6a85e60cb9 chardev: Make the name of memory device consistent
Now we have memory char device, but the backend name of it
is a little confusion. We actually register it by 'memory', but
the description in qemu-option, the name of open functions
and the new api backend called it 'ringbuf'. It should keep
consistent. This patch named it all to 'memory'.

79f2007578 qemu-char: Set foo_tag = 0 when returning FALSE from callbacks
While reviewing some patches I found this problem where tcp_chr_accept
does not clear listen_tag when returning FALSE, leading to a double
g_source_remove of the underlying source. Not really a problem unless the id
gets re-used in between, but still something we should fix.

While at it I've also reviewed all the other code in qemu-char.c for
similar problems and found that pty_chr_timer has the same problem.

2b316774f6 qemu-char: do not operate on sources from finalize callbacks
Due to a glib bug, the finalize callback is called with the GMainContext
lock held.  Thus, any operation on the context from the callback will
cause recursive locking and a deadlock.  This happens, for example,
when a client disconnects from a socket chardev.

The fix for this is somewhat ugly, because we need to forego polymorphism
and implement our own function to destroy IOWatchPoll sources.  The
right thing to do here would be child sources, but we support older
glib versions that do not have them.  Not coincidentially, glib developers
found and fixed the deadlock as part of implementing child sources.

cdbf6e1659 qemu-char: correct return value from chr_read functions
Even if a CharDriverState's source is blocked by the front-end,
it must not be dropped. The IOWatchPoll that wraps it will take
care of adding and removing it to the main loop.  Only remove
the source when the channel is closed; and in that case, make sure
that the wrapping IOWatchPoll is removed too.

These should just be theoretical bugs.

85a67692d0 qemu-char: simplify pty polling
There is no need to use a timer and pty_chr_read to detect a connected
pty.  It is simpler to just call g_poll periodically and check for POLLHUP.
It is done once per second, and only if the pty is disconnected, so it
is cheap enough.

Tested with "-monitor pty" and "-serial mon:pty", both of which work
correctly and do not freeze QEMU.  (How to test ptys?  "socat -,raw,echo=0
/dev/pts/4,raw").

0ca5aa4f4c qemu-char: another io_add_watch_poll fix
After attaching the source, we have to remove the reference we hold
to it, because we do not hold anymore a pointer to the source.

If we do not do this, removing the source will not finalize it and
will not drop the "real" I/O watch source.

This showed up when backporting the new flow control patches to older
versions of QEMU that still used select.  The whole select then failed
with EBADF (poll instead will reporting POLLNVAL on a single pollfd)
and QEMU froze.

1e885b2527 qemu-char: really fix behavior on can_read = 0
I misread the glib manual, g_source_remove does not let you re-attach
the source later.  This behavior (called "blocking" the source in glib)
is present in glib's source code, but private and not available outside
glib; hence, we have to resort to re-creating the source every time.

In fact, g_source_remove and g_source_destroy are the same thing,
except g_source_destroy is O(1) while g_source_remove scans a potentially
very long list of GSources in the current main loop.  Ugh.  Better
use g_source_destroy explicitly, and leave "tags" to those dummies who
cannot track their pointers' lifetimes.

d185c094b4 qemu-char: eliminate busy waiting on can_read returning zero
The character backend refactoring introduced an undesirable busy wait.
The busy wait happens if can_read returns zero and there is data available
on the character device's file descriptor.  Then, the I/O watch will
fire continuously and, with TCG, the CPU thread will never run.

    1) Char backend asks front end if it can write
    2) Front end says no
    3) poll() finds the char backend's descriptor is available
    4) Goto (1)

What we really want is this (note that step 3 avoids the busy wait):

    1) Char backend asks front end if it can write
    2) Front end says no
    3) poll() goes on without char backend's descriptor
    4) Goto (1) until qemu_chr_accept_input() called

    5) Char backend asks front end if it can write
    6) Front end says yes
    7) poll() finds the char backend's descriptor is available
    8) Backend handler called

After this patch, the IOWatchPoll source and the watch source are
separated.  The IOWatchPoll is simply a hook that runs during the prepare
phase on each main loop iteration.  The hook adds/removes the actual
source depending on the return value from can_read.

A simple reproducer is

    qemu-system-i386 -serial mon:stdio

... followed by banging on the terminal as much as you can. :)  Without
this patch, emulation will hang.

456d606923 qemu-char: Call fe_claim / fe_release when not using qdev chr properties
chardev-frontends need to explictly check, increase and decrement the
avail_connections "property" of the chardev when they are not using a
qdev-chardev-property for the chardev.

This fixes things like:
qemu-kvm -chardev stdio,id=foo -device isa-serial,chardev=foo \
  -mon chardev=foo

Working, where they should fail. Most of the changes here are due to
old hardware emulation code which is using serial_hds directly rather then
a qdev-chardev-property.

9b938c7262 chardev: clear O_NONBLOCK on SCM_RIGHTS file descriptors
When we receive a file descriptor over a UNIX domain socket the
O_NONBLOCK flag is preserved.  Clear the O_NONBLOCK flag and rely on
QEMU file descriptor users like migration, SPICE, VNC, block layer, and
others to set non-blocking only when necessary.

This change ensures we don't accidentally expose O_NONBLOCK in the QMP
API.  QMP clients should not need to get the non-blocking state
"correct".

A recent real-world example was when libvirt passed a non-blocking TCP
socket for migration where we expected a blocking socket.  The source
QEMU produced a corrupted migration stream since its code did not cope
with non-blocking sockets.

edb2fb3cc8 chardev: add mux chardev support to qapi
This adds mux chardev support to the qapi and also makes the qapi-based
chardev creation path handle the "mux=on" option correctly.

2c5f488293 chardev: add support for qapi-based chardev initialization
This patch add support for a new way to initialize chardev devices.
Instead of calling a initialization function with a QemuOpts we will
now create a (qapi) ChardevBackend, optionally call a function to
fill ChardevBackend from QemuOpts, then go create the chardev using
the new qapi code path which is also used by chardev-add.

4549a8b7ee Add a TPM Passthrough backend driver implementation
This patch is based of off version 9 of Stefan Berger's patch series
  "QEMU Trusted Platform Module (TPM) integration"
and adds a new backend driver for it.

This patch adds a passthrough backend driver for passing commands sent to the
emulated TPM device directly to a TPM device opened on the host machine.
Thus it is possible to use a hardware TPM device in a system running on QEMU,
providing the ability to access a TPM in a special state (e.g. after a Trusted
Boot).

This functionality is being used in the acTvSM Trusted Virtualization Platform
which is available on [1].

Usage example:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0,path=/dev/tpm0 \
                     -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 \
                     -cdrom test.iso -boot d

Some notes about the host TPM:
The TPM needs to be enabled and activated. If that's not the case one
has to go through the BIOS/UEFI and enable and activate that TPM for TPM
commands to work as expected.
It may be necessary to boot the kernel using tpm_tis.force=1 in the boot
command line or 'modprobe tpm_tis force=1' in case of using it as a module.
