This driver handles in-memory chardev operations. That's, all writes
to this driver are stored in an internal buffer and it doesn't talk
to the external world in any way.
Right now it's very simple: it supports only writes. But it can be
easily extended to support more operations.
This is going to be used by the monitor's "HMP passthrough via QMP"
feature, which needs to run monitor handlers without a backing
device.

resend for bug fix related to removal of irqfd
Support an inter-vm shared memory device that maps a shared-memory object as a
PCI device in the guest. This patch also supports interrupts between guest by
communicating over a unix domain socket. This patch applies to the qemu-kvm
repository.
-device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,shm=<shm name>]
Interrupts are supported between multiple VMs by using a shared memory server
by using a chardev socket.
-device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,shm=<shm name>]
[,chardev=<id>][,msi=on][,ioeventfd=on][,vectors=n][,role=peer|master]
-chardev socket,path=<path>,id=<id>

When using virtio-console on s390, the input doesn't work.
The root of the problem is rather simple. What happens is the following:
1) create character device for stdio
2) char device is done creating, sends OPENED event
3) virtio-console adds handlers
4) no event comes because the char device is open already
5) virtio-console doesn't accept input because it didn't
receive an OPENED event
To make that sure virtio-console gets notified that the character device
is open even when it's been open from the beginning, this patch introduces
a variable that keeps track of the opened state. If the device is open when
the event handlers get installed, we just notify the handler.
This fixes input with virtio-console on s390.

The initial_reset sent to chardevs doesn't do much other than setting
a bool to true. Char devices are interested in the open event and
that gets sent whenever the device is opened.
Moreover, the reset logic breaks as and when qemu's bh scheduling
changes.

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc923584,
f40d753718,
96555a96d7 and
3990d09adf but the fixes were fragile.
Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

Lets put -chardev into use now. With this patch applied chardev:name is
accepted as chardev specification everywhere, i.e. now you can:
-chardev stdio,id=ttyS0
-serial chardev:ttyS0
which does the same as '-serial stdio".
Muxing can be done this way:
-chardev stdio,id=mux,mux=on
-serial chardev:mux
-monitor chardev:mux
You can mux more than two streams.

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 ...

Up to now, you never really knew if you already switched the console
after pressing CTRL-A C or if you mistyped it again. This patch
clarifies the situation by providing a prompt in a new line and
injecting a linebreak when switching away again. For this purpose, the
two events CHR_EVENT_MUX_IN and CHR_EVENT_MUX_OUT are introduced and
distributed on focus switches.

Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals:
term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services
gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance
the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains
unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon
parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate
reference to monitor output services.
For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly
identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that
shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while
processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term,
those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed
again.
Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals
with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already
extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal
functions that invoke monitor_printf.
At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to
a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.

Recent changes to the graphical console initialization broke the initial
CHR_EVENT_RESET distribution. The reset BHs generated on char device
initialization are now already consumed during machine init (ide init
... -> qemu_aio_wait -> qemu_bh_poll). Therefore, this patch moves the
initial qemu_chr_reset calls into a separate funtion which is called
after machine init.

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
serial0: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/console,server

The direction bit in the control register should not be directly
set using PPWCONTROL. The kernel gives the following debug message.
parport0 (ppdev0): use data_reverse for this!
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.

The changes compared to previous version are:
- change clock_gettime to qemu_get_clock
- no token bucket anymore;
- fixed a small bug handling IRQs; this was the problem that prevented
kgdb to work over the serial (thanks to Jason Wessel for the help
spotting and reproducing this bug).
- many many style fixes;
- savevm version number increased;
- not including termios.h and sys/ioctl.h anymore, declaring static
