-msg parameter "timestamp" defaults to "off" if you don't specify msg,
and to "on" if you do. Messed up right in commit 5e2ac51917 "add
timestamp to error_report()". Mostly harmless, because "timestamp" is
the only parameter, so "if you do" is "-msg ''", which nobody does.
Change the default to "off" no matter what.
While there, rename enable_timestamp_msg to error_with_timestamp, and
polish documentation.

The first machine property to fall is Xen's Intel integrated graphics
passthrough. The "-machine igd-passthru" option does not set anymore
a property on the machine object, but desugars to a GlobalProperty on
accelerator objects.
The setter is very simple, since the value ends up in a
global variable, so this patch also provides an example before the more
complicated cases that follow it.

It's been deprecated since QEMU v3.1. We've explicitly asked in the
deprecation message that people should speak up on qemu-devel in case
they are still actively using the bluetooth part of QEMU, but nobody
ever replied that they are really still using it.
I've tried it on my own to use this bluetooth subsystem for one of my
guests, but I was also not able to get it running anymore: When I was
trying to pass-through a real bluetooth device, either the guest did
not see the device at all, or the guest crashed.
Even worse for the emulated device: When running
qemu-system-x86_64 -bt device:keyboard
QEMU crashes once you hit a key.
So it seems like the bluetooth stack is not only neglected, it is
completely bitrotten, as far as I can tell. The only attention that
this code got during the past years were some CVEs that have been
spotted there. So this code is a burden for the developers, without
any real benefit anymore. Time to remove it.
Note: hw/bt/Kconfig only gets cleared but not removed here yet.
Otherwise there is a problem with the *-softmmu/config-devices.mak.d
dependency files - they still contain a reference to this file which
gets evaluated first on some build hosts, before the file gets
properly recreated. To avoid breaking these builders, we still need
the file around for some time. It will get removed in a couple of
weeks instead.

This will allow us to disable mixeng when we use a decent backend.
Disabling mixeng have a few advantages:
* we no longer convert the audio output from one format to another, when
the underlying audio system would just convert it to a third format.
We no longer convert, only the underlying system, when needed.
* the underlying system probably has better resampling and sample format
converting methods anyway...
* we may support formats that the mixeng currently does not support (S24
or float samples, more than two channels)
* when using an audio server (like pulseaudio) different sound card
outputs will show up as separate streams, even if we use only one
backend
Disadvantages:
* audio capturing no longer works (wavcapture, and vnc audio extension)
* some backends only support a single playback stream or very picky
about the audio format. In this case we can't disable mixeng.
Originally thw two main use cases of the disabled option was: using
unsupported audio formats (5.1 and 7.1 audio) and having different
pulseaudio streams per audio frontend. Since we can have multiple
-audiodevs, the latter is not that important, so currently you only need
this option if you want to use 5.1 or 7.1 audio (implemented in a later
patch), otherwise it's probably better to stick to the old and tried
mixeng, since it's less picky about the backends.
The ideal solution would be to port as much as possible to gstreamer,
but this is currently out of scope:

'warn' (default): Only log an error message (once) on host if more than one
device is shared by same export, except of that just ignore this config
error though. This is the default behaviour for not breaking existing
installations implying that they really know what they are doing.
'forbid': Like 'warn', but except of just logging an error this
also denies access of guest to additional devices.
'remap': Allows to share more than one device per export by remapping
inodes from host to guest appropriately. To support multiple devices on the
9p share, and avoid qid path collisions we take the device id as input to
generate a unique QID path. The lowest 48 bits of the path will be set
equal to the file inode, and the top bits will be uniquely assigned based
on the top 16 bits of the inode and the device id.

Using the UUID that qemu generates probably isn't the best thing
to do, allow it to be passed in via properties, and use QemuUUID
for the type.
If the UUID is not set, return an unsupported command error. This
way we are not providing an all-zero (or randomly generated) GUID
to the IPMI user. This lets the host fall back to the other
method of using the get device id command to determind the BMC
being accessed.

In our documentation, we use a mix of "$QEMU", "qemu-system-i386" and
"qemu-system-x86_64" when we give examples to the users how to run
QEMU. Some more consistency would be good here. Also some distributions
use different names for the QEMU binary (e.g. "qemu-kvm" in RHEL), so
providing more flexibility here would also be good. Thus let's define
some variables for the names of the QEMU command and use those in the
documentation instead: @value{qemu_system} for generic examples, and
@value{qemu_system_x86} for examples that only work with the x86
binaries.

source of entropy, and that source needs to be "non-blocking", like
`/dev/urandom`. However, currently QEMU defaults to the problematic
`/dev/random`, which on Linux is "blocking" (as in, it waits until
sufficient entropy is available).
Why prefer `/dev/urandom` over `/dev/random`?
---------------------------------------------
The man pages of urandom(4) and random(4) state:
"The /dev/random device is a legacy interface which dates back to a
time where the cryptographic primitives used in the implementation
of /dev/urandom were not widely trusted. It will return random
bytes only within the estimated number of bits of fresh noise in the
entropy pool, blocking if necessary. /dev/random is suitable for
applications that need high quality randomness, and can afford
indeterminate delays."
Further, the "Usage" section of the said man pages state:
"The /dev/random interface is considered a legacy interface, and
/dev/urandom is preferred and sufficient in all use cases, with the
exception of applications which require randomness during early boot
time; for these applications, getrandom(2) must be used instead,
because it will block until the entropy pool is initialized.
"If a seed file is saved across reboots as recommended below (all
major Linux distributions have done this since 2000 at least), the
output is cryptographically secure against attackers without local
root access as soon as it is reloaded in the boot sequence, and
perfectly adequate for network encryption session keys. Since reads
from /dev/random may block, users will usually want to open it in
nonblocking mode (or perform a read with timeout), and provide some
sort of user notification if the desired entropy is not immediately
available."
And refer to random(7) for a comparison of `/dev/random` and
`/dev/urandom`.
What about other OSes?
----------------------
`/dev/urandom` exists and works on OS-X, FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, NetBSD
and OpenBSD, which cover all the non-Linux platforms we explicitly
support, aside from Windows.
On Windows `/dev/random` doesn't work either so we don't regress.
This is actually another argument in favour of using the newly
proposed 'rng-builtin' backend by default, as that will work on
Windows.

Given the above, change the entropy source for VirtIO-RNG device to
`/dev/urandom`.

We add the "notify_dev=chardevID" parameter. After that colo-compare can connect with
remote(currently just for Xen, KVM-COLO didn't need it.) colo-frame through chardev socket,
it can notify remote(Xen) colo-frame to handle checkpoint event.

'family' option is not part of type 2 table and if user tries to use it
as such QEMU will error out with an unknow option error.

It will be useful for a number of use-cases to be able to re-direct
output to a file like we do with serial output. This does the wiring
to allow us to treat then semihosting console like just another
character output device.

When the -seed option is given, call qemu_guest_random_seed_main,
putting the subsystem into deterministic mode. Pass derived seeds
to each cpu created; which is a no-op unless the subsystem is in
deterministic mode.

This fixes several things:
- add "id" description to -virtfs documentation
- split the description into several lines in both usage and documentation
for accurateness and clarity
- add documentation and usage of the synth fsdriver
- add "throttling.*" description to -fsdev local
- add some missing periods
- add proper reference to the virtfs-proxy-helper(1) manual page
- document that the virtio device may be either virtio-9p-pci, virtio-9p-ccw
or virtio-9p-device, depending on the machine type

When a file supporting DAX is used as vNVDIMM backend, mmap it with
MAP_SYNC flag in addition which can ensure file system metadata
synced in each guest writes to the backend file, without other QEMU
actions (e.g., periodic fsync() by QEMU).
Current, We have below different possible use cases:
1. pmem=on is set, shared=on is set, MAP_SYNC supported:
a: backend is a dax supporting file.
- MAP_SYNC will active.
b: backend is not a dax supporting file.
- mmap will trigger a warning. then MAP_SYNC flag will be ignored
2. The rest of cases:
- we will never pass the MAP_SYNC to mmap2

This uses iconv to convert glyphs from the specified VGA font encoding to
unicode, and makes use of cchar_t instead of chtype when using ncursesw,
which allows to store all wide char as well as the WACS values. The default
charset is made CP437 since that is the charset of the hardware default VGA
font. This also makes the curses backend set the LC_CTYPE locale to "" to
allow curses to emit wide characters.
