Typically a UNIX guest OS will log boot messages to a serial
port in addition to any graphical console. An admin user
may also wish to use the serial port for an interactive
console. A virtualization management system may wish to
collect system boot messages by logging the serial port,
but also wish to allow admins interactive access.
Currently providing such a feature forces the mgmt app
to either provide 2 separate serial ports, one for
logging boot messages and one for interactive console
login, or to proxy all output via a separate service
that can multiplex the two needs onto one serial port.
While both are valid approaches, they each have their
own downsides. The former causes confusion and extra
setup work for VM admins creating disk images. The latter
places an extra burden to re-implement much of the QEMU
chardev backends logic in libvirt or even higher level
mgmt apps and adds extra hops in the data transfer path.
A simpler approach that is satisfactory for many use
cases is to allow the QEMU chardev backends to have a
"logfile" property associated with them.
$QEMU -chardev socket,host=localhost,port=9000,\
server=on,nowait,id-charserial0,\
logfile=/var/log/libvirt/qemu/test-serial0.log
-device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0
This patch introduces a 'ChardevCommon' struct which
is setup as a base for all the ChardevBackend types.
Ideally this would be registered directly as a base
against ChardevBackend, rather than each type, but
the QAPI generator doesn't allow that since the
ChardevBackend is a non-discriminated union. The
ChardevCommon struct provides the optional 'logfile'
parameter, as well as 'logappend' which controls
whether QEMU truncates or appends (default truncate).

Having creation as a member of the CharDriver struct removes the need
to export functions for qemu-char.c's usage. After the conversion,
chardev backends implemented outside qemu-char.c will not need a stub
creation function anymore.
Ultimately all drivers will be converted. For now, support the case
where cd->create == NULL.

I've ported the SDL1.2 code over, and rewritten it to use the SDL2 interface.
The biggest changes were in the input handling, where SDL2 has done a major
overhaul, and I've had to include a generated translation file to get from
SDL2 codes back to qemu compatible ones. I'm still not sure how the keyboard
layout code works in qemu, so there may be further work if someone can point
me a test case that works with SDL1.2 and doesn't with SDL2.
Some SDL env vars we used to set are no longer used by SDL2,
Windows, OSX support is untested,
I don't think we can link to SDL1.2 and SDL2 at the same time, so I felt
using --with-sdlabi=2.0 to select the new code should be fine, like how
gtk does it.
v1.1: fix keys in text console
v1.2: fix shutdown, cleanups a bit of code, support ARGB cursor
v2.0: merge the SDL multihead patch into this, g_new the number of consoles
needed, wrap DCL inside per-console structure.

When CHR_EVENT_OPENED was initially added, it was CHR_EVENT_RESET,
and it was issued as a bottom-half:
86e94dea5b
Which we basically used to print out a greeting/prompt for the
monitor.
AFAICT the only reason this was ever done in a BH was because in
some cases we'd modify the chr_write handler for a new chardev
backend *after* the site where we issued the reset (see:
86e94d:qemu_chr_open_stdio())
At some point this event was renamed to CHR_EVENT_OPENED, and we've
maintained the use of this BH ever since.
However, due to 9f939df955, we schedule
the BH via g_idle_add(), which is causing events to sometimes be
delivered after we've already begun processing data from backends,
leading to:
known bugs:
QMP:
session negotation resets with OPENED event, in some cases this
is causing new sessions to get sporadically reset
potential bugs:
hw/usb/redirect.c:
can_read handler checks for dev->parser != NULL, which may be
true if CLOSED BH has not been executed yet. In the past, OPENED
quiesced outstanding CLOSED events prior to us reading client
data. If it's delayed, our check may allow reads to occur even
though we haven't processed the OPENED event yet, and when we
do finally get the OPENED event, our state may get reset.
qtest.c:
can begin session before OPENED event is processed, leading to
a spurious reset of the system and irq_levels
gdbstub.c:
may start a gdb session prior to the machine being paused
To fix these, let's just drop the BH.
Since the initial reasoning for using it still applies to an extent,
work around that by deferring the delivery of CHR_EVENT_OPENED until
after the chardevs have been fully initialized, toward the end of
qmp_chardev_add() (or some cases, qemu_chr_new_from_opts()). This
defers delivery long enough that we can be assured a CharDriverState
is fully initialized before CHR_EVENT_OPENED is sent.
Also, rather than requiring each chardev to do an explicit open, do it
automatically, and allow the small few who don't desire such behavior to
suppress the OPENED-on-init behavior by setting a 'explicit_be_open'
flag.
We additionally add missing OPENED events for stdio backends on w32,
which were previously not being issued, causing us to not recieve the
banner and initial prompts for qmp/hmp.
