+Specifies how to deal with multiple devices being shared with a 9p export.
+Supported behaviours are either "remap", "forbid" or "warn". The latter is
+the default behaviour on which virtfs 9p expects only one device to be
+shared with the same export, and if more than one device is shared and
+accessed via the same 9p export then only a warning message is logged
+(once) by qemu on host side. In order to avoid file ID collisions on guest
+you should either create a separate virtfs export for each device to be
+shared with guests (recommended way) or you might use "remap" instead which
+allows you to share multiple devices with only one export instead, which is
+achieved by remapping the original inode numbers from host to guest in a
+way that would prevent such collisions. Remapping inodes in such use cases
+is required because the original device IDs from host are never passed and
+exposed on guest. Instead all files of an export shared with virtfs always
+share the same device id on guest. So two files with identical inode
+numbers but from actually different devices on host would otherwise cause a
+file ID collision and hence potential misbehaviours on guest. "forbid" on
+the other hand assumes like "warn" that only one device is shared by the
+same export, however it will not only log a warning message but also
+deny access to additional devices on guest. Note though that "forbid" does
+currently not block all possible file access operations (e.g. readdir()
+would still return entries from other devices).

Colo-compare gets packet from primary_in@var{chardevid} and secondary_in@var{chardevid}, than compare primary packet with
secondary packet. If the packets are same, we will output primary
In order to improve efficiency, we need to put the task of comparison
in another thread. If it has the vnet_hdr_support flag, colo compare
will send/recv packet with vnet_hdr_len.

@end example
If you want to know the detail of above command line, you can read
@example
- # qemu-system-x86_64 \
+ # @value{qemu_system} \
[...] \
-object cryptodev-backend-builtin,id=cryptodev0 \
-device virtio-crypto-pci,id=crypto0,cryptodev=cryptodev0 \
@example
- # qemu-system-x86_64 \
+ # @value{qemu_system} \
[...] \
-chardev socket,id=chardev0,path=/path/to/socket \
-object cryptodev-vhost-user,id=cryptodev0,chardev=chardev0 \
@example
- # $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw
+ # @value{qemu_system} -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw
@end example
The simplest secure usage is to provide the secret via a file
# printf "letmein" > mypasswd.txt
- # $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt,format=raw
+ # @value{qemu_system} -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt,format=raw
For greater security, AES-256-CBC should be used. To illustrate usage,
consider the openssl command line tool which can encrypt the data. Note
contents of @code{iv.b64} to the second secret
@example
- # $QEMU \
+ # @value{qemu_system} \
-object secret,id=secmaster0,format=base64,file=key.b64 \
-object secret,id=sec0,keyid=secmaster0,format=base64,\
data=$SECRET,iv=$(<iv.b64)
e.g to launch a SEV guest
@example
- # $QEMU \
+ # @value{qemu_system_x86} \
......
-object sev-guest,id=sev0,cbitpos=47,reduced-phys-bits=5 \
-machine ...,memory-encryption=sev0
An example authorization object to validate a x509 distinguished name

An example authorization object to validate a SASL username

- # $QEMU \
