[PATCH v2 1/2] qemu: support riscv-aia feature for RISC-V KVM
by BillXiang 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

From: xiangwencheng <xiangwencheng(a)lanxincomputing.com> riscv-aia feature was introduced in qemu-8.2 to specify the KVM AIA mode. The "riscv-aia" parameter is passed along with -accel in QEMU command-line. 1) "riscv-aia=emul": IMSIC is emulated by hypervisor 2) "riscv-aia=hwaccel": use hardware guest IMSIC 3) "riscv-aia=auto": use the hardware guest IMSICs whenever available otherwise we fallback to software emulation. This patch add the corresponding feature named 'riscv-aia'. Signed-off-by: BillXiang <xiangwencheng(a)lanxincomputing.com> --- v1[1] -> v2: - Separate changes to NEWS.rst into a separate commit. - Remove changes to qemuxmlconfdata files that are used by x86. - Store riscv-aia mode as enum. - Remove VIR_DOMAIN_KVM_RISCV_AIA from virDomainDefFeaturesCheckABIStability beacuse it doesn't support migration currently.

[PATCH] qemu: fix multiple missing setup/teardown of passt process for interface type='vhostuser'
by Laine Stump 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

passt networking support was originally added only for <interface type='user'>, and all of the codepaths leading to qemuPasst*() functions were protected with if (net->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_USER && net->backend.type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_BACKEND_PASST) When support was later added to use a vhost-user socket to connect between the passt process and qemu process, *some* of the conditionals similar to the above were changed to be if ((net->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_USER || net->type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_TYPE_VHOSTUSER) && net->backend.type == VIR_DOMAIN_NET_BACKEND_PASST) As a matter of fact, enough of these places were changed to make passt+vhostuser work. However I missed a few places that resulted in the passt process not being properly shutdown/cleaned up when the interface type was vhostuser, and also as far as I can see from examining the code, the passt process wasn't being added to the cgroup for the domain. We could fix these problems by adding the extra condition to all the missing places (checking for either 'user' or 'vhostuser' as well as for backend type of 'passt'), but since validation already guarantees that if backend type='passt' then the interface type MUST be either 'user' or 'vhostuser', it's really just adding extra code for no good purpose (and would leave open the possibility of the same problem recurring in the future if a different interface type begins using passt as well). So the better solution is to not bother checking net->type at all in those locations - if backend type is 'passt' then we call the passt-related code.

[PATCH v2 0/1] virt-aa-helper: Avoid duplicate when append rule
by Hector CAO 21 Aug '25

21 Aug '25

when a device is dynamically attached to a VM, and it needs a special system access for apparmor, libvirt calls virt-aa-helper (with argument -F) to append a new rule to the apparmor profile of the VM. virt-aa-helper does not check for duplicate and blindly appends the rule to the profile. since there is no rule removal when a device is detached, this can make the profile grow in size if a big number of attach/detach operations are done and the profile might hit the size limit and futur attach operations might dysfunction because no rule can be added into the apparmor profile. this patch tries to mitigate this issue by doing a duplicate check when rules are appended into the profile. this fix does not guarantee the absence of duplicates but should be enough to prevent the profile to grow significantly in size and reach its size limit. This v2 takes into account the feedback from Michal Prívozník for the original submission: https://lists.libvirt.org/archives/list/devel@lists.libvirt.org/thread/2HIZ… v2: - early exit if duplicate is detected - improve the check condition for existing profile data Hector Cao (1): virt-aa-helper: Avoid duplicate when append rule src/security/virt-aa-helper.c | 15 +++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 2.34.1

[PATCH 0/4] Enable mshv support for Qemu domains

"[PATCH v3 00/26] Implementing a MSHV (Microsoft Hypervisor) accelerator" patchset in qemu-devel mailing list introduces MSHV support within Qemu. With above patchset, Qemu guests can be started with `-accel mshv` option to use Microsoft Hypervisor (/dev/mshv) as the hypervisor. Retaining Libvirt's naming convention, this translates to `hyperv` domains. Below is an excerpt of the xml to use with this patcset: ``` <domain type='hyperv'> <name>qemu_msh_testv</name> <cpu mode='host-model'/> <os> <type machine='q35'>hvm</type> </os> ... ``` This patch set introduces the necessary changes within libvirt to support Qemu guest with hyperv (mshv) hypervisor.

We have a planned outage of the libvirt.org mailing lists on Monday 25th August. The outage is anticipated to begin at approx 10:00 JST (Japan), and all going well, should last no more than a couple hours. There will be various cosmetic changes to the lists.libvirt.org web interface after the upgrade, due to the newer software versions introduced.

[PATCH 00/12] util: sync error_report & qemu_log output more closely
by Daniel P. Berrangé 20 Aug '25

20 Aug '25

This series is a tangent that came out of discussion in https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2025-08/msg00903.html In thinking about adding thread info to error_report, I came to realize we should likely make qemu_log behave consistently with error_report & friends more generally. We already honour '-msg timestamp=on' in both (with duplicated code), and qemu_log doesn't honour the '-msg guest-name=on' parameter, nor will it include the binary name. This series shouldn't be considered mutually exclusive with Manos' backtrace suggestion above - it is complementary & each proposal can be evaluated independently. As an example of the current state, consider mixing error and log output today: - Default context: # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish \ -d 'trace:qcrypto*' qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x55ac6d97f700 dir=fish qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x55ac6d97f700 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none> qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory - Full context: # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish \ -d 'trace:qcrypto*' \ -msg guest-name=on,timestamp=on \ -name "fish food" 2025-08-19T20:14:16.791413Z qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x55e9a3458d10 dir=fish 2025-08-19T20:14:16.791429Z qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x55e9a3458d10 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none> 2025-08-19T20:14:16.791433Z fish food qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory And after this series is complete: - Default context: # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish \ -d 'trace:qcrypto*' qemu-system-x86_64(1184284:main): qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x55a24ad5cb30 dir=fish qemu-system-x86_64(1184284:main): qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x55a24ad5cb30 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none> qemu-system-x86_64(1184284:main): Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory - Full context: # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish \ -d 'trace:qcrypto*' \ -msg guest-name=on,timestamp=on \ -name "fish food" 2025-08-19T20:12:50.211823Z [fish food] qemu-system-x86_64(1168876:main): qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x5582183d8760 dir=fish 2025-08-19T20:12:50.211842Z [fish food] qemu-system-x86_64(1168876:main): qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x5582183d8760 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none> 2025-08-19T20:12:50.211846Z [fish food] qemu-system-x86_64(1168876:main): Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory The main things to note: * error_report/warn_report/qemu_log share the same output format and -msg applies to both * -msg debug-threads=on is now unconditionally enabled and thus the param is deprecated & ignored * Thread ID and name are unconditionally enabled * Guest name is surrounded in [...] brackets * The default output lines are typically 15 chars wider given that we always include the thread ID + name now * This takes the liberty of assigning the new file to the existing error-report.c maintainer (Markus) Since splitting it off into message.c instead of putting it all in error-report.c felt slightly nicer. One thing I didn't tackle is making the location info get reported for qemu_log. This is used to give context for error messages when parsing some CLI args, and could be interesting for log messages associated with those same CLI args. I'm not too happy with the constructor priority logic, but I don't see a better option, as I don't think it is practical to order .o files passed to the linker in a way that nicely guarantees the order of constructor execution.
