They are deprecated since QEMU v2.10, and so far nobody complained that
these commands are still necessary for any reason - and since you can use
'netdev_add' and 'netdev_remove' instead, there also should not be any
real reason. Since they are also standing in the way for the upcoming
'vlan' clean-up, it's now time to remove them.

It does not make much sense to limit these commands to the legacy 'vlan'
concept only, they should work with the modern netdevs, too. So now
it is possible to use this command with one, two or three parameters.
With one parameter, the command installs a hostfwd rule on the default
"user" network:
hostfwd_add tcp:...
With two parameters, the command installs a hostfwd rule on a netdev
(that's the new way of using this command):
hostfwd_add netdev_id tcp:...
With three parameters, the command installs a rule on a 'vlan' (aka hub):
hostfwd_add hub_id name tcp:...
Same applies to the hostfwd_remove command now.

The idea is simple - backup is "written-once" data. It is written block
by block and it is large enough. It would be nice to save storage
space and compress it.
The patch adds a flag to the qmp/hmp drive-backup command which enables
block compression. Compression should be implemented in the format driver
to enable this feature.
There are some limitations of the format driver to allow compressed writes.
We can write data only once. Though for backup this is perfectly fine.
These limitations are maintained by the driver and the error will be
reported if we are doing something wrong.

Define two new migration parameters to be used with TLS encryption.
The 'tls-creds' parameter provides the ID of an instance of the
'tls-creds' object type, or rather a subclass such as 'tls-creds-x509'.
Providing these credentials will enable use of TLS on the migration
data stream.
If using x509 certificates, together with a migration URI that does
not include a hostname, the 'tls-hostname' parameter provides the
hostname to use when verifying the server's x509 certificate. This
allows TLS to be used in combination with fd: and exec: protocols
where a TCP connection is established by a 3rd party outside of
QEMU.
NB, this requires changing the migrate_set_parameter method in the
HMP to accept a 's' (string) value instead of 'i' (integer). This
is backwards compatible, because the parsing of strings allows the
quotes to be optional, thus any integer is also a valid string.

This patch adds an option to the drive_add HMP command to create only a
BlockDriverState without a BlockBackend on top.
The motivation for this is that libvirt needs to specify options to a
migration target (specifically, detect-zeroes). drive-mirror doesn't
allow specifying options, and the proper way to do this is to create the
target BDS separately with blockdev-add (where you can specify options)
and then use blockdev-mirror to that BDS.
However, libvirt can't use blockdev-add as long as it is still
experimental, and we're expecting that it will still take some time, so
we need to resort to drive_add.
The problem with drive_add is that so far it always created a BB, and
BDSes with a BB can't be used as a mirroring target as long as we don't
support multiple BBs per BDS - and while we're working towards that
goal, it's another thing that will still take some time.
So to achieve the goal, the simplest solution to provide the
functionality now without adding one-off options to the mirror QMP
commands is to extend drive_add to create nodes without BBs.

All QMP commands use the "new" handler interface (mhandler.cmd_new).
Most HMP commands still use the traditional interface (mhandler.cmd),
but a few use the "new" one. Complicates handle_user_command() for no
gain, so I'm converting these to the traditional interface.
pcie_aer_inject_error's implementation is split into the
hmp_pcie_aer_inject_error() and pcie_aer_inject_error_print(). The
former is a peculiar crossbreed between HMP and QMP handler. On
success, it works like a QMP handler: store QDict through ret_data
parameter, return 0. Printing the QDict is left to
pcie_aer_inject_error_print(). On failure, it works more like an HMP
handler: print error to monitor, return negative number.
To convert to the traditional interface, turn
pcie_aer_inject_error_print() into a command handler wrapping around
hmp_pcie_aer_inject_error(). By convention, this command handler
should be called hmp_pcie_aer_inject_error(), so rename the existing
hmp_pcie_aer_inject_error() to do_pcie_aer_inject_error().

but a few use the "new" one. Complicates handle_user_command() for no
gain, so I'm converting these to the traditional interface.
For drive_del, that's easy: hmp_drive_del() sheds its unused last
parameter, and its return value, which the caller ignored anyway.

Live migration with spice works like this today:
(1) client_migrate_info monitor cmd
(2) spice server notifies client, client connects to target host.
(3) qemu waits until spice client connect is finished.
(4) send over vmstate (i.e. main part of live migration).
(5) spice handover to target host.
(3) is implemented by making client_migrate_info a async monitor
command. This is the only async monitor command we have.
The original reason to implement this dance was that qemu did not accept
new tcp connections while the incoming migration was running, so (2) and
(4) could not be done in parallel. That issue was fixed long ago though.
Qemu version 1.3.0 (released Dec 2012) and newer happily accept tcp
connects while the incoming migration runs.
Time to drop step (3). This patch does exactly that, by making the
monitor command synchronous and removing the code needed to handle the
async monitor command in ui/spice-core.c

The command handler is a union of two function types. If
cmd->user_print is set, handle_user_command() calls
cmd->mhandler.cmd_new(), else cmd->mhandler.cmd().
Command definitions must therefore either set both user_print() and
mhandler.cmd_new(), or only mhandler.cmd().
quit's sets user_print and mhandler.cmd(). handle_user_command()
calls hmp_quit() through mhandler.cmd_new() rather than
mhandler.cmd(), i.e. through a function pointer with a different type.
Broken in commit 7a7f325, v1.0.
Works in practice because hmp_quit() doesn't use its arguments, and
handle_user_command() ignores its function value.

have sockets (akita, borzoi, connex, mainstone, spitz, terrier, tosa,

So this command doesn't really tell anybody anything new so far.
Moreover, pcmcia_socket_unregister() has a use-after-free bug, flagged

This introduces an NMI (Non Maskable Interrupt) interface with
a single nmi_monitor_handler() method. A machine or a device can
implement it. This searches for an QOM object with this interface
and if it is implemented, calls it. The callback implements an action
required to cause debug crash dump on in-kernel debugger invocation.
The callback returns Error**.
This adds a nmi_monitor_handle() helper which walks through
all objects to find the interface. The interface method is called
for all found instances.
This adds support for it in qmp_inject_nmi(). Since no architecture
supports it at the moment, there is no change in behaviour.
This changes inject-nmi command description for HMP and QMP.

This patch adds support for a network backend based on netmap.
netmap is a framework for high speed packet I/O. You can use it
to build extremely fast traffic generators, monitors, software
switches or network middleboxes. Its companion software switch
VALE lets you interconnect virtual machines.
netmap and VALE are implemented as a non-intrusive kernel module,
support NICs from multiple vendors, are part of standard FreeBSD
distributions and available in source format for Linux too.
To compile QEMU with netmap support, use the following configure
options:
./configure [...] --enable-netmap --extra-cflags=-I/path/to/netmap/sys
where "/path/to/netmap" contains the netmap source code, available at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/

There is the 'nmi' command that is used to trigger a guest dump via kdump feature on x86.
s390 uses RESTART interrupt to trigger kdump.
So, this patch provides a mean to use 'nmi' command on s390 to raise RESTART interrupt.
The CPU to receive the RESTART interrupt is the "default" one.
There is an infrastructure to select the "default" CPU using 'cpu' command.
The 'info cpus' command can be used to see which one is the "default".
In order to wire up the RESTART to 'nmi' command we had to:
1. implement the kvm_s390_cpu_restart function by exporting the existing code
2. implement s390_cpu_restart function as kvm-aware wrapper
3. modify the qmp_inject_nmi function to enable (for s390) the scan for
"default" CPU and call s390_cpu_restart for it;
3. fix some messages.

pci-hotplug.c and the CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG variable which controls its

rather about the pci_add/pci_del interface which are now deprecated in
favour of the more general device_add/device_del interface. This patch
therefore renames them to pci-hotplug-old.c and CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG_OLD.
CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG=y was listed twice in {i386,x86_64}-softmmu.make for no
particular reason, so we clean that up too. In addition it was included in
ppc64-softmmu.mak for which the old hotplug interface was never used and is
unsuitable, so we remove that too.
Most of pci-hotplug.c was additionaly protected by #ifdef TARGET_I386. The
small piece which wasn't is only called from the pci_add and pci_del hooks
in hmp-commands.hx, which themselves were protected by #ifdef TARGET_I386.

This patch adds support for TPM command line options.
The command line options supported here are
./qemu-... -tpmdev passthrough,path=<path to TPM device>,id=<id>
-device tpm-tis,tpmdev=<id>,id=<other id>
and
./qemu-... -tpmdev help
where the latter works similar to -soundhw help and shows a list of
available TPM backends (for example 'passthrough').
Using the type parameter, the backend is chosen, i.e., 'passthrough' for the
passthrough driver. The interpretation of the other parameters along
with determining whether enough parameters were provided is pushed into
the backend driver, which needs to implement the interface function
'create' and return a TPMDriverOpts structure if the VM can be started or
'NULL' if not enough or bad parameters were provided.
Monitor support for 'info tpm' has been added. It for example prints the
following:
(qemu) info tpm

Switch the default for qemu_log logging output from "/tmp/qemu.log"
to stderr. This is an incompatible change in some sense, but logging
is mostly used for debugging purposes so it shouldn't affect production
use. The previous behaviour can be obtained by adding "-D /tmp/qemu.log"
to the command line.
This change requires us to:
* update all the documentation/help text (we take the opportunity
to smooth out minor inconsistencies between the phrasing in
linux-user/bsd-user/system help messages)
* make linux-user and bsd-user defer to qemu-log for the default
logging destination rather than overriding it themselves
* ensure that all logfile closing is done via qemu_log_close()
and that that function doesn't close stderr
as well as the obvious change to the behaviour of do_qemu_set_log()

New device, has never been released, so we can still improve things
without worrying about compatibility.
Naming is a mess. The code calls the device driver CirMemCharDriver,
the public API calls it "memory", "memchardev", or "memchar", and the
special commands are named like "memchar-FOO". "memory" is a
particularly unfortunate choice, because there's another character
device driver called MemoryDriver. Moreover, the device's distinctive
property is that it's a ring buffer, not that's in memory. Therefore:
* Rename CirMemCharDriver to RingBufCharDriver, and call the thing a
"ringbuf" in the API.
* Rename QMP and HMP commands from memchar-FOO to ringbuf-FOO.
* Rename device parameter from maxcapacity to size (simple words are
good for you).
* Clearly mark the parameter as optional in documentation.
* Fix error reporting so that chardev-add reports to current monitor,
not stderr.
* Replace cirmem in C identifiers by ringbuf.
* Rework documentation. Document the impact of our crappy UTF-8
handling on reading.
* QMP examples that even work.
