This updates the documentation for commiting snapshot images.
Specifically, this highlights what happens when the base image
is either smaller or larger than the snapshot image being committed.
In the case of the base image being smaller, it is resized to the
larger size of the snapshot image. In the case of the base image
being larger, it is not resized automatically, but once the commit
has completed it is safe for the user to truncate the base image.

There was two candidate ways to implement named node manipulation:
1)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'*device': 'str',
'*node-name': 'str', 'password': 'str'}
}
2)
{ 'command': 'block_passwd', 'data': {'device': 'str',
'*device-is-node': 'bool',
'password': 'str'} }
Luiz proposed 1 and says 2 was an abuse of the QMP interface and proposed to
rewrite the QMP block interface for 2.0.
Luiz does not like in 1 the fact that 2 fields are optional but one of them must
be specified leading to an abuse of the QMP semantic.
Kevin argumented that 2 what a clear abuse of the device field and would not be
practical when reading fast some log file because the user would read "device"
and think that a device is manipulated when it's in fact a node name.
Documentation of 1 make it pretty clear what to do for the user.
Kevin argued that all bs are node including devices ones so 2 does not make
sense.
Kevin also argued that rewriting the QMP block interface would not make disapear
the current one.
Kevin pushed the argument that making the QAPI generator compatible with the
semantic of the operation would need a rewrite that no one has done yet.
A vote has been done on the list to elect the version to use and 1 won.

Although qcow2 support storing multiple snapshots with same name

ID at all, and in most case, it means trouble to user when he faces

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.

This patch adds sync-modes to the drive-backup interface and
implements the FULL, NONE and TOP modes of synchronization.
FULL performs as before copying the entire contents of the drive
while preserving the point-in-time using CoW.
NONE only copies new writes to the target drive.
TOP copies changes to the topmost drive image and preserves the
point-in-time using CoW.
For sync mode TOP are creating a new target image using the same backing
file as the original disk image. Then any new data that has been laid
on top of it since creation is copied in the main backup_run() loop.
There is an extra check in the 'TOP' case so that we don't bother to copy
all the data of the backing file as it already exists in the target.
This is where the bdrv_co_is_allocated() is used to determine if the
data exists in the topmost layer or below.
Also any new data being written is intercepted via the write_notifier
hook which ends up calling backup_do_cow() to copy old data out before
it gets overwritten.
For mode 'NONE' we create the new target image and only copy in the
original data from the disk image starting from the time the call was
made. This preserves the point in time data by only copying the parts
that are *going to change* to the target image. This way we can
reconstruct the final image by checking to see if the given block exists
in the new target image first, and if it does not, you can get it from
the original image. This is basically an optimization allowing you to
do point-in-time snapshots with low overhead vs the 'FULL' version.
Since there is no old data to copy out the loop in backup_run() for the
NONE case just calls qemu_coroutine_yield() which only wakes up after
an event (usually cancel in this case). The rest is handled by the
before_write notifier which again calls backup_do_cow() to write out
the old data so it can be preserved.

Currently macvtap based macvlan device is working in promiscuous
mode, we want to implement mac-programming over macvtap through
Libvirt for better performance.
Design:
QEMU notifies Libvirt when rx-filter config is changed in guest,
then Libvirt query the rx-filter information by a monitor command,
and sync the change to macvtap device. Related rx-filter config
of the nic contains main mac, rx-mode items and vlan table.
This patch adds a QMP event to notify management of rx-filter change,
and adds a monitor command for management to query rx-filter
information.
Test:
If we repeatedly add/remove vlan, and change macaddr of vlan
interfaces in guest by a loop script.
Result:
The events will flood the QMP client(management), management takes
too much resource to process the events.
Event_throttle API (set rate to 1 ms) can avoid the events to flood
QMP client, but it could cause an unexpected delay (~1ms), guests
guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately.
So we use a flag for each nic to avoid events flooding, the event
is emitted once until the query command is executed. The flag
implementation could not introduce unexpected delay.
There maybe exist an uncontrollable delay if we let Libvirt do the
real change, guests normally expect rx-filter updates immediately.
But it's another separate issue, we can investigate it when the
work in Libvirt side is done.

The drive-backup command is similar to the drive-mirror command, except
no guest data written after the command executes gets copied. Add a
sync mode argument which determines whether the entire disk is copied,
just allocated clusters, or only clusters being written to by the guest.
Currently only sync mode 'full' is supported - it copies the entire disk.
For read-only point-in-time snapshots we may only need sync mode 'none'
since the target can be a qcow2 file using the guest's disk as its
backing file (no need to copy the entire disk). Finally, sync mode
'top' is useful if we wish to preserve the backing chain.
Note that this patch just adds the sync mode argument to drive-backup.
It does not implement sync modes 'top' or 'none'. This patch is
necessary so we can add a drive-backup HMP command that behaves like the
existing drive-mirror HMP command and takes a sync mode.

@mode: #optional whether and how QEMU should create a new image, default is
'absolute-paths'.
@speed: #optional the maximum speed, in bytes per second
@on-source-error: #optional the action to take on an error on the source,

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

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.
