qxl is a paravirtual graphics card. The qxl device is the bridge
between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server). The
spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which
will actually render them.
The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case
the guest wants read something from video memory. Local rendering is
also used to support display over vnc and sdl.
qxl is activated using "-vga qxl". qxl supports multihead, additional
cards can be added via '-device qxl".
[ v2: add copyright to files ]
[ v2: use qemu-common.h for standard includes ]
[ v2: create separate qxl-vga device for primary ]

The bochs vbe interface got a new register a while back, which specifies
the linear framebuffer size in 64k units. This patch adds support for
the new register to qemu. With this patch applied vgabios 0.6c works
with qemu.

This patch enables dirty log tracking whenever it's needed and disables it
when it is not.
We unconditionally enable dirty log tracking on reset, restart dirty log
tracking when PCI IO regions are remapped, and disable/enable it based on
commands from the guest.

Apparently, VBE maps the VGA vram to a fixed physical location. KVM requires
that all mappings of the VGA vram have dirty tracking enabled on them. Any
access to the VGA vram through the VBE mapping currently fails to result in
dirty page tracking updates causing a black screen.
This is the true root cause of VMware VGA not working correctly under KVM and
likely also an issue with some of the std-vga black screen issues too.
Cirrus does not enable VBE so it would not be a problem when using Cirrus.

This causes ctrl+alt+u or ctrl+alt+f to not work when windows hasn't been
resized first. Other graphic emulators do resize the screen on
hw_invalidate.
This reverts commit 0bd8246bfe.
In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input
and cope with it.

Hi all,
currently vga always resizes the screen when vga_hw_invalidate is called
while this is not required and all the other graphic emulators don't.
This patch fixes it, making vga invalidate behaviour consistent with the
other emulated devices.

Message-Id:
The vga_ram_size argument to machine init functions always has the same
value, and is ignored by many machines (including SPARC32 which has an
obsolete ifdef for VGA_RAM_SIZE).
Remove it and push VGA_RAM_SIZE into vga_int.h.

All VGA devices share a common field subset; currently they do so by
a macro which defines the common fields inline their state structures,
relying on the the common state being placed at offset 0 in the structure.
This makes refactoring the code difficult and requires a lot of error prone
casts.
Replace the macro by a new VGACommonState structure, and the casts by
regular field access and container_of() for upcasts.

In theory, there are no more quirks in the KVM slot management that
requires dirty log start/stop all over the place. We just have to start
the logging each time the mapping may have changed. This patch drops
vga_dirty_log_stop for both standard and cirrus VGA. It also reverts
#6851 as it was obviously a tribute to the old slot system.

When the vga resolution changes, a new display surface is not allocated
immediately; instead that is deferred until the next update. However,
if we're running without a display client attached, that won't happen
and the next bitblt is likely to cause a segfault by overflowing the
display surface.
Fix by reallocating the display immediately when the resolution changes.
Tested with (Windows|Linux) x (cirrus|std) x (curses|sdl).

this patch fixes the screendump functionality that was recently broken;
it must be applied *after* PATCH 5, 6 and 7 of the original displaystate
change patch series.
In fact the other patches make much easier to solve the screendump

Patch 5/7
This patch changes the graphical_console_init function to return an
allocated DisplayState instead of a QEMUConsole.
This patch contains just the graphical_console_init change and few other
modifications mainly in console.c and vl.c.
It was necessary to move the display frontends (e.g. sdl and vnc)
initialization after machine->init in vl.c.
This patch does *not* include any required changes to any device, these
changes come with the following patches.
Patch 6/7
This patch changes the QEMUMachine init functions not to take a
DisplayState as an argument because is not needed any more;
In few places the graphic hardware initialization function was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now they are always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.
Patch 7/7
This patch updates the graphic device code to use the new
graphical_console_init function.
As for the previous patch, in few places graphical_console_init was called
only if DisplayState was not NULL, now it is always called.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.

This patch changes the DisplayState interface adding support for
multiple frontends at the same time (sdl and vnc) and implements most
of the benefit of the shared_buf patch without the added complexity.
Currently DisplayState is managed by sdl (or vnc) and sdl (or vnc) is
also responsible for allocating the data and setting the depth.
Vga.c (or another backend) will do any necessary conversion.
The idea is to change it so that is vga.c (or another backend) together
with console.c that fully manage the DisplayState interface allocating
data and setting the depth (either 16 or 32 bit, if the guest uses a
different resolution or is in text mode, vga.c (or another backend) is
in charge of doing the conversion seamlessly).
The other idea is that DisplayState supports *multiple* frontends
like sdl and vnc; each of them can register some callbacks to be called
when a display event occurs.
The interesting changes are:
- the new structures and related functions in console.h and console.c
in particular the following functions are very helpful to manage a
DisplaySurface:
qemu_create_displaysurface
qemu_resize_displaysurface
qemu_create_displaysurface_from
qemu_free_displaysurface
- console_select and qemu_console_resize in console.c
this two functions manage multiple consoles on a single host display
- moving code around in hw/vga.c
as for the shared_buf patch this is necessary to be able to handle a dynamic
DisplaySurface bpp
- changes to vga_draw_graphic in hw/vga.c
this is the place where the DisplaySurface buffer is shared with the
videoram, when possible;
Compared to the last version the only changes are:
- do not remove support to dpy_copy in cirrus_vga
- change the name of the displaysurface handling functions

The vga reset handler overwrites some cirrus registers, causing reboots
to corrupt cirrus state to the point that guests can only bring up 640x480
resolutions.

Hypervisors like KVM perform badly while doing mmio on
a loop, because it'll generate an exit on each access.
This is the case with VGA, which results in very bad
performance.
In this patch, we map the linear frame buffer as RAM,
make sure it has dirty region tracking enabled, and then
just let the region to be written.
