Dear maintainers,
First of all, thank you very much for your review of my patch
[1].
In this version (v5), I have attempted to address all the problems
addressed by Daniel during the last review. I've been more careful with
all the remarks made.
However, one question remains unanswered pointing the issue with the
location of "/var/local/run/qemu-vmsr-helper.sock", created by
compute_default_paths(). QEMU is not allowed to reach the socket here.
Thank you again for your continued guidance.
v4 -> v5
--------
- correct qio_channel_get_peerpid: return pid = -1 in case of error
- Vmsr_helper: compile only for x86
- Vmsr_helper: use qio_channel_read/write_all
- Vmsr_helper: abandon user/group
- Vmsr_energy.c: correct all error_report
- Vmsr thread: compute default socket path only once
- Vmsr thread: open socket only once
- Pass relevant QEMU CI
v3 -> v4
--------
- Correct memory leaks with AddressSanitizer
- Add sanity check for QEMU and qemu-vmsr-helper for checking if host is
INTEL and if RAPL is activated.
- Rename poor variables naming for easier comprehension
- Move code that checks Host before creating the VMSR thread
- Get rid of libnuma: create function that read sysfs for reading the
Host topology instead
v2 -> v3
--------
- Move all memory allocations from Clib to Glib
- Compile on *BSD (working on Linux only)
- No more limitation on the virtual package: each vCPU that belongs to
the same virtual package is giving the same results like expected on
a real CPU.
This has been tested topology like:
-smp 4,sockets=2
-smp 16,sockets=4,cores=2,threads=2
v1 -> v2
--------
- To overcome the CVE-2020-8694 a socket communication is created
to a priviliged helper
- Add the priviliged helper (qemu-vmsr-helper)
- Add SO_PEERCRED in qio channel socket
RFC -> v1
---------
- Add vmsr_* in front of all vmsr specific function
- Change malloc()/calloc()... with all glib equivalent
- Pre-allocate all dynamic memories when possible
- Add a Documentation of implementation, limitation and usage
Best regards,
Anthony
