9cb805fd26 cpus: Define callback for QEMU "nmi" command
This introduces an NMI (Non Maskable Interrupt) interface with
a single nmi_monitor_handler() method. A machine or a device can
implement it. This searches for an QOM object with this interface
and if it is implemented, calls it. The callback implements an action
required to cause debug crash dump on in-kernel debugger invocation.
The callback returns Error**.

This adds a nmi_monitor_handle() helper which walks through
all objects to find the interface. The interface method is called
for all found instances.

This adds support for it in qmp_inject_nmi(). Since no architecture
supports it at the moment, there is no change in behaviour.

This changes inject-nmi command description for HMP and QMP.

03ce574442 Add the vhost-user netdev backend to the command line
The supplied chardev id will be inspected for supported options. Only
a socket backend, with a set path (i.e. a Unix socket) and optionally
the server parameter set, will be allowed. Other options (nowait, telnet)
will make the chardev unusable and the netdev will not be initialised.

Additional checks for validity:
  - requires `-numa node,memdev=..`
  - requires `-device virtio-net-*`

The `vhostforce` option is used to force vhost-net when we deal with
non-MSIX guests.

3722290074 block: update block commit documentation regarding image truncation
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.

58952137b0 net: Adding netmap network backend
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).

7f7f975295 s390: wire up nmi command to raise a RESTART interrupt on S390
There is the 'nmi' command that is used to trigger a guest dump via kdump feature on x86.
s390 uses RESTART interrupt to trigger kdump.
So, this patch provides a mean to use 'nmi' command on s390 to raise RESTART interrupt.

The CPU to receive the RESTART interrupt is the "default" one.

There is an infrastructure to select the "default" CPU using 'cpu' command.
The 'info cpus' command can be used to see which one is the "default".

In order to wire up the RESTART to 'nmi' command we had to:
1. implement the kvm_s390_cpu_restart function by exporting the existing code
2. implement s390_cpu_restart function as kvm-aware wrapper
3. modify the qmp_inject_nmi function to enable (for s390) the scan for
   "default" CPU and call s390_cpu_restart for it;
3. fix some messages.

de90930a0c block: add drive_backup HMP command
Make "drive_backup" available on the HMP monitor:

  drive_backup [-n] [-f] device target [format]

The -n flag requests QEMU to reuse the image found in new-image-file,
instead of recreating it from scratch.

The -f flag requests QEMU to copy the whole disk, so that the result
does not need a backing file.  Note that this flag *must* currently be
passed since the other sync modes ('none' and 'top') have not been
implemented yet.  Requiring it ensures that "drive_backup" behaves like
"drive_mirror".

79ca616f29 pci: Cleanup configuration for pci-hotplug.c
pci-hotplug.c and the CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG variable which controls its
compilation are misnamed.  They're not about PCI hotplug in general, but
rather about the pci_add/pci_del interface which are now deprecated in
favour of the more general device_add/device_del interface.  This patch
therefore renames them to pci-hotplug-old.c and CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG_OLD.

CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG=y was listed twice in {i386,x86_64}-softmmu.make for no
particular reason, so we clean that up too.  In addition it was included in
ppc64-softmmu.mak for which the old hotplug interface was never used and is
unsuitable, so we remove that too.

Most of pci-hotplug.c was additionaly protected by #ifdef TARGET_I386.  The
small piece which wasn't is only called from the pci_add and pci_del hooks
in hmp-commands.hx, which themselves were protected by #ifdef TARGET_I386.
This patch therefore also removes the #ifdef from pci-hotplug-old.c,
and changes the ifdefs in hmp-commands.hx to use CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG_OLD.

So there is no need to have a stub for qmp_dump_guest_memory().

That way we can drop CONFIG_HAVE_CORE_DUMP and leave configure

293c51a6ee blockdev: reset werror/rerror on drive_del
Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> suggested the following test case:

1. Launch a guest and wait at the GRUB boot menu:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 \
   -drive if=none,cache=none,file=test.img,id=foo,werror=stop,rerror=stop
   -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=foo,id=virtio0,addr=4

2. Hot unplug the device:

  (qemu) drive_del foo

3. Select the first boot menu entry

Without this patch the guest pauses due to ENOMEDIUM.  The guest is
stuck in a continuous pause loop since the I/O request is retried and
fails immediately again when the guest is resumed.

With this patch the error is reported to the guest.

Note that this scenario actually happens sometimes during libvirt disk
hot unplug, where device_del is followed by drive_del.  I/O may still be
submitted to the drive after drive_del if the guest does not process the
PCI hot unplug notification.

d1a0cf738d Support for TPM command line options
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

989b697ddd qemu-log: default to stderr for logging output
Switch the default for qemu_log logging output from "/tmp/qemu.log"
to stderr. This is an incompatible change in some sense, but logging
is mostly used for debugging purposes so it shouldn't affect production
use. The previous behaviour can be obtained by adding "-D /tmp/qemu.log"
to the command line.

This change requires us to:
 * update all the documentation/help text (we take the opportunity
   to smooth out minor inconsistencies between the phrasing in
   linux-user/bsd-user/system help messages)
 * make linux-user and bsd-user defer to qemu-log for the default
   logging destination rather than overriding it themselves
 * ensure that all logfile closing is done via qemu_log_close()
   and that that function doesn't close stderr
as well as the obvious change to the behaviour of do_qemu_set_log()
when no logfile name has been specified.

to use it.

Unfortunately, we're not there, yet, and we don't want to release with
chardev-add in a "HMP is more powerful than QMP" state.

Disable the HMP command for now, along with its chardev-remove buddy.

3949e59414 qemu-char: Saner naming of memchar stuff & doc fixes
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.

84c44613f9 HMP: add sub command table to info
Now info command takes a table of sub info commands,
and changed do_info() to do_info_help() to do help funtion
only.
 Note that now "info <unknown-topic>" returns error instead
of list of info topics.
