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.

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

This reverts commit 6a85e60cb9.
Commit 51767e7 "qemu-char: Add new char backend CirMemCharDriver"
introduced a memory ring buffer character device driver named
"memory". Commit 3949e59 "qemu-char: Saner naming of memchar stuff &
doc fixes" changed the driver name to "ringbuf", along with a whole
bunch of other names, with the following rationale:
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.
This is what we released in 1.4.0.
Unfortunately, the rename missed a critical instance of "memory": the
actual driver name. Thus, the new device could be used only by an
entirely undocumented name. The documented name did not work.
Bummer.
Commit 6a85e60 fixes this by changing the documentation to match the
code. It also changes some, but not all related occurences of
"ringbuf" to "memory". Left alone are identifiers in C code, HMP and
QMP commands. The latter are external interface, so they can't be
changed.
The result is an inconsistent mess. Moreover, "memory" is a rotten
name. The device's distinctive property is that it's a ring buffer,
not that's in memory. User's don't care whether it's in RAM, flash,
or carved into chocolate tablets by Oompa Loompas.
Revert the commit. Next commit will fix just the bug.

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.
Michael S. Tsirkin: tweaked to enable events on start
Michael S. Tsirkin: fixed not to crash when no id
Michael S. Tsirkin: fold in patch:
"additional fixes for mac-programming feature"

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.

This capability allows you to disable dynamic chunk registration
for better throughput on high-performance links.
For example, using an 8GB RAM virtual machine with all 8GB of memory in
active use and the VM itself is completely idle using a 40 gbps infiniband link:
1. x-rdma-pin-all disabled total time: approximately 7.5 seconds @ 9.5 Gbps
2. x-rdma-pin-all enabled total time: approximately 4 seconds @ 26 Gbps
These numbers would of course scale up to whatever size virtual machine
you have to migrate using RDMA.
Enabling this feature does *not* have any measurable affect on
migration *downtime*. This is because, without this feature, all of the
memory will have already been registered already in advance during
the bulk round and does not need to be re-registered during the successive
iteration rounds.

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'.

This property will be useful for libvirt, as libvirt already has logic
based on low-level feature bits (not feature names), so it will be
really easy to convert the current libvirt logic to something using the
"feature-words" property.
The property will have two main use cases:
- Checking host capabilities, by checking the features of the "host"
CPU model
- Checking which features are enabled on each CPU model
Example output:

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
TPM devices:
tpm0: model=tpm-tis
\ tpm0: type=passthrough,path=/dev/tpm0,cancel-path=/sys/devices/pnp0/00:09/cancel

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.
I could split this up into multiple commits, but they'd change the
same documentation lines multiple times. Not worth it.

Command memchar-write takes data and size parameter. Begs the
question what happens when data doesn't match size.
With format base64, qmp_memchar_write() copies the full data argument,
regardless of size argument.
With format utf8, qmp_memchar_write() copies size bytes from data,
happily reading beyond data. Copies crap from the heap or even
crashes.
Drop the size parameter, and always copy the full data argument.

Recently, linux support multiqueue tap which could let userspace call TUNSETIFF
for a signle device many times to create multiple file descriptors as
independent queues. User could also enable/disabe a specific queue through
TUNSETQUEUE.
The patch adds the generic infrastructure to create multiqueue taps. To achieve
this a new parameter "queues" were introduced to specify how many queues were
expected to be created for tap by qemu itself. Alternatively, management could
also pass multiple pre-created tap file descriptors separated with ':' through a
new parameter fds like -netdev tap,id=hn0,fds="X:Y:..:Z". Multiple vhost file
descriptors could also be passed in this way.
Each TAPState were still associated to a tap fd, which mean multiple TAPStates
were created when user needs multiqueue taps. Since each TAPState contains one
NetClientState, with the multiqueue nic support, an N peers of NetClientState
were built up.
A new parameter, mq_required were introduce in tap_open() to create multiqueue
tap fds.

The desired granularity may be very different depending on the kind of

the VM is expected to perform lots of I/O while mirroring is in progress.
Allow the user to customize it, while providing a sane default so that
in general there will be no extra allocated space in the target compared
