aliguori 1b8fc8115c Do not enable a default virtio console
This upsets Windows installs and right now, virtio console isn't very useful
as a default device.

aliguori 6f338c3469 qemu: PCI device, disk and host network hot-add / hot-remove (Marcelo Tosatti)
Add monitor command to hot-add PCI devices (nic and storage).
    
Syntax is:
    
pci_add pci_addr=[[<domain>:]<bus>:]<slot> nic|storage params
    
It returns the domain, bus and slot for the newly added device on success.
    
It is possible to attach a disk to a device after PCI initialization via
the drive_add command. If so, a manual scan of the SCSI bus on the guest
is necessary.
    
Save QEMUMachine necessary for drive_init.
    
Add monitor command to hot-remove devices, remove device data on _EJ0 notification.

ignore    - continue as if nothing happened
stop      - stop VM on any error and retry last command on resume
enospc    - stop vm on ENOSPC error and retry last command on resume
            all other errors are reported to a guest.

aliguori 2796dae08a Fix character devices after DisplayState refactoring
The DisplayState refactoring changed the machine init function to create a
DisplayState for each VGA device instead of being passed an existing
DisplayState.  This change is critical to enable multiple graphics device
support.

Unfortunately, the serial/parallel/console code is structured today to run
before machine init to fill out the CharDriverState table which the machine
init function uses to determine whether to create the required devices.

Since a 'vc' is a type of CharDriverState, the CharDriverState code requires
that a DisplayState exist before it runs creating a circular dependency.

To fix this, this splits the creation of the initial CharDriverState from
the initialization of the text console.  We can then in a second step associate
a DisplayState with all TextConsoles.  This allows us to create the
CharDriverState's first, machine init, then associate the TextConsoles with
a DisplayState.

This code screams for more cleanup.

aliguori 3023f3329d graphical_console_init change (Stefano Stabellini)
Patch 5/7

This patch changes the graphical_console_init function to return an
allocated DisplayState instead of a QEMUConsole.

This patch contains just the graphical_console_init change and few other
modifications mainly in console.c and vl.c.
It was necessary to move the display frontends (e.g. sdl and vnc)
initialization after machine->init in vl.c.

This patch does *not* include any required changes to any device, these
changes come with the following patches.

Patch 6/7

This patch changes the QEMUMachine init functions not to take a
DisplayState as an argument because is not needed any more;

In few places the graphic hardware initialization function was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now they are always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.

Patch 7/7

This patch updates the graphic device code to use the new
graphical_console_init function.

As for the previous patch, in few places graphical_console_init was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now it is always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.

aliguori 7d957bd8cb DisplayState interface change (Stefano Stabellini)
This patch changes the DisplayState interface adding support for
multiple frontends at the same time (sdl and vnc) and implements most
of the benefit of the shared_buf patch without the added complexity.

Currently DisplayState is managed by sdl (or vnc) and sdl (or vnc) is
also responsible for allocating the data and setting the depth.
Vga.c (or another backend) will do any necessary conversion.

The idea is to change it so that is vga.c (or another backend) together
with console.c that fully manage the DisplayState interface allocating
data and setting the depth (either 16 or 32 bit, if the guest uses a
different resolution or is in text mode, vga.c (or another backend) is
in charge of doing the conversion seamlessly).

The other idea is that DisplayState supports *multiple* frontends
like sdl and vnc; each of them can register some callbacks to be called
when a display event occurs.

The interesting changes are:

- the new structures and related functions in console.h and console.c

in particular the following functions are very helpful to manage a
DisplaySurface:

qemu_create_displaysurface
qemu_resize_displaysurface
qemu_create_displaysurface_from
qemu_free_displaysurface

- console_select and qemu_console_resize in console.c
this two functions manage multiple consoles on a single host display

- moving code around in hw/vga.c
as for the shared_buf patch this is necessary to be able to handle a dynamic
DisplaySurface bpp

- changes to vga_draw_graphic in hw/vga.c
this is the place where the DisplaySurface buffer is shared with the
videoram, when possible;


Compared to the last version the only changes are:

- do not remove support to dpy_copy in cirrus_vga
- change the name of the displaysurface handling functions

After my last patch to fix interrupt coalescing was rejected
on the basis that it is too intrusive we decided to make the
fix much more localized and only fix the problem for RTC time
source. Unfortunately it is impossible to fix the problem entirely
inside RTC code like Andrzej proposed since Windows reads RTC
register C more then once on each time interrupt so it is impossible
to count reliably how many interrupt windows actually handled.
Proposed solution is localized to I386 target and is disabled by
default. To enable it "-rtc-td-hack" flag should be used.

aliguori f5d6f51ba6 kvm: sync vcpu state during initialization (Hollis Blanchard)
Currently on x86, qemu initializes CPUState but KVM ignores it and does its
own vcpu initialization. However, PowerPC KVM needs to be able to set the
initial register state to support the -kernel and -append options.

aliguori 4dc822d726 Use writeback caching by default with qcow2
qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update.  This causes
performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback.  This is most
noticeable when using savevm.  Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format
regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in
the correct order.  Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use
writeback caching by default with qcow2 files.

It at least avoids the massive performance regression for users until we sort
out the issues in qcow2.

aliguori df751fa8bf Add ballooning infrastructure.
Balloon devices allow you to ask the guest to allocate memory.  This allows you
to release that memory.  It's mostly useful for freeing up large chunks of
memory from cooperative guests.

Ballooning is supported by both Xen and VirtIO.

aliguori 6e02c38dad Add virtio-blk support
Virtio-blk is a paravirtual block device based on VirtIO.  It can be used by
specifying the if=virtio parameter to the -drive parameter.

When using -enable-kvm, it can achieve very good performance compared to IDE or
SCSI.

aliguori 357c692cca Revert r5636 to fix icount on hosts w/o high-res clocks
Changeset r5636 changed the timers to run in the alarm callback.  The 
alarm callback can only be called as frequently as the host alarm timer 
fires.  For older Linux hosts and possibly non-Linux hosts, this can be 
as high as a 1ms granularity.

icount calculates the select timeout based on the next deadline and 
select is usually capable of sleeping for a short period of time than 
alarm timer granularity.  This means that changing the timer callbacks 
to be based on alarm firing caused timers to fire much later than they 
ought to when using icount.

aliguori 880a757838 gdbstub: manage CPUs as threads (Jan Kiszka)
This patch enhances QEMU's built-in debugger for SMP guest debugging.
Using the thread support of the gdb remote protocol, each VCPU is mapped
on a pseudo thread and exposed to the gdb frontend. This way you can
easy switch the focus of gdb between the VCPUs and observe their states.
On breakpoint hit, the focus is automatically adjusted just as for
normal multi-threaded application under gdb control.

Furthermore, the patch propagates breakpoint and watchpoint insertions
or removals to all CPUs, not just the current one as it was the case so
far. Without this, SMP guest debugging was practically unfeasible.

aliguori 065e281356 Reintroduce migrate-to-exec: support (Charles Duffy)
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.
