Enable e820_host option for VMs with PCI devices (to allow VM kernel to
deal with address space conflicts). But add a property to allow
disabling it.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#2019
Leave the 'proper' fix of making this package noarch commented
out for now, to allow this to be merged.
Comments as per the parallel submit to qubes-artwork.
This allows to assign PCI device to the VM, even if it doesn't support
proper reset. The default behaviour (when the value is True) is to not
allow such attachment (VM will not start if such device is assigned).
Require libvirt patch for this option.
Apparently it is much faster. Especially during savefile preparation -
tar reads the whole file, while bsdtar gets file map and reads only used
regions.
Mostly done. Things still using xenstore/not working at all:
- DispVM
- qubesutils.py (especially qvm-block and qvm-usb code)
- external IP change notification for ProxyVM (should be done via RPC
service)
Move DispVM creation to qfile-daemon-dvm/QubesDisposableVm from
qubes-restore. As actual restore is handled by libvirt, we don't get
much from separate qubes-restore process.
This code still needs some improvements, especially on performance.
Since dom0 support is in mainline kernel we no longer strictly require
our patched kernel. So drop the dependency. Note that installer will
still install the right kernel.
This is especially important when kernel-qubes-vm's %post was executed
before qubes-core-dom0's %post - in that case, the default kernel would
be left as "None".
It is common for both dom0 and VM, and also quite linux-specific
(other OSes will need other implementation). So move to linux-specific
repo (not dom0-specific).
Also some major cleanups: Reduce some more code duplication
(verify_hmac, simplify backup_restore_prepare). Rename
backup_dir/backup_tmpdir variables to better match its purpose. Rename
backup_do_copy back to backup_do. Require QubesVm object (instead of VM
name) as appvm param.
HVM can set some xenstore entries (in qubes-tools/ subtree) to pass
informations about installed tools to dom0. qubes.NotifyTools service
triggers update of VM properties (like qrexec_installed).
This way, after installation of Qubes Windows Tools, the user doesn't need
to change any VM settings to use the tools.
