way to tell the daemon what encryption scheme the secret object is using, we can encrypt the secrets on disk and store them in <uuid>.<encryption_scheme> format. It is important to note that if the encryption key is changed between restarts, then the respective secret will not be loaded by the driver. 6. Add documentation. This is a sincere attempt to improve upon the already submitted patch https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/thread/KE6G… Resolves: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-7125 --- Changes in v3: - Fix the regression of loading unencrypted secrets after an upgrade. Previously the .base64 unencrypted secrets were not being loaded. - Add documentation on encrypted secrets. Changes in v3: - Secrets xml configuration no longer stores the encryption scheme, therefore not allowing the user to toggle between ciphers. - Removed unnecessary socket files of the new service. It now has a general configuration with which it starts. - Addressed review comments from Peter on coding style and design. - Loading of secrets is dependent on the file extension. Most recent cipher is used while saving the secrets. Changes in v2: - Corrected the encryption key length check. It should be 32. - Added a new patch that introduces the encryption scheme attribute. This will help us identify which secrets are encrypted. - A new systemd unit service file added that starts before virtsecretd, helping us to construct a random encryption key and pass it to the virtsecretd service. - Parsing logic of secrets.conf moved to a separate file. - Spec file changes, augeas. Arun Menon (6): util: Add support for GnuTLS decryption secret: Set up default encryption secret key for the virtsecretd service secret: Add secret.conf configuration file and parse it secret: Rename virSecretObj structure attribute from base64File to secretValueFile secret: Add functionality to load and save secrets in encrypted format docs: secret: Add documentation of secret encryption feature docs/drvsecret.rst | 4 + docs/meson.build | 1 + docs/secretencryption.rst | 86 ++++++++ include/libvirt/virterror.h | 1 + libvirt.spec.in | 8 + po/POTFILES | 1 + src/conf/virsecretobj.c | 193 ++++++++++++++---- src/conf/virsecretobj.h | 18 +- src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/meson.build | 1 + src/remote/libvirtd.service.in | 4 + src/secret/libvirt_secrets.aug | 40 ++++ src/secret/meson.build | 32 +++ src/secret/secret.conf.in | 14 ++ src/secret/secret_config.c | 179 ++++++++++++++++ src/secret/secret_config.h | 40 ++++ src/secret/secret_driver.c | 34 ++- src/secret/test_libvirt_secrets.aug.in | 6 + .../virt-secret-init-encryption.service.in | 8 + src/secret/virtsecretd.service.extra.in | 8 + src/util/vircrypto.c | 126 +++++++++++- src/util/vircrypto.h | 8 + src/util/virerror.c | 3 + tests/vircryptotest.c | 65 ++++++ 24 files changed, 831 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/secretencryption.rst create mode 100644 src/secret/libvirt_secrets.aug create mode 100644 src/secret/secret.conf.in create mode 100644 src/secret/secret_config.c create mode 100644 src/secret/secret_config.h create mode 100644 src/secret/test_libvirt_secrets.aug.in create mode 100644 src/secret/virt-secret-init-encryption.service.in -- 2.51.1

[RFC PATCH v5 0/7] riscv: add initial sdext support
by Chao Liu 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Hi, Per Daniel's review feedback, this v5 series is based on Alistair's riscv-to-apply.next branch [3]. It depends on patches 1-5 of Max Chou's "Add Zvfbfa extension support" v2 series (not included; apply them first) [2]. It is based on RISC-V Debug Specification 1.0 [1]. It introduces the sdext/sdtrig config bits, DCSR/DPC/DSCRATCH state, Debug Mode enter/leave helpers, DRET, EBREAK entry, single-step, and trigger action=debug mode. To reduce review load, this series focuses on the Sdext features first. The Debug Module (DM) and related flows will follow in a later series. Changes in v5: - Patch 2: removed redundant `cpu->cfg.ext_sdext = false;` in riscv_cpu_init() since it's already set to false in MULTI_EXT_CFG_BOOL. (Daniel) - Patch 7: changed LOG_UNIMP to LOG_GUEST_ERROR for invalid trigger action=debug mode when Sdext is not enabled. LOG_UNIMP is reserved for unimplemented features, while LOG_GUEST_ERROR is for invalid guest actions. (Daniel) Changes in v4: - Fixed linux-user build errors: moved debug_mode/dcsr/dpc/dscratch fields inside #ifndef CONFIG_USER_ONLY block in cpu.h, and wrapped all code using these fields with proper guards. (Daniel) - Updated dependency from single patch (patch 5 only) to patches 1-5 of Max Chou's "Add Zvfbfa extension support" v2 series to avoid compilation errors. Changes in v3: - Rebase onto Alistair's riscv-to-apply.next branch. - Depend on Max Chou's patch "target/riscv: Use the tb->cs_bqse as the extend tb flags." (not included; apply it first) [2]. - Patch 2: default sdext to false in riscv_cpu_extensions[]. Changes in v2: - Drop the RHCT expected AML update from this series. - Replace the split sdext/sdtrig config bits patch with deprecating the 'debug' CPU property. - Rebase and update patch subjects to target/riscv prefix. Changes in v1: - Debug Mode entry/exit updates DCSR/DPC and restores execution via DRET. - EBREAK honors DCSR ebreak bits and enters Debug Mode when enabled. - Single-step uses DCSR.STEP with a TB flag and a helper at TB exit. It references Max Chou's patch "target/riscv: Use the tb->cs_bqse as the extend tb flags." [2]. - Sdtrig supports action=debug mode for mcontrol/mcontrol6 and reports inst-count triggers in tinfo. Differences vs Debug Spec (known gaps): - No Debug Module (no DMI, dmcontrol/dmstatus, haltreq/resumereq). - No debug ROM, program buffer, abstract commands, or SBA. - Resume is modeled by leaving Debug Mode at cpu_exec_enter. - Step/exception ordering is simplified: if the stepped instruction traps, the normal exception is taken and Debug Mode is not forced. - Several DCSR fields are not fully modeled (stopcount/stoptime, etc). Roadmap (next stage, DM focus): 1) Add a DM core with DMI access and hart state tracking. 2) Implement halt/resume handshake and move Debug Mode transitions under DM control. 3) Add debug ROM, program buffer, and abstract commands for GPR/CSR and memory access. 4) Add SBA if required by tooling. 5) Tighten ordering rules for step/exception/trigger priorities.

[PATCH v3 0/5] nwfilter: add nwfilter nftables driver
by Dion Bosschieter 09 Feb '26

09 Feb '26

This series aims to implement nftables as a backend driver for the nwfilter feature. The idea is that eventually it will replace the ebiptables driver and provide an easy way for users to switch from one driver to another. The first 2 patches are moving of functions and renames, meant to decouple nwfilter from the currently only existing ebiptables driver. The 3rd patch introduces the new nwfilter driver. After which nwfilter allows users to choose it in the 4th patch. The last patch introduces unit testing of the new nftables driver. - Implemented very basic nwfilter.conf reading and choosing a nwfilter driver based on the name of the drivers (nftables/ebiptables). Defaults to the nftables driver, based on the firewall_backend_priority meson option, following the bridge driver logic. - Resolves issue https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/603 benchmarks showed that the amount of iifname jumps for each interface with is the cause for this. Switched the nftables driver towards a vmap (verdict map) so we can have 1 rule that jumps to the correct root input/output chain per interface. Which improves throughput as when the number of interface check and jump rules increases the throughput decreases. The issue describes the interface matching works using the interface name and the majority of the effort is the strncpy, this commit also switches nftables to an interface_index compare instead. However, just using the interface_index is not enough, the amount of oif and iif jump rules causes quite a performance issue, the vmap instead solves this. - Split rules into separate tables: "libvirt-nwfilter-ethernet" and "libvirt-nwfilter-other" to preserve existing firewall behavior. - Reworked chain logic for clarity with root -input/-output chains per interface. input in the VM interface is filtered in the -input chain(s), output out of the VM inteface is filtered in the -output chain(s). - Stuck with prerouting and postrouting as hooks for input / output on the -ethernet and -other table. This makes it easier to merge the tables in the future. Saving management of two tables and decreasing the amount of tables a packet sees. Currently ebtables filtering happens via PREROUTING and POSTROUTING hooks, while ip/ip6tables filtering happens in the output/forward hooks. - Stuck with 2 tables for compatibility reasons with eb iptables, unifying into 1 table will break users firewall definitions, which depend on being able to do accepts on ethernet rules (which currently get defined via ebtables) and additional filtering via the ip rules (which currently get defined via ip(6)tables). The nwfilter_nftables_driver keeps splitting the ethernet and non ethernet (other) rules in seperate tables "libvirt-nwfilter-ethernet" and "libvirt-nwfilter-other". - Rewrote chain logic, so it is easier to understand, input in the VM interface is filtered in the -input chain(s), output out of the VM inteface is filtered in the -output chain(s). -ethernet and -other table follow the same style and hook in the same way. - Simplified conntrack handling: rules with accept+conntrack are duplicated to the opposite chain for symmetric behavior, to support the existing ebiptables logic. - Firewall updates continue use tmp names for atomic replacement. Unsupported nwfilter features (for now): - STP filtering - Gratuitous ARP filtering - IPSets (potential future support via nft sets) - Reject due to filtering in pre/postrouting, using drop instead of reject, copying logic from existing ebiptables ebtables actions Future improvements: - Use `nft -f` for atomic rule application. - Optional single-table mode via nwfilter.conf. - Optimize boot phase with chain hash comparison. --- Changes in v3: - Renamed -other to -inet - Renamed - to _ in table names - Updated rule / chain sorting on ethernet table to to copy ebtables logic - Fix possible broken revert path - Fix remove rules not working in some cases, EBUSY - Shared functions camel case commit - Rename config option - Add extra config params, enable_trace, enable_counters This required passing the config struct to the ebip/nft nwfilter drivers - Add extra augeaus files Changes in v2: - Rename {ebip,nf}tables specific test files in 1 directory instead of seperating them in different directories. - Added default nwfilter.conf file in git, documented including augeas files - Replaced hardcoding of default driver based on existing firewall_backend_priority meson option. - Added nwfilter_driver_conf.{h,c} for configuration handling, to match the common pattern used in other drivers. Dion Bosschieter (5): nwfilter: rename generic names to virNWFilter* and CamelCase nwfilter: move shared nwfilter driver functions into nwfilter_tech_driver.c nwfilter: add nwfilter nftables driver

[PATCH v2 00/38] qemu: Implement support for uefi-vars device (varstore element)
by Andrea Bolognani 09 Feb '26

09 Feb '26

This series makes it possible to use Secure Boot with aarch64 VMs. https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-82645 Note that, while I consider the entire series to be ready for review, there are two patches that are marked as DONOTMERGE: that's because they respectively implement support for a JSON firmware descriptor syntax extension that has not yet been approved, and import into the tree firmware descriptor that are not yet part of the Fedora edk2 package. The latter depends on the former, of course, for which patches have been posted[1] to the QEMU mailing list. Changes from [v1]: * rewrite based on review feedback: the <nvram> element is no longer used, and a dedicated <varstore> element is introduced instead; * additional test coverage, as well as fixes and improvements related to firmware selection and its documentation, are present as well.

[PATCH] virsh: Switch cmdDomIfAddr() to vshTable
by Michal Privoznik 09 Feb '26

09 Feb '26

From: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> The aim of cmdDomIfAddr() is to obtain IP addresses for given domain and then print (ifName, MAC, type, IP Address) tuple. Preferably in an aligned table. This is hard to do with printf style of spacing ("%-NNs") since the interface name (ifName) can vary a lot in length. Fortunately, we have vshTable which is designed to handle this case.

[PATCH v6 00/27] hw/i386/pc: Remove deprecated 2.6 and 2.7 PC machines
by Zhao Liu 07 Feb '26

07 Feb '26

Hi, This v6 is based on the master branch at the commit 0fc482b73d8e ("Merge tag 'pull-aspeed-20260105' of https://github.com/legoater/qemu into staging"). Since there's the discussion around fw_cfg_init_io_nodma() [*], v6 doesn't include that cleanups. Therefore, comparing v5, v6 has *very* minimal changes and most of patches have been reviewed (except patch 15 - I think it needs an additianl review :-) ). Thanks for your patience and review! Introduction ============ A brief introduction from Philippe's v4: The versioned 'pc' and 'q35' machines up to 2.12 been marked as deprecated three releases ago, and are older than 6 years, so according to our support policy we can remove them. This series only includes the 2.6 and 2.7 machines removal, as it is a big enough number of LoC removed. Rest will follow. Change Log ========== (Main) changes since v5: * Merge pc & q35 changes for testing DSDT tables into one patch and simplify the commit message. * Reorganize S-o-b and collect review tags from Igor. (Main) changes since v4: * Completely remove the legacy CPU hotplug approach. - New patch 2-8. - Test CPU hot-plug & hot-unplug via qmp. * Keep "dma_enabled" property in fw_cfg_io_properties[] since Sun4u & Sun4v are still using it. - About more details, please see commit message of patch 15. * Temporarily keep these properties: "cpuid-0xb" (of X86CPU), "fill-mtrr-mask" (of X86CPU), "version" (of IOAPICCommonState). - These properties will be deprecated first before removal, in another series. * Keep "l3-cache" (of X86CPU) and "page-per-vq" (of VirtIOPCIProxy), since they are still in use (e.g., libvirt).

[PATCH RFC 0/5] qemu: Adjust to deprecation of -netdev tap properties 'fd' and 'vhostfd' - Variant B
by Peter Krempa 06 Feb '26

06 Feb '26

This patchset adapts libvirt to the proposed deprecation of 'fd'/'vhostfd' fields in favor of the plural spellings even for 1 fd. Based on the discussion [1] it seems that it should be possible to replace it unconditionally but I'm not certain about this and also it's outside my usual area of expertise. Thus this version is the more cautious approach of adding a capability and only switching the generator once deprecations are set up. While adding the capability I've also uncovered a bug in the QMP query strings where it was not possible to query features of an object member.

Based on the discussion [1] it seems that it should be possible to replace it unconditionally but I'm not certain about this and also it's outside my usual area of expertise. This is the optimistic approach should it be possible for us to unconditionally use the plural variands. Reordering the patches shows that the proposal causes test suite failures in our code.
