The Monitor object is passed back and forth within the migration/savevm
code so that it can print errors and progress to the user.
However, that approach assumes a HMP monitor, being completely invalid
in QMP.
This commit drops almost every single usage of the Monitor object, all
monitor_printf() calls have been converted into DPRINTF() ones.
There are a few remaining Monitor objects, those are going to be dropped
by the next commit.

Image files have two types of data: immutable data that describes things like
image size, backing files, etc. and mutable data that includes offset and
reference count tables.
Today, image formats aggressively cache mutable data to improve performance. In
some cases, this happens before a guest even starts. When dealing with live
migration, since a file is open on two machines, the caching of meta data can
lead to data corruption.
This patch addresses this by introducing a mechanism to invalidate any cached
mutable data a block driver may have which is then used by the live migration
code.
NB, this still requires coherent shared storage. Addressing migration without
coherent shared storage (i.e. NFS) requires additional work.

A simple migration reproduces it:
1. Start the source VM with:
# qemu [...] -S
2. Start the destination VM with:
# qemu <source VM cmd-line> -incoming tcp:0:4444
3. In the source VM:
(qemu) migrate -d tcp:0:4444
4. The source VM will segfault as soon as migration completes (might not
happen in the first try)
What is happening here is that qemu_file_put_notify() can end up closing
's->file' (in which case it's also set to NULL). The call stack is rather
complex, but Eduardo helped tracking it to:
select loop -> migrate_fd_put_notify() -> qemu_file_put_notify() ->
buffered_put_buffer() -> migrate_fd_put_ready() ->
migrate_fd_completed() -> migrate_fd_cleanup().
To be honest, it's not completely clear to me in which cases 's->file'
is not closed (on error maybe)? But I doubt this fix will make anything
worse.

The no_migrate save state flag is currently only checked in the
last phase of migration. This means that we potentially waste
a lot of time and bandwidth with the live state handlers before
we ever check the no_migrate flags. The error message printed
when we catch a non-migratable device doesn't get printed for
a detached migration. And, no_migrate does nothing to prevent
an incoming migration to a target that includes a non-migratable
device. This attempts to fix all of these.
One notable difference in behavior is that an outgoing migration
now checks for non-migratable devices before ever connecting to
the target system. This means the target will remain listening
rather than exit from failure.

Historically, user monitor arguments beginning with '-' (eg. '-f')
were passed as integers down to handlers.
I've maintained this behavior in the new monitor because we didn't
have a boolean type at the very beginning of QMP. Today we have it
and this behavior is causing trouble to QMP's argument checker.
This commit fixes the problem by doing the following changes:
1. User Monitor
Before: the optional arg was represented as a QInt, we'd pass 1
down to handlers if the user specified the argument or
0 otherwise
This commit: the optional arg is represented as a QBool, we pass
true down to handlers if the user specified the
argument, otherwise _nothing_ is passed
2. QMP
Before: the client was required to pass the arg as QBool, but we'd
convert it to QInt internally. If the argument wasn't passed,
we'd pass 0 down
This commit: still require a QBool, but doesn't do any conversion and
doesn't pass any default value
3. Convert existing handlers (do_eject()/do_migrate()) to the new way
Before: Both handlers would expect a QInt value, either 0 or 1
This commit: Change the handlers to accept a QBool, they handle the
following cases:
A) true is passed: the option is enabled
B) false is passed: the option is disabled
C) nothing is passed: option not specified, use

Implement migration via unix sockets. While you can fake this using
exec and netcat, this involves forking another process and is
generally not very nice. By doing this directly in qemu, we can avoid
the copy through the external nc command. This is useful for
implementations (such as libvirt) that want to do "secure" migration;
we pipe the data on the sending side into the unix socket, libvirt
picks it up, encrypts it, and transports it, and then on the remote
side libvirt decrypts it, dumps it to another unix socket, and
feeds it into qemu.
The implementation is straightforward and looks very similar to

Currently, we're entering migration's stage 3 when

This has hurt some users. However, any proposed threshold is
arbitrary by nature, and would only shift the annoyance.
The proposal of this patch is to define a max_downtime variable,
which represents the maximum downtime a migration user is willing
to suffer. Then, based on the bandwidth of last iteration, we
calculate how much data we can transfer in such a window of time.
Whenever we reach that value (or lower), we know is safe to enter
stage3.
This has largely improved the situation for me.

Currently all registered (and activate) monitor terminals work in
broadcast mode: Everyone sees what someone else types on some other
terminal and what the monitor reports back. This model is broken when
you have a management monitor terminal that is automatically operated
and some other terminal used for independent guest inspection. Such
additional terminals can be multiplexed device channels or a gdb
frontend connected to QEMU's stub.
Therefore, this patch decouples the buffers and states of all monitor
terminals, allowing the user to operate them independently. It finally
starts to use the 'mon' parameter that was introduced earlier with the
API rework. It also defines the default monitor: the first instantance
that has the MONITOR_IS_DEFAULT flag set, and that is the monitor
created via the "-monitor" command line switch (or "vc" if none is
given).
As the patch requires to rework the monitor suspension interface, it
also takes the freedom to make it "truely" suspending (so far suspending
meant suppressing the prompt, but inputs were still processed).

the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.
For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.
Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.
At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

KVM's live migration support included support for exec: URLs, allowing system
state to be written or received via an arbitrary popen()ed subprocess. This
provides a convenient way to pipe state through a compression algorithm or an
arbitrary network transport on its way to its destination, and a convenient way
to write state to disk; libvirt's qemu driver currently uses migration to exec:
targets for this latter purpose.
This version of the patch refactors now-common code from migrate-tcp.c into
migrate.c.

This patch introduces a tcp protocol for live migration. It can be used as
follows:
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ~/images/linux-test.img -monitor stdio
<vm runs for a while>
(qemu) migrate tcp:localhost:1025
On the same system:
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ~/images/linux-test.img -incoming
tcp:localhost:1025
The monitor can be interacted with while waiting for an incoming live
migration.

This patch introduces a command line parameter and monitor command for starting
a live migration. The next patch will provide an example of how to use these
parameters.
