[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 0/2] docs: Improve sample configuration files

[Andrea Bolognani]

Changes since [v7]

  * Paperwork:
    - add missing Signed-off-by tags;
    - pick up Reviewed-by tags from v7.

Changes since [v6]

  * Address review comments:
    - re-introduce optical media support;
    - rename PCIe Root Ports from pci.* to pcie.*;
    - remove reference to GTK+.

Changes since [v5]

  * Address review comments:
    - use the native serial console rather than the VirtIO
      based one, and enable monitor multiplexing so that
      the user can switch between the two;
    - add GIC version configuration;
    - improve wording all over the place.

  * Improvements:
    - add information about Debian/Ubuntu firmware
      packages.

Changes since [v4]

  * Improvements:
    - move storage configuration from the command line
      to the configuration files so that the command
      line is shorter and we can provide better
      documentation for the various parts;
    - configure the amount of memory for the guest in
      the file too;
    - document the fact that you might want/need to use
      '-serial stdio' and '-display vnc=...' in some
      situations;
    - fix the value of 'port' for one of the
      pcie-root-port devices;
    - fix some inaccurate comments.

  * Arguably the opposite:
    - remove the sample command line for running a live
      OS from the file header. I could be convinced to
      add it back as a (commented) section about it, if
      people think it's useful enough.

Changes since [v3]

  * Address review comments:
    - place VGA at 00:01.0;
    - use pcie-root-port instead of ioh3420 in
      q35-virtio-*.cfg;
    - add a comment to let users know that PCI Express
      devices should not be placed on the legacy PCI
      bridge.

Changes since [v2]

  * Address review comments:
    - use -nodefaults in q35-emulated.cfg too;
    - add explicit VGA and Ethernet.

  * Improvements:
    - use virtconsole and virtio-serial instead of
      isa-serial in q35-virtio-serial.cfg.

  * Possibily controversial:
    - get rid of q35-virtio-common.cfg and add the PCIe
      Root Ports back into q35-virtio-*.cfg: while this
      leads to having some duplicated content, I feel like
      the sample configurations are much more useful when
      they can stand entirely on their own, especially now
      that they start with a detailed hardware listing.

  * Cosmetic stuff:
    - hardware listing looks like the output of lspci;
    - section names match what's used in the hardware
      listing so it's faster to jump to the section;
    - PCI addresses also match the output of lspci;
    - PCI Express is used instead of PCIe.

Changes since [v1]

  * Address review comments:
    - improve the existing configuration file instead
      of removing it;
    - split off the common part for VirtIO guests;
    - plug all ioh3420 devices in a single slot;
    - use slot 1c for ioh3420 devices;
    - remove useless USB keyboard.

  * Improve usage description:
    - make sure the OS disk actually uses the VirtIO
      SCSI controller, as intended, rather than the
      built-in SATA one;
    - provide a command line for running live CDs.

  * Document more devices:
    - the video card is added by default;
    - so is the Ethernet adapter, apparently.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 1/2] q35: Improve sample configuration files

[Andrea Bolognani]

Instead of having a single sample configuration file,
we now have several:

  * q35-emulated.cfg documents the default devices QEMU
    adds to a q35 guest and the additional devices that
    are pretty much guaranteed to be present in a
    physical q35-based machine;

  * q35-virtio-graphical.cfg can be used to start a
    fully-featured (USB, graphical console, audio, etc.)
    guest that uses VirtIO instead of emulated devices;

  * q35-virtio-serial.cfg is similar but has a minimal
    set of devices and uses the serial console.

All configuration files are fully commented and neatly
organized.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v8 2/2] mach-virt: Provide sample configuration files

[Andrea Bolognani]

These are very much like the sample configuration files
for q35, and can be used both as documentation and as
a starting point for creating your own guest.

Two sample configuration files are provided:

  * mach-virt-graphical.cfg can be used to start a
    fully-featured (USB, graphical console, etc.)
    guest that uses VirtIO devices;

  * mach-virt-serial.cfg is similar but has a minimal
    set of devices and uses the serial console.

All configuration files are fully commented and neatly
organized.

+# Firmware configuration
+# =========================================================
+#
+# There are two parts to the firmware: a read-only image

+# For any new guest, its permanent, private variable store
+# should initially be copied from the template file
+# provided along with the firmware binary.
+#
+# Depending on the OS distribution you're using on the
+# host, the name of the package containing the firmware
+# binary and variable store template, as well as the paths
+# to the files themselves, will be different. For example:
+#

+# We use the virt machine type and enable KVM acceleration
+# for better performance.
+#
+# Using less than 1 GiB of memory is probably not going to
+# yield good performance in the guest, and might even lead
+# to obscure boot issues in some cases.
+#
+# Unfortunately, there is no way to configure the CPU model
+# in this file, so it will have to be provided on the
+# command line, but we can configure the guest to use the
+# same GIC version as the host.

+
+# Firmware configuration
+# =========================================================
+#
+# There are two parts to the firmware: a read-only image
+# containing the executable code, which is shared between
+# guests, and a read/write variable store that is owned
+# by one specific guest, exclusively, and is used to
+# record information such as the UEFI boot order.
+#
+# For any new guest, its permanent, private variable store
+# should initially be copied from the template file
+# provided along with the firmware binary.
+#
+# Depending on the OS distribution you're using on the
+# host, the name of the package containing the firmware
+# binary and variable store template, as well as the paths
+# to the files themselves, will be different. For example:
+#
+# Fedora
+#   edk2-aarch64                                      (pkg)

Ping?

The series is fully ACKed as of two weeks ago, and it would
be great if someone could pick it up.
