and x86_64. This is for static binaries only, that are relatively small, but
it's better than the 100% instant mmap failre that is the current state of all
things bsd-user in upstream qemu. Future patch sets will refine this, add
the missing system calls, fix bugs preventing more sophisticated programms
from running and add a bunch of new architecture support.
There's three large themes in these patches, though the changes that
represent them are interrelated making it hard to separate out further.
1. Reorganization to support multiple OS and architectures (though I've only
tested FreeBSD, other BSDs might not even compile yet).
2. Diff reduction with the bsd-user fork for several files. These diffs include
changes that borrowed from linux-user as well as changes to make things work
on FreeBSD. The records keeping when this was done, however, was poor at
best, so many of the specific borrowings are going unacknowledged here, apart
from this general ack. These diffs also include some minor code shuffling.
Some of the changes are done specifically to make it easier to rebase
the bsd-user fork's changes when these land in the tree (a number of changes
have been pushed there to make this more possible).
3. Filling in the missing pieces to make things work. There's many changes to
elfload to make it load things in the right places, to find the interpreter
better, etc. There's changes to mmap.c to make the mappings work better and
there's changes to main.c that were inspired, at least, by now-ancient changes
to linux-user's main.c.
I ran checkpatch.pl on this, and there's 350-odd errors it identifies (the vast
majoirty come from BSD's fetish for tabs), so there will need to be a V2 to fix
this at the very least. In addition, the change set is big (about +~4.5k/-~2.5k
lines), so I anticipate some iteration as well just based on its sheer
size. I've tried to keep each set small to make it easy to review in isolation,
but I've also allowed some interrelated ones to get a little bigger than I'd
normally like. I've not done the customary documentation of the expected
checkpatch.pl output because it is large, and because I wanted to get review
of the other parts rolling to get this project unstuck. Future versions of the
patch will document the expected output.
In addition, I noticed a number of places where I could modernize to make the
code match things like linux-user better. I've resisted the urge to do these at
this time, since it would complicate merging the other ~30k lines of diff that
remains after this batch. Future batches should generally be smaller once this
one has landed since they are, by and large, either a bunch of new files to
support armv7, aarch64, riscv64, mips, mipsel, mips64, ppc, ppc64 and ppc64le,
or are adding system calls, which can be done individually or small groups. I've
removed sparc and sparc64 support as they've been removed from FreeBSD and
have been near totally busted for years.
Stacey Son did the bulk of this work originally, but since I had to move things
around so much and/or retool that work in non-trivial ways, I've kept myself as
author, and added his signed-off-by line. I'm unsure of the qemu standard
practice for this, but am happy to learn if this is too far outside its current
mainstream. For a while Sean Bruno did the merges from upstream, and he's
credited using his signed-off-by in appropriate places, though for this patch
set there's only a few. I've tried to ensure that others who have work in
individual patches that I've aggregated together also are reflected in their
signed-off-by. Given the chaotic stat of the upstream repo for its early
history, this may be the best that can be reconstructed at this late date. Most
of these files are 'foundational' so have existed from the earliest days when
record keeping wasn't quite what I'd wish for in hindsight. There was only
really one change that I could easily cherry-pick (Colin's), so I did that.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/bsdimp/tags/pull-bsd-user-20210910' into staging
This series of patches gets me to the point that I can run "Hello World" on i386

it's better than the 100% instant mmap failre that is the current state of all
things bsd-user in upstream qemu. Future patch sets will refine this, add

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Documentation
=============
Documentation can be found hosted online at
`<https://www.qemu.org/documentation/>`_. The documentation for the
current development version that is available at
`<https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/>`_ is generated from the ``docs/``
folder in the source tree, and is built by `Sphinx
<https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>_`.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
* `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Linux>`_
* `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Mac>`_
* `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/W32>`_
Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
.. code-block:: shell
git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu.git
When submitting patches, one common approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the `style section
<https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/style.html>` of
the Developers Guide.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
* `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_
* `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches>`_
The QEMU website is also maintained under source control.
.. code-block:: shell
git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu-web.git
* `<https://www.qemu.org/2017/02/04/the-new-qemu-website-is-up/>`_
A 'git-publish' utility was created to make above process less
cumbersome, and is highly recommended for making regular contributions,
or even just for sending consecutive patch series revisions. It also
requires a working 'git send-email' setup, and by default doesn't
automate everything, so you may want to go through the above steps
manually for once.
For installation instructions, please go to
* `<https://github.com/stefanha/git-publish>`_
The workflow with 'git-publish' is:
.. code-block:: shell
$ git checkout master -b my-feature
$ # work on new commits, add your 'Signed-off-by' lines to each
$ git publish
Your patch series will be sent and tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer
back to it in the future.
Sending v2:
.. code-block:: shell
$ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch
$ # making changes to the commits (using 'git rebase', for example)
$ git publish
Your patch series will be sent with 'v2' tag in the subject and the git tip
will be tagged as my-feature-v2.
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses GitLab issues to track bugs. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
* `<https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues>`_
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via GitLab.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
* `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug>`_
ChangeLog
=========
For version history and release notes, please visit
`<https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/>`_ or look at the git history for
more detailed information.
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
* `<mailto:qemu-devel@nongnu.org>`_
* `<https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel>`_
* #qemu on irc.oftc.net
Information on additional methods of contacting the community can be
found online via the QEMU website:
