<h3 class="section">1.1 Features</h3>
<p>QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to
achieve good emulation speed.
</p>
<p>QEMU has two operating modes:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a name="index-operating-modes"></a>
</li><li> <a name="index-system-emulation"></a>
Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for
example a PC), including one or several processors and various
peripherals. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems
without rebooting the PC or to debug system code.
</li><li> <a name="index-user-mode-emulation"></a>
User mode emulation. In this mode, QEMU can launch
processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to
launch the Wine Windows API emulator (<a href="http://www.winehq.org">http://www.winehq.org</a>) or
to ease cross-compilation and cross-debugging.
</li></ul>
<p>QEMU can run without a host kernel driver and yet gives acceptable
performance.
</p>
<p>For system emulation, the following hardware targets are supported:
</p><ul>
<li> <a name="index-emulated-target-systems"></a>

<p>The QEMU PC System emulator simulates the
following peripherals:
</p>
<ul class="no-bullet">
<li>- i440FX host PCI bridge and PIIX3 PCI to ISA bridge
</li><li>- Cirrus CLGD 5446 PCI VGA card or dummy VGA card with Bochs VESA
extensions (hardware level, including all non standard modes).
</li><li>- PS/2 mouse and keyboard
</li><li>- 2 PCI IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
</li><li>- Floppy disk
</li><li>- PCI and ISA network adapters
</li><li>- Serial ports
</li><li>- Creative SoundBlaster 16 sound card
</li><li>- ENSONIQ AudioPCI ES1370 sound card
</li><li>- Intel 82801AA AC97 Audio compatible sound card
</li><li>- Intel HD Audio Controller and HDA codec
</li><li>- Adlib (OPL2) - Yamaha YM3812 compatible chip
</li><li>- Gravis Ultrasound GF1 sound card
</li><li>- CS4231A compatible sound card
</li><li>- PCI UHCI USB controller and a virtual USB hub.
</li></ul>
<p>SMP is supported with up to 255 CPUs.
</p>
<p>QEMU uses the PC BIOS from the Seabios project and the Plex86/Bochs LGPL
VGA BIOS.
</p>
<p>QEMU uses YM3812 emulation by Tatsuyuki Satoh.
</p>
<p>QEMU uses GUS emulation (GUSEMU32 <a href="http://www.deinmeister.de/gusemu/">http://www.deinmeister.de/gusemu/</a>)
by Tibor "TS" Schütz.
</p>
<p>Note that, by default, GUS shares IRQ(7) with parallel ports and so
QEMU must be told to not have parallel ports to have working GUS.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 dos.img -soundhw gus -parallel none
</pre></div>
<p>Alternatively:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 dos.img -device gus,irq=5
</pre></div>
<p>Or some other unclaimed IRQ.
</p>
<p>CS4231A is the chip used in Windows Sound System and GUSMAX products

<dd><a name="index-_002dsmp"></a>
<p>Simulate an SMP system with <var>n</var> CPUs. On the PC target, up to 255
CPUs are supported. On Sparc32 target, Linux limits the number of usable CPUs
to 4.
For the PC target, the number of <var>cores</var> per socket, the number
of <var>threads</var> per cores and the total number of <var>sockets</var> can be
specified. Missing values will be computed. If any on the three values is
given, the total number of CPUs <var>n</var> can be omitted. <var>maxcpus</var>
specifies the maximum number of hotpluggable CPUs.

<p>Simulate a multi node NUMA system. If ‘<samp>mem</samp>’, ‘<samp>memdev</samp>’
and ‘<samp>cpus</samp>’ are omitted, resources are split equally. Also, note
that the -<samp>numa</samp> option doesn’t allocate any of the specified
resources. That is, it just assigns existing resources to NUMA nodes. This
means that one still has to use the <samp>-m</samp>, <samp>-smp</samp> options
to allocate RAM and VCPUs respectively, and possibly <samp>-object</samp>
to specify the memory backend for the ‘<samp>memdev</samp>’ suboption.
</p>
<p>‘<samp>mem</samp>’ and ‘<samp>memdev</samp>’ are mutually exclusive. Furthermore, if one
node uses ‘<samp>memdev</samp>’, all of them have to use it.

<p>Add a file descriptor to an fd set. Valid options are:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><samp>fd=<var>fd</var></samp></dt>
<dd><p>This option defines the file descriptor of which a duplicate is added to fd set.
The file descriptor cannot be stdin, stdout, or stderr.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>set=<var>set</var></samp></dt>
<dd><p>This option defines the ID of the fd set to add the file descriptor to.

</dd>
<dt><samp>-set <var>group</var>.<var>id</var>.<var>arg</var>=<var>value</var></samp></dt>

<dt><samp>-global driver=<var>driver</var>,property=<var>property</var>,value=<var>value</var></samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dglobal"></a>
<p>Set default value of <var>driver</var>’s property <var>prop</var> to <var>value</var>, e.g.:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 -global ide-drive.physical_block_size=4096 -drive file=file,if=ide,index=0,media=disk
</pre></div>
<p>In particular, you can use this to set driver properties for devices which are
created automatically by the machine model. To create a device which is not
created automatically and set properties on it, use -<samp>device</samp>.
</p>
<p>-global <var>driver</var>.<var>prop</var>=<var>value</var> is shorthand for -global
driver=<var>driver</var>,property=<var>prop</var>,value=<var>value</var>. The
longhand syntax works even when <var>driver</var> contains a dot.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>-boot [order=<var>drives</var>][,once=<var>drives</var>][,menu=on|off][,splash=<var>sp_name</var>][,splash-time=<var>sp_time</var>][,reboot-timeout=<var>rb_timeout</var>][,strict=on|off]</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dboot"></a>
<p>Specify boot order <var>drives</var> as a string of drive letters. Valid
drive letters depend on the target architecture. The x86 PC uses: a, b
(floppy 1 and 2), c (first hard disk), d (first CD-ROM), n-p (Etherboot
from network adapter 1-4), hard disk boot is the default. To apply a
particular boot order only on the first startup, specify it via
<samp>once</samp>.
</p>
<p>Interactive boot menus/prompts can be enabled via <samp>menu=on</samp> as far
as firmware/BIOS supports them. The default is non-interactive boot.
</p>
<p>A splash picture could be passed to bios, enabling user to show it as logo,
when option splash=<var>sp_name</var> is given and menu=on, If firmware/BIOS
supports them. Currently Seabios for X86 system support it.
limitation: The splash file could be a jpeg file or a BMP file in 24 BPP
format(true color). The resolution should be supported by the SVGA mode, so
the recommended is 320x240, 640x480, 800x640.
</p>
<p>A timeout could be passed to bios, guest will pause for <var>rb_timeout</var> ms
when boot failed, then reboot. If <var>rb_timeout</var> is ’-1’, guest will not
reboot, qemu passes ’-1’ to bios by default. Currently Seabios for X86
system support it.
</p>
<p>Do strict boot via <samp>strict=on</samp> as far as firmware/BIOS
supports it. This only effects when boot priority is changed by
bootindex options. The default is non-strict boot.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"># try to boot from network first, then from hard disk
qemu-system-i386 -boot order=nc
# boot from CD-ROM first, switch back to default order after reboot
qemu-system-i386 -boot once=d
# boot with a splash picture for 5 seconds.
qemu-system-i386 -boot menu=on,splash=/root/boot.bmp,splash-time=5000
</pre></div>
<p>Note: The legacy format ’-boot <var>drives</var>’ is still supported but its
use is discouraged as it may be removed from future versions.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>-m [size=]<var>megs</var>[,slots=n,maxmem=size]</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dm"></a>
<p>Sets guest startup RAM size to <var>megs</var> megabytes. Default is 128 MiB.
Optionally, a suffix of “M” or “G” can be used to signify a value in
megabytes or gigabytes respectively. Optional pair <var>slots</var>, <var>maxmem</var>
could be used to set amount of hotpluggable memory slots and maximum amount of
memory. Note that <var>maxmem</var> must be aligned to the page size.
</p>
<p>For example, the following command-line sets the guest startup RAM size to
1GB, creates 3 slots to hotplug additional memory and sets the maximum
memory the guest can reach to 4GB:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1G,slots=3,maxmem=4G
</pre></div>
<p>If <var>slots</var> and <var>maxmem</var> are not specified, memory hotplug won’t
be enabled and the guest startup RAM will never increase.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>-mem-path <var>path</var></samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dmem_002dpath"></a>
<p>Allocate guest RAM from a temporarily created file in <var>path</var>.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>-mem-prealloc</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dmem_002dprealloc"></a>
<p>Preallocate memory when using -mem-path.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>-k <var>language</var></samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dk"></a>
<p>Use keyboard layout <var>language</var> (for example <code>fr</code> for
French). This option is only needed where it is not easy to get raw PC
keycodes (e.g. on Macs, with some X11 servers or with a VNC
display). You don’t normally need to use it on PC/Linux or PC/Windows
hosts.
</p>

</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>By default, the <samp>cache=writeback</samp> mode is used. It will report data
writes as completed as soon as the data is present in the host page cache.
This is safe as long as your guest OS makes sure to correctly flush disk caches
where needed. If your guest OS does not handle volatile disk write caches
correctly and your host crashes or loses power, then the guest may experience
data corruption.
</p>
<p>For such guests, you should consider using <samp>cache=writethrough</samp>. This
means that the host page cache will be used to read and write data, but write
notification will be sent to the guest only after QEMU has made sure to flush
each write to the disk. Be aware that this has a major impact on performance.
</p>
<p>The host page cache can be avoided entirely with <samp>cache=none</samp>. This will
attempt to do disk IO directly to the guest’s memory. QEMU may still perform
an internal copy of the data. Note that this is considered a writeback mode and
the guest OS must handle the disk write cache correctly in order to avoid data
corruption on host crashes.
</p>
<p>The host page cache can be avoided while only sending write notifications to
the guest when the data has been flushed to the disk using
<samp>cache=directsync</samp>.
</p>
<p>In case you don’t care about data integrity over host failures, use
<samp>cache=unsafe</samp>. This option tells QEMU that it never needs to write any
data to the disk but can instead keep things in cache. If anything goes wrong,
like your host losing power, the disk storage getting disconnected accidentally,
etc. your image will most probably be rendered unusable. When using
the <samp>-snapshot</samp> option, unsafe caching is always used.
</p>
<p>Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing file sectors repeatedly and is
useful when the backing file is over a slow network. By default copy-on-read
is off.

<p>Provides the ID of a set of TLS credentials to use to secure the

<dd>
<p>Valid if <samp>tls</samp> is specified. Require that x509 credentials are used
for negotiating the TLS session. The server will send its x509 certificate
to the client, and request that the client send its own x509 certificate.
The server will validate the client’s certificate against the CA certificate,
and reject clients when validation fails. If the certificate authority is
trusted, this is a sufficient authentication mechanism. You may still wish
to set a password on the VNC server as a second authentication layer. The
path following this option specifies where the x509 certificates are to
be loaded from. See the <a href="#vnc_005fsecurity">vnc_security</a> section for details on generating

<p>This option is now deprecated in favour of using the <samp>tls-creds</samp>

</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>sasl</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Require that the client use SASL to authenticate with the VNC server.
The exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the
system / user’s SASL configuration file for the ’qemu’ service. This
is typically found in /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an
unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used
to make it search alternate locations for the service config.
While some SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI),
it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the ’tls’ and
’x509’ settings to enable use of SSL and server certificates. This
ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of authentication
credentials. See the <a href="#vnc_005fsecurity">vnc_security</a> section for details on using
SASL authentication.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>acl</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Turn on access control lists for checking of the x509 client certificate
and SASL party. For x509 certs, the ACL check is made against the
certificate’s distinguished name. This is something that looks like
<code>C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob</code>. For SASL party, the ACL check is
made against the username, which depending on the SASL plugin, may
include a realm component, eg <code>bob</code> or <code>bob@EXAMPLE.COM</code>.
When the <samp>acl</samp> flag is set, the initial access list will be
empty, with a <code>deny</code> policy. Thus no one will be allowed to
use the VNC server until the ACLs have been loaded. This can be
achieved using the <code>acl</code> monitor command.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>lossy</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Enable lossy compression methods (gradient, JPEG, ...). If this
option is set, VNC client may receive lossy framebuffer updates
depending on its encoding settings. Enabling this option can save
a lot of bandwidth at the expense of quality.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>non-adaptive</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Disable adaptive encodings. Adaptive encodings are enabled by default.
An adaptive encoding will try to detect frequently updated screen regions,
and send updates in these regions using a lossy encoding (like JPEG).
This can be really helpful to save bandwidth when playing videos. Disabling
adaptive encodings restores the original static behavior of encodings
like Tight.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>share=[allow-exclusive|force-shared|ignore]</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Set display sharing policy. ’allow-exclusive’ allows clients to ask
for exclusive access. As suggested by the rfb spec this is
implemented by dropping other connections. Connecting multiple
clients in parallel requires all clients asking for a shared session
(vncviewer: -shared switch). This is the default. ’force-shared’
disables exclusive client access. Useful for shared desktop sessions,
where you don’t want someone forgetting specify -shared disconnect
everybody else. ’ignore’ completely ignores the shared flag and
allows everybody connect unconditionally. Doesn’t conform to the rfb
spec but is traditional QEMU behavior.

“iscsi://<target-ip>[:<port>]/<target-iqn>/<lun>”
</p>
<p>By default qemu will use the iSCSI initiator-name
’iqn.2008-11.org.linux-kvm[:<name>]’ but this can also be set from the command
line or a configuration file.
</p>
<p>Since version Qemu 2.4 it is possible to specify a iSCSI request timeout to detect
stalled requests and force a reestablishment of the session. The timeout
is specified in seconds. The default is 0 which means no timeout. Libiscsi
1.15.0 or greater is required for this feature.
</p>
<p>Example (without authentication):
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 -iscsi initiator-name=iqn.2001-04.com.example:my-initiator \

<p>iSCSI support is an optional feature of QEMU and only available when
compiled and linked against libiscsi.

<p>Backend type must be:
<samp>passthrough</samp>.
</p>
<p>The specific backend type will determine the applicable options.
The <code>-tpmdev</code> option creates the TPM backend and requires a
<code>-device</code> option that specifies the TPM frontend interface model.
</p>
<p>Options to each backend are described below.
</p>
<p>Use ’help’ to print all available TPM backend types.
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu -tpmdev help
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><samp>-tpmdev passthrough, id=<var>id</var>, path=<var>path</var>, cancel-path=<var>cancel-path</var></samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>(Linux-host only) Enable access to the host’s TPM using the passthrough
driver.
</p>
<p><samp>path</samp> specifies the path to the host’s TPM device, i.e., on
a Linux host this would be <code>/dev/tpm0</code>.
<samp>path</samp> is optional and by default <code>/dev/tpm0</code> is used.
</p>
<p><samp>cancel-path</samp> specifies the path to the host TPM device’s sysfs
entry allowing for cancellation of an ongoing TPM command.
<samp>cancel-path</samp> is optional and by default QEMU will search for the
sysfs entry to use.
</p>
<p>Some notes about using the host’s TPM with the passthrough driver:
</p>
<p>The TPM device accessed by the passthrough driver must not be
used by any other application on the host.
</p>
<p>Since the host’s firmware (BIOS/UEFI) has already initialized the TPM,
the VM’s firmware (BIOS/UEFI) will not be able to initialize the
TPM again and may therefore not show a TPM-specific menu that would
otherwise allow the user to configure the TPM, e.g., allow the user to
enable/disable or activate/deactivate the TPM.
Further, if TPM ownership is released from within a VM then the host’s TPM
will get disabled and deactivated. To enable and activate the
TPM again afterwards, the host has to be rebooted and the user is
required to enter the firmware’s menu to enable and activate the TPM.
If the TPM is left disabled and/or deactivated most TPM commands will fail.
</p>
<p>To create a passthrough TPM use the following two options:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">-tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0 -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0
</pre></div>
<p>Note that the <code>-tpmdev</code> id is <code>tpm0</code> and is referenced by
<code>tpmdev=tpm0</code> in the device option.

<p>If you plan to send characters back via netconsole or you want to stop

source port each time by using something like <code>-serial
udp::4555@:4556</code> to QEMU. Another approach is to use a patched
version of netcat which can listen to a TCP port and send and receive
characters via udp. If you have a patched version of netcat which
activates telnet remote echo and single char transfer, then you can
use the following options to step up a netcat redirector to allow

</dd>
<dt><samp>-rtc [base=utc|localtime|<var>date</var>][,clock=host|vm][,driftfix=none|slew]</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002drtc"></a>
<p>Specify <samp>base</samp> as <code>utc</code> or <code>localtime</code> to let the RTC start at the current
UTC or local time, respectively. <code>localtime</code> is required for correct date in
MS-DOS or Windows. To start at a specific point in time, provide <var>date</var> in the
format <code>2006-06-17T16:01:21</code> or <code>2006-06-17</code>. The default base is UTC.
</p>
<p>By default the RTC is driven by the host system time. This allows using of the
RTC as accurate reference clock inside the guest, specifically if the host
time is smoothly following an accurate external reference clock, e.g. via NTP.
If you want to isolate the guest time from the host, you can set <samp>clock</samp>
to <code>rt</code> instead. To even prevent it from progressing during suspension,
you can set it to <code>vm</code>.
</p>
<p>Enable <samp>driftfix</samp> (i386 targets only) if you experience time drift problems,
specifically with Windows’ ACPI HAL. This option will try to figure out how
many timer interrupts were not processed by the Windows guest and will
re-inject them.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>-icount [shift=<var>N</var>|auto][,rr=record|replay,rrfile=<var>filename</var>]</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dicount"></a>
<p>Enable virtual instruction counter. The virtual cpu will execute one
instruction every 2^<var>N</var> ns of virtual time. If <code>auto</code> is specified
then the virtual cpu speed will be automatically adjusted to keep virtual
time within a few seconds of real time.
</p>
<p>When the virtual cpu is sleeping, the virtual time will advance at default
speed unless <samp>sleep=no</samp> is specified.
With <samp>sleep=no</samp>, the virtual time will jump to the next timer deadline
instantly whenever the virtual cpu goes to sleep mode and will not advance
if no timer is enabled. This behavior give deterministic execution times from
the guest point of view.
</p>
<p>Note that while this option can give deterministic behavior, it does not
provide cycle accurate emulation. Modern CPUs contain superscalar out of
order cores with complex cache hierarchies. The number of instructions
executed often has little or no correlation with actual performance.
</p>
<p><samp>align=on</samp> will activate the delay algorithm which will try
to synchronise the host clock and the virtual clock. The goal is to
have a guest running at the real frequency imposed by the shift option.
Whenever the guest clock is behind the host clock and if
<samp>align=on</samp> is specified then we print a message to the user
to inform about the delay.
Currently this option does not work when <samp>shift</samp> is <code>auto</code>.
Note: The sync algorithm will work for those shift values for which
the guest clock runs ahead of the host clock. Typically this happens
when the shift value is high (how high depends on the host machine).
</p>
<p>When <samp>rr</samp> option is specified deterministic record/replay is enabled.
Replay log is written into <var>filename</var> file in record mode and
read from this file in replay mode.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>-watchdog <var>model</var></samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dwatchdog"></a>
<p>Create a virtual hardware watchdog device. Once enabled (by a guest
action), the watchdog must be periodically polled by an agent inside
the guest or else the guest will be restarted. Choose a model for
which your guest has drivers.
</p>
<p>The <var>model</var> is the model of hardware watchdog to emulate. Use
<code>-watchdog help</code> to list available hardware models. Only one
watchdog can be enabled for a guest.
</p>
<p>The following models may be available:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><samp>ib700</samp></dt>
<dd><p>iBASE 700 is a very simple ISA watchdog with a single timer.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>i6300esb</samp></dt>
<dd><p>Intel 6300ESB I/O controller hub is a much more featureful PCI-based
dual-timer watchdog.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>diag288</samp></dt>
<dd><p>A virtual watchdog for s390x backed by the diagnose 288 hypercall

</p></dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><samp>-watchdog-action <var>action</var></samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002dwatchdog_002daction"></a>
<p>The <var>action</var> controls what QEMU will do when the watchdog timer
expires.
The default is
<code>reset</code> (forcefully reset the guest).
Other possible actions are:
<code>shutdown</code> (attempt to gracefully shutdown the guest),
<code>poweroff</code> (forcefully poweroff the guest),
<code>pause</code> (pause the guest),
<code>debug</code> (print a debug message and continue), or
<code>none</code> (do nothing).
</p>
<p>Note that the <code>shutdown</code> action requires that the guest responds
to ACPI signals, which it may not be able to do in the sort of
situations where the watchdog would have expired, and thus
<code>-watchdog-action shutdown</code> is not recommended for production use.
</p>
<p>Examples:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>-watchdog i6300esb -watchdog-action pause</code></dt>

control keys where 1 through 26 map to Control-a through Control-z. For
instance you could use the either of the following to change the escape
character to Control-t.

<h3 class="section">3.5 QEMU Monitor</h3>
<a name="index-QEMU-monitor"></a>
<p>The QEMU monitor is used to give complex commands to the QEMU
emulator. You can use it to:
</p>
<ul class="no-bullet">
<li>- Remove or insert removable media images
(such as CD-ROM or floppies).
</li><li>- Freeze/unfreeze the Virtual Machine (VM) and save or restore its state
from a disk file.
</li><li>- Inspect the VM state without an external debugger.
</li></ul>
<a name="Commands"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.5.1 Commands</h4>
<p>The following commands are available:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><samp>help or ? [<var>cmd</var>]</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-help"></a>
<p>Show the help for all commands or just for command <var>cmd</var>.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>commit</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-commit"></a>
<p>Commit changes to the disk images (if -snapshot is used) or backing files.
If the backing file is smaller than the snapshot, then the backing file will be
resized to be the same size as the snapshot. If the snapshot is smaller than
the backing file, the backing file will not be truncated. If you want the
backing file to match the size of the smaller snapshot, you can safely truncate
it yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>q or quit</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-quit"></a>
<p>Quit the emulator.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>block_resize</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-block_005fresize"></a>
<p>Resize a block image while a guest is running. Usually requires guest
action to see the updated size. Resize to a lower size is supported,
but should be used with extreme caution. Note that this command only
resizes image files, it can not resize block devices like LVM volumes.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>block_stream</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-block_005fstream"></a>
<p>Copy data from a backing file into a block device.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>block_job_set_speed</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-block_005fjob_005fset_005fspeed"></a>
<p>Set maximum speed for a background block operation.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>block_job_cancel</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-block_005fjob_005fcancel"></a>
<p>Stop an active background block operation (streaming, mirroring).
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>block_job_complete</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-block_005fjob_005fcomplete"></a>
<p>Manually trigger completion of an active background block operation.
For mirroring, this will switch the device to the destination path.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>block_job_pause</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-block_005fjob_005fpause"></a>
<p>Pause an active block streaming operation.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>block_job_resume</samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-block_005fjob_005fresume"></a>
<p>Resume a paused block streaming operation.
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>eject [-f] <var>device</var></samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-eject"></a>
<p>Eject a removable medium (use -f to force it).
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>drive_del <var>device</var></samp></dt>
<dd><a name="index-drive_005fdel"></a>
<p>Remove host block device. The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
submitted against the host device underlying the disk. Once a drive has
been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO
errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.
These errors are always reported to the guest, regardless of the drive’s error
actions (drive options rerror, werror).

<h3 class="section">3.6 Disk Images</h3>
<p>Since version 0.6.1, QEMU supports many disk image formats, including
growable disk images (their size increase as non empty sectors are
written), compressed and encrypted disk images. Version 0.8.3 added
the new qcow2 disk image format which is essential to support VM
snapshots.
</p>
<hr>
<a name="disk_005fimages_005fquickstart"></a>
<a name="Quick-start-for-disk-image-creation"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.6.1 Quick start for disk image creation</h4>
<p>You can create a disk image with the command:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-img create myimage.img mysize
</pre></div>
<p>where <var>myimage.img</var> is the disk image filename and <var>mysize</var> is its
size in kilobytes. You can add an <code>M</code> suffix to give the size in
megabytes and a <code>G</code> suffix for gigabytes.

<a name="Snapshot-mode"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.6.2 Snapshot mode</h4>
<p>If you use the option <samp>-snapshot</samp>, all disk images are
considered as read only. When sectors in written, they are written in
a temporary file created in <samp>/tmp</samp>. You can however force the
write back to the raw disk images by using the <code>commit</code> monitor
command (or <tt class="key">C-a s</tt> in the serial console).
</p>
<hr>
<a name="vm_005fsnapshots"></a>
<a name="VM-snapshots"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.6.3 VM snapshots</h4>
<p>VM snapshots are snapshots of the complete virtual machine including
CPU state, RAM, device state and the content of all the writable
disks. In order to use VM snapshots, you must have at least one non
removable and writable block device using the <code>qcow2</code> disk image
format. Normally this device is the first virtual hard drive.
</p>
<p>Use the monitor command <code>savevm</code> to create a new VM snapshot or
replace an existing one. A human readable name can be assigned to each
snapshot in addition to its numerical ID.
</p>
<p>Use <code>loadvm</code> to restore a VM snapshot and <code>delvm</code> to remove
a VM snapshot. <code>info snapshots</code> lists the available snapshots
with their associated information:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">(qemu) info snapshots
Snapshot devices: hda
Snapshot list (from hda):
ID TAG VM SIZE DATE VM CLOCK
1 start 41M 2006-08-06 12:38:02 00:00:14.954
2 40M 2006-08-06 12:43:29 00:00:18.633
3 msys 40M 2006-08-06 12:44:04 00:00:23.514
</pre></div>
<p>A VM snapshot is made of a VM state info (its size is shown in
<code>info snapshots</code>) and a snapshot of every writable disk image.
The VM state info is stored in the first <code>qcow2</code> non removable
and writable block device. The disk image snapshots are stored in
every disk image. The size of a snapshot in a disk image is difficult
to evaluate and is not shown by <code>info snapshots</code> because the
associated disk sectors are shared among all the snapshots to save
disk space (otherwise each snapshot would need a full copy of all the
disk images).
</p>
<p>When using the (unrelated) <code>-snapshot</code> option
(<a href="#disk_005fimages_005fsnapshot_005fmode">disk_images_snapshot_mode</a>), you can always make VM snapshots,
but they are deleted as soon as you exit QEMU.
</p>
<p>VM snapshots currently have the following known limitations:
</p><ul>
<li> They cannot cope with removable devices if they are removed or
inserted after a snapshot is done.
</li><li> A few device drivers still have incomplete snapshot support so their
state is not saved or restored properly (in particular USB).
</li></ul>

<dd>
<p>Perform a consistency check on the disk image <var>filename</var>. The command can
output in the format <var>ofmt</var> which is either <code>human</code> or <code>json</code>.
</p>
<p>If <code>-r</code> is specified, qemu-img tries to repair any inconsistencies found
during the check. <code>-r leaks</code> repairs only cluster leaks, whereas
<code>-r all</code> fixes all kinds of errors, with a higher risk of choosing the
wrong fix or hiding corruption that has already occurred.
</p>
<p>Only the formats <code>qcow2</code>, <code>qed</code> and <code>vdi</code> support
consistency checks.
</p>
<p>In case the image does not have any inconsistencies, check exits with <code>0</code>.
Other exit codes indicate the kind of inconsistency found or if another error
occurred. The following table summarizes all exit codes of the check subcommand:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><samp>0</samp></dt>
<dd><p>Check completed, the image is (now) consistent
</p></dd>
<dt><samp>1</samp></dt>

</p></dd>
<dt><samp>63</samp></dt>
<dd><p>Checks are not supported by the image format
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>If <code>-r</code> is specified, exit codes representing the image state refer to the
state after (the attempt at) repairing it. That is, a successful <code>-r all</code>
will yield the exit code 0, independently of the image state before.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>create [-f <var>fmt</var>] [-o <var>options</var>] <var>filename</var> [<var>size</var>]</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Create the new disk image <var>filename</var> of size <var>size</var> and format
<var>fmt</var>. Depending on the file format, you can add one or more <var>options</var>
that enable additional features of this format.
</p>
<p>If the option <var>backing_file</var> is specified, then the image will record
only the differences from <var>backing_file</var>. No size needs to be specified in
this case. <var>backing_file</var> will never be modified unless you use the
<code>commit</code> monitor command (or qemu-img commit).
</p>
<p>The size can also be specified using the <var>size</var> option with <code>-o</code>,
it doesn’t need to be specified separately in this case.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>commit [-q] [-f <var>fmt</var>] [-t <var>cache</var>] [-b <var>base</var>] [-d] [-p] <var>filename</var></samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Commit the changes recorded in <var>filename</var> in its base image or backing file.
If the backing file is smaller than the snapshot, then the backing file will be
resized to be the same size as the snapshot. If the snapshot is smaller than
the backing file, the backing file will not be truncated. If you want the
backing file to match the size of the smaller snapshot, you can safely truncate
it yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
</p>
<p>The image <var>filename</var> is emptied after the operation has succeeded. If you do
not need <var>filename</var> afterwards and intend to drop it, you may skip emptying
<var>filename</var> by specifying the <code>-d</code> flag.
</p>
<p>If the backing chain of the given image file <var>filename</var> has more than one
layer, the backing file into which the changes will be committed may be
specified as <var>base</var> (which has to be part of <var>filename</var>’s backing
chain). If <var>base</var> is not specified, the immediate backing file of the top
image (which is <var>filename</var>) will be used. For reasons of consistency,
explicitly specifying <var>base</var> will always imply <code>-d</code> (since emptying an
image after committing to an indirect backing file would lead to different data
being read from the image due to content in the intermediate backing chain
overruling the commit target).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>compare [-f <var>fmt</var>] [-F <var>fmt</var>] [-T <var>src_cache</var>] [-p] [-s] [-q] <var>filename1</var> <var>filename2</var></samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Check if two images have the same content. You can compare images with
different format or settings.
</p>
<p>The format is probed unless you specify it by <var>-f</var> (used for
<var>filename1</var>) and/or <var>-F</var> (used for <var>filename2</var>) option.
</p>
<p>By default, images with different size are considered identical if the larger
image contains only unallocated and/or zeroed sectors in the area after the end
of the other image. In addition, if any sector is not allocated in one image
and contains only zero bytes in the second one, it is evaluated as equal. You
can use Strict mode by specifying the <var>-s</var> option. When compare runs in
Strict mode, it fails in case image size differs or a sector is allocated in
one image and is not allocated in the second one.
</p>
<p>By default, compare prints out a result message. This message displays
information that both images are same or the position of the first different
byte. In addition, result message can report different image size in case
Strict mode is used.
</p>
<p>Compare exits with <code>0</code> in case the images are equal and with <code>1</code>
in case the images differ. Other exit codes mean an error occurred during
execution and standard error output should contain an error message.
The following table sumarizes all exit codes of the compare subcommand:

<dd>
<p>Convert the disk image <var>filename</var> or a snapshot <var>snapshot_param</var>(<var>snapshot_id_or_name</var> is deprecated)
to disk image <var>output_filename</var> using format <var>output_fmt</var>. It can be optionally compressed (<code>-c</code>
option) or use any format specific options like encryption (<code>-o</code> option).
</p>
<p>Only the formats <code>qcow</code> and <code>qcow2</code> support compression. The
compression is read-only. It means that if a compressed sector is
rewritten, then it is rewritten as uncompressed data.
</p>
<p>Image conversion is also useful to get smaller image when using a
growable format such as <code>qcow</code>: the empty sectors are detected and
suppressed from the destination image.
</p>
<p><var>sparse_size</var> indicates the consecutive number of bytes (defaults to 4k)
that must contain only zeros for qemu-img to create a sparse image during
conversion. If <var>sparse_size</var> is 0, the source will not be scanned for
unallocated or zero sectors, and the destination image will always be
fully allocated.
</p>
<p>You can use the <var>backing_file</var> option to force the output image to be
created as a copy on write image of the specified base image; the
<var>backing_file</var> should have the same content as the input’s base image,
however the path, image format, etc may differ.
</p>
<p>If the <code>-n</code> option is specified, the target volume creation will be
skipped. This is useful for formats such as <code>rbd</code> if the target
volume has already been created with site specific options that cannot
be supplied through qemu-img.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>info [-f <var>fmt</var>] [--output=<var>ofmt</var>] [--backing-chain] <var>filename</var></samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Give information about the disk image <var>filename</var>. Use it in
particular to know the size reserved on disk which can be different
from the displayed size. If VM snapshots are stored in the disk image,
they are displayed too. The command can output in the format <var>ofmt</var>
which is either <code>human</code> or <code>json</code>.
</p>
<p>If a disk image has a backing file chain, information about each disk image in
the chain can be recursively enumerated by using the option <code>--backing-chain</code>.
</p>
<p>For instance, if you have an image chain like:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">base.qcow2 <- snap1.qcow2 <- snap2.qcow2
</pre></div>
<p>To enumerate information about each disk image in the above chain, starting from top to base, do:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-img info --backing-chain snap2.qcow2
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><samp>map [-f <var>fmt</var>] [--output=<var>ofmt</var>] <var>filename</var></samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Dump the metadata of image <var>filename</var> and its backing file chain.
In particular, this commands dumps the allocation state of every sector
of <var>filename</var>, together with the topmost file that allocates it in
the backing file chain.
</p>
<p>Two option formats are possible. The default format (<code>human</code>)
only dumps known-nonzero areas of the file. Known-zero parts of the
file are omitted altogether, and likewise for parts that are not allocated
throughout the chain. <code>qemu-img</code> output will identify a file
from where the data can be read, and the offset in the file. Each line
will include four fields, the first three of which are hexadecimal
numbers. For example the first line of:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">Offset Length Mapped to File
0 0x20000 0x50000 /tmp/overlay.qcow2
0x100000 0x10000 0x95380000 /tmp/backing.qcow2
</pre></div>
<p>means that 0x20000 (131072) bytes starting at offset 0 in the image are
available in /tmp/overlay.qcow2 (opened in <code>raw</code> format) starting
at offset 0x50000 (327680). Data that is compressed, encrypted, or
otherwise not available in raw format will cause an error if <code>human</code>
format is in use. Note that file names can include newlines, thus it is
not safe to parse this output format in scripts.
</p>
<p>The alternative format <code>json</code> will return an array of dictionaries
in JSON format. It will include similar information in
the <code>start</code>, <code>length</code>, <code>offset</code> fields;
it will also include other more specific information:
</p><ul class="no-bullet">
<li>- whether the sectors contain actual data or not (boolean field <code>data</code>;
if false, the sectors are either unallocated or stored as optimized
all-zero clusters);
</li><li>- whether the data is known to read as zero (boolean field <code>zero</code>);
</li><li>- in order to make the output shorter, the target file is expressed as
a <code>depth</code>; for example, a depth of 2 refers to the backing file
of the backing file of <var>filename</var>.
</li></ul>
<p>In JSON format, the <code>offset</code> field is optional; it is absent in
cases where <code>human</code> format would omit the entry or exit with an error.
If <code>data</code> is false and the <code>offset</code> field is present, the
corresponding sectors in the file are not yet in use, but they are
preallocated.

<dd>
<p>Changes the backing file of an image. Only the formats <code>qcow2</code> and
<code>qed</code> support changing the backing file.
</p>
<p>The backing file is changed to <var>backing_file</var> and (if the image format of
<var>filename</var> supports this) the backing file format is changed to
<var>backing_fmt</var>. If <var>backing_file</var> is specified as “” (the empty
string), then the image is rebased onto no backing file (i.e. it will exist
independently of any backing file).
</p>
<p><var>cache</var> specifies the cache mode to be used for <var>filename</var>, whereas
<var>src_cache</var> specifies the cache mode for reading backing files.
</p>
<p>There are two different modes in which <code>rebase</code> can operate:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><samp>Safe mode</samp></dt>
<dd><p>This is the default mode and performs a real rebase operation. The new backing
file may differ from the old one and qemu-img rebase will take care of keeping
the guest-visible content of <var>filename</var> unchanged.
</p>
<p>In order to achieve this, any clusters that differ between <var>backing_file</var>
and the old backing file of <var>filename</var> are merged into <var>filename</var>
before actually changing the backing file.
</p>
<p>Note that the safe mode is an expensive operation, comparable to converting
an image. It only works if the old backing file still exists.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>Unsafe mode</samp></dt>
<dd><p>qemu-img uses the unsafe mode if <code>-u</code> is specified. In this mode, only the
backing file name and format of <var>filename</var> is changed without any checks
on the file contents. The user must take care of specifying the correct new
backing file, or the guest-visible content of the image will be corrupted.
</p>
<p>This mode is useful for renaming or moving the backing file to somewhere else.
It can be used without an accessible old backing file, i.e. you can use it to
fix an image whose backing file has already been moved/renamed.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>You can use <code>rebase</code> to perform a “diff” operation on two
disk images. This can be useful when you have copied or cloned
a guest, and you want to get back to a thin image on top of a
template or base image.
</p>
<p>Say that <code>base.img</code> has been cloned as <code>modified.img</code> by
copying it, and that the <code>modified.img</code> guest has run so there
are now some changes compared to <code>base.img</code>. To construct a thin
image called <code>diff.qcow2</code> that contains just the differences, do:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b modified.img diff.qcow2
qemu-img rebase -b base.img diff.qcow2
</pre></div>
<p>At this point, <code>modified.img</code> can be discarded, since
<code>base.img + diff.qcow2</code> contains the same information.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><samp>resize <var>filename</var> [+ | -]<var>size</var></samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Change the disk image as if it had been created with <var>size</var>.
</p>
<p>Before using this command to shrink a disk image, you MUST use file system and
partitioning tools inside the VM to reduce allocated file systems and partition
sizes accordingly. Failure to do so will result in data loss!
</p>
<p>After using this command to grow a disk image, you must use file system and
partitioning tools inside the VM to actually begin using the new space on the
device.

<p>The QEMU Guest Agent is a daemon intended to be run within virtual
machines. It allows the hypervisor host to perform various operations
in the guest, such as:
</p>
<ul>
<li> get information from the guest
</li><li> set the guest’s system time
</li><li> read/write a file
</li><li> sync and freeze the filesystems
</li><li> suspend the guest
</li><li> reconfigure guest local processors
</li><li> set user’s password
</li><li> ...
</li></ul>
<p>qemu-ga will read a system configuration file on startup (located at
q<samp>/etc/qemu/qemu-ga.conf</samp> by default), then parse remaining
configuration options on the command line. For the same key, the last
option wins, but the lists accumulate (see below for configuration

<h4 class="subsection">3.6.7 Disk image file formats</h4>
<p>QEMU supports many image file formats that can be used with VMs as well as with
any of the tools (like <code>qemu-img</code>). This includes the preferred formats
raw and qcow2 as well as formats that are supported for compatibility with
older QEMU versions or other hypervisors.
</p>
<p>Depending on the image format, different options can be passed to
<code>qemu-img create</code> and <code>qemu-img convert</code> using the <code>-o</code> option.
This section describes each format and the options that are supported for it.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><samp>raw</samp></dt>
<dd>
<p>Raw disk image format. This format has the advantage of
being simple and easily exportable to all other emulators. If your
file system supports <em>holes</em> (for example in ext2 or ext3 on
Linux or NTFS on Windows), then only the written sectors will reserve
space. Use <code>qemu-img info</code> to know the real size used by the
image or <code>ls -ls</code> on Unix/Linux.
</p>
<p>Supported options:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>preallocation</code></dt>
<dd><p>Preallocation mode (allowed values: <code>off</code>, <code>falloc</code>, <code>full</code>).
<code>falloc</code> mode preallocates space for image by calling posix_fallocate().
<code>full</code> mode preallocates space for image by writing zeros to underlying
storage.
</p></dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt><samp>qcow2</samp></dt>
<dd><p>QEMU image format, the most versatile format. Use it to have smaller
images (useful if your filesystem does not supports holes, for example
on Windows), zlib based compression and support of multiple VM
snapshots.
</p>
<p>Supported options:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>compat</code></dt>
<dd><p>Determines the qcow2 version to use. <code>compat=0.10</code> uses the
traditional image format that can be read by any QEMU since 0.10.
<code>compat=1.1</code> enables image format extensions that only QEMU 1.1 and
newer understand (this is the default). Amongst others, this includes
zero clusters, which allow efficient copy-on-read for sparse images.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>backing_file</code></dt>
<dd><p>File name of a base image (see <samp>create</samp> subcommand)
</p></dd>
<dt><code>backing_fmt</code></dt>
<dd><p>Image format of the base image
</p></dd>
<dt><code>encryption</code></dt>
<dd><p>If this option is set to <code>on</code>, the image is encrypted with 128-bit AES-CBC.
</p>
<p>The use of encryption in qcow and qcow2 images is considered to be flawed by
modern cryptography standards, suffering from a number of design problems:
</p>
<ul class="no-bullet">
<li>- The AES-CBC cipher is used with predictable initialization vectors based
on the sector number. This makes it vulnerable to chosen plaintext attacks
which can reveal the existence of encrypted data.
</li><li>- The user passphrase is directly used as the encryption key. A poorly
chosen or short passphrase will compromise the security of the encryption.
</li><li>- In the event of the passphrase being compromised there is no way to
change the passphrase to protect data in any qcow images. The files must
be cloned, using a different encryption passphrase in the new file. The
original file must then be securely erased using a program like shred,
though even this is ineffective with many modern storage technologies.
</li></ul>
<p>Use of qcow / qcow2 encryption with QEMU is deprecated, and support for
it will go away in a future release. Users are recommended to use an
alternative encryption technology such as the Linux dm-crypt / LUKS
system.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>cluster_size</code></dt>
<dd><p>Changes the qcow2 cluster size (must be between 512 and 2M). Smaller cluster
sizes can improve the image file size whereas larger cluster sizes generally
provide better performance.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>preallocation</code></dt>
<dd><p>Preallocation mode (allowed values: <code>off</code>, <code>metadata</code>, <code>falloc</code>,
<code>full</code>). An image with preallocated metadata is initially larger but can
improve performance when the image needs to grow. <code>falloc</code> and <code>full</code>
preallocations are like the same options of <code>raw</code> format, but sets up
metadata also.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>lazy_refcounts</code></dt>
<dd><p>If this option is set to <code>on</code>, reference count updates are postponed with
the goal of avoiding metadata I/O and improving performance. This is
particularly interesting with <samp>cache=writethrough</samp> which doesn’t batch
metadata updates. The tradeoff is that after a host crash, the reference count
tables must be rebuilt, i.e. on the next open an (automatic) <code>qemu-img
check -r all</code> is required, which may take some time.
</p>
<p>This option can only be enabled if <code>compat=1.1</code> is specified.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>nocow</code></dt>
<dd><p>If this option is set to <code>on</code>, it will turn off COW of the file. It’s only
valid on btrfs, no effect on other file systems.
</p>
<p>Btrfs has low performance when hosting a VM image file, even more when the guest
on the VM also using btrfs as file system. Turning off COW is a way to mitigate
this bad performance. Generally there are two ways to turn off COW on btrfs:
a) Disable it by mounting with nodatacow, then all newly created files will be
NOCOW. b) For an empty file, add the NOCOW file attribute. That’s what this option
does.
</p>
<p>Note: this option is only valid to new or empty files. If there is an existing
file which is COW and has data blocks already, it couldn’t be changed to NOCOW
by setting <code>nocow=on</code>. One can issue <code>lsattr filename</code> to check if
the NOCOW flag is set or not (Capital ’C’ is NOCOW flag).

</pre></div>
<p>If the NBD server is located on the same host, you can use an unix socket instead
of an inet socket:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 linux.img -hdb nbd+unix://?socket=/tmp/my_socket
</pre></div>
<p>In this case, the block device must be exported using qemu-nbd:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-nbd --socket=/tmp/my_socket my_disk.qcow2
</pre></div>
<p>The use of qemu-nbd allows sharing of a disk between several guests:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-nbd --socket=/tmp/my_socket --share=2 my_disk.qcow2
</pre></div>
<p>and then you can use it with two guests:

<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 linux1.img -hdb nbd+unix://?socket=/tmp/my_socket
qemu-system-i386 linux2.img -hdb nbd+unix://?socket=/tmp/my_socket
</pre></div>
<p>If the nbd-server uses named exports (supported since NBD 2.9.18, or with QEMU’s
own embedded NBD server), you must specify an export name in the URI:

<h4 class="subsection">3.6.11 Sheepdog disk images</h4>
<p>Sheepdog is a distributed storage system for QEMU. It provides highly
available block level storage volumes that can be attached to
QEMU-based virtual machines.
</p>
<p>You can create a Sheepdog disk image with the command:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-img create sheepdog:///<var>image</var> <var>size</var>
</pre></div>
<p>where <var>image</var> is the Sheepdog image name and <var>size</var> is its
size.
</p>
<p>To import the existing <var>filename</var> to Sheepdog, you can use a
convert command.
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-img convert <var>filename</var> sheepdog:///<var>image</var>
</pre></div>
<p>You can boot from the Sheepdog disk image with the command:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 sheepdog:///<var>image</var>
</pre></div>
<p>You can also create a snapshot of the Sheepdog image like qcow2.
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-img snapshot -c <var>tag</var> sheepdog:///<var>image</var>
</pre></div>
<p>where <var>tag</var> is a tag name of the newly created snapshot.
</p>
<p>To boot from the Sheepdog snapshot, specify the tag name of the
snapshot.
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 sheepdog:///<var>image</var>#<var>tag</var>
</pre></div>
<p>You can create a cloned image from the existing snapshot.
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-img create -b sheepdog:///<var>base</var>#<var>tag</var> sheepdog:///<var>image</var>
</pre></div>
<p>where <var>base</var> is a image name of the source snapshot and <var>tag</var>

<a name="iSCSI-LUNs"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.6.12 iSCSI LUNs</h4>
<p>iSCSI is a popular protocol used to access SCSI devices across a computer
network.
</p>
<p>There are two different ways iSCSI devices can be used by QEMU.
</p>
<p>The first method is to mount the iSCSI LUN on the host, and make it appear as
any other ordinary SCSI device on the host and then to access this device as a
/dev/sd device from QEMU. How to do this differs between host OSes.
</p>
<p>The second method involves using the iSCSI initiator that is built into
QEMU. This provides a mechanism that works the same way regardless of which
host OS you are running QEMU on. This section will describe this second method
of using iSCSI together with QEMU.
</p>
<p>In QEMU, iSCSI devices are described using special iSCSI URLs
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">URL syntax:
iscsi://[<username>[%<password>]@]<host>[:<port>]/<target-iqn-name>/<lun>
</pre></div>
<p>Username and password are optional and only used if your target is set up

<h4 class="subsection">3.6.13 GlusterFS disk images</h4>
<p>GlusterFS is an user space distributed file system.
</p>
<p>You can boot from the GlusterFS disk image with the command:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=gluster[+<var>transport</var>]://[<var>server</var>[:<var>port</var>]]/<var>volname</var>/<var>image</var>[?socket=...]
</pre></div>
<p><var>gluster</var> is the protocol.
</p>
<p><var>transport</var> specifies the transport type used to connect to gluster
management daemon (glusterd). Valid transport types are
tcp, unix and rdma. If a transport type isn’t specified, then tcp
type is assumed.
</p>
<p><var>server</var> specifies the server where the volume file specification for
the given volume resides. This can be either hostname, ipv4 address
or ipv6 address. ipv6 address needs to be within square brackets [ ].
If transport type is unix, then <var>server</var> field should not be specified.
Instead <var>socket</var> field needs to be populated with the path to unix domain
socket.
</p>
<p><var>port</var> is the port number on which glusterd is listening. This is optional
and if not specified, QEMU will send 0 which will make gluster to use the
default port. If the transport type is unix, then <var>port</var> should not be
specified.
</p>
<p><var>volname</var> is the name of the gluster volume which contains the disk image.
</p>
<p><var>image</var> is the path to the actual disk image that resides on gluster volume.
</p>
<p>You can create a GlusterFS disk image with the command:
</p><div class="example">

<h4 class="subsection">3.6.14 Secure Shell (ssh) disk images</h4>
<p>You can access disk images located on a remote ssh server
by using the ssh protocol:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=ssh://[<var>user</var>@]<var>server</var>[:<var>port</var>]/<var>path</var>[?host_key_check=<var>host_key_check</var>]

</pre></div>
<p><var>ssh</var> is the protocol.
</p>
<p><var>user</var> is the remote user. If not specified, then the local
username is tried.
</p>
<p><var>server</var> specifies the remote ssh server. Any ssh server can be
used, but it must implement the sftp-server protocol. Most Unix/Linux
systems should work without requiring any extra configuration.
</p>
<p><var>port</var> is the port number on which sshd is listening. By default
the standard ssh port (22) is used.
</p>
<p><var>path</var> is the path to the disk image.
</p>
<p>The optional <var>host_key_check</var> parameter controls how the remote
host’s key is checked. The default is <code>yes</code> which means to use
the local <samp>.ssh/known_hosts</samp> file. Setting this to <code>no</code>
turns off known-hosts checking. Or you can check that the host key
matches a specific fingerprint:
<code>host_key_check=md5:78:45:8e:14:57:4f:d5:45:83:0a:0e:f3:49:82:c9:c8</code>
(<code>sha1:</code> can also be used as a prefix, but note that OpenSSH
tools only use MD5 to print fingerprints).
</p>
<p>Currently authentication must be done using ssh-agent. Other
authentication methods may be supported in future.
</p>
<p>Note: Many ssh servers do not support an <code>fsync</code>-style operation.
The ssh driver cannot guarantee that disk flush requests are
obeyed, and this causes a risk of disk corruption if the remote
server or network goes down during writes. The driver will
print a warning when <code>fsync</code> is not supported:
</p>
<p>warning: ssh server <code>ssh.example.com:22</code> does not support fsync
</p>
<p>With sufficiently new versions of libssh2 and OpenSSH, <code>fsync</code> is
supported.

<h3 class="section">3.7 Network emulation</h3>
<p>QEMU can simulate several network cards (PCI or ISA cards on the PC
target) and can connect them to an arbitrary number of Virtual Local
Area Networks (VLANs). Host TAP devices can be connected to any QEMU
VLAN. VLAN can be connected between separate instances of QEMU to
simulate large networks. For simpler usage, a non privileged user mode
network stack can replace the TAP device to have a basic network
connection.
</p>
<a name="VLANs"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.7.1 VLANs</h4>
<p>QEMU simulates several VLANs. A VLAN can be symbolised as a virtual
connection between several network devices. These devices can be for
example QEMU virtual Ethernet cards or virtual Host ethernet devices
(TAP devices).
</p>
<a name="Using-TAP-network-interfaces"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.7.2 Using TAP network interfaces</h4>
<p>This is the standard way to connect QEMU to a real network. QEMU adds
a virtual network device on your host (called <code>tapN</code>), and you
can then configure it as if it was a real ethernet card.
</p>
<a name="Linux-host"></a>
<h4 class="subsubsection">3.7.2.1 Linux host</h4>
<p>As an example, you can download the <samp>linux-test-xxx.tar.gz</samp>
archive and copy the script <samp>qemu-ifup</samp> in <samp>/etc</samp> and
configure properly <code>sudo</code> so that the command <code>ifconfig</code>
contained in <samp>qemu-ifup</samp> can be executed as root. You must verify
that your host kernel supports the TAP network interfaces: the
device <samp>/dev/net/tun</samp> must be present.
</p>
<p>See <a href="#sec_005finvocation">sec_invocation</a> to have examples of command lines using the
TAP network interfaces.
</p>
<a name="Windows-host"></a>
<h4 class="subsubsection">3.7.2.2 Windows host</h4>
<p>There is a virtual ethernet driver for Windows 2000/XP systems, called
TAP-Win32. But it is not included in standard QEMU for Windows,
so you will need to get it separately. It is part of OpenVPN package,
so download OpenVPN from : <a href="http://openvpn.net/">http://openvpn.net/</a>.
</p>
<a name="Using-the-user-mode-network-stack"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.7.3 Using the user mode network stack</h4>
<p>By using the option <samp>-net user</samp> (default configuration if no
<samp>-net</samp> option is specified), QEMU uses a completely user mode
network stack (you don’t need root privilege to use the virtual
network). The virtual network configuration is the following:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">
QEMU VLAN <------> Firewall/DHCP server <-----> Internet
| (10.0.2.2)
|
----> DNS server (10.0.2.3)
|
----> SMB server (10.0.2.4)
</pre></div>
<p>The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all
incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to automatically
configure the network in the QEMU VM. The DHCP server assign addresses
to the hosts starting from 10.0.2.15.
</p>
<p>In order to check that the user mode network is working, you can ping
the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an address in the range
10.0.2.x from the QEMU virtual DHCP server.
</p>
<p>Note that ICMP traffic in general does not work with user mode networking.
<code>ping</code>, aka. ICMP echo, to the local router (10.0.2.2) shall work,
however. If you’re using QEMU on Linux >= 3.0, it can use unprivileged ICMP
ping sockets to allow <code>ping</code> to the Internet. The host admin has to set
the ping_group_range in order to grant access to those sockets. To allow ping
for GID 100 (usually users group):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">echo 100 100 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ping_group_range
</pre></div>
<p>When using the built-in TFTP server, the router is also the TFTP
server.
</p>
<p>When using the <samp>-redir</samp> option, TCP or UDP connections can be
redirected from the host to the guest. It allows for example to
redirect X11, telnet or SSH connections.
</p>
<a name="Connecting-VLANs-between-QEMU-instances"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.7.4 Connecting VLANs between QEMU instances</h4>
<p>Using the <samp>-net socket</samp> option, it is possible to make VLANs

<h3 class="section">3.8 Other Devices</h3>
<a name="Inter_002dVM-Shared-Memory-device"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.8.1 Inter-VM Shared Memory device</h4>
<p>With KVM enabled on a Linux host, a shared memory device is available. Guests
map a POSIX shared memory region into the guest as a PCI device that enables
zero-copy communication to the application level of the guests. The basic
syntax is:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 -device ivshmem,size=<var>size</var>,shm=<var>shm-name</var>
</pre></div>
<p>If desired, interrupts can be sent between guest VMs accessing the same shared
memory region. Interrupt support requires using a shared memory server and
using a chardev socket to connect to it. The code for the shared memory server
is qemu.git/contrib/ivshmem-server. An example syntax when using the shared
memory server is:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"># First start the ivshmem server once and for all
ivshmem-server -p <var>pidfile</var> -S <var>path</var> -m <var>shm-name</var> -l <var>shm-size</var> -n <var>vectors</var>
# Then start your qemu instances with matching arguments
qemu-system-i386 -device ivshmem,size=<var>shm-size</var>,vectors=<var>vectors</var>,chardev=<var>id</var>
[,msi=on][,ioeventfd=on][,role=peer|master]
-chardev socket,path=<var>path</var>,id=<var>id</var>
</pre></div>
<p>When using the server, the guest will be assigned a VM ID (>=0) that allows guests
using the same server to communicate via interrupts. Guests can read their
VM ID from a device register (see example code). Since receiving the shared
memory region from the server is asynchronous, there is a (small) chance the
guest may boot before the shared memory is attached. To allow an application
to ensure shared memory is attached, the VM ID register will return -1 (an
invalid VM ID) until the memory is attached. Once the shared memory is
attached, the VM ID will return the guest’s valid VM ID. With these semantics,
the guest application can check to ensure the shared memory is attached to the
guest before proceeding.
</p>
<p>The <samp>role</samp> argument can be set to either master or peer and will affect
how the shared memory is migrated. With <samp>role=master</samp>, the guest will
copy the shared memory on migration to the destination host. With
<samp>role=peer</samp>, the guest will not be able to migrate with the device attached.
With the <samp>peer</samp> case, the device should be detached and then reattached
after migration using the PCI hotplug support.
</p>
<a name="ivshmem-and-hugepages"></a>
<h4 class="subsubsection">3.8.1.1 ivshmem and hugepages</h4>
<p>Instead of specifying the <shm size> using POSIX shm, you may specify
a memory backend that has hugepage support:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 -object memory-backend-file,size=1G,mem-path=/mnt/hugepages/my-shmem-file,id=mb1
-device ivshmem,x-memdev=mb1
</pre></div>
<p>ivshmem-server also supports hugepages mount points with the
<samp>-m</samp> memory path argument.

<h3 class="section">3.9 Direct Linux Boot</h3>
<p>This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without
having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux
kernel testing.
</p>
<p>The syntax is:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img -append "root=/dev/hda"
</pre></div>
<p>Use <samp>-kernel</samp> to provide the Linux kernel image and
<samp>-append</samp> to give the kernel command line arguments. The
<samp>-initrd</samp> option can be used to provide an INITRD image.
</p>
<p>When using the direct Linux boot, a disk image for the first hard disk
<samp>hda</samp> is required because its boot sector is used to launch the
Linux kernel.
</p>
<p>If you do not need graphical output, you can disable it and redirect
the virtual serial port and the QEMU monitor to the console with the
<samp>-nographic</samp> option. The typical command line is:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img \
-append "root=/dev/hda console=ttyS0" -nographic

<p>WARNING: this is an experimental feature. QEMU will slow down when

Cameras) are not supported yet.
</p>
<ol>
<li> If you use an early Linux 2.4 kernel, verify that no Linux driver

</pre></div>
</li><li> Since only root can access to the USB devices directly, you can either launch QEMU as root or change the permissions of the USB devices you want to use. For testing, the following suffices:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">chown -R myuid /proc/bus/usb

</li><li> Add the device in QEMU by using:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">usb_add host:1234:5678

<h4 class="subsection">3.11.1 Without passwords</h4>
<p>The simplest VNC server setup does not include any form of authentication.
For this setup it is recommended to restrict it to listen on a UNIX domain
socket only. For example
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc unix:/home/joebloggs/.qemu-myvm-vnc
</pre></div>
<p>This ensures that only users on local box with read/write access to that
path can access the VNC server. To securely access the VNC server from a
remote machine, a combination of netcat+ssh can be used to provide a secure
tunnel.
</p>
<hr>
<a name="vnc_005fsec_005fpassword"></a>
<a name="With-passwords"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.11.2 With passwords</h4>
<p>The VNC protocol has limited support for password based authentication. Since
the protocol limits passwords to 8 characters it should not be considered
to provide high security. The password can be fairly easily brute-forced by
a client making repeat connections. For this reason, a VNC server using password
authentication should be restricted to only listen on the loopback interface
or UNIX domain sockets. Password authentication is not supported when operating
in FIPS 140-2 compliance mode as it requires the use of the DES cipher. Password
authentication is requested with the <code>password</code> option, and then once QEMU
is running the password is set with the monitor. Until the monitor is used to
set the password all clients will be rejected.

<h4 class="subsection">3.11.3 With x509 certificates</h4>
<p>The QEMU VNC server also implements the VeNCrypt extension allowing use of
TLS for encryption of the session, and x509 certificates for authentication.
The use of x509 certificates is strongly recommended, because TLS on its
own is susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. Basic x509 certificate
support provides a secure session, but no authentication. This allows any
client to connect, and provides an encrypted session.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,tls,x509=/etc/pki/qemu -monitor stdio
</pre></div>
<p>In the above example <code>/etc/pki/qemu</code> should contain at least three files,
<code>ca-cert.pem</code>, <code>server-cert.pem</code> and <code>server-key.pem</code>. Unprivileged
users will want to use a private directory, for example <code>$HOME/.pki/qemu</code>.
NB the <code>server-key.pem</code> file should be protected with file mode 0600 to
only be readable by the user owning it.

<h4 class="subsection">3.11.4 With x509 certificates and client verification</h4>
<p>Certificates can also provide a means to authenticate the client connecting.
The server will request that the client provide a certificate, which it will
then validate against the CA certificate. This is a good choice if deploying
in an environment with a private internal certificate authority.
</p>
<div class="example">

<a name="With-SASL-authentication"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.11.6 With SASL authentication</h4>
<p>The SASL authentication method is a VNC extension, that provides an
easily extendable, pluggable authentication method. This allows for
integration with a wide range of authentication mechanisms, such as
PAM, GSSAPI/Kerberos, LDAP, SQL databases, one-time keys and more.
The strength of the authentication depends on the exact mechanism
configured. If the chosen mechanism also provides a SSF layer, then
it will encrypt the datastream as well.
</p>
<p>Refer to the later docs on how to choose the exact SASL mechanism
used for authentication, but assuming use of one supporting SSF,
then QEMU can be launched with:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,sasl -monitor stdio

<h4 class="subsection">3.11.7 With x509 certificates and SASL authentication</h4>
<p>If the desired SASL authentication mechanism does not supported
SSF layers, then it is strongly advised to run it in combination
with TLS and x509 certificates. This provides securely encrypted
data stream, avoiding risk of compromising of the security
credentials. This can be enabled, by combining the ’sasl’ option
with the aforementioned TLS + x509 options:

<a name="Generating-certificates-for-VNC"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.11.8 Generating certificates for VNC</h4>
<p>The GNU TLS packages provides a command called <code>certtool</code> which can
be used to generate certificates and keys in PEM format. At a minimum it
is necessary to setup a certificate authority, and issue certificates to
each server. If using certificates for authentication, then each client
will also need to be issued a certificate. The recommendation is for the
server to keep its certificates in either <code>/etc/pki/qemu</code> or for
unprivileged users in <code>$HOME/.pki/qemu</code>.
</p>

<a name="vnc_005fgenerate_005fca"></a>
<a name="Setup-the-Certificate-Authority"></a>
<h4 class="subsubsection">3.11.8.1 Setup the Certificate Authority</h4>
<p>This step only needs to be performed once per organization / organizational
unit. First the CA needs a private key. This key must be kept VERY secret
and secure. If this key is compromised the entire trust chain of the certificates
issued with it is lost.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"># certtool --generate-privkey > ca-key.pem
</pre></div>
<p>A CA needs to have a public certificate. For simplicity it can be a self-signed
certificate, or one issue by a commercial certificate issuing authority. To
generate a self-signed certificate requires one core piece of information, the
name of the organization.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"># cat > ca.info <<EOF
cn = Name of your organization
ca
cert_signing_key
EOF
# certtool --generate-self-signed \
--load-privkey ca-key.pem
--template ca.info \
--outfile ca-cert.pem
</pre></div>
<p>The <code>ca-cert.pem</code> file should be copied to all servers and clients wishing to utilize
TLS support in the VNC server. The <code>ca-key.pem</code> must not be disclosed/copied at all.

<hr>
<a name="vnc_005fgenerate_005fserver"></a>
<a name="Issuing-server-certificates"></a>
<h4 class="subsubsection">3.11.8.2 Issuing server certificates</h4>
<p>Each server (or host) needs to be issued with a key and certificate. When connecting
the certificate is sent to the client which validates it against the CA certificate.
The core piece of information for a server certificate is the hostname. This should
be the fully qualified hostname that the client will connect with, since the client
will typically also verify the hostname in the certificate. On the host holding the
secure CA private key:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"># cat > server.info <<EOF
organization = Name of your organization
cn = server.foo.example.com
tls_www_server
encryption_key
signing_key

# certtool --generate-privkey > server-key.pem
# certtool --generate-certificate \

--load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \
--load-privkey server-key.pem \
--template server.info \
--outfile server-cert.pem
</pre></div>
<p>The <code>server-key.pem</code> and <code>server-cert.pem</code> files should now be securely copied
to the server for which they were generated. The <code>server-key.pem</code> is security
sensitive and should be kept protected with file mode 0600 to prevent disclosure.

<a name="vnc_005fgenerate_005fclient"></a>
<a name="Issuing-client-certificates"></a>
<h4 class="subsubsection">3.11.8.3 Issuing client certificates</h4>
<p>If the QEMU VNC server is to use the <code>x509verify</code> option to validate client
certificates as its authentication mechanism, each client also needs to be issued
a certificate. The client certificate contains enough metadata to uniquely identify
the client, typically organization, state, city, building, etc. On the host holding
the secure CA private key:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"># cat > client.info <<EOF
country = GB
state = London
locality = London
organization = Name of your organization
cn = client.foo.example.com

<a name="Configuring-SASL-mechanisms"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">3.11.9 Configuring SASL mechanisms</h4>
<p>The following documentation assumes use of the Cyrus SASL implementation on a
Linux host, but the principals should apply to any other SASL impl. When SASL
is enabled, the mechanism configuration will be loaded from system default
SASL service config /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an
unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used
to make it search alternate locations for the service config.
</p>
<p>The default configuration might contain
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">mech_list: digest-md5
sasldb_path: /etc/qemu/passwd.db
</pre></div>
<p>This says to use the ’Digest MD5’ mechanism, which is similar to the HTTP
Digest-MD5 mechanism. The list of valid usernames & passwords is maintained
in the /etc/qemu/passwd.db file, and can be updated using the saslpasswd2
command. While this mechanism is easy to configure and use, it is not
considered secure by modern standards, so only suitable for developers /
ad-hoc testing.
</p>
<p>A more serious deployment might use Kerberos, which is done with the ’gssapi’
mechanism
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">mech_list: gssapi
keytab: /etc/qemu/krb5.tab
</pre></div>
<p>For this to work the administrator of your KDC must generate a Kerberos
principal for the server, with a name of ’qemu/somehost.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM’
replacing ’somehost.example.com’ with the fully qualified host name of the
machine running QEMU, and ’EXAMPLE.COM’ with the Kerberos Realm.
</p>
<p>Other configurations will be left as an exercise for the reader. It should
be noted that only Digest-MD5 and GSSAPI provides a SSF layer for data
encryption. For all other mechanisms, VNC should always be configured to
use TLS and x509 certificates to protect security credentials from snooping.

<a name="gdb_005fusage"></a>
<a name="GDB-usage"></a>
<h3 class="section">3.12 GDB usage</h3>
<p>QEMU has a primitive support to work with gdb, so that you can do
’Ctrl-C’ while the virtual machine is running and inspect its state.
</p>
<p>In order to use gdb, launch QEMU with the ’-s’ option. It will wait for a
gdb connection:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-system-i386 -s -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img \
-append "root=/dev/hda"
Connected to host network interface: tun0
Waiting gdb connection on port 1234
</pre></div>
<p>Then launch gdb on the ’vmlinux’ executable:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">> gdb vmlinux
</pre></div>
<p>In gdb, connect to QEMU:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
</pre></div>
<p>Then you can use gdb normally. For example, type ’c’ to launch the kernel:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">(gdb) c
</pre></div>
<p>Here are some useful tips in order to use gdb on system code:
</p>
<ol>
<li> Use <code>info reg</code> to display all the CPU registers.
</li><li> Use <code>x/10i $eip</code> to display the code at the PC position.
</li><li> Use <code>set architecture i8086</code> to dump 16 bit code. Then use
<code>x/10i $cs*16+$eip</code> to dump the code at the PC position.
</li></ol>
<p>Advanced debugging options:
</p>
<p>The default single stepping behavior is step with the IRQs and timer service routines off. It is set this way because when gdb executes a single step it expects to advance beyond the current instruction. With the IRQs and timer service routines on, a single step might jump into the one of the interrupt or exception vectors instead of executing the current instruction. This means you may hit the same breakpoint a number of times before executing the instruction gdb wants to have executed. Because there are rare circumstances where you want to single step into an interrupt vector the behavior can be controlled from GDB. There are three commands you can query and set the single step behavior:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>maintenance packet qqemu.sstepbits</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This will display the MASK bits used to control the single stepping IE:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">(gdb) maintenance packet qqemu.sstepbits
sending: "qqemu.sstepbits"
received: "ENABLE=1,NOIRQ=2,NOTIMER=4"
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>maintenance packet qqemu.sstep</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This will display the current value of the mask used when single stepping IE:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">(gdb) maintenance packet qqemu.sstep
sending: "qqemu.sstep"
received: "0x7"
</pre></div>
</dd>
<dt><code>maintenance packet Qqemu.sstep=HEX_VALUE</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This will change the single step mask, so if wanted to enable IRQs on the single step, but not timers, you would use:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">(gdb) maintenance packet Qqemu.sstep=0x5
sending: "qemu.sstep=0x5"
received: "OK"

<h4 class="subsection">5.2.1 Quick Start</h4>
<p>In order to launch a Linux process, QEMU needs the process executable
itself and all the target (x86) dynamic libraries used by it.
</p>
<ul>
<li> On x86, you can just try to launch any process by using the native
libraries:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls
</pre></div>
<p><code>-L /</code> tells that the x86 dynamic linker must be searched with a
<samp>/</samp> prefix.
</p>
</li><li> Since QEMU is also a linux process, you can launch QEMU with
QEMU (NOTE: you can only do that if you compiled QEMU from the sources):
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-i386 -L / qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls
</pre></div>
</li><li> On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc
(<samp>qemu-runtime-i386-XXX-.tar.gz</samp> on the QEMU web page). Ensure that
<code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> is not set:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
</pre></div>
<p>Then you can launch the precompiled <samp>ls</samp> x86 executable:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-i386 tests/i386/ls
</pre></div>
<p>You can look at <samp>scripts/qemu-binfmt-conf.sh</samp> so that
QEMU is automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to
launch x86 executables. It requires the <code>binfmt_misc</code> module in the
Linux kernel.
</p>
</li><li> The x86 version of QEMU is also included. You can try weird things such as:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-i386 \
/usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386

</li></ul>
<hr>
<a name="Wine-launch"></a>
<a name="Wine-launch-1"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">5.2.2 Wine launch</h4>
<ul>
<li> Ensure that you have a working QEMU with the x86 glibc
distribution (see previous section). In order to verify it, you must be
able to do:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386
</pre></div>
</li><li> Download the binary x86 Wine install
(<samp>qemu-XXX-i386-wine.tar.gz</samp> on the QEMU web page).
</li><li> Configure Wine on your account. Look at the provided script
<samp>/usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/wine-conf.sh</samp>. Your previous
<code>${HOME}/.wine</code> directory is saved to <code>${HOME}/.wine.org</code>.
</li><li> Then you can try the example <samp>putty.exe</samp>:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/wine/bin/wine \
/usr/local/qemu-i386/wine/c/Program\ Files/putty.exe

<samp>zlib.h</samp> and <samp>libz.dll.a</samp> are in
MinGW’s default header and linker search paths.
</li><li> Extract the current version of QEMU.
</li><li> Start the MSYS shell (file <samp>msys.bat</samp>).
</li><li> Change to the QEMU directory. Launch <samp>./configure</samp> and

<samp>sdl-config</samp> can be launched from the MSYS command line.
</li><li> You can install QEMU in <samp>Program Files/QEMU</samp> by typing

<ul>
<li> Install the MinGW cross compilation tools available at
<a href="http://www.mingw.org/">http://www.mingw.org/</a>.
</li><li> Download
the MinGW development library of SDL 1.2.x
(<samp>SDL-devel-1.2.x-mingw32.tar.gz</samp>) from
<a href="http://www.libsdl.org">http://www.libsdl.org</a>. Unpack it in a temporary place and
edit the <samp>sdl-config</samp> script so that it gives the
correct SDL directory when invoked. Set up the <code>PATH</code> environment
variable so that <samp>sdl-config</samp> can be launched by
the QEMU configuration script.
</li><li> Install the MinGW version of zlib and make sure
<samp>zlib.h</samp> and <samp>libz.dll.a</samp> are in
MinGW’s default header and linker search paths.
</li><li> Configure QEMU for Windows cross compilation:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">PATH=/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin:$PATH ./configure --cross-prefix='i686-pc-mingw32-'
</pre></div>
<p>The example assumes <samp>sdl-config</samp> is installed under <samp>/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin</samp> and
MinGW cross compilation tools have names like <samp>i686-pc-mingw32-gcc</samp> and <samp>i686-pc-mingw32-strip</samp>.
We set the <code>PATH</code> environment variable to ensure the MinGW version of <samp>sdl-config</samp> is used and
use –cross-prefix to specify the name of the cross compiler.
You can also use –prefix to set the Win32 install path which defaults to <samp>c:/Program Files/QEMU</samp>.
</p>
<p>Under Fedora Linux, you can run:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">yum -y install mingw32-gcc mingw32-SDL mingw32-zlib
</pre></div>
<p>to get a suitable cross compilation environment.
</p>
</li><li> You can install QEMU in the installation directory by typing
<code>make install</code>. Don’t forget to copy <samp>SDL.dll</samp> and <samp>zlib1.dll</samp> into the
installation directory.
</li></ul>
<p>Wine can be used to launch the resulting qemu-system-i386.exe
and all other qemu-system-<var>target</var>.exe compiled for Win32.

<p>* You may find it easiest to get these from a third-party packager
such as Homebrew, Macports, or Fink.
</p>
<p>After downloading the QEMU source code, double-click it to expand it.
</p>
<p>Then configure and make QEMU:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">./configure
make
</pre></div>
<p>If you have a recent version of Mac OS X (OSX 10.7 or better
with Xcode 4.2 or better) we recommend building QEMU with the
default compiler provided by Apple, for your version of Mac OS X
(which will be ’clang’). The configure script will
automatically pick this.
</p>
<p>Note: If after the configure step you see a message like this:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">ERROR: Your compiler does not support the __thread specifier for
Thread-Local Storage (TLS). Please upgrade to a version that does.
</pre></div>
<p>you may have to build your own version of gcc from source. Expect that to take
several hours. More information can be found here:
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/install/">https://gcc.gnu.org/install/</a> <br>
</p>
<p>These are some of the third party binaries of gcc available for download:
</p><ul>
<li> Homebrew: <a href="http://brew.sh/">http://brew.sh/</a>
</li><li> <a href="https://www.litebeam.net/gcc/gcc_472.pkg">https://www.litebeam.net/gcc/gcc_472.pkg</a>

</li></ul>
<p>You can have several versions of GCC on your system. To specify a certain version,
use the –cc and –cxx options.
