Description:

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to achieve good emulation speed. QEMU has two operating modes: * Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the PC or to debug system code. * User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to launch the Wine Windows API emulator or to ease cross-compilation and cross-debugging. As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and easy to use.

pkg-message:

For install:: FreeBSD host notes ================== - Needs to set net.link.tap.user_open sysctl in order to use /dev/tap* networking as non-root. Don't forget to adjust device node permissions in /etc/devfs.rules. - The -smb option (smb-export local dir to guest using the default slirp networking) needs the samba port/package installed in addition to qemu. (SAMBA knob.) - If you want to use usb devices connected to the host in the guest yot can use usbredir over the network (see below); also unless you are running qemu as root you then need to fix permissions for /dev/ugen* device nodes: if you are on 5.x or later (devfs) put a rule in /etc/devfs.rules, activate it in /etc/rc.conf and run /etc/rc.d/devfs restart. Example devfs.rules: [ugen_ruleset=20] add path 'ugen*' mode 660 group operator corresponding rc.conf line: devfs_system_ruleset="ugen_ruleset" - Still usb: since the hub is no longer attached to the uchi controller and the wakeup mechanism, resume interrupt is not implemented yet linux guests will suspend the bus, i.e. they wont see devices usb_add'ed after its (linux') uhci module got loaded. Workaround: either add devices before linux loads the module or rmmod and modprobe it afterwards. [Not sure if this still applies to the new libusb host code used on recent 10-current.] - If you get repeated `atapi_poll called!' console messages with FreeBSD guests or other weird cdrom problems then thats probably because the guest has atapicam loaded, which for reasons still to be determined has problems with qemu's now by default enabled cdrom dma. You can build the port with CDROM_DMA disabled to disable it. [Looks like this is fixed in recent FreeBSD guest versions.] - qemu's network boot roms (-boot n) have a bug when bootfiles sizes are a multiple of blksize, if this affects you (like with FreeBSD's /boot/pxeboot) you can do like cp /boot/pxeboot pxeboot-qemu && chmod +w pxeboot-qemu && echo >>pxeboot-qemu and then use pxeboot-qemu. Actually you need recent btx code (from after 7.0 was released) because of the real mode boot problem, so use at least pxeboot from there. And I just did that for the pxeboot extracted out of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/200805/7.0-STABLE-200805-i386-bootonly.iso and placed it here: http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/qemu/pxeboot-qemu - If you use slirp (usernet, the default) and want to mount nfs into the guest and you are not running qemu as root, then mountd(8) on the exporting box needs to be run with -n in order to accept requests from ports >= 1024. - (not FreeBSD-specific:) There have been reports of qcow2 corruption with (at least) win2k guests on recent kvm (which uses similar qcow2 code than qemu now, see this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-02/msg00713.html - the consensus on that thread seems to be that qcow(2) code has always been experimental and you should use raw images if you want reliability; raw is also usually faster.) You should be able to migrate existing images to raw using qemu-img(1)'s convert function; raw doesn't support advanced features like snapshots tho. [a few important qcow2 bugfixed have been committed in the meantime so this _might_ be less of an issue now; and meanwhile there also is the new qed format - I don't know how stable that one is.] - (also not FreeBSD-specific:) It is recommended to pass raw images using the new -drive syntax, specifying format=raw explicitly in order to avoid malicious guests being able to exploit the format autodetection thats otherwise getting used. (Not that you should run malicious guests anyway, but this eleminates at least a known attack vector.) - qemu now has improved physical cdrom support, but still there is at least one known problem: you need to have the guest eject the disc if you want to change it/take it out, or otherwise the guest may continue using state (like size) of the old disc. (You can also do like `change ide1-cd0 /dev/acd0' in the monitor after taking out the disc if a guest cannot eject it itself.)
