Paolo Bonzini b8994faf2a rtc: implement century byte
Implement the century byte in the RTC emulation, and test that it works.
This leads to some annoying compatibility code because we need to treat
a value of 2000 for the base_year property as "use the century byte
properly" (which would be a value of 0).

The century byte will now be always-zero, rather than always-20,
for the MIPS Magnum machine whose base_year is 1980.  Commit 42fc73a
(Support epoch of 1980 in RTC emulation for MIPS Magnum, 2009-01-24)
correctly said:

    With an epoch of 1980 and a year of 2009, one could argue that [the
    century byte] should hold either 0, 1, 19 or 20.  NT 3.50 on MIPS
    does not read the century byte.

so I picked the simplest and most sensible implementation which is to
return 0 for 1980-2079, 1 for 2080-2179 and so on.

Paolo Bonzini b6db4aca20 rtc: fix overflow in mktimegm
When setting a date in 1980, Linux is actually disregarding the century
byte and setting the year to 2080.  This causes a year-2038 overflow
in mktimegm.  Fix this by doing the days-to-seconds computation in
64-bit math.

Paolo Bonzini e0fea6b1e4 qtest: implement QTEST_STOP
It is quite difficult to debug qtest test cases without extra wrapper
scripts for QEMU or similar.  This patch adds a simple environment
variable-based trigger that sends a STOP signal to the QEMU instance
under test, before attempting to connect to its QMP session.

This will block execution of the testcase and give time to attach a
debugger to the stopped QEMU process.

Paolo Bonzini 4f45056841 qemu-iotests: map underscore to dash in QMP argument names
iotests.py provides a convenience function that uses Python keyword
arguments to represent QMP command arguments.  However, almost all
QMP commands use dashes for argument names (the sole exception is
block_set_io_throttle), and dashes are not allowed in a keyword
argument name.  Hence provide automatic conversion of underscores
to dashes.

Paolo Bonzini 0c81734765 qemu-iotests: add test for pausing a streaming operation
These check that a paused streaming job does not advance its offset.

Sometimes the new test fails; the map is different between the source
and the destination of the streaming because qemu-io does not always
pack adjacent clusters that have the same allocated/unallocated state.
However, this also happens with the existing test_stream testcase, and
is better fixed in qemu-io.

1. For the following image chain, commit [mid] into [backing],
   and use qemu-io to verify [backing] has its original data, as
   well as the data from [mid]

2. Verifies that 'block-commit' with the 'speed' parameter sets the
   speed parameter, as reported by 'query-block-jobs'

3. Verifies that a bogus 'device' parameter to 'block-commit'
   results in error

4-9: Appropriate error values returned for the following argument errors:
    * top == base
    * top is nonexistent
    * base is nonexistent
    * top == active layer (this is currently not supported)
    * top and base arguments are reversed

Stefan Hajnoczi 058f8f16db block: add BLOCK_O_CHECK for qemu-img check
Image formats with a dirty bit, like qed and qcow2, repair dirty image
files upon open with BDRV_O_RDWR.  Performing automatic repair when
qemu-img check runs is not ideal because the bdrv_open() call repairs
the image before the actual bdrv_check() call from qemu-img.c.

Fix this "double repair" since it leads to confusing output from
qemu-img check.  Tell the block driver that this image is being opened
just for bdrv_check().  This skips automatic repair and qemu-img.c can
invoke it manually with bdrv_check().

Update the golden output for qemu-iotests 039 to reflect the new
qemu-img check output.

Stefan Hajnoczi bfe8043e92 qcow2: implement lazy refcounts
Lazy refcounts is a performance optimization for qcow2 that postpones
refcount metadata updates and instead marks the image dirty.  In the
case of crash or power failure the image will be left in a dirty state
and repaired next time it is opened.

Reducing metadata I/O is important for cache=writethrough and
cache=directsync because these modes guarantee that data is on disk
after each write (hence we cannot take advantage of caching updates in
RAM).  Refcount metadata is not needed for guest->file block address
translation and therefore does not need to be on-disk at the time of
write completion - this is the motivation behind the lazy refcount
optimization.

The lazy refcount optimization must be enabled at image creation time:

  qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=1.1,lazy_refcounts=on a.qcow2 10G
  qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=virtio,file=a.qcow2,cache=writethrough

Update qemu-iotests 031 and 036 since the extension header size changes
when we add feature bit table entries.

Paolo Bonzini ab68cdfaa9 qemu-iotests: fill streaming test image with data
The TestStreamStop test case is racy; if the job completes before we can
cancel it, it fails.  If we remove the sleep the job will be canceled
before it has even started, and the test succeeds but it is also not
testing anything interesting.

But if the image is left sparse, then the job has really nothing to do.
For qcow2 it will read one L2-table, for raw it will issue a bunch of
ioctls.  This also falls under "not testing anything interesting", and
this may be happening right now (depending on the filesystem) since the
file protocol got an is_allocated method.

Filling the test image with data ensures that the test covers the
intended case.  It also slows down the test, which will be particularly
important after the next patch.

Michael Roth 173bbb754f qapi: String visitor, use %f representation for floats
Currently string-output-visitor formats floats as %g, which is nice in
that trailing 0's are automatically truncated, but otherwise this causes
some issues:

 - it uses 6 significant figures instead of 6 decimal places, which
   means something like 155777.5 (which even has an exact floating point
   representation) will be rounded to 155778 when converted to a string.

 - output will be presented in scientific notation when the normalized
   form requires a 10^x multiplier. Not a huge deal, but arguably less
   readable for command-line arguments.

 - due to using scientific notation for numbers requiring more than 6
   significant figures, instead of hard-defined decimal places, it
   fails a lot of the test-visitor-serialization unit tests for floats.

Instead, let's just use %f, which is what the QJSON and the QMP visitors
use.
