[PATCH v6 0/7] riscv: add initial sdext support
by Chao Liu 27 May '26

27 May '26

Hi, This v6 series is rebased on Alistair's riscv-to-apply.next branch [1]. The implementation follows RISC-V Debug Specification 1.0 [2]. 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 v6: - Rebased onto latest riscv-to-apply.next 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) [3]. - 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." [3]. - 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. CI (all jobs passed except check-patch which flags pre-existing upstream style issues, not related to this series) [4].

Reboot events
by Marek Marczykowski-Górecki 27 May '26

27 May '26

Hi, What should be the events fired when VM requests reboot? Currently the libxl driver fires VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_STOPPED, and if on_reboot is set to restart, it fires VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_STARTED next to it (in fact, _STARTED gets fired before _STOPPED here, but it's another issue). What I'd like to do, is to set on_reboot to destroy, but still receive information whether VM requested just shutdown or reboot, so my application (qubesd daemon) can act on it. I see VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_REBOOT, but it's not used in libxl. What's the intended semantic of it? Should it be fired next to the lifecycle event (VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_STOPPED/VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_STARTED)? Or instead? Is it okay to fire it even if on_reboot=destroy? -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab

[PATCH] tests: Link qemuxml2argvmock with test_utils_lib
by Michal Privoznik 27 May '26

27 May '26

From: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com> When running qemuxmlconftest under valgrind, it fails with a symbol lookup error: valgrind: symbol lookup error: libvirt.git/_build/tests/libqemuxml2argvmock.so: undefined symbol: virTestMakeDummyFD This occurs because qemuxml2argvmock uses the virTestMakeDummyFD() function (implemented in testutils.c) but does not explicitly link against test_utils_lib. Fix this by linking the test utils library to the mock library, statically.

[PATCH v7 02/22] vhost: drop backend_features field
by Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy 27 May '26

27 May '26

This field is mostly unused and sometimes confusing. We even have a TODO-like comment to drop it, the comment is removed in this commit. The field is used to held VHOST_USER_F_PROTOCOL_FEATURES for vhost-user and/or VHOST_NET_F_VIRTIO_NET_HDR for vhost-net (which may be vhost-user-net). But we can simply recalculate these two flags in place from hdev->features, and from net-client for VHOST_NET_F_VIRTIO_NET_HDR. Note: removing field from x-query-virtio-status result is incompatible change. We can do it because the command is unstable.

[PATCH v1 0/7] Add TLS-PSK support for migration
by Abhisek Panda 26 May '26

26 May '26

QEMU provides the ability to encrypt the migration data stream using two transport layer security (TLS) authentication schemes: X.509 certificates and pre-shared keys (PSK). Currently, Libvirt only supports the X.509-based TLS authentication scheme. In TLS X.509 certificates, a set of live migrations utilize a fixed set of static certificates for encrypted migration. In this authentication scheme, users require to deploy a certificate authority and monitor the certificate expiration window. In case certificates are compromised all the future live migrations are vulnerable. To resolve this, the patch series introduce the alternative pre-shared key-based authentication scheme. This mechanism relies on symmetric pre-shared keys (a secret key that is known to both sender and receiver prior to secure communication) for providing secure transfer of data. During a migration, the parties negotiate which unique key to utilize for encrypting the migration data. To improve the security further, we utilize different key files for each migration session.

[PATCH v1 0/7] Add TLS-PSK support for migration
by Abhisek Panda 26 May '26

26 May '26

QEMU provides the ability to encrypt the migration data stream using two transport layer security (TLS) authentication schemes: X.509 certificates and pre-shared keys (PSK). Currently, Libvirt only supports the X.509-based TLS authentication scheme. In TLS X.509 certificates, a set of live migrations utilize a fixed set of static certificates for encrypted migration. In this authentication scheme, users require to deploy a certificate authority and monitor the certificate expiration window. In case certificates are compromised all the future live migrations are vulnerable. To resolve this, the patch series introduce the alternative pre-shared key-based authentication scheme. This mechanism relies on symmetric pre-shared keys (a secret key that is known to both sender and receiver prior to secure communication) for providing secure transfer of data. During a migration, the parties negotiate which unique key to utilize for encrypting the migration data. To improve the security further, we utilize different key files for each migration session.

[PATCH 0/2] Deal with G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE pitfalls
by Peter Krempa 26 May '26

26 May '26

G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE invokes PCRE's JIT optimizer for regexes which requires writable executable memory. This clashes with the 'execmem' SELinux permission which we don't really want to grant to any of the virt daemons. Since all uses of G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE are on code paths unlikely to hit the ~3x performance penalty of using interpeted evaluation of the regex rather than the JIT'd one we can simply remove the optimization from the rest of the calls. (Only 3 of 10 used it). Patch 2 is optional; selinux can simply ban 'execmem' and mark it as 'dontaudit'. glib will fall back to the interpreter. The patches are based on a discussion which I've summarized in: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/RHEL-44901 Peter Krempa (2): syntax-check: Add warning about implications of G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE Avoid use of glib's G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE flag build-aux/syntax-check.mk | 13 +++++++++++++ src/conf/domain_event.c | 2 +- src/util/vircommand.c | 2 +- src/util/virlog.c | 2 +- 4 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.54.0
