ab6540d55e trace: Add trace file name command-line option
This patch adds an optional command line switch '-trace' to specify the
filename to write traces to, when qemu starts.
Eg, If compiled with the 'simple' trace backend,
[temp@system]$ qemu -trace FILENAME IMAGE
Allows the binary traces to be written to FILENAME instead of the option
set at config-time.

9ce56db6f0 virtio-9p: Introduces an option to specify the security model.
The new option is:

-fsdev fstype,id=myid,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough]
-virtfs fstype,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough],mnt_tag=tag

In the case of mapped security model, files are created with QEMU user
credentials and the client-user's credentials are saved in extended attributes.
Whereas in the case of passthrough security model, files on the
filesystem are directly created with client-user's credentials.

016f5cf6ff Add cache=unsafe parameter to -drive
Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases we
don't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache.

So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cache
policy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe",
as guest data is not guaranteed to survive host crashes anymore.

This patch also adds a noop function for aio, so we can do nothing in AIO
fashion.

#qemu -fsdev fstype,id=ID,path=path/to/share \

8212c64f0e qemu-option: Move the implied first name into QemuOptsList
We sometimes permit omitting the first option name, for example
-device foo is short for -device driver=foo.  The name to use
("driver" in the example) is passed as argument to qemu_opts_parse().
For each QemuOptsList, we use at most one such name.

Move the name into QemuOptsList, and pass whether to permit the
abbreviation.  This ensures continued consistency, and simplifies the
commit after next in this series.

b5ec5ce0e3 Add cpu model configuration support..
This is a reimplementation of prior versions which adds
the ability to define cpu models for contemporary processors.
The added models are likewise selected via -cpu <name>,
and are intended to displace the existing convention
of "-cpu qemu64" augmented with a series of feature flags.

A primary motivation was determination of a least common
denominator within a given processor class to simplify guest
migration.  It is still possible to modify an arbitrary model
via additional feature flags however the goal here was to
make doing so unnecessary in typical usage.  The other
consideration was providing models names reflective of
current processors.  Both AMD and Intel have reviewed the
models in terms of balancing generality of migration vs.
excessive feature downgrade relative to released silicon.

This version of the patch replaces the prior hard wired
definitions with a configuration file approach for new
models.  Existing models are thus far left as-is but may
easily be transitioned to (or may be overridden by) the
configuration file representation.

Proposed new model definitions are provided here for current
AMD and Intel processors.  Each model consists of a name
used to select it on the command line (-cpu <name>), and a
model_id which corresponds to a least common denominator
commercial instance of the processor class.

A table of names/model_ids may be queried via "-cpu ?model":

        :
    x86       Opteron_G3  AMD Opteron 23xx (Gen 3 Class Opteron)
    x86       Opteron_G2  AMD Opteron 22xx (Gen 2 Class Opteron)
    x86       Opteron_G1  AMD Opteron 240 (Gen 1 Class Opteron)
    x86          Nehalem  Intel Core i7 9xx (Nehalem Class Core i7)
    x86           Penryn  Intel Core 2 Duo P9xxx (Penryn Class Core 2)
    x86           Conroe  Intel Celeron_4x0 (Conroe/Merom Class Core 2)
        :

Also added is "-cpu ?dump" which exhaustively outputs all config
data for all defined models, and "-cpu ?cpuid" which enumerates
all qemu recognized CPUID feature flags.

The pseudo cpuid flag 'check' when added to the feature flag list
will warn when feature flags (either implicit in a cpu model or
explicit on the command line) would have otherwise been quietly
unavailable to a guest:

    # qemu-system-x86_64 ... -cpu Nehalem,check
    warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'sse4.2|sse4_2' [0x00100000]
    warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'popcnt' [0x00800000]

A similar 'enforce' pseudo flag exists which in addition
to the above causes qemu to error exit if requested flags are
unavailable.

Configuration data for a cpu model resides in the target config
file which by default will be installed as:

    /usr/local/etc/qemu/target-<arch>.conf

The format of this file should be self explanatory given the
definitions for the above six models and essentially mimics
the structure of the static x86_def_t x86_defs.

Encoding of cpuid flags names now allows aliases for both the
configuration file and the command line which reconciles some
Intel/AMD/Linux/Qemu naming differences.

This patch was tested relative to qemu.git.

d0fef6fbea qdev: add command line option to set global defaults for properties.
This patch adds infrastructure and command line option for setting
global defaults for device properties, i.e. you can for example use

  -global virtio-blk-pci.vectors=0

to turn off msi by default for all virtio block devices.  The config
file syntax is:

[global]
  driver = "virtio-blk-pci"
  property = "vectors"
  value = "0"

This can also be used to set properties for devices which are not
created via -device but implicitly via machine init, i.e.

  -global isa-fdc,driveA=<name>

This patch uses the mechanism which configures properties for the
compatibility machine types (pc-0.10 & friends).  The command line
takes precedence over the machine type values.

59f2689d90 Added readonly flag to -drive command
This is a slightly revised patch for adding readonly flag to the -drive command.
Even though this patch is "stand-alone", it assumes a previous related patch (in Anthony staging tree), that passes
the readonly attribute of the drive to the guest OS, applied first.

This enables sharing same image between guests, with readonly access.
Implementaion mark the drive as read_only and changes the flags when actually opening the file.
The readonly attribute of a qcow also passed to it's base file.
For ide that cannot pass the readonly attribute to the guest OS, disallow the readonly flag.

Also, return error code from bdrv_truncate for readonly drive.

Note that some RTC emulations (at least M48T59) already use the host

191bc01bc9 switch chardev to QemuOpts: infrastructure, null device
start switching chardevs to QemuOpts.  This patch adds the
infrastructure and converts the null device.

The patch brings two new functions:

qemu_chr_open_opts()
	same as qemu_chr_open(), but uses QemuOpts instead of a
	option char string.

qemu_chr_parse_compat()
	accepts a traditional chardev option string, returns the
	corresponding QemuOpts instance, to handle backward
	compatibility.

The patch also adds a new -chardev switch which can be used to create
named+unconnected chardevs, like this:

	-chardev null,id=test

This uses the new qemu_chr_open_opts.  Thus with this patch alone only
the null device works.  The other devices will follow ...

5c6c3a6c54 raw-posix: add Linux native AIO support
Now that do have a nicer interface to work against we can add Linux native
AIO support.  It's an extremly thing layer just setting up an iocb for
the io_submit system call in the submission path, and registering an
eventfd with the qemu poll handler to do complete the iocbs directly
from there.

This started out based on Anthony's earlier AIO patch, but after
estimated 42,000 rewrites and just as many build system changes
there's not much left of it.

To enable native kernel aio use the aio=native sub-command on the
drive command line.  I have also added an option to qemu-io to
test the aio support without needing a guest.

f31d07d175 QemuOpts: switch over -device.
Make -device switch use the QemuOpts framework.
Everything should continue to work like it did before.

New: "-set device.$id.$property=$value" works.

d058fe03e5 QemuOpts: add -set option
One use case will be file for drives (no filename quoting issues), i.e.

	-drive id=test,if=virtio
	-set drive.test.file=/vmdisk/test-virtio.img

It will work for any other option (assuming handled by QemuOpts) though.
Except for id= for obvious reasons ;).
