Currently, any captured output (via `capture-output`) is segregated into
separate GuestExecStatus fields (`out-data` and `err-data`). This means
that downstream consumers have no way to reassemble the captured data
back into the original stream.
This is relevant for chatty and semi-interactive (ie. read only) CLI
tools. Such tools may deliberately interleave stdout and stderr for
visual effect. If segregated, the output becomes harder to visually
understand.
This commit adds a new enum variant to the GuestExecCaptureOutputMode
qapi to merge the output streams such that consumers can have a pristine
view of the original command output.

Previously capture-output was an optional boolean flag that either
captured all output or captured none. While this is OK in most cases, it
lacks flexibility for more advanced capture cases, such as wanting to
only capture stdout.
This commits refactors guest-exec qapi to take an enum for capture mode
instead while preserving backwards compatibility.

Note that as a side effect, this also performs a cleanup of two minor

new = g_malloc0(sizeof(*ret));
which 1) is confusing because you have to verify whether 'new' and

clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type
pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a
compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file
that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file:
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make
../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid)
Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is
used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h
and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and
searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.
This patch was generated using:
$ git grep -h -o '\<atomic\(64\)\?_[a-z0-9_]\+' include/qemu/atomic.h | \

The QEMU guest agent protocol is not sensible way to access huge
files inside the guest. It requires the inefficient process of
reading the entire data into memory than duplicating it again in
base64 format, and then copying it again in the JSON serializer /

For arbitrary general purpose file access, especially for large

device, not the QEMU guest agent.

Debian (Stretch): 2.50.3
Debian (Jessie): 2.42.1
OpenBSD (Ports): 2.54.3
FreeBSD (Ports): 2.50.3
OpenSUSE Leap 15: 2.54.3
SLE12-SP2: 2.48.2
Ubuntu (Xenial): 2.48.0
macOS (Homebrew): 2.56.0
This suggests that a minimum glib of 2.42 is a reasonable target.
The GLibC compile farm, however, uses Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) which only
has glib 2.40.0, and this is needed for testing during merge. Thus an
exception is made to the documented platform support policy to allow for
all three current LTS releases to be supported.

guest-sync leaves it as an exercise to the user as to how to reliably
obtain the response to guest-sync if the client had previously read in a
partial response (due qemu-ga previously being restarted mid-"sentence"
due to reboot, forced restart, etc).
qemu-ga handles this situation on its end by having a client precede
their guest-sync request with a 0xFF byte (invalid UTF-8), which
qemu-ga/QEMU JSON parsers will treat as a flush event. Thus we can
reliably flush the qemu-ga parser state in preparation for receiving
the guest-sync request.
guest-sync-delimited provides the same functionality for a client: when
a guest-sync-delimited is issued, qemu-ga will precede it's response
with a 0xFF byte that the client can use as an indicator to flush its
buffer/parser state in preparation for reliably receiving the
guest-sync-delimited response.
It is also useful as an optimization for clients, since, after issuing a
guest-sync-delimited, clients can safely discard all stale data read
from the channel until the 0xFF is found.

Many of the current RPC implementations are very much POSIX-specific
and require complete re-writes for Windows. There are however a small
set of core guest agent commands that are common to both, and other
commands such as guest-file-* which *may* be portable. So we introduce
commands.c for the latter, and will rename guest-agent-commands.c to
commands-posix.c in a future commit. Windows implementations will go in
commands-win32.c, eventually.
