c6ea9b73b1 pc,vhost,virtio fixes, test
Bugfixes all over the place.
 
 There's a  non bugfix here: re-enabling the vhost-user test,
 though the patch just brings back functionality that
 I disabled earlier to fix mingw build failures.
 This is now sorted, and keeping the unit test enabled
 seems important since the feature relies on an external
 server to work, so isn't easy to test.

f4eb32b590 qmp: show QOM properties in device-list-properties
Devices can use a mix of qdev and QOM properties.  Currently only the
qdev properties are displayed by device-list-properties.

This patch extends the property enumeration algorithm to also display
QOM properties (excluding the implicit "type", "realized",
"hotpluggable", and "parent_bus" properties).

When a qdev property exists, use the qdev type name to preserve
backwards compatibility.  QOM type names can be different for bool (qdev
on/off) and str (used by qdev pointers).

dd67c1d7e7 dataplane: submit I/O as a batch
Before commit 580b6b2aa2(dataplane: use the QEMU block
layer for I/O), dataplane for virtio-blk submits block
I/O as a batch.

This commit 580b6b2aa2 replaces the custom linux AIO
implementation(including submit I/O as a batch) with QEMU
block layer, but this commit causes ~40% throughput regression
on virtio-blk performance, and removing submitting I/O
as a batch is one of the causes.

This patch applies the newly introduced bdrv_io_plug() and
bdrv_io_unplug() interfaces to support submitting I/O
at batch for Qemu block layer, and in my test, the change
can improve throughput by ~30% with 'aio=native'.

Following my fio test script:

	[global]
	direct=1
	size=4G
	bsrange=4k-4k
	timeout=40
	numjobs=4
	ioengine=libaio
	iodepth=64
	filename=/dev/vdc
	group_reporting=1

	[f]
	rw=randread

Result on one of my small machine(host: x86_64, 2cores, 4thread, guest: 4cores):
	- qemu master: 65K IOPS
	- qemu master with these patches: 92K IOPS
	- 2.0.0 release(dataplane using custom linux aio): 104K IOPS

In map_page() in hw/ide/ahci.c, replace cpu_physical_memory_map() and
cpu_physical_memory_unmap() with dma_memory_map() and dma_memory_unmap(),
because ahci devices should not access memory directly but via their address
space. Add an AddressSpace parameter to map_page(). In order to call
map_page(), we should pass the AHCIState.as as the AddressSpace argument.

d02f8adc6d ahci.c: mask unused flags when reading size PRDT DBC
The data byte count(DBC) read from the description information is defined for
bits 21:00. Bits 30:22 are reserved and bit 31 is the Interrupt on Completion
(I) flag.

Completion interrupts are triggered after every transaction instead of on
I-flag in QEMU. tbl_entry_size is a signed integer and improperly reading the
DBC leads to a negative offset that causes sglist allocation to fail.

5a0f6fd5c8 mirror: Fix qiov size for short requests
When mirroring an image of a size that is not a multiple of the
mirror job granularity, the last request would have the right nb_sectors
argument, but a qiov that is rounded up to the next multiple of the
granularity. Don't do this.

This fixes a segfault that is caused by raw-posix being confused by this
and allocating a buffer with request length, but operating on it with
qiov length.

8b81bb3b06 virtio-pci: fix MSI memory region use after free
After memory region QOMification QEMU is stricter in detecting
wrong usage of the memory region API.  Here it detected a
memory_region_destroy done before the corresponding
memory_region_del_subregion; the memory_region_destroy is
done by msix_uninit_exclusive_bar, the memory_region_del_subregion
is done by the PCI core's pci_unregister_io_regions before
pc->exit is called.

The problem was introduced by
commit 06a1307379
    virtio-pci: add device_unplugged callback
As noted in that commit log, virtio device kick callbacks need to be
stopped before generic virtio is cleaned up. This is because these are
notifications from pci proxy to the generic virtio device so they need
to be stopped in the unplug call before the virtio device is unrealized.
However interrupts are notifications from the virtio device to
the pci proxy so they need to stay around while the device
is realized.

The memory API misuse caused an assertion when hot-unplugging virtio
devices.  Using the API correctly fixes the assertion.

812c1057f6 Handle G_IO_HUP in tcp_chr_read for tcp chardev
Since commit cdaa86a54b
("Add G_IO_HUP handler for socket chardev")
GLib limitation results in a bug on Windows host. Steps to reproduce:

Start qemu: qemu-system-i386 -qmp tcp:127.0.0.1:4444:server:nowait
Connect with telnet: telnet 127.0.0.1 4444
Try sending some data from telnet.
Expected result: answers from QEMU.
Observed result: no answers (actually tcp_chr_read is not called at all).

Due to GLib limitations it is not possible to create several watches on one
channel on Windows hosts. See bug #338943 in GNOME bugzilla for details:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338943

This reimplements commit cdaa86a54b
("Add G_IO_HUP handler for socket chardev") using a single watch:

Handle G_IO_HUP in tcp_chr_read instead. It is already watched by a
corresponding watch.  Remove the second watch with its handler.

The two common virtio features can be defined per bus, so move all
into bus class device to make code more clean.

As discussed with cornelia, s390-virtio-blk doesn't support
the two features at all, so keep s390-virtio as it.

bea60dd767 ui/vnc: fix potential memory corruption issues
this patch makes the VNC server work correctly if the
server surface and the guest surface have different sizes.

Basically the server surface is adjusted to not exceed VNC_MAX_WIDTH
x VNC_MAX_HEIGHT and additionally the width is rounded up to multiple of
VNC_DIRTY_PIXELS_PER_BIT.

If we have a resolution whose width is not dividable by VNC_DIRTY_PIXELS_PER_BIT
we now get a small black bar on the right of the screen.

If the surface is too big to fit the limits only the upper left area is shown.

On top of that this fixes 2 memory corruption issues:

The first was actually discovered during playing
around with a Windows 7 vServer. During resolution
change in Windows 7 it happens sometimes that Windows
changes to an intermediate resolution where
server_stride % cmp_bytes != 0 (in vnc_refresh_server_surface).
This happens only if width % VNC_DIRTY_PIXELS_PER_BIT != 0.

The second is a theoretical issue, but is maybe exploitable
by the guest. If for some reason the guest surface size is bigger
than VNC_MAX_WIDTH x VNC_MAX_HEIGHT we end up in severe corruption since
this limit is nowhere enforced.

currently a malicious client could define a payload
size of 2^32 - 1 bytes and send up to that size of
data to the vnc server. The server would allocated
that amount of memory which could easily create an
out of memory condition.

This patch limits the payload size to 1MB max.

Please note that client_cut_text messages are currently
silently ignored.

bc78cff975 trace: add qemu_system_powerdown_request and qemu_system_shutdown_request trace events
We have the experience that the guest doesn't stop successfully
though it was instructed to shut down.

The root cause may be not in QEMU mostly.  However, QEMU is often
suspected at the beginning just because the issue occurred in
virtualization environment.

Therefore, we need to affirm that QEMU received the shutdown
request and raised ACPI irq from "virsh shutdown" command,
virt-manger or stopping QEMU process to the VM .
So that we can affirm the problems was belonged to the Guset OS
rather than the QEMU itself.

When we stop guests by "virsh shutdown" command or virt-manger,
or stopping QEMU process, qemu_system_powerdown_request() or
qemu_system_shutdown_request() is called. Then the below functions
in main_loop_should_exit() of Vl.c are called roughly in the
following order.

	if (qemu_powerdown_requested())
		qemu_system_powerdown()
			monitor_protocol_event(QEVENT_POWERDOWN, NULL)

	OR

	if(qemu_shutdown_requested()}
		monitor_protocol_event(QEVENT_SHUTDOWN, NULL);

The tracepoint of monitor_protocol_event() already exists, but no
tracepoints are defined for qemu_system_powerdown_request() and
qemu_system_shutdown_request(). So this patch adds two tracepoints for
the two functions. We believe that it will become much easier to
isolate the problem mentioned above by these tracepoints.

13d8cc515d block: add backing-file option to block-stream
On some image chains, QEMU may not always be able to resolve the
filenames properly, when updating the backing file of an image
after a block job.

For instance, certain relative pathnames may fail, or drives may
have been specified originally by file descriptor (e.g. /dev/fd/???),
or a relative protocol pathname may have been used.

In these instances, QEMU may lack the information to be able to make
the correct choice, but the user or management layer most likely does
have that knowledge.

With this extension to the block-stream api, the user is able to change
the backing file of the active layer as part of the block-stream
operation.

This allows the change to be 'safe', in the sense that if the attempt
to write the active image metadata fails, then the block-stream
operation returns failure, without disrupting the guest.

If a backing file string is not specified in the command, the backing
