NB, the virtio-input device reports a bitmask to the guest driver that
has a bit set for each Linux keycode that the host is able to send to
the guest.
Thus by adding these extra key mappings we are technically changing the
host<->guest ABI. This would also happen any time we defined new mappings
for QEMU keycodes in future.
When a keycode is removed from the list of possible keycodes that host can
send to the guest, it means that the guest OS will think it is possible
to receive a key that in pratice can never be generated, which is harmless.
When a keycode is added to the list of possible keycodes that the host can
send to the guest, it means that the guest OS can see an unexpected event.
The Linux virtio_input.c driver code simply forwards this event to the
input_event() method in the Linux input subsystem. This in turn calls
input_handle_event(), which then calls input_get_disposition(). This method
checks if the input event is present in the permitted keys bitmap, and if
not returns INPUT_IGNORE_EVENT. Thus the unexpected event will get dropped,
which is harmless.
If the guest OS reboots, or otherwise re-initializes the virt-input device,
it will read the new keycode bitmap. No matter how many keys are defined,
the config space has a fixed 128 byte bitmap. There is, however, a size
field defiend which says how many bytes in the bitmap are used. So the guest
OS reads the size of the bitmap, and then it reads the data from bitmap upto
the designated size. So if the guest OS re-initializes at precisely the time
that QEMU is migrated across versions, in the worst case, it could conceivably
read the old size field, but then get the newly updated bitmap. If a key were
added this is harmless, since it simply means it may not process the newly
added key. If a key were removed, then it could be readnig a byte from the
bitmap that was not initialized. Fortunately QEMU always memsets() the entire
bitmap to 0, prior to setting keybits. Thus the guest OS will simply read
zeros, which is again harmless.
Based on this analysis, it is believed that there is no need to preserve the
virtio-input-hid keymaps across migration, as the host<->guest ABI change is
harmless and self-resolving at time of guest reboot.
NB, this behaviour should perhaps be formalized in the virtio-input spec
to declare how guest OS drivers should be written to be robust in their
handling of the potentially changable key bitmaps.

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.
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:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
https://qemu.org/Hosts/Linux
https://qemu.org/Hosts/Mac
https://qemu.org/Hosts/W32
Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
https://qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
https://qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
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 launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
https://qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- #qemu on irc.oftc.net
