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

``_. The documentation for the

current development version that is available at

``_ is generated from the ``docs/``

folder in the source tree, and is built by `Sphinx

`_.



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:

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

[email protected] 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

`_ of

the Developers Guide.



Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via

the QEMU website



* ``_

* ``_



The QEMU website is also maintained under source control.



.. code-block:: shell



  git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu-web.git



* ``_



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



*  ``_



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:



* ``_



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:



* ``_



ChangeLog

=========



For version history and release notes, please visit

``_ or look at the git history for

Contact

=======



The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two

main methods being email and IRC
