* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script)[qemu-exec]:
Wrap first element in ‘with-parameters’.
Change-Id: Iab9905aaa7e80bad0372c1ee7c3ea88a89564f8f
Use #$ allow cross-compile to with support current system kernel.
e.g. linux-libre-riscv64-generic.
* gnu/system/vm.scm(system-qemu-image/shared-store-script)
(linux-image-startup-command): use #$ for kernel-arguments.

* gnu/system/vm.scm (<virtual-machine>)[cpu-count]: New field.
(virtual-machine-compiler): Honor it.

This is Ludo's suggestion at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36069#26>,
with an added guard against duplicates and a tweaked comment.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (virtualized-operating-system): Add "cirrus" to the
list of INITRD-MODULES.

This is a followup to 05a9d1f378, which
removed its sole user.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (%linux-vm-file-systems): Remove.
(mapping->file-system): Add comment about “cache=loose”.
Previously, copying the image would consume a lot of space and was
I/O-intensive, to the point that the marionette connection timeout of
20s could be reached when running tests like "docker-system".
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Pass 'format=' for each
'-drive' option.
(system-qemu-image/shared-store-script)[copy-image]: New variable.
[builder]: Use it when VOLATILE? is false.
This code duplicates the (gnu system image) and (gnu build image) code. Using
VM for image generation is not needed, not portable and really slow. Remove
all the VM image generation code to make sure that only the image API is used.
* gnu/build/vm.scm: Remove it. Move the qemu-command procedure to ...
* gnu/build/marionette.scm: ... here.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Adapt it.
* tests/modules.scm: Ditto.
* gnu/tests/install.scm: Ditto.
* gnu/system/vm.scm: Adapt it and remove expression->derivation-in-linux-vm,
qemu-img, system-qemu-image/shared-store and system-docker-image procedures.
* doc/guix.texi (G-Expressions): Adapt it.
Also add a volatile? argument to the virtual-machine record. When volatile? is
true generate a QEMU script that mounts an overlay on top of a read only
storage. When volatile? is false, use a persistent, read-write storage.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Add a rw-image? argument to use a
persistent storage.
(system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Add a volatile? argument and honor
it. Use the image API to build the QEMU image.
(<virtual-machine>)[volatile?]: New field.
(virtual-machine-compiler): Pass the volatile? argument to the
system-qemu-image/shared-store-script procedure.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Remove the "-vga std" argument that
is the default since QEMU 2.2.

It configures QEMU to use the tty it was started in for IO (as opposed to
opening a separate graphical window). This enables copy-pasting and
scrollback. Exit QEMU with C-a x.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Also add the
'-nographic' QEMU argument when called with #:graphic? #false.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Propagate
the #:graphic? keyword arg.
(perform-action): Add and propagate the #:graphic? keyword arg.
(show-help): Add --no-graphic CLI arg.
(%options): Process the new --no-graphic CLI arg.
(process-action): Feed in the CLI arg through the #:graphic? keyword arg.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Add example to combine guix system and
invoking the vm start script into one command. Split the description of the
various options into separate paragraphs. Add a paragraph to describe
--no-graphic.

'qemu-minimal' is enough for system tests, which is the main (only?) use
of <virtual-machine>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (<virtual-machine>)[qemu]: Default to QEMU-MINIMAL.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47225>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (%default-msize-value): New variable.
(%linux-vm-file-systems): Use it as the value of the msize option.
(mapping->file-system): Likewise.

Remove the 'vm-image' command that has been superseded by the 'image'
command.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Remove it.
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Mark 'vm-image'
command as deprecated and use the image API to produce the VM image.
(perform-action, show-help): Adapt accordingly.
* tests/guix-system.sh: Ditto.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system,
Running Guix in a VM): Ditto.
* etc/completion/fish/guix.fish: Ditto.
* etc/completion/zsh/_guix: Ditto.
Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/44511>.
Reported by Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Add 'bootloader' field to OS.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image)[file-systems-to-keep]: Check
whether SOURCE is a string before calling 'string-prefix?'. Remove
UUIDs and file system labels as well.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Rename the RNG.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Likewise.
(system-docker-image): Rename the ROOT-DIRECTORY.
* gnu/packages/crypto.scm (eschalot)[arguments]: Use a different
arbitrary string.
* gnu/packages/wicd.scm (wicd)[arguments]: Remove unused configure flag.
* gnu/packages/xorg.scm (xorg-server): Set a more accurate OS vendor.
This allows users to specify network interface settings with 'guix system vm'
without having to create a new NIC. Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/42252>.
Reported by Christopher Lemmer Webber <cwebber@dustycloud.org>.
This reverts commit 5379392731.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image)[preserve-target, inputs*]: New variables.
In gexp, use INPUTS* instead of INPUTS. Wrap OS and BOOTCFG-DRV in
'preserve-target'. Pass INPUTS* instead of INPUTS as the #:references-graphs.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Remove #:target.
[builder]: Use #+. Don't pass #:target-arm32? and #:target-aarch64? to
'load-in-linux-vm'.
Pass #:target #f to 'gexp->derivation'.
(qemu-image): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Remove #:target-aarch64?
and #:target-arm32?. Define them as local variables.
