@chapter Introduction

@section Features

QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to

achieve good emulation speed.

QEMU has two operating modes:

@itemize @minus

@item 

Full system emulation. In this mode, QEMU emulates a full system (for

example a PC), including a processor and various peripherials. It can

be used to launch different Operating Systems without rebooting the

PC or to debug system code.

@item 

User mode emulation (Linux host only). In this mode, QEMU can launch

Linux processes compiled for one CPU on another CPU. It can be used to

launch the Wine Windows API emulator (@url{http://www.winehq.org}) or

to ease cross-compilation and cross-debugging.

@end itemize

As QEMU requires no host kernel driver to run, it is very safe and

easy to use.

For system emulation, only the x86 PC emulator is currently

usable. The PowerPC system emulator is being developped.

For user emulation, x86, PowerPC, ARM, and SPARC CPUs are supported.

@chapter Installation

@section Linux

If you want to compile QEMU, please read the @file{README} which gives

the related information. Otherwise just download the binary

distribution (@file{qemu-XXX-i386.tar.gz}) and untar it as root in

@file{/}:

@example

su

cd /

tar zxvf /tmp/qemu-XXX-i386.tar.gz

@end example

@section Windows

w

@itemize

@item Install the current versions of MSYS and MinGW from

@url{http://www.mingw.org/}. You can find detailed installation

instructions in the download section and the FAQ.

@item Download 

the MinGW development library of SDL 1.2.x

(@file{SDL-devel-1.2.x-mingw32.tar.gz}) from

@url{http://www.libsdl.org}. Unpack it in a temporary place, and

unpack the archive @file{i386-mingw32msvc.tar.gz} in the MinGW tool

directory. Edit the @file{sdl-config} script so that it gives the

correct SDL directory when invoked.

@item Extract the current version of QEMU.

@item Start the MSYS shell (file @file{msys.bat}).

@item Change to the QEMU directory. Launch @file{./configure} and 

@file{make}.  If you have problems using SDL, verify that

@file{sdl-config} can be launched from the MSYS command line.

@item You can install QEMU in @file{Program Files/Qemu} by typing 

@file{make install}. Don't forget to copy @file{SDL.dll} in

@file{Program Files/Qemu}.

@end itemize

@section Cross compilation for Windows with Linux

@itemize

@item

Install the MinGW cross compilation tools available at

@url{http://www.mingw.org/}.

@item 

Install the Win32 version of SDL (@url{http://www.libsdl.org}) by

unpacking @file{i386-mingw32msvc.tar.gz}. Set up the PATH environment

variable so that @file{i386-mingw32msvc-sdl-config} can be launched by

the QEMU configuration script.

@item 

Configure QEMU for Windows cross compilation:

@example

./configure --enable-mingw32

@end example

If necessary, you can change the cross-prefix according to the prefix

choosen for the MinGW tools with --cross-prefix. You can also use

--prefix to set the Win32 install path.

@item You can install QEMU in the installation directory by typing 

@file{make install}. Don't forget to copy @file{SDL.dll} in the

installation directory. 

@end itemize

Note: Currently, Wine does not seem able to launch

QEMU for Win32.

@section Mac OS X

Mac OS X is currently not supported.

@chapter QEMU System emulator invocation

@section Introduction

@c man begin DESCRIPTION

The QEMU System emulator simulates a complete PC. 

In order to meet specific user needs, two versions of QEMU are

available:

@enumerate

@item 

@code{qemu-fast} uses the host Memory Management Unit (MMU) to simulate 

the x86 MMU. It is @emph{fast} but has limitations because the whole 4 GB

address space cannot be used and some memory mapped peripherials

cannot be emulated accurately yet. Therefore, a specific Linux kernel

must be used (@xref{linux_compile}).

@item 

@code{qemu} uses a software MMU. It is about @emph{two times 

slower} but gives a more accurate emulation. 

@end enumerate

QEMU emulates the following PC peripherials:

@itemize @minus

@item

VGA (hardware level, including all non standard modes)

@item

PS/2 mouse and keyboard

@item 

2 IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support

@item

Floppy disk

@item 

up to 6 NE2000 network adapters

@item

Serial port

@item 

Soundblaster 16 card

@end itemize

@c man end

@section Quick Start

Download and uncompress the linux image (@file{linux.img}) and type:

@example

qemu linux.img

@end example

Linux should boot and give you a prompt.

@section Invocation

@example

@c man begin SYNOPSIS

usage: qemu [options] [disk_image]

@c man end

@end example

@c man begin OPTIONS

@var{disk_image} is a raw hard disk image for IDE hard disk 0.

General options:

@table @option

@item -fda file

@item -fdb file

Use @var{file} as floppy disk 0/1 image (@xref{disk_images}).

@item -hda file

@item -hdb file

@item -hdc file

@item -hdd file

Use @var{file} as hard disk 0, 1, 2 or 3 image (@xref{disk_images}).

@item -cdrom file

Use @var{file} as CD-ROM image (you cannot use @option{-hdc} and and

@option{-cdrom} at the same time).

@item -boot [a|c|d]

Boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d). Hard disk boot is

the default.

@item -snapshot

Write to temporary files instead of disk image files. In this case,

the raw disk image you use is not written back. You can however force

the write back by pressing @key{C-a s} (@xref{disk_images}). 

@item -m megs

Set virtual RAM size to @var{megs} megabytes.

@item -initrd file

Use @var{file} as initial ram disk.

@item -nographic

Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option,

you can totally disable graphical output so that QEMU is a simple

command line application. The emulated serial port is redirected on

the console. Therefore, you can still use QEMU to debug a Linux kernel

with a serial console.

@end table

Network options:

@table @option

@item -n script      

Set network init script [default=/etc/qemu-ifup]. This script is

launched to configure the host network interface (usually tun0)

corresponding to the virtual NE2000 card.

@item nics n

Simulate @var{n} network interfaces (default=1).

@item -macaddr addr   

Set the mac address of the first interface (the format is

aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff in hexa). The mac address is incremented for each

new network interface.

@item -tun-fd fd1,...

Assumes @var{fd} talks to tap/tun and use it. Read

@url{http://bellard.org/qemu/tetrinet.html} to have an example of its

use.

@end table

Linux boot specific. When using this options, you can use a given

Linux kernel without installing it in the disk image. It can be useful

for easier testing of various kernels.

@table @option

@item -kernel bzImage 

Use @var{bzImage} as kernel image.

@item -append cmdline 

Use @var{cmdline} as kernel command line

@item -initrd file

Use @var{file} as initial ram disk.

@end table

Debug options:

@table @option

@item -s

Wait gdb connection to port 1234 (@xref{gdb_usage}). 

@item -p port

Change gdb connection port.

@item -d             

Output log in /tmp/qemu.log

@end table

During emulation, if you are using the serial console, use @key{C-a h}

to get terminal commands:

@table @key

@item C-a h

Print this help

@item C-a x    

Exit emulatior

@item C-a s    

Save disk data back to file (if -snapshot)

@end example

@end itemize

@item p or print/fmt expr

Print expression value. Only the @var{format} part of @var{fmt} is

used.

@end table

@subsection Integer expressions

The monitor understands integers expressions for every integer

argument. You can use register names to get the value of specifics

CPU registers by prefixing them with @emph{$}.

@node disk_images

@section Disk Images

@subsection Raw disk images

The disk images can simply be raw images of the hard disk. You can

create them with the command:

@example

dd if=/dev/zero of=myimage bs=1024 count=mysize

@end example

where @var{myimage} is the image filename and @var{mysize} is its size

in kilobytes.

@subsection Snapshot mode

If you use the option @option{-snapshot}, all disk images are

considered as read only. When sectors in written, they are written in

a temporary file created in @file{/tmp}. You can however force the

write back to the raw disk images by pressing @key{C-a s}.

NOTE: The snapshot mode only works with raw disk images.

@subsection Copy On Write disk images

QEMU also supports user mode Linux

(@url{http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/}) Copy On Write (COW)

disk images. The COW disk images are much smaller than normal images

as they store only modified sectors. They also permit the use of the

same disk image template for many users.

To create a COW disk images, use the command:

@example

qemu-mkcow -f myrawimage.bin mycowimage.cow

@end example

@file{myrawimage.bin} is a raw image you want to use as original disk

image. It will never be written to.

@file{mycowimage.cow} is the COW disk image which is created by

@code{qemu-mkcow}. You can use it directly with the @option{-hdx}

options. You must not modify the original raw disk image if you use

COW images, as COW images only store the modified sectors from the raw

disk image. QEMU stores the original raw disk image name and its

modified time in the COW disk image so that chances of mistakes are

reduced.

If the raw disk image is not read-only, by pressing @key{C-a s} you

can flush the COW disk image back into the raw disk image, as in

snapshot mode.

COW disk images can also be created without a corresponding raw disk

image. It is useful to have a big initial virtual disk image without

using much disk space. Use:

@example

qemu-mkcow mycowimage.cow 1024

@end example

to create a 1 gigabyte empty COW disk image.

NOTES: 

@enumerate

@item

COW disk images must be created on file systems supporting

@emph{holes} such as ext2 or ext3.

@item 

Since holes are used, the displayed size of the COW disk image is not

the real one. To know it, use the @code{ls -ls} command.

@end enumerate

@section Direct Linux Boot and Network emulation

This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without

having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux

kernel testing. The QEMU network configuration is also explained.

@enumerate

@item

Download the archive @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz} containing a Linux

kernel and a disk image. 

@item Optional: If you want network support (for example to launch X11 examples), you

must copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and configure

properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig} contained in

@file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify that your host

kernel supports the TUN/TAP network interfaces: the device

@file{/dev/net/tun} must be present.

When network is enabled, there is a virtual network connection between

the host kernel and the emulated kernel. The emulated kernel is seen

from the host kernel at IP address 172.20.0.2 and the host kernel is

seen from the emulated kernel at IP address 172.20.0.1.

@item Launch @code{qemu.sh}. You should have the following output:

@example

> ./qemu.sh 

Connected to host network interface: tun0

QEMU Linux test distribution (based on Redhat 9)

Type 'exit' to halt the system

sh-2.05b# 

@end example

@item

Then you can play with the kernel inside the virtual serial console. You

can launch @code{ls} for example. Type @key{Ctrl-a h} to have an help

about the keys you can type inside the virtual serial console. In

particular, use @key{Ctrl-a x} to exit QEMU and use @key{Ctrl-a b} as

the Magic SysRq key.

@item 

If the network is enabled, launch the script @file{/etc/linuxrc} in the

emulator (don't forget the leading dot):

@example

. /etc/linuxrc

@end example

Then enable X11 connections on your PC from the emulated Linux: 

@example

xhost +172.20.0.2

@end example

You can now launch @file{xterm} or @file{xlogo} and verify that you have

a real Virtual Linux system !

@end enumerate

NOTES:

@enumerate

@item 

A 2.5.74 kernel is also included in the archive. Just

replace the bzImage in qemu.sh to try it.

@item 

qemu-fast creates a temporary file in @var{$QEMU_TMPDIR} (@file{/tmp} is the

default) containing all the simulated PC memory. If possible, try to use

a temporary directory using the tmpfs filesystem to avoid too many

unnecessary disk accesses.

@item 

In order to exit cleanly from qemu, you can do a @emph{shutdown} inside

qemu. qemu will automatically exit when the Linux shutdown is done.

@item 

You can boot slightly faster by disabling the probe of non present IDE

interfaces. To do so, add the following options on the kernel command

line:

@example

ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe ide4=noprobe ide5=noprobe

@end example

@item 

The example disk image is a modified version of the one made by Kevin

Lawton for the plex86 Project (@url{www.plex86.org}).

@end enumerate

@node linux_compile

@section Linux Kernel Compilation

You can use any linux kernel with QEMU. However, if you want to use

@code{qemu-fast} to get maximum performances, you must use a modified

guest kernel. If you are using a 2.6 guest kernel, you can use

directly the patch @file{linux-2.6-qemu-fast.patch} made by Rusty

Russel available in the QEMU source archive. Otherwise, you can make the

following changes @emph{by hand} to the Linux kernel:

@enumerate

@item

The kernel must be mapped at 0x90000000 (the default is

0xc0000000). You must modify only two lines in the kernel source:

In @file{include/asm/page.h}, replace

@example

#define __PAGE_OFFSET           (0xc0000000)

@end example

by

@example

#define __PAGE_OFFSET           (0x90000000)

@end example

And in @file{arch/i386/vmlinux.lds}, replace

@example

  . = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000;

@end example

by 

@example

  . = 0x90000000 + 0x100000;

@end example

@item

If you want to enable SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) support, you

must make the following change in @file{include/asm/fixmap.h}. Replace

@example

#define FIXADDR_TOP	(0xffffX000UL)

@end example

by 

@example

#define FIXADDR_TOP	(0xa7ffX000UL)

@end example

(X is 'e' or 'f' depending on the kernel version). Although you can

use an SMP kernel with QEMU, it only supports one CPU.

@item

If you are not using a 2.6 kernel as host kernel but if you use a target

2.6 kernel, you must also ensure that the 'HZ' define is set to 100

(1000 is the default) as QEMU cannot currently emulate timers at

frequencies greater than 100 Hz on host Linux systems < 2.6. In

@file{include/asm/param.h}, replace:

@example

# define HZ		1000		/* Internal kernel timer frequency */

@end example

by

@example

# define HZ		100		/* Internal kernel timer frequency */

@end example

@end enumerate

The file config-2.x.x gives the configuration of the example kernels.

Just type

@example

make bzImage

@end example

As you would do to make a real kernel. Then you can use with QEMU

exactly the same kernel as you would boot on your PC (in

@file{arch/i386/boot/bzImage}).

@node gdb_usage

@section GDB usage

QEMU has a primitive support to work with gdb, so that you can do

'Ctrl-C' while the virtual machine is running and inspect its state.

In order to use gdb, launch qemu with the '-s' option. It will wait for a

gdb connection:

@example

> qemu -s -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img -append "root=/dev/hda"

Connected to host network interface: tun0

Waiting gdb connection on port 1234

@end example

Then launch gdb on the 'vmlinux' executable:

@example

> gdb vmlinux

@end example

In gdb, connect to QEMU:

@example

(gdb) target remote localhost:1234

@end example

Then you can use gdb normally. For example, type 'c' to launch the kernel:

@example

(gdb) c

@end example

Here are some useful tips in order to use gdb on system code:

@chapter QEMU User space emulator invocation

@section Quick Start

In order to launch a Linux process, QEMU needs the process executable

itself and all the target (x86) dynamic libraries used by it. 

@itemize

@item On x86, you can just try to launch any process by using the native

libraries:

@example 

qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls

@end example

@code{-L /} tells that the x86 dynamic linker must be searched with a

@file{/} prefix.

@item Since QEMU is also a linux process, you can launch qemu with qemu (NOTE: you can only do that if you compiled QEMU from the sources):

@example 

qemu-i386 -L / qemu-i386 -L / /bin/ls

@end example

@item On non x86 CPUs, you need first to download at least an x86 glibc

(@file{qemu-runtime-i386-XXX-.tar.gz} on the QEMU web page). Ensure that

@code{LD_LIBRARY_PATH} is not set:

@example

unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH 

@end example

Then you can launch the precompiled @file{ls} x86 executable:

@example

qemu-i386 tests/i386/ls

@end example

You can look at @file{qemu-binfmt-conf.sh} so that

QEMU is automatically launched by the Linux kernel when you try to

launch x86 executables. It requires the @code{binfmt_misc} module in the

Linux kernel.

@item The x86 version of QEMU is also included. You can try weird things such as:

@example

qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386

@end example

@end itemize

@section Wine launch

@itemize

@item Ensure that you have a working QEMU with the x86 glibc

distribution (see previous section). In order to verify it, you must be

able to do:

@example

qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/ls-i386

@end example

@item Download the binary x86 Wine install

(@file{qemu-XXX-i386-wine.tar.gz} on the QEMU web page). 

@item Configure Wine on your account. Look at the provided script

@file{/usr/local/qemu-i386/bin/wine-conf.sh}. Your previous

@code{$@{HOME@}/.wine} directory is saved to @code{$@{HOME@}/.wine.org}.

@item Then you can try the example @file{putty.exe}:

@example

qemu-i386 /usr/local/qemu-i386/wine/bin/wine /usr/local/qemu-i386/wine/c/Program\ Files/putty.exe

@end example

@end itemize

@section Command line options

@example

usage: qemu-i386 [-h] [-d] [-L path] [-s size] program [arguments...]

@end example

@table @option

@item -h

Print the help

@item -L path   

Set the x86 elf interpreter prefix (default=/usr/local/qemu-i386)

@item -s size

Set the x86 stack size in bytes (default=524288)

@end table

Debug options:

@table @option

@item -d

Activate log (logfile=/tmp/qemu.log)

@item -p pagesize

Act as if the host page size was 'pagesize' bytes

@end table
