Klim Kireev a8aa6197a2 chardev/char-socket: add POLLHUP handler
The following behavior was observed for QEMU configured by libvirt
to use guest agent as usual for the guests without virtio-serial
driver (Windows or the guest remaining in BIOS stage).

In QEMU on first connect to listen character device socket
the listen socket is removed from poll just after the accept().
virtio_serial_guest_ready() returns 0 and the descriptor
of the connected Unix socket is removed from poll and it will
not be present in poll() until the guest will initialize the driver
and change the state of the serial to "guest connected".

In libvirt connect() to guest agent is performed on restart and
is run under VM state lock. Connect() is blocking and can
wait forever.
In this case libvirt can not perform ANY operation on that VM.

The bug can be easily reproduced this way:

Terminal 1:
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -device pci-serial,chardev=serial1 -chardev socket,id=serial1,path=/tmp/console.sock,server,nowait
(virtio-serial and isa-serial also fit)

Terminal 2:
minicom -D unix\#/tmp/console.sock
(type something and press enter)
C-a x (to exit)

Do 3 times:
minicom -D unix\#/tmp/console.sock
C-a x

It needs 4 connections, because the first one is accepted by QEMU, then two are queued by
the kernel, and the 4th blocks.

The problem is that QEMU doesn't add a read watcher after succesful read
until the guest device wants to acquire recieved data, so
I propose to install a separate pullhup watcher regardless of
whether the device waits for data or not.

         QEMU README
         ===========

QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.

QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).

QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.

QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.

QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.


Building
========

QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:

  mkdir build
  cd build
  ../configure
  make

Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:

  https://qemu.org/Hosts/Linux
  https://qemu.org/Hosts/Mac
  https://qemu.org/Hosts/W32


Submitting patches
==================

The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.

   git clone git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git

When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.

Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website

  https://qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
  https://qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches


Bug reporting
=============

The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/

If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.

For additional information on bug reporting consult:

  https://qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug


Contact
=======

The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC

 - qemu-devel@nongnu.org
   https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
 - #qemu on irc.oftc.net

Information on additional methods of contacting the community can be
found online via the QEMU website:
