6af165892c usb-redir: Add the posibility to filter out certain devices from redirecion
This patch adds the posibility to filter out certain devices from redirecion.
To use this pass the filter property to -device usb-redir.  The filter
property takes a string consisting of filter rules, the format for a rule is:
<class>:<vendor>:<product>:<version>:<allow>

-1 can be used to allow any value for a field.

Muliple rules can be concatonated using | as a separator. Note that if
a device matches none of the passed in rules, redirecting it will not be
allowed!

Example:
-device usb-redir,filter='-1:0x0781:0x5567👎0|0x08👎-1👎1'

This example will deny the Sandisk Cruzer Blade being redirected, as it
has a usb id of 0781:5567, it will allow any other usb mass storage devices,
and it will deny any other devices (the default for devices not matching any
of the rules.

a7c36ee492 Add support for net bridge
The most common use of -net tap is to connect a tap device to a bridge.  This
requires the use of a script and running qemu as root in order to allocate a
tap device to pass to the script.

This model is great for portability and flexibility but it's incredibly
difficult to eliminate the need to run qemu as root.  The only really viable
mechanism is to use tunctl to create a tap device, attach it to a bridge as
root, and then hand that tap device to qemu.  The problem with this mechanism
is that it requires administrator intervention whenever a user wants to create
a guest.

By essentially writing a helper that implements the most common qemu-ifup
script that can be safely given cap_net_admin, we can dramatically simplify
things for non-privileged users.  We still support existing -net tap options
as a mechanism for advanced users and backwards compatibility.

Currently, this is very Linux centric but there's really no reason why it
couldn't be extended for other Unixes.

A typical invocation would be similar to one of the following:

  qemu linux.img -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper"
                 -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

  qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper",id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

The default bridge that we attach to is br0.  The thinking is that a distro
could preconfigure such an interface to allow out-of-the-box bridged networking.

Alternatively, if a user wants to use a different bridge, a typical invocation
would be simliar to one of the following:

  qemu linux.img -net bridge,br=qemubr0 -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0"
                 -net nic,model=virtio

  qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

  qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0",id=hn0
                 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

47e98658f5 Add cap reduction support to enable use as SUID
The ideal way to use qemu-bridge-helper is to give it an fscap of using:

 setcap cap_net_admin=ep qemu-bridge-helper

Unfortunately, most distros still do not have a mechanism to package files
with fscaps applied.  This means they'll have to SUID the qemu-bridge-helper
binary.

To improve security, use libcap to reduce our capability set to just
cap_net_admin, then reduce privileges down to the calling user.  This is
hopefully close to equivalent to fscap support from a security perspective.

7b93fadf3a Add basic version of bridge helper
This patch adds a helper that can be used to create a tap device attached to
a bridge device.  Since this helper is minimal in what it does, it can be
given CAP_NET_ADMIN which allows qemu to avoid running as root while still
satisfying the majority of what users tend to want to do with tap devices.

The way this all works is that qemu launches this helper passing a bridge
name and the name of an inherited file descriptor.  The descriptor is one
end of a socketpair() of domain sockets.  This domain socket is used to
transmit a file descriptor of the opened tap device from the helper to qemu.

The helper can then exit and let qemu use the tap device.

359bc95d3e configure: Fix test for supported host CPU type
The test for whether the host CPU is supported had several problems:
 * the attempt to fall back to TCI was done as a duplicate
   test, very late (so "--cpu foo" would fail early but "--cpu unicore32"
   would fail late, differently, and after configure had already
   printed a lot of output)
 * a number of CPUs only supported as guests were included in the
   list of CPUs we would accept as valid hosts, which would result
   in a late compile failure on those systems rather than a
   configure failure or fallback to TCI
 * bailing out for an unsupported CPU happened before the main
   option parsing, so "configure --help" wouldn't work

Fix these by folding the setting of ARCH into the first test for
supported host CPU, removing spurious guest-only CPU names from it,
and moving the "fall back to TCI" code earlier.

With this patch, it only takes one test (instead of four)
to detect that there is no Xen support at all.

For most build hosts, this will reduce the time configure needs.
It will also reduce noisy output in config.log.

Build hosts with Xen now need up to five (instead of up to four)
tests. They get improved diagnostics when Xen support fails.

Since commit 1d14ffa97e (in 2005),
QEMU applications on W32 don't use the default SDL compiler flags:

Instead of a GUI application, a console application is created.

This has disadvantages (there is always an empty console window) and
no obvious reason, so this patch removes the strange flag modification.

The SDL GUI applications still can be run from a console window
and even send stdout and stderr to that console by setting environment
variable SDL_STDIO_REDIRECT=no.

Tests using the glib test framework are independent from libcheck and
afaik are always present (although having a configure switch to disable
them is probably worth it).

Untangle test-coroutine from the libcheck tests by introducing the
'test_progs' variable and using it to generate the test list used by
'make check'.

40d6444e91 configure: build position independent executables on x86-Linux hosts
Change the default on x86 Linux hosts to building PIE (position
independent executables); instead of restricting the option to
user-only targets, apply it to all targets.

In addition, set the relocation sections to read-only (relro) when
available; this reduces the attack surface by disallowing changes to
relocation tables at runtime.

While PIE reduces performance and relro increases load time, it
greatly improves security, with the potential to reduce a code
execution vulnerability to a self denial of service.

Non-x86 are not changed, as they require TCG changes; neither are
non-Linux, due to lack of test coverage.

f2338fb48a configure: Do not use 'sed -i'
'sed -i' is not defined in POSIX. It doesn't work on Mac OS X the way
it's used in configure (without suffix argument). This patch implements
Peter Maydell's idea of xattr.h detection.
