Libvirt would like to be able to distinguish between a SHUTDOWN
event triggered solely by guest request and one triggered by a
SIGTERM or other action on the host. While qemu_kill_report() was
already able to give different output to stderr based on whether a
shutdown was triggered by a host signal (but NOT by a host UI event,
such as clicking the X on the window), that information was then
lost to management. The previous patches improved things to use an
enum throughout all callsites, so now we have something ready to
expose through QMP.
Note that for now, the decision was to expose ONLY a boolean,
rather than promoting ShutdownCause to a QAPI enum; this is because
libvirt has not expressed an interest in anything finer-grained.
We can still add additional details, in a backwards-compatible
manner, if a need later arises (if the addition happens before 2.10,
we can replace the bool with an enum; otherwise, the enum will have
to be in addition to the bool); this patch merely adds a helper
shutdown_caused_by_guest() to map the internal enum into the
external boolean.
Update expected iotest outputs to match the new data (complete
coverage of the affected tests is obtained by -raw, -qcow2, and -nbd).
Here is output from 'virsh qemu-monitor-event --loop' with the
patch installed:
event SHUTDOWN at 1492639680.731251 for domain fedora_13: {"guest":true}
event STOP at 1492639680.732116 for domain fedora_13: <null>
event SHUTDOWN at 1492639680.732830 for domain fedora_13: {"guest":false}
Note that libvirt runs qemu with -no-shutdown: the first SHUTDOWN event
was triggered by an action I took directly in the guest (shutdown -h),
at which point qemu stops the vcpus and waits for libvirt to do any
final cleanups; the second SHUTDOWN event is the result of libvirt
sending SIGTERM now that it has completed cleanup. Libvirt is already
smart enough to only feed the first qemu SHUTDOWN event to the end user
(remember, virsh qemu-monitor-event is a low-level debugging interface
that is explicitly unsupported by libvirt, so it sees things that normal
end users do not); changing qemu to emit SHUTDOWN only once is outside
the scope of this series.

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/Linux
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/Mac
http://qemu-project.org/Hosts/W32
Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- #qemu on irc.oftc.net
