268430be5e vl:c: make sure that sockets are calculated correctly in '-smp X' case
commit
  (5cdc9b76e3 vl.c: Remove dead assignment)
removed sockets calculation when 'sockets' weren't provided on CLI
since there wasn't any users for it back then. Exiting checks
are neither reachable
   } else if (sockets * cores * threads < cpus) {
or nor triggerable
   if (sockets * cores * threads > max_cpus)
so we weren't noticing wrong topology since then, since users
recalculate sockets adhoc on their own.

However with deprecation check it becomes noticable, for example
  -smp 2
will start printing warning:
  "warning: Invalid CPU topology deprecated: sockets (1) * cores (1) * threads (1) != maxcpus (2)"
calculating sockets if they weren't specified.

Fix it by returning back sockets calculation if it's omitted on CLI.

bc1fb850a3 vl.c deprecate incorrect CPUs topology
-smp [cpus],sockets/cores/threads[,maxcpus] should describe topology
so that total number of logical CPUs [sockets * cores * threads]
would be equal to [maxcpus], however historically we didn't have
such check in QEMU and it is possible to start VM with an invalid
topology.
Deprecate invalid options combination so we can make sure that
the topology VM started with is always correct in the future.
Users with an invalid sockets/cores/threads/maxcpus values should
fix their CLI to make sure that
   [sockets * cores * threads] == [maxcpus]

c4f26c9f37 blockdev: Convert drive_new() to Error
Calling error_report() from within a function that takes an Error **

it can run within drive_init_func(), which takes an Error ** argument.
drive_init_func()'s caller main(), via qemu_opts_foreach(), is fine
with it, but clean it up anyway:

* Convert drive_new() to Error

* Update add_init_drive() to report the error received from
  drive_new()

* Make main() pass &error_fatal through qemu_opts_foreach(),
  drive_init_func() to drive_new()

* Make default_drive() pass &error_abort through qemu_opts_foreach(),
  drive_init_func() to drive_new()

95e30b2a13 chardev: mark the calls that allow an implicit mux monitor
This is mostly for readability of the code. Let's make it clear which
callers can create an implicit monitor when the chardev is muxed.

This will also enforce a safer behaviour, as we don't really support
creating monitor anywhere/anytime at the moment. Add an assert() to
make sure the programmer explicitely wanted that behaviour.

There are documented cases, such as: -serial/-parallel/-virtioconsole
and to less extent -debugcon.

Less obvious and questionable ones are -gdb, SLIRP -guestfwd and Xen
console. Add a FIXME note for those, but keep the support for now.

Other qemu_chr_new() callers either have a fixed parameter/filename
string or do not need it, such as -qtest:

* qtest.c: qtest_init()
  Afaik, only used by tests/libqtest.c, without mux. I don't think we
  support it outside of qemu testing: drop support for implicit mux
  monitor (qemu_chr_new() call: no implicit mux now).

* hw/
  All with literal @filename argument that doesn't enable mux monitor.

* tests/
  All with @filename argument that doesn't enable mux monitor.

On a related note, the list of monitor creation places:

- the chardev creators listed above: all from command line (except
  perhaps Xen console?)

- -gdb & hmp gdbserver will create a "GDB monitor command" chardev
  that is wired to an HMP monitor.

- -mon command line option

From this short study, I would like to think that a monitor may only
be created in the main thread today, though I remain skeptical :)

90a84d131c Delete PID file on exit
Register an exit notifier to remove the PID file. By the time atexit()
is called, qemu_write_pidfile() guarantees QEMU owns the PID file,
thus we could safely remove it when exiting.

9e6bdef224 util: add qemu_write_pidfile()
There are variants of qemu_create_pidfile() in qemu-pr-helper and
qemu-ga. Let's have a common implementation in libqemuutil.

The code is initially based from pr-helper write_pidfile(), with
various improvements and suggestions from Daniel Berrangé:

  QEMU will leave the pidfile existing on disk when it exits which
  initially made me think it avoids the deletion race. The app
  managing QEMU, however, may well delete the pidfile after it has
  seen QEMU exit, and even if the app locks the pidfile before
  deleting it, there is still a race.

  eg consider the following sequence

        QEMU 1        libvirtd        QEMU 2

  1.    lock(pidfile)

  2.    exit()

  3.                 open(pidfile)

  4.                 lock(pidfile)

  5.                                  open(pidfile)

  6.                 unlink(pidfile)

  7.                 close(pidfile)

  8.                                  lock(pidfile)

  IOW, at step 8 the new QEMU has successfully acquired the lock, but
  the pidfile no longer exists on disk because it was deleted after
  the original QEMU exited.

  While we could just say no external app should ever delete the
  pidfile, I don't think that is satisfactory as people don't read
  docs, and admins don't like stale pidfiles being left around on
  disk.

  To make this robust, I think we might want to copy libvirt's
  approach to pidfile acquisition which runs in a loop and checks that
  the file on disk /after/ acquiring the lock matches the file that
  was locked. Then we could in fact safely let QEMU delete its own
  pidfiles on clean exit..

76ed4b18de s390/ipl: fix ipl with -no-reboot
kexec/kdump as well as the bootloader use a subcode of diagnose 308
that is supposed to reset the I/O subsystem but not comprise a full
"reboot". With the latest refactoring this is now broken when
-no-reboot is used or when libvirt acts on a reboot QMP event, for
example a virt-install from iso images.

We need to mark these "subsystem resets" as special.

Fixes: a30fb811cb (s390x: refactor reset/reipl handling)

6f131f13e6 kvm: support -overcommit cpu-pm=on|off
With this flag, kvm allows guest to control host CPU power state.  This
increases latency for other processes using same host CPU in an
unpredictable way, but if decreases idle entry/exit times for the
running VCPU, so to use it QEMU needs a hint about whether host CPU is
overcommitted, hence the flag name.

Follow-up patches will expose this capability to guest
(using mwait leaf).

Based on a patch by Wanpeng Li <kernellwp@gmail.com> .

c44df2ff9b Deprecate the -enable-hax option
We currently have got three ways of turning on the HAX accelerator:
"-machine accel=hax", "-accel hax" and "-enable-hax". That's really
confusing and overloaded. Since "-accel" is our preferred way to enable
an accelerator nowadays, and "-accel hax" is even less to type than
"-enable-hax", let's deprecate the "-enable-hax" option now.

Note: While "-enable-kvm" is available since a long time and can hardly be
removed since it is used in a lot of upper layer tools and scripts, the
"-enable-hax" option is still rather new and not very widespread yet, so
I think that it should be OK if we remove this in a couple of releases again
(we'll see whether someone complains after seeing the deprecation message -
then we could still reconsider to keep it if there a well-founded reasons).

08fe68244e hw/i386: Deprecate the machine types pc-0.10 and pc-0.11
The oldest machine type which is still used in a still maintained distro
is a pc-0.12 based machine type in RHEL6, so everything that is older
than pc-0.12 should not be used anymore. Thus let's deprecate pc-0.10
and pc-0.11 so that we can finally remove them in a future release.
