Add the ability to control the CPU topology of created VMs
from userland without the need to use sysctls, it allows the old
sysctls to continue to function, but deprecates them at
FreeBSD_version 1200060 (Relnotes for deprecate).
The command line of bhyve is maintained in a backwards compatible way.
The API of libvmmapi is maintained in a backwards compatible way.
The sysctl's are maintained in a backwards compatible way.
Added command option looks like:
bhyve -c [[cpus=]n][,sockets=n][,cores=n][,threads=n][,maxcpus=n]
The optional parts can be specified in any order, but only a single
integer invokes the backwards compatible parse. [,maxcpus=n] is
hidden by #ifdef until kernel support is added, though the api
is put in place.
bhyvectl --get-cpu-topology option added.

Initial support for bhyve save and restore.
Save and restore (also known as suspend and resume) permits a snapshot
to be taken of a guest's state that can later be resumed. In the
current implementation, bhyve(8) creates a UNIX domain socket that is
used by bhyvectl(8) to send a request to save a snapshot (and
optionally exit after the snapshot has been taken). A snapshot
currently consists of two files: the first holds a copy of guest RAM,
and the second file holds other guest state such as vCPU register
values and device model state.
To resume a guest, bhyve(8) must be started with a matching pair of
command line arguments to instantiate the same set of device models as
well as a pointer to the saved snapshot.
While the current implementation is useful for several uses cases, it
has a few limitations. The file format for saving the guest state is
tied to the ABI of internal bhyve structures and is not
self-describing (in that it does not communicate the set of device
models present in the system). In addition, the state saved for some
device models closely matches the internal data structures which might
prove a challenge for compatibility of snapshot files across a range
of bhyve versions. The file format also does not currently support
versioning of individual chunks of state. As a result, the current
file format is not a fixed binary format and future revisions to save
and restore will break binary compatiblity of snapshot files. The
goal is to move to a more flexible format that adds versioning,
etc. and at that point to commit to providing a reasonable level of
compatibility. As a result, the current implementation is not enabled
by default. It can be enabled via the WITH_BHYVE_SNAPSHOT=yes option
for userland builds, and the kernel option BHYVE_SHAPSHOT.

is a hypervisor that runs guest operating systems inside a
2013-12-13 08:31:13 +00:00

.Pp
Parameters such as the number of virtual CPUs, amount of guest memory, and
I/O connectivity can be specified with command-line parameters.
.Pp
2017-05-03 21:44:04 +00:00
If not using a boot ROM, the guest operating system must be loaded with

or a similar boot loader before running
2017-05-03 21:44:04 +00:00

otherwise, it is enough to run

with a boot ROM of choice.
2013-12-13 08:31:13 +00:00
.Pp

runs until the guest operating system reboots or an unhandled hypervisor
exit is detected.

.It Fl A

Required for
.Fx Ns /amd64
guests.
2021-04-18 18:26:04 +00:00
.It Fl a
The guest's local APIC is configured in xAPIC mode.
The xAPIC mode is the default setting so this option is redundant.
It will be deprecated in a future version.
.It Fl C
Include guest memory in core file.
Add the ability to control the CPU topology of created VMs
from userland without the need to use sysctls, it allows the old
sysctls to continue to function, but deprecates them at
FreeBSD_version 1200060 (Relnotes for deprecate).
The command line of bhyve is maintained in a backwards compatible way.
The API of libvmmapi is maintained in a backwards compatible way.
The sysctl's are maintained in a backwards compatible way.
Added command option looks like:
bhyve -c [[cpus=]n][,sockets=n][,cores=n][,threads=n][,maxcpus=n]
The optional parts can be specified in any order, but only a single
integer invokes the backwards compatible parse. [,maxcpus=n] is
hidden by #ifdef until kernel support is added, though the api
is put in place.
bhyvectl --get-cpu-topology option added.

goal is to move to a more flexible format that adds versioning,
etc. and at that point to commit to providing a reasonable level of
compatibility. As a result, the current implementation is not enabled
by default. It can be enabled via the WITH_BHYVE_SNAPSHOT=yes option
for userland builds, and the kernel option BHYVE_SHAPSHOT.

Allow CTL device specification in bhyve virtio-scsi.
There was a large refactoring done in CTL to allow multiple ioctl frontend
ports (and respective devices) to be created, particularly for bhyve.
Unfortunately, respective part of bhyve functionality got lost somehow from
the original virtio-scsi commit. This change allows wanted device path to
be specified in either of two ways:
-s 6,virtio-scsi,/dev/cam/ctl1.1
-s 6,virtio-scsi,dev=/dev/cam/ctl2.3
If neither is specified, the default /dev/cam/ctl device is used.
While there, remove per-queue CTL device opening, which makes no sense at

The

This interface is widely used and allows user-defined information to be passed to the guest.
It is used for passing the CPU count, ACPI tables, a boot order and many other things to the guest.
Some operating systems such as Fedora CoreOS can be configured by qemu's fwcfg interface as well.

.Sh CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
.Nm
uses an internal tree of configuration variables to describe global and
per-device settings.
When
.Nm
starts,
it parses command line options (including config files) in the order given
on the command line.
Each command line option sets one or more configuration variables.
For example,
the
.Fl s
option creates a new tree node for a PCI device and sets one or more variables
under that node including the device model and device model-specific variables.
Variables may be set multiple times during this parsing stage with the final
value overriding previous values.
.Pp
Once all of the command line options have been processed,
the configuration values are frozen.
.Nm
then uses the value of configuration values to initialize device models
and global settings.
.Pp
More details on configuration variables can be found in
.Xr bhyve_config 5 .

2018-10-27 21:24:28 +00:00
Memory operations use virtual addresses that are resolved to physical addresses
via the current virtual CPU's active address translation.

.Ss Control
The running guest can be interrupted by the debugger at any time
.Pq for example, by pressing Ctrl-C in the debugger .
.Pp
Single stepping is only supported on Intel CPUs supporting the MTRAP VM exit.
.Pp
2019-12-13 19:21:58 +00:00
Breakpoints are supported on Intel CPUs that support single stepping.
Note that continuing from a breakpoint while interrupts are enabled in the
guest may not work as expected due to timer interrupts firing while single
stepping over the breakpoint.

.Sh EXAMPLES
2017-05-03 21:44:04 +00:00
If not using a boot ROM, the guest operating system must have been loaded with

.Xr bhyveload 8
2013-12-13 08:31:13 +00:00
or a similar boot loader before
.Xr bhyve 4
can be run.
2017-05-03 21:44:04 +00:00
Otherwise, the boot loader is not needed.
