The situation is improved now that we're running in a sandbox, but there is still some host machine access that could be concerning depending on the context. These concerns may be somewhat mitigated by the fact that the host machine usually provides the loader binary, even when the guest image is providing the loader scripts -- they only bring the lua scripts, and they have to be able to execute arbitrary syscalls rather than the interfaces provided by libsa(3).

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is used to load a
|
|
.Fx
|
|
guest inside a
|
|
.Xr bhyve 4
|
|
virtual machine.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is based on
|
|
.Xr loader 8
|
|
and will present an interface identical to the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
loader on the user's terminal.
|
|
This behavior can be changed by specifying a different OS loader.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The virtual machine is identified as
|
|
.Ar vmname
|
|
and will be created if it does not already exist.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl c Ar cons-dev
|
|
.Ar cons-dev
|
|
is a
|
|
.Xr tty 4
|
|
device to use for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
terminal I/O.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The text string "stdio" is also accepted and selects the use of
|
|
unbuffered standard I/O. This is the default value.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar disk-path
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar disk-path
|
|
is the pathname of the guest's boot disk image.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar name=value
|
|
Set the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
loader environment variable
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
to
|
|
.Ar value .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The option may be used more than once to set more than one environment
|
|
variable.
|
|
.It Fl h Ar host-path
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar host-path
|
|
is the directory at the top of the guest's boot filesystem.
|
|
.It Fl l Ar os-loader
|
|
Specify a different OS loader.
|
|
By default
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will use
|
|
.Pa /boot/userboot.so ,
|
|
which presents a standard
|
|
.Fx
|
|
loader.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar memsize Ns Op Ar K|k|M|m|G|g|T|t
|
|
.Ar memsize
|
|
is the amount of memory allocated to the guest.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar memsize
|
|
argument may be suffixed with one of
|
|
.Cm K ,
|
|
.Cm M ,
|
|
.Cm G
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm T
|
|
(either upper or lower case) to indicate a multiple of
|
|
Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes or Terabytes
|
|
respectively.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar memsize
|
|
defaults to 256M.
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Include guest memory in the core file when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
dumps core.
|
|
This is intended for debugging an OS loader as it allows inspection of
|
|
the guest memory.
|
|
.It Fl S
|
|
Wire guest memory.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
To create a virtual machine named
|
|
.Ar freebsd-vm
|
|
that boots off the ISO image
|
|
.Pa /freebsd/release.iso
|
|
and has 1GB memory allocated to it:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "bhyveload -m 1G -d /freebsd/release.iso freebsd-vm"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To create a virtual machine named
|
|
.Ar test-vm
|
|
with 256MB of memory allocated, the guest root filesystem under the host
|
|
directory
|
|
.Pa /user/images/test
|
|
and terminal I/O sent to the
|
|
.Xr nmdm 4
|
|
device
|
|
.Pa /dev/nmdm1B
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "bhyveload -m 256MB -h /usr/images/test -c /dev/nmdm1B test-vm"

|
|
.Fx 10.0 ,
|
|
and was developed at NetApp Inc.

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can only load
|
|
.Fx
|
|
as a guest.
|
|
.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
|
|
Note that in some configurations,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will execute guest loader scripts in the context of the host machine.
|
|
Note, however, that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will enter a
|
|
.Xr capsicum 4
|
|
sandbox before it loads the
|
|
.Ar os-loader
|
|
or executes any loader scripts.
|
|
On the host filesystem, the sandbox will only have access to the path specified
|
|
by the
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
flag, the contents of the
|
|
.Pa /boot
|
|
directory if
|
|
.Fl l
|
|
was not specified, and the chosen console device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that the guest loader scripts are already subject to some limitations that
|
|
are not relaxed simply because we are running in userland.
|
|
For instance, any I/O on the loader's
|
|
.Dq host
|
|
device that can be done in loader scripts is limited to the interface that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
provides, which itself will restrict paths that can be touched to those within
|
|
a specified
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
directory, if any.
|
|
Access to files within
|
|
.Pa /boot
|
|
inside the sandbox would require arbitrary code execution in userboot, and
|
|
userboot is usually provided by the host machine rather than anything that is
|
|
a part of the guest image.
|
|
All access to the
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
directory as well as
|
|
.Pa /boot
|
|
is strictly read-only in the sandbox.
