In preparation for adding bzip2 support, split the type check into a
separate function. Make all offsets relative to the begin of a chunk
such that it is easier to recognize the position without having to
add up all offsets. Some comments are added to describe the fields.

Previously the sector table parsing relied on the previous offset of
the DMG file. Now it uses the sector number from the BLKX header
(see http://newosxbook.com/DMG.html).
The implementation of dmg2img (from vu1tur) does not base the output
sector on the location of the terminator (0xffffffff) either so it
should be safe to drop this dependency on the previous state.
(It makes somehow makes sense, a terminator should halt further
processing of a block and is perhaps used to preallocate some space.)

This patch addresses two issues:
- The data fork offset was not taken into account, resulting in failure
to read an InstallESD.dmg file (5164763151 bytes) which had a
non-zero DataForkOffset field.
- The offset of the previous block ("partition") was unconditionally
added to the current block because older files would start the input
offset of a new block at zero. Newer files (including vlc-2.1.5.dmg,
tuxpaint-0.9.15-macosx.dmg and OS X Yosemite [MAS].dmg) failed in
reads because these files have chunk offsets, relative to the begin
of a data fork.
Now the data offset of the mish is taken into account. While we could
check that the data_offset is within the data fork, let's not do that
here as it would only result in parse failures on invalid files (rather
than gracefully handling such bad files). dmg_read will error out if
the offset is incorrect.

Right now the virtual size is always reported as zero which makes it
impossible to convert between formats.
After this patch, the number of sectors will be read from the trailer
("koly" block).
To verify the behavior, the output of `dmg2img foo.dmg foo.img` was
compared against `qemu-img convert -f dmg -O raw foo.dmg foo.raw`. The
tests showed that the file contents are exactly the same, except that
QEMU creates a slightly larger file (it matches the total sectors

Besides the offset, also read the resource length. This length is now
used in the extracted function to verify the end of the resource fork
against "count" from the resource fork.
Instead of relying on the value of offset to conclude whether the
resource fork is available or not (info_begin==0), check the
rsrc_fork_length instead. This would allow a dmg file to begin with a
resource fork. This seemingly unnecessary restriction was found while
trying to craft a DMG file by hand.
Other changes:
- Do not require resource data offset to be 0x100 (but check that it
is within bounds though).
- Further improve boundary checking (resource data must be within
the resource fork).
- Use correct value for resource data length (spotted by John Snow)
- Consider the resource data offset when determining info_end.
This fixes an EINVAL on the tuxpaint dmg example.

Extract the mish block decoder such that this can be used for other
formats in the future. A new DmgHeaderState struct is introduced to
share state while decoding.
The code is kept unchanged as much as possible, a "fail" label is added
for example where a simple return would probably do. In dmg_open, the
variable "tmp" is renamed to "rsrc_data_offset" for clarity and comments
have been added explaining various data.
Note that this patch has one subtle difference with the previous
version which should not affect functionality. In the previous code,
the end of a resource was inferred from the mish block (the offsets
would be increased by the fields). In this patch, the resource length
is used instead to avoid the need to rely on the previous offsets.

DMG files have a variable length with a UDIF trailer at the end of a
file. This UDIF trailer is essential as it describes the contents of
the image. At the moment however, the start of this trailer is almost
always incorrect as bdrv_getlength() returns a multiple of the block
size (rounded up). This results in a failure to recognize DMG files,
resulting in Invalid argument (EINVAL) errors.
As there is no API to retrieve the real file size, look for the magic
header in the last two sectors to find the start of this 512-byte UDIF
trailer (the "koly" block).
The resource fork offset ("info_begin") has its offset adjusted as the
initial value of offset does not mean "end of file" anymore, but "begin
of UDIF trailer".

Managing applications, like oVirt (http://www.ovirt.org), make extensive
use of thin-provisioned disk images.
To let the guest run smoothly and be not unnecessarily paused, oVirt sets
a disk usage threshold (so called 'high water mark') based on the occupation
of the device, and automatically extends the image once the threshold
is reached or exceeded.
In order to detect the crossing of the threshold, oVirt has no choice but
aggressively polling the QEMU monitor using the query-blockstats command.
This lead to unnecessary system load, and is made even worse under scale:
deployments with hundreds of VMs are no longer rare.
To fix this, this patch adds:
* A new monitor command `block-set-write-threshold', to set a mark for
a given block device.
* A new event `BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD', to report if a block device
usage exceeds the threshold.
* A new `write_threshold' field into the `BlockDeviceInfo' structure,
to report the configured threshold.
This will allow the managing application to use smarter and more
efficient monitoring, greatly reducing the need of polling.

This sequence works efficiently if FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is not supported.
Unfortunately, FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is supported on really modern systems
and only for a couple of filesystems. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE is much more
mature.
The sequence of 2 operations FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE and 0 is necessary due
to the following reasons:
- FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE creates a hole in the file, the file becomes
sparse. In order to retain original functionality we must allocate
disk space afterwards. This is done using fallocate(0) call
- fallocate(0) without preceeding FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE will do nothing
if called above already allocated areas of the file, i.e. the content
will not be zeroed
This should increase the performance a bit for not-so-modern kernels.

There is a possibility that we are extending our image and thus writing
zeroes beyond the end of the file. In this case we do not need to care
about the hole to make sure that there is no data in the file under
this offset (pre-condition to fallocate(0) to work). We could simply call
fallocate(0).
This improves the performance of writing zeroes even on really old
platforms which do not have even FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.
Before the patch do_fallocate was used when either
CONFIG_FALLOCATE_PUNCH_HOLE or CONFIG_FALLOCATE_ZERO_RANGE are defined.
Now the story is different. CONFIG_FALLOCATE is defined when Linux
fallocate is defined, posix_fallocate is completely different story
(CONFIG_POSIX_FALLOCATE). CONFIG_FALLOCATE is mandatory prerequite
for both CONFIG_FALLOCATE_PUNCH_HOLE and CONFIG_FALLOCATE_ZERO_RANGE
thus we are on the safe side.

(With the previous atapi_dma flag recovery)
If migration happens between the ATAPI command being written and the

out and recovers, but that can take many seconds.
(This is rare, on a pingpong reading the CD continuously I hit
this about ~1/30-1/50 migrates)
I don't think we've got enough state to be able to recover safely
at this point, so I throw a 'medium error, no seek complete'
that I'm assuming guests will try and recover from an apparently
dirty CD.
OK, it's a hack, the real solution is probably to push a lot of

It is not clear to me whether this is really the case, but we can take
the occasion to get rid of the complicated code that computes PCSTimeout
on the fly upon changes to IntrStatus/IntrMask. Just always keep a
timer running, it will fire every ~130 seconds at most if the interrupt
is masked with TimerInt != 0.

One of the annoyances of the current migration format is the fact that
it's not self-describing. In fact, it's not properly describing at all.
Some code randomly scattered throughout QEMU elaborates roughly how to
read and write a stream of bytes.
We discussed an idea during KVM Forum 2013 to add a JSON description of
the migration protocol itself to the migration stream. This patch
adds a section after the VM_END migration end marker that contains
description data on what the device sections of the stream are composed of.
This approach is backwards compatible with any QEMU version reading the
stream, because QEMU just stops reading after the VM_END marker and ignores
any data following it.
With an additional external program this allows us to decipher the
contents of any migration stream and hopefully make migration bugs easier
to track down.

For ftell we flush the output buffer to ensure that we don't have anything
lingering in our internal buffers. This is a very safe thing to do.
However, with the dynamic size measurement that the dynamic vmstate
description will bring this would turn out quite slow.
Instead, we can fast path this specific measurement and just take the
internal buffers into account when telling the kernel our position.
I'm sure I overlooked some corner cases where this doesn't work, so
instead of tuning the safe, existing version, this patch adds a fast
variant of ftell that gets used by the dynamic vmstate description code
which isn't critical when it fails.
