Laurent Vivier April 2, 2020, 10:02 a.m. UTC
This series introduces new QMP/HMP commands to dump the status
of a a virtio device at different levels.

1. Main command

 HMP Only:

     virtio [subcommand]

   Example:

    List all sub-commands:

    (qemu) virtio
    virtio query  -- List all available virtio devices
    virtio status path -- Display status of a given virtio device
    virtio queue-status path queue -- Display status of a given virtio queue
    virtio queue-element path queue [index] -- Display element of a given virtio queue

2. List available virtio devices in the machine

  HMP Form:

    virtio query

  Example:

    (qemu) virtio query
    /machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend [virtio-net]
    /machine/peripheral-anon/device[1]/virtio-backend [virtio-serial]
    /machine/peripheral-anon/device[0]/virtio-backend [virtio-blk]

  QMP Form:

    { 'command': 'query-virtio', 'returns': ['VirtioInfo'] }

  Example:

  -> { "execute": "query-virtio" }
  <- { "return": [
         {
             "path": "/machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend",
             "type": "virtio-net"
         },
         {
             "path": "/machine/peripheral-anon/device[1]/virtio-backend",
             "type": "virtio-serial"
         },
         {
             "path": "/machine/peripheral-anon/device[0]/virtio-backend",
             "type": "virtio-blk"
         }
       ]
     }

3. Display status of a given virtio device

  HMP Form:

    virtio status <path>

  Example:

    (qemu) virtio status /machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend
    /machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend:
      Device Id:        1
      Guest features:   0x0000000130afffa7
      Host features:    0x0000000179bfffe7
      Backend features: 0x0000000000000000
      Endianness:       little
      VirtQueues:       3

  QMP Form:

    { 'command': 'virtio-status',
      'data': { 'path': 'str' },
      'returns': 'VirtioStatus'
    }

  Example:

  -> { "execute": "virtio-status",
       "arguments": {
           "path": "/machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend"
       }
    }
  <- { "return": {
           "backend_features": 0,
           "guest_features": 5111807911,
           "num_vqs": 3,
           "host_features": 6337593319,
           "device_endian": "little",
           "device_id": 1
       }
     }

4. Display status of a given virtio queue

  HMP Form:

    virtio queue-status <path> <queue>

  Example:

    (qemu) virtio queue-status /machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend 0
    /machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend:
      index:                0
      inuse:                0
      last_avail_idx:       61
      shadow_avail_idx:     292
      signalled_used:       61
      signalled_used_valid: 1
      VRing:
        num:         256
        num_default: 256
        align:       4096
        desc:        0x000000006c352000
        avail:       0x000000006c353000
        used:        0x000000006c353240

  QMP Form:

    { 'command': 'virtio-queue-status',
      'data': { 'path': 'str', 'queue': 'uint16' },
      'returns': 'VirtQueueStatus'
    }

  Example:

  -> { "execute": "virtio-queue-status",
       "arguments": {
           "path": "/machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend",
           "queue": 0
       }
    }
  <- { "return": {
       "signalled_used": 373,
       "inuse": 0,
       "vring_desc": 864411648,
       "vring_num_default": 256,
       "signalled_used_valid": 1,
       "vring_avail": 864415744,
       "last_avail_idx": 373,
       "queue_index": 0,
       "vring_used": 864416320,
       "shadow_avail_idx": 619,
       "used_idx": 373,
       "vring_num": 256,
       "vring_align": 4096
       }
     }

5. Display element of a given virtio queue

  HMP Form:

    virtio queue-element <path> <queue> [index]

  Example:

    Dump the information of the head element of the first queue of
    the first virtio device::

      (qemu) virtio queue-element/machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend 0
      index:  67
      ndescs: 1
      descs:  addr 0x6fe69800 len 1536 (write-only)

      (qemu) xp/128bx 0x6fe69800
      000000006fe69800: 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
      000000006fe69808: 0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x52 0x54 0x00 0x12
      000000006fe69810: 0x34 0x56 0x52 0x54 0x00 0x09 0x51 0xde
      000000006fe69818: 0x08 0x00 0x45 0x00 0x00 0x4c 0x8f 0x32

    device[3] is a virtio-net device and we can see in the element buffer the
    MAC address of the card::

      [root@localhost ~]# ip link show ens4
      2: ens4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP m0
          link/ether 52:54:00:12:34:56 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    and the MAC address of the gateway::

      [root@localhost ~]# arp -a
      _gateway (192.168.122.1) at 52:54:00:09:51:de [ether] on ens4

  QMP Form:

    { 'command': 'virtio-queue-element',
      'data': { 'path': 'str', 'queue': 'uint16', '*index': 'uint16' },
      'returns': 'VirtioQueueElement'
    }

  Example:

  -> { "execute": "virtio-queue-element",
       "arguments": {
           "path": "/machine/peripheral-anon/device[3]/virtio-backend",
           "queue": 0
       }
    }
  -> { "return": {
          "index": 109,
          "len": 0,
          "ndescs": 1,
          "descs": [
              { "flags": 2, "len": 2048, "addr": 853145600 }
          ]
       }
    }

Looks nice, but my feeling is that we are growing qemu with debugging
facilities in general with HMP/QMP.

If this is only for debugging purposes, why don't we compile it only
when --enable-debug?

A guest that would need to be debugged could have its state loaded in
a debug version of qemu.

Alternatively, I think most of the data you provide here could
probably be introspected via gdb scripts.

Just some thoughts

I kind of agree, but virtio is bread-and-butter, so having it available
all the time isn't a bad idea; however having said that hte same
argument would be for why having gdb scripts to examine your virtio
queues would be useful if you're dealing with a core.
