This version of the patch adds new option "werror" to -drive flag.
Possible values are:
report - report errors to a guest as IO errors
ignore - continue as if nothing happened
stop - stop VM on any error and retry last command on resume
enospc - stop vm on ENOSPC error and retry last command on resume
all other errors are reported to a guest.
Default is "report" to maintain current behaviour.

The DisplayState refactoring changed the machine init function to create a
DisplayState for each VGA device instead of being passed an existing
DisplayState. This change is critical to enable multiple graphics device
support.
Unfortunately, the serial/parallel/console code is structured today to run
before machine init to fill out the CharDriverState table which the machine
init function uses to determine whether to create the required devices.
Since a 'vc' is a type of CharDriverState, the CharDriverState code requires
that a DisplayState exist before it runs creating a circular dependency.
To fix this, this splits the creation of the initial CharDriverState from
the initialization of the text console. We can then in a second step associate
a DisplayState with all TextConsoles. This allows us to create the
CharDriverState's first, machine init, then associate the TextConsoles with
a DisplayState.
This code screams for more cleanup.

Patch 5/7
This patch changes the graphical_console_init function to return an
allocated DisplayState instead of a QEMUConsole.
This patch contains just the graphical_console_init change and few other
modifications mainly in console.c and vl.c.
It was necessary to move the display frontends (e.g. sdl and vnc)
initialization after machine->init in vl.c.
This patch does *not* include any required changes to any device, these
changes come with the following patches.
Patch 6/7
This patch changes the QEMUMachine init functions not to take a
DisplayState as an argument because is not needed any more;
In few places the graphic hardware initialization function was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now they are always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.
Patch 7/7
This patch updates the graphic device code to use the new
graphical_console_init function.
As for the previous patch, in few places graphical_console_init was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now it is always called.

This patch changes the DisplayState interface adding support for
multiple frontends at the same time (sdl and vnc) and implements most
of the benefit of the shared_buf patch without the added complexity.
Currently DisplayState is managed by sdl (or vnc) and sdl (or vnc) is
also responsible for allocating the data and setting the depth.
Vga.c (or another backend) will do any necessary conversion.
The idea is to change it so that is vga.c (or another backend) together
with console.c that fully manage the DisplayState interface allocating
data and setting the depth (either 16 or 32 bit, if the guest uses a
different resolution or is in text mode, vga.c (or another backend) is
in charge of doing the conversion seamlessly).
The other idea is that DisplayState supports *multiple* frontends
like sdl and vnc; each of them can register some callbacks to be called
when a display event occurs.
The interesting changes are:
- the new structures and related functions in console.h and console.c
in particular the following functions are very helpful to manage a
DisplaySurface:
qemu_create_displaysurface
qemu_resize_displaysurface
qemu_create_displaysurface_from
qemu_free_displaysurface
- console_select and qemu_console_resize in console.c
this two functions manage multiple consoles on a single host display
- moving code around in hw/vga.c
as for the shared_buf patch this is necessary to be able to handle a dynamic
DisplaySurface bpp
- changes to vga_draw_graphic in hw/vga.c
this is the place where the DisplaySurface buffer is shared with the
videoram, when possible;
Compared to the last version the only changes are:
- do not remove support to dpy_copy in cirrus_vga
- change the name of the displaysurface handling functions

qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update. This causes

noticeable when using savevm. Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format

Changeset r5636 changed the timers to run in the alarm callback. The
alarm callback can only be called as frequently as the host alarm timer
fires. For older Linux hosts and possibly non-Linux hosts, this can be
as high as a 1ms granularity.
icount calculates the select timeout based on the next deadline and
select is usually capable of sleeping for a short period of time than
alarm timer granularity. This means that changing the timer callbacks
to be based on alarm firing caused timers to fire much later than they
ought to when using icount.

This patch enhances QEMU's built-in debugger for SMP guest debugging.
Using the thread support of the gdb remote protocol, each VCPU is mapped
on a pseudo thread and exposed to the gdb frontend. This way you can
easy switch the focus of gdb between the VCPUs and observe their states.
On breakpoint hit, the focus is automatically adjusted just as for
normal multi-threaded application under gdb control.
Furthermore, the patch propagates breakpoint and watchpoint insertions
or removals to all CPUs, not just the current one as it was the case so
far. Without this, SMP guest debugging was practically unfeasible.

Changing the default IO timeout to 5 s (#5578) made a race visible
between the alarm_timer and select() in main_loop_wait(): If the timer
fired before select was able to block, the full select() timeout could

causes heavy problems to the Musicpal board emulation with stalls up to
5 s, but also with some older Linux guest kernels.

Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.

w/TCG: 1:32.36 elapsed 84% CPU
w/KVM: 0:31.14 elapsed 59% CPU

This patch makes qemu keep track of the character devices in use and
implements a "info chardev" monitor command to print a list.
qemu_chr_open() sticks the devices into a linked list now. It got a new
argument (label), so there is a name for each device. It also assigns a
filename to each character device. By default it just copyes the
filename passed in. Individual drivers can fill in something else
though. qemu_chr_open_pty() sets the filename to name of the pseudo tty
allocated.
Output looks like this:
(qemu) info chardev
monitor: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/monitor,server,nowait

The current DMA routines are driven by a call in main_loop_wait() after every
select.
This patch converts the DMA code to be driven by a constantly rescheduled
bottom half. The advantage of using a scheduled bottom half is that we can
stop scheduling the bottom half when there no DMA channels are runnable. This
means we can potentially detect this case and sleep longer in the main loop.
The only two architectures implementing DMA_run() are cris and i386. For cris,
I converted it to a simple repeating bottom half. I've only compile tested
this as cris does not seem to work on a 64-bit host. It should be functionally
identical to the previous implementation so I expect it to work.
For x86, I've made sure to only fire the DMA bottom half if there is a DMA
channel that is runnable. The effect of this is that unless you're using sb16
or a floppy disk, the DMA bottom half never fires.
You probably should test this malc. My own benchmarks actually show slight
improvement by it's possible the change in timing could affect your demos.
Since v1, I've changed the code to use a BH instead of a timer. cris at least
seems to depend on faster than 10ms polling.

Bottom halves are supposed to not complete until the next iteration of the main
loop. This is very important to ensure that guests can not cause stack
overflows in the block driver code. Right now, if you attempt to schedule a
bottom half within a bottom half callback, you will enter an infinite loop.
This patch uses the same logic that we use for the IOHandler loop to make the
bottom half processing robust in list manipulation while in a callback.
This patch also introduces idle scheduling for bottom halves. qemu_bh_poll()
returns an indication of whether any bottom halves were successfully executed.
qemu_aio_wait() uses this to immediately return if a bottom half was executed
instead of waiting for a completion notification.
qemu_bh_schedule_idle() works around this by not reporting the callback has
run in the qemu_bh_poll loop. qemu_aio_wait() probably needs some refactoring
but that would require a larger code audit. idle scheduling seems like a good
compromise.

This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough
to control the host page cache behavior. By default, writethrough caching is
now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk
images. When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity
it not at all an issue.
cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously. The later syntax is
still supported by now deprecated. I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT
implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.

This patch replaces the static memory savevm/loadvm handler with a "live" one.
This handler is used even if performing a non-live migration.
The key difference between this handler and the previous is that each page is
prefixed with the address of the page. The QEMUFile rate limiting code, in
combination with the live migration dirty tracking bits, is used to determine
which pages should be sent and how many should be sent.
The live save code "converges" when the number of dirty pages reaches a fixed
amount. Currently, this is 10 pages. This is something that should eventually
be derived from whatever the bandwidth limitation is.

The current savevm/loadvm protocol has some draw backs. It does not support
the ability to do progressive saving which means it cannot be used for live
checkpointing or migration. The sections sizes are 32-bit integers which
means that it will not function when using more than 4GB of memory for a guest.
It attempts to seek within the output file which means it cannot be streamed.
The current protocol also is pretty lax about how it supports forward
compatibility. If a saved section version is greater than what the restore
code support, the restore code generally treats the saved data as being in
whatever version it supports. This means that restoring a saved VM on an older
version of QEMU will likely result in silent guest failure.
This patch introduces a new version of the savevm protocol. It has the
following features:
* Support for progressive save of sections (for live checkpoint/migration)
* An asynchronous API for doing save
* Support for interleaving multiple progressive save sections
(for future support of memory hot-add/storage migration)
* Fully streaming format
* Strong section version checking

Right now, we sprinkle #if defined(QEMU_IMG) && defined(QEMU_NBD) all over the
code. It's ugly and causes us to have to build multiple object files for
linking against qemu and the tools.
This patch introduces a new file, qemu-tool.c which contains enough for
qemu-img, qemu-nbd, and QEMU to all share the same objects.
This also required getting qemu-nbd to be a bit more Windows friendly. I also
changed the Windows block-raw to use normal IO instead of overlapping IO since
we don't actually do AIO yet on Windows. I changed the various #if 0's to
#if WIN32_AIO to make it easier for someone to eventually fix AIO on Windows.
After this patch, there are no longer any #ifdef's related to qemu-img and
qemu-nbd.

This patch adds support for removing USB devices by host address.
Which is usefull for things like libvirtd because there is no easy way to
find guest USB address of the host device.
In other words you can now do:
usb_add host:3.5
...
usb_del host:3.5
Before the patch 'usb_del' did not support 'host:' notation.
----
Syntax for specifying auto connect filters has been improved.
Old syntax was
host:bus.dev
host:pid:vid
New syntax is
host:auto:bus.dev[:pid:vid]
In both the cases any attribute can be set to "*".
New syntax is more flexible and lets you do things like
host:3.*:5533:* /* grab any device on bus 3 with vendor id 5533 */
It's now possible to remove auto filters. For example:
usb_del host:auto:3.*:5533:*
Active filters are printed after all host devices in 'info usb' output.
Which now looks like this:
Device 1.1, speed 480 Mb/s
Hub: USB device 1d6b:0002, EHCI Host Controller
Device 1.4, speed 480 Mb/s
Class 00: USB device 1058:0704, External HDD

This patch introduces signalfd() to work around the signal/select race in
checking for AIO completions. For platforms that don't support signalfd(), we
emulate it with threads.
There was a long discussion about this approach. I don't believe there are any
fundamental problems with this approach and I believe eliminating the use of
signals is a good thing.
I've tested Windows and Linux using Windows and Linux guests. I've also checked
for disk IO performance regressions.

More over setting the data pins to forward mode does not work,
perhaps a bug in the Linux PP driver. The right way to do this is
to use PPDATADIR to set the direction. The patch checks if the
user is toggling the direction bit, and invokes PPDATADIR to
do the job.

This patch makes qemu handle signals better. It sets the request_shutdown
flag, making the main_loop exit and qemu taking the usual exit route, with
atexit handlers being called and so on, instead of qemu just being killed
by the signal.
To avoid calling vm_start() from the signal handler main_loop() got an
additional check so qemu_system_shutdown_request() works even when the

QEMU can now automatically grab host USB devices that match the filter.
For now I just extended 'host:X.Y' and 'host:VID:PID' syntax to handle
wildcards. So for example if you do something like
usb_add host:5.*
QEMU will automatically grab any non-hub device with host address 5.*.
Same with the 'host:PID:*', we grab any device that matches PID.
Filtering itself is very generic so we can probably add more elaborate
syntax like 'host:BUS.ADDR:VID:PID'. So that we can do 'host:5.*:6000:*'.
Anyway, it's implemented using a periodic timer that scans host devices
and grabs those that match the filter. Timer is started when the first
filter is added.
We now keep the list of all host devices that we grabbed to make sure that
we do not grab the same device twice.
btw It's currently possible to grab the same host device more than once.
ie You can just do "usb_add host:1.1" more than once, which of course does
not work. So this patch fixes that issue too.
Along with auto disconnect patch that I send a minute ago the setup is very
seamless now. You can just allocate some usb ports to the VMs and plug/unplug
devices at any time.

I got really annoyed by the fact that you have to manually do
usb_del in the monitor when host device is unplugged and decided
to fix it :)
Basically we now automatically remove guest USB device
when the actual host device is disconnected.
At first I've extended set_fd_handlerX() stuff to support checking
for exceptions on fds. But unfortunately usbfs code does not wake up
user-space process when device is removed, which means we need a
timer to periodically check if device is still there. So I removed
fd exception stuff and implemented it with the timer.

This patch moves the pty char device imlementation away from the generic
filehandle code. It tries to detect as good as possible whenever there
is someone connected to the slave pty device and only send data down the
road in case someone is listening. Unfortunaly we have to poll via
timer once in a while to check the status because we have to use read()
on the master pty to figure the status (returns -EIO when unconnected).
Poll intervall for an idle guest is one second, when the guest sends
data to the virtual device linked to the pty we check more frequently.
The point for all of this is to avoid qemu blocking and not responding
any more. Writing to the master pty handle succeeds even when nobody is
connected to (and reading from) to the slave end of the pty. The kernel
just bufferes the writes. And as soon as the kernel buffer is full the
write() call blocks forever ...

It is possible for a guest with a raw formatted disk image to write a
header to that disk image describing another format (such as qcow2).
Stopping and subsequent restart of the guest will cause qemu to detect
that format, and could allow the guest to read any host file if qemu is
sufficiently privileged (typical in virt environments).
The patch defaults to existing behaviour (probing based on file contents),
so it still requires the mgmt app (e.g. libvirt xml) to pass a new
"format=raw" parameter for raw disk images.
