d36b2b904e qapi: Flatten away ChardevPort
Simplifies the schema and the code.

QMP command

    { "execute" : "chardev-add",
      "arguments" : { "id" : "ser0",
                      "backend" : { "type" : "port",

                                               "device":"/dev/ttyS0"} } } }

becomes

    { "execute" : "chardev-add",
      "arguments" : { "id" : "ser0",
                      "backend" : { "type" : "serial",
                                    "data" : { "device":"/dev/ttyS0"} } } }

Bonus: nicer error messages.  "unknown chardev port (1)" becomes
"character device backend type 'parallel' not supported".

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.

5c230105cd qemu-char: General chardev "memory" code cleanup
Inline trivial cirmem_chr_is_empty() into its only caller.

Rename qemu_chr_cirmem_count() to cirmem_count().

Fast ring buffer index wraparound.  Without this, there's no point in
restricting size to a power two.

qemu_is_chr(chr, "memory") returns *zero* when chr is a memory
character device, which isn't what I'd expect.  Replace it by the
saner and more obviously correct chr_is_cirmem().  Also avoids
encouraging testing for specific character devices elsewhere.

Command memchar-write takes data and size parameter.  Begs the
question what happens when data doesn't match size.

With format base64, qmp_memchar_write() copies the full data argument,
regardless of size argument.

With format utf8, qmp_memchar_write() copies size bytes from data,
happily reading beyond data.  Copies crap from the heap or even
crashes.

Drop the size parameter, and always copy the full data argument.

f6bd5d6ec5 chardev: add socket chardev support to chardev-add (qmp)
qemu_chr_open_socket is split into two functions.  All initialization
after creating the socket file handler is split away into the new
qemu_chr_open_socket_fd function.

chr->filename doesn't get filled from QemuOpts any more.  Qemu gathers
the information using getsockname and getnameinfo instead.  This way it
will also work correctly for file handles passed via file descriptor
passing.

Finally qmp_chardev_open_socket() is the actual qmp hotplug
implementation which basically just calls socket_listen or
socket_connect and the new qemu_chr_open_socket_fd function.

have to worry.  It will either be saved in CharDriverState, then
released in qemu_chr_delete, or in the error case released instantly.

25bbf61e4b pty: unbreak libvirt
Commit 586502189e breaks libvirt pty
support because it tried to figure the pts name from stderr output.

Fix this by moving the label to the end of the line, this way the
libvirt parser does still recognise the message.  libvirt looks
for "char device redirected to ${ptsname}<whitespace>".

ab51b1d568 disallow -daemonize usage of stdio (curses display, -nographic, -serial stdio etc)
Curses display requires stdin/out to stay on the terminal,
so -daemonize makes no sense in this case.  Instead of
leaving display uninitialized like is done since 995ee2bf46,
explicitly detect this case earlier and error out.

-nographic can actually be used with -daemonize, by redirecting
everything to a null device, but the problem is that according
to documentation and historical behavour, -nographic redirects
guest ports to stdin/out, which, again, makes no sense in case
of -daemonize.  Since -nographic is a legacy option, don't bother
fixing this case (to allow -nographic and -daemonize by redirecting
guest ports to null instead of stdin/out in this case), but disallow
it completely instead, to stop garbling host terminal.

If no display display needed and user wants to use -nographic,
the right way to go is to use
  -serial null -parallel null -monitor none -display none -vga none
instead of -nographic.

Also prevent the same issue -- it was possible to get garbled
host tty after

  -nographic -daemonize

and it is still possible to have it by using

  -serial stdio -daemonize

Fix this by disallowing opening stdio chardev when -daemonize
is specified.

586502189e qemu-char: Inherit ptys and improve output from -serial pty
Changes since V1:
  - Avoid crashing since qemu_opts_id() may return null on some
    systems according to Markus's suggestion.

When controlling a qemu instance from another program, it's
hard to know which serial port or monitor device is redirected
to which pty. With more than one device using "pty" a lot of
guesswork is involved.

$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -serial pty -serial pty -monitor pty
char device redirected to /dev/pts/5
char device redirected to /dev/pts/6
char device redirected to /dev/pts/7

Although we can find out what everything else is connected to
by the "info chardev" with "-monitor stdio" in the command line,
It'd be very useful to be able to have qemu inherit pseudo-tty
file descriptors so they could just be specified on the command
line like:

$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -serial pty -serial pty -monitor pty
char device compat_monitor0 redirected to /dev/pts/5
char device serial0 redirected to /dev/pts/6
char device serial1 redirected to /dev/pts/7
