[libvirt] [PATCH 0/3] Cosmetic changes to SPICE QEMU commandline
by Christophe Fergeau 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hey, I've been trying out the recently adding virgl support, which does not need any TCP port/address to be set (it's directly opening a local unix fd). While looking at QEMU command line in configs such as <graphics type="spice" autoport="no"/>, I've noticed that the QEMU command line gets some 'useless' arguments such as -spice port=0 or -spice addr=127.0.0.1 (without a port defined). This series changes the spice command line generation so that we don't add these arguments when not needed. Christophe

[libvirt] [PATCH v5 0/2] notify about reverting to a snapshot
by Dmitry Andreev 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

The original idea of this patch-set was to notify API clients about changes in domain configuration on revert to a snapshot. But in the last review Cole noticed that updated configuration doesn't saved to a file and libvirtd reboot drops changes. So in the patch-set v5 configuration is saved and event is emitted for all cases when persistent domain configuration was updated from a snapshot.

[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] qemu: Support for QXL heads
by Martin Kletzander 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

So this is an old, tiny series that was posted some time ago; actually a lot of time ago. I complained because of two things. First one being that there are no tests, so this series has them in. The second one was that this could break migration from old code since the parameter was not used before. So I coded up a migration flag, handled all the special cases and then started testing it. And while testing it, I've found out that QEMU doesn't care at all about this parameter being there and there is no point in keeping it super-stable, especially when it can be changed on the fly. So I removed all that code and ended up with tiny series very similar to previous attempts by various people.

[libvirt] User Behavior Tracking defenses in VMs
by bancfc＠openmailbox.org 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

Intended for qemu-discuss /cc/ libvir-list, whonix-devel, tor-dev *** Hello. I work on WhonixOS an anonymity distro based on Tor. This feature request is related to the topics of privacy and anonymity. Its a complex topic and probably not in your area of focus but I think it has important implications because security and privacy are very much related in today's hostile computing environment. Virtualization is useful in presenting an identical environment and set of "hardware" for each user which goes a long way in creating an anonymity set of systems. That way a system attacker, advertisers and online trackers would not be able to fingerprint a user or their hardware. The problem: Tracking techniques have become more sophisticated with time. They advanced from simple cookies to browser/device fingerprinting (which Tor Browser focuses on defeating) to user behavior fingerprinting. The latter is about profiling how a user types on a keyboard or uses a mouse [2]. Keystroke dynamics is a super creepy way to track users based on how long they press keys (dwell time) and the time between key presses (gap time). This is extremely accurate at identifying individuals because of how unique these measurements are. Advertising networks (Google, Facebook...) that fingeprprint users on both the clearnet and Tor can deanonymize users. This technique is already actively used in the wild [6][7]. Potential Solutions: Since input devices are all emulated its a great opportunity to stop this profiling technique. * A security researcher designed a proof of concept plugin for Chrome browser that mitigates this. Implementing something like the PoC addon in [1] known as KeyBoardPrivacy. Some random delay in milliseconds in a 50 millisecond range for dwell and gap times for the emulated keyboards is enough to skew the values to render this attack useless while not affecting performance. * The changes made to Tor Borwser to make JS timers more coarse grained but constant (250ms for keyboard events) were not enough to stop keystroke dynamics fingerprinting because a malicious script can evict the cache and allow extrapolation of true timing events within 1-5ms accuracy .[3][5] Their goal is to instead add jitter to the timers [4]. A similar solution proposed in [4] can be implemented in all QEMU-KVM timers to mitigate both attacks.

[libvirt] [PATCH] schema: support 'default' cache mode

[libvirt] Storage Backend - buildVolFrom Semantics
by Richard Laager 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

storage_backend_rbd.c uses an RBD clone operation to implement buildVolFrom. If I'm understanding the RBD documentation correctly, you cannot delete the parent until the clone has been deleted: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/dev/rbd-layering/ "Before cloning a snapshot, you must mark it as protected, to prevent it from being deleted while child images refer to it:" & "To delete the parent, you must first mark it unprotected, which checks that there are no children left:" Is libvirt okay with those semantics for volumes? That is, if you clone a volume, is it acceptable that you cannot delete the parent until you delete the clone? The answer to this affects how I'll write a patch to implement buildVolFrom for storage_backend_zfs.c. -- Richard
