[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1708551] [NEW] macOS Guest Reading USB 3.0 Bus as USB 2.0

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1708551] [NEW] macOS Guest Reading USB 3.0 Bus as USB 2.0

[Divine E]

Public bug reported:

Description:
I'm having trouble with USB Passthrough. Running `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` on macOS guest confirms that the system "sees" my device, and that qemu is passing *something* through. However, the system sees my connection as USB 2.0, even though i'm passing through XHCI controllers (nec-usb-xhci/qemu-xhci). I suspect this is the reason why my guest is unable to recognize my iPhone in XCode & iTunes.

Parameters:
QEMU release version: 2.10.0-rc0
Bios: [patched version of OVMF](https://github.com/gsomlo/edk2/tree/macboot)]
Command Line: https://pastebin.com/pBSYbrW1
Host: Arch Linux
Guest: macOS v10.12.6
Guest System Info: https://pastebin.com/U1Tihxei

Notes:
1. Observed sometime after late-May-early-June of this year.

2. Due to [a defect in qemu v2.8 which affected GTK
users](https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1578192), and [a recent
change to macOS' booting process conflicting with qemu
v2.9](https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-
devel/2017-03/msg06366.html), i'm forced to use qemu v2.10.0-rc0 (as
-rc1 fails to load OVMF right now).

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1708551] Re: macOS Guest Reading USB 3.0 Bus as USB 2.0

[Thomas Huth]

Could you please try to run QEMU without the "-usb" option here? "-usb"
automatically creates an EHCI and UHCI controller on the q35 machine, so
that might be the reason that your USB devices get connected as USB 2.0
instead.

Then simply omit the "bus=usb-bus.0" here - the devices then should be
put onto the XHCI bus automatically.

Removing the `bus=usb-bus.0` param from everything, [as shown
here](https://pastebin.com/x0Cp70XD), boots fine; but completely breaks
mouse functionality. To mitigate, i tried passing through a Logitech
mousepad I own--in similar fashion to the iPhone; but Host complained
about permissions & `libusb` requiring "write access to USB device
nodes".

FWIW, I vaguely recall the `usb-tablet` parameter being "a whole thing"
with virtual macOS; however, I'll need to check my records to refresh my
memory.

[Thomas Huth]

Ok, could you maybe try something like this instead:

 qemu-system-x86_64 ... -usb \
    -device qemu-xhci,id=xhci \
    -device usb-tablet,bus=usb-bus.0 \
    -device usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0 \
    -device usb-host,bus=xhci.0,vendorid=0x05ac,productid=0x12a8

i.e. use "bus=xhci.0" for the usb-host device?
