lirans@il.ibm.com c163b5cae9 Block live migration
This patch introduces block migration called during live migration. Block
are being copied to the destination in an async way. First the code will
transfer the whole disk and then transfer all dirty blocks accumulted during
the migration.
Still need to improve transition from the iterative phase of migration to the
end phase. For now transition will take place when all blocks transfered once,
all the dirty blocks will be transfered during the end phase (guest is
suspended).

Changes from v4:
- Global variabels moved to a global state structure allocated dynamically.
- Minor coding style issues.
- Poll block.c for tracking of dirty blocks instead of manage it here.

Paolo Bonzini 7f79dd281c unify popen/fopen qemu wrappers
While reading Chris's code for fd migration I noticed the duplication
between QEMUFilePopen and QEMUFileStdio.  This fixes it, and makes
qemu_fopen more similar qemu_popen.

Chris Lalancette 9075000958 Fix detached migration with exec.
When trying to do detached migration with exec, I found that
the monitor wouldn't always return in a timely manner.  I
tracked this down to exec_start_outgoing_migration.  It
appeared we were setting the fd to NONBLOCK'ing, but in
point of fact we weren't.

This bugfix should also go onto the stable 0.10 branch

Paolo Bonzini d399f67704 fix migration to obey -S
Since migration returns right away, starting the VM right
after calling qemu_start_incoming_migration is wrong even
if -S is not passed.  We have to do this after migration
has completed.

Paolo Bonzini 89befdd1a6 honor -S on incoming migration
-S is not honored by qemu on incoming migration.  If a domain is migrated
while paused, thus, it will start running on the remote machine; this
is wrong.

Given the trivial patch to fix this, it looks more like a thinko
than anything else, probably dating back to the qemu-kvm merge.
The interesting part is that the -S mechanism was in fact *used* when
migrating (setting autostart = 0) and the incoming migration code was
starting the VM at the end of the migration.

Since I was removing the vm_start from there, I also corrected a related
imprecision.  The code was doing a vm_stop "just in case", but we can
be sure that the VM is not running---the vm_start call in vl.c has not
been reached yet.  So the vm_stop is removed together with the vm_start.

Chris Lalancette 8a43b1ea7f Allow monitor interaction when using migrate -exec
All,
     I've recently been playing around with migration via exec.  Unfortunately,
when starting the incoming qemu process with "-incoming exec:cmd", it suffers
the same problem that -incoming tcp used to suffer; namely, that you can't
interact with the monitor until after the migration has happened.  This causes
problems for libvirt usage of -incoming exec, since libvirt expects to be able
to access the monitor ahead of time.  This fairly simple patch allows you to
access the monitor both before and after the migration has completed using exec.

(note: developed/tested with qemu-kvm, but applies perfectly fine to qemu)

aliguori 731b03642d monitor: Decouple terminals (Jan Kiszka)
Currently all registered (and activate) monitor terminals work in
broadcast mode: Everyone sees what someone else types on some other
terminal and what the monitor reports back. This model is broken when
you have a management monitor terminal that is automatically operated
and some other terminal used for independent guest inspection. Such
additional terminals can be multiplexed device channels or a gdb
frontend connected to QEMU's stub.

Therefore, this patch decouples the buffers and states of all monitor
terminals, allowing the user to operate them independently. It finally
starts to use the 'mon' parameter that was introduced earlier with the
API rework. It also defines the default monitor: the first instantance
that has the MONITOR_IS_DEFAULT flag set, and that is the monitor
created via the "-monitor" command line switch (or "vc" if none is
given).

As the patch requires to rework the monitor suspension interface, it
also takes the freedom to make it "truely" suspending (so far suspending
meant suppressing the prompt, but inputs were still processed).

aliguori 376253ece4 monitor: Rework API (Jan Kiszka)
Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.

For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.

Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.

At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

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.
