Passing "-display none" to qemu before any further +-sdl options disables this default behaviour and ensures that SDL is +only started if the libxl configuration demands it. + +If qemu-xen was compiled without SDL support then qemu would instead +start a VNC server listening on ::1 (IPv6 localhost) or 127.0.0.1 +(IPv4 localhost) with IPv6 preferred if available. Explicitly pass +"-vnc none" when vnc is not enabled in the libxl configuration to +remove this possibility. + +qemu-xen-traditional would never start a vnc backend unless asked. +However by default it will start an SDL backend, the way to disable +this is to pass a -vnc option. In other words passing "-vnc none" will +disable both vnc and sdl by default. sdl can then be reenabled if +configured by subsequent use of the -sdl option. + +Tested with both qemu-xen and qemu-xen-traditional built with SDL +support and: + xl cr # defaults + xl cr sdl=0 vnc=0 + xl cr sdl=1 vnc=0 + xl cr sdl=0 vnc=1 + xl cr sdl=0 vnc=0 vga=\"none\" + xl cr sdl=0 vnc=0 nographic=1 +with both valid and invalid $DISPLAY. + +This is XSA-119. + +Reported-by: Sander Eikelenboom <linux@eikelenboom.it> +Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> +Acked-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com> +--- + tools/libxl/libxl_dm.c | 21 +++++++++++++++++++-- + 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) + +diff --git a/tools/libxl/libxl_dm.c b/tools/libxl/libxl_dm.c +index 8599a6a..3b918c6 100644 +--- a/tools/libxl/libxl_dm.c ++++ b/tools/libxl/libxl_dm.c +@@ -180,7 +180,14 @@ static char ** libxl__build_device_model_args_old(libxl__gc *gc, + if (libxl_defbool_val(vnc->findunused)) { + flexarray_append(dm_args, "-vncunused"); + } +- } ++ } else ++ /* ++ * VNC is not enabled by default by qemu-xen-traditional, ++ * however passing -vnc none causes SDL to not be ++ * (unexpectedly) enabled by default.
