1. s390x/kvm: avoid synchronize_rcu's in kernel
----------------------------------------------
The first patches change s390x/kvm code to issue VCPU specific ioctls
from the VCPU thread. This will avoid unnecessary synchronize_rcu in
the kernel, which caused a noticably slowdown with many guest CPUs.
It speeds up all start/restart/reset operations involving cpus
drastically.
2. s390-ccw.img: block size and DASD format support
---------------------------------------------------
The second part changes the s390-ccw bios to IPL (boot) more disk
formats than before. Furthermore a small fix is made to the console
output of the bios.
3. s390: Support for Hotplug of Standby Memory
----------------------------------------------
The third part adds support in s390 for a pool of standby memory,
which can be set online/offline by the guest (ie, via chmem).
The standby pool of memory is allocated as the difference between
the initial memory setting and the maxmem setting.
As part of this work, additional results are provided for the
Read SCP Information SCLP, and new implentation is added for the
Read Storage Element Information, Attach Storage Element,
Assign Storage and Unassign Storage SCLPs, which enables the s390
guest to manipulate the standby memory pool.
This patchset is based on work originally done by Jeng-Fang (Nick)
Wang.
Sample qemu command snippet:
qemu -machine s390-ccw-virtio -m 1024M,maxmem=2048M,slots=32 -enable-kvm
This will allocate 1024M of active memory, and another 1024M
of standby memory. Example output from s390-tools lsmem:
=============================================================================
0x0000000000000000-0x000000000fffffff 256 online no 0-127
0x0000000010000000-0x000000001fffffff 256 online yes 128-255
0x0000000020000000-0x000000003fffffff 512 online no 256-511
0x0000000040000000-0x000000007fffffff 1024 offline - 512-1023
Memory device size : 2 MB
Memory block size : 256 MB
Total online memory : 1024 MB
Total offline memory: 1024 MB
The guest can dynamically enable part or all of the standby pool
via the s390-tools chmem, for example:
chmem -e 512M
And can attempt to dynamically disable:
chmem -d 512M
4. s390x/gdb: various fixes
---------------------------
* Patch 1 fixes a bug where the cc was changed accidentally.
* Patch 2 adds the gdb feature XML files for s390x
* Patch 3 Define acr and fpr registers as coprocessor registers. This allows us
to reuse the feature XML files.
* Patch 4 whitespace fixes

In order to access VMware ESX efficiently, we need to send a session
cookie. This patch is very simple and just allows you to send that
session cookie. It punts on the question of how you get the session
cookie in the first place, but in practice you can just run a `curl'
command against the server and extract the cookie that way.
To use it, add file.cookie to the curl URL. For example:
$ qemu-img info 'json: {
"file.driver":"https",
"file.url":"https://vcenter/folder/Windows%202003/Windows%202003-flat.vmdk?dcPath=Datacenter&dsName=datastore1",

"file.cookie":"vmware_soap_session=\"52a01262-bf93-ccce-d379-8dabb3e55560\""}'

The curl hardcoded timeout (5 seconds) sometimes is not long
enough depending on the remote server configuration and network
traffic. The user should be able to set how much long he is
willing to wait for the connection.
Adding a new option to set this timeout gives the user this
flexibility. The previous default timeout of 5 seconds will be
used if this option is not present.

This commit adds a new command, '-dump-vmstate', that takes a filename
as an argument. When executed, QEMU will dump the vmstate information
for the machine type it's invoked with to the file, and quit.
The JSON-format output can then be used to compare the vmstate info for
different QEMU versions, specifically to test whether live migration
would break due to changes in the vmstate data.
A Python script that compares the output of such JSON dumps is included
in the following commit.

a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally

- enable "virtual machine" bit in bios_characteristics_extension_bits
- add command line option to enable "uefi supported" bit in

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
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/netmap/
The same webpage contains more information about the netmap project
(together with papers and presentations).

The max parameter of the leaky bucket throttling algorithm can be used to
allow the guest to do bursts.
The max value is a pool of I/O that the guest can use without being throttled
at all. Throttling is triggered once this pool is empty.

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.

[Issue]
When we offer a customer support service and a problem happens
in a customer's system, we try to understand the problem by
comparing what the customer reports with message logs of the
customer's system.
In this case, we often need to know when the problem happens.
But, currently, there is no timestamp in qemu's error messages.
Therefore, we may not be able to understand the problem based on
error messages.
[Solution]
Add a timestamp to qemu's error message logged by
error_report() with g_time_val_to_iso8601().

With mon:stdio you can exit the VM by switching to the monitor and
sending the "quit" command. It is then useful to pass Ctrl-C to the
VM instead of exiting.
This in turn lets us stop tying the default signal handling behavior
to -nographic, removing gratuitous differences between "-display none"
and "-nographic".
This patch changes behavior for "-display none -serial mon:stdio", as
expected, but not for "-display none -serial stdio".

This also introduces a new suboption, "cpus=",
which is the default. So after this patch,
-smp n,sockets=y
is the same as
-smp cpus=n,sockets=y
(with "cpu" being some generic thing, referring to
either cores, or threads, or sockets, as before).
We still don't validate relations between different
numbers, for example it is still possible to say
-smp 1,sockets=10
and it will be accepted to mean sockets=1.

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'.

Added TLS support to the VNC QEMU Websockets implementation.
VNC-TLS needs to be enabled for this feature to be used.
The required certificates are specified as in case of VNC-TLS
with the VNC parameter "x509=<path>".
If the server certificate isn't signed by a rooth authority it needs to
be manually imported in the browser because at least in case of Firefox
and Chrome there is no user dialog, the connection just gets canceled.
As a side note VEncrypt over Websocket doesn't work atm because TLS can't
be stacked in the current implementation. (It also didn't work before)
Nevertheless to my knowledge there is no HTML 5 VNC client which supports
it and the Websocket connection can be encrypted with regular TLS now so
it should be fine for most use cases.
