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.

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

ac4119c023 chardev: Use timer instead of bottom-half to postpone open event
As the block layer may decide to flush bottom-halfs while the machine is
still initializing (e.g. to read geometry data from the disk), our
postponed open event may be processed before the last frontend
registered with a muxed chardev.

Until the semantics of BHs have been clarified, use an expired timer to
achieve the same effect (suggested by Paolo Bonzini). This requires to
perform the alarm timer initialization earlier as otherwise timer
subsystem can be used before being ready.

233aa5c2d1 Fix address handling in inet_nonblocking_connect
getaddrinfo can give us a list of addresses, but we only try to
connect to the first one. If that fails we never proceed to
the next one.  This is common on desktop setups that often have ipv6
configured but not actually working.

To fix this make inet_connect_nonblocking retry connection with a different
address.
callers on inet_nonblocking_connect register a callback function that will
be called when connect opertion completes, in case of failure the fd will have
a negative value

bbdd2ad081 qemu-char: BUGFIX, don't call FD_ISSET with negative fd
tcp_chr_connect(), unlike for example udp_chr_update_read_handler() does
not check if the fd it is using is valid (>= 0) before passing it to
qemu_set_fd_handler2().  If using e.g. a TCP serial port, which is not
initially connected, this can result in -1 being passed to FD_ISSET, which
has undefined behaviour.  On x86 it seems to harmlessly return 0, but on
PowerPC, it causes a fortify buffer overflow error to be thrown.

This patch fixes this by putting an extra test in tcp_chr_connect(), and
also adds an assert qemu_set_fd_handler2() to catch other such errors on
all platforms, rather than just some.

3294ce1893 do not include <libutil.h> needlessly or if it doesn't exist
<libutil.h> and <util.h> on *BSD (some have one, some another)
were #included just for openpty() declaration.  The only file
where this function is actually used is qemu-char.c.

In vl.c and net/tap-bsd.c, none of functions declared in libutil.h
(login logout logwtmp timdomain openpty forkpty uu_lock realhostname

Initially the code which is currently in qemu-char.c was in vl.c,
it has been removed into separate file in commit 0e82f34d07
Fri Oct 31 18:44:40 2008, but the #includes were left in vl.c.
So with vl.c, we just remove includes - libutil.h, util.h and
pty.h (which declares only openpty() and forkpty()) from there.

Author: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Oct 22 17:49:07 2009 +0100

    net: split all the tap code out into net/tap.c

Note this commit not only moved stuff out of net.c to net/tap.c,
but also rewrote large portions of the tap code, and added these
completely unnecessary #includes -- as usual, I question why such
a misleading commit messages are allowed.

Again, no functions defined in libutil.h or util.h on *BSD are
used by neither net/tap.c nor net/tap-bsd.c.  Removing them.

And finally, the only real user for these #includes, qemu-char.c,
which actually uses openpty().  There, the #ifdef logic is wrong.
A GLIBC-based system has <pty.h>, even if it is a variant of *BSD.
So __GLIBC__ should be checked first, and instead of trying to
include <libutil.h> or <util.h>, we include <pty.h>.  If it is not
GLIBC-based, we check for variations between <*util.h> as before.

This patch fixes build of qemu 1.1 on Debian/kFreebsd (well, one
of the two problems): it is a distribution with a FreeBSD kernel,
so it #defines at least __FreeBSD_kernel__, but since it is based
on GLIBC, it has <pty.h>, but current version does not have neither
<util.h> nor <libutil.h>, which the code tries to include 3 times
but uses only once.

8be7e7e4c7 qemu-option: qemu_opts_create(): use error_set()
This commit converts qemu_opts_create() from qerror_report() to
error_set().

Currently, most calls to qemu_opts_create() can't fail, so most
callers don't need any changes.

The two cases where code checks for qemu_opts_create() erros are:

 1. Initialization code in vl.c. All of them print their own
    error messages directly to stderr, no need to pass the Error
    object

 2. The functions opts_parse(), qemu_opts_from_qdict() and
    qemu_chr_parse_compat() make use of the error information and
    they can be called from HMP or QMP. In this case, to allow for
    incremental conversion, we propagate the error up using
    qerror_report_err(), which keeps the QError semantics

qemu-system-arm (and other system emulations) crashes with SDL when
the user switches consoles (Alt-Ctrl-F4).

We already check for NULL pointers in qemu_chr_fe_ioctl,
qemu_chr_be_can_write and other functions, so do this also
for s->chr_read in qemu_chr_be_write. This fixes the crash.

98c8ee1da8 Kick io-thread on qemu_chr_accept_input
Once a chr frontend is able to receive input again, we need to inform
the io-thread about this fact. Otherwise, main_loop_wait may continue to
select without the related backend file descriptor in its set. This can
cause high input latencies if only low-rate events arrive otherwise.

1f51470d04 Revert "qemu-char: Print strerror message on failure" and deps
The commit's purpose is laudable:

    The only way for chardev drivers to communicate an error was to
    return a NULL pointer, which resulted in an error message that
    said _that_ something went wrong, but not _why_.

It attempts to achieve it by changing the interface to return 0/-errno
and update qemu_chr_open_opts() to use strerror() to display a more
helpful error message.  Unfortunately, it has serious flaws:

1. Backends "socket" and "udp" return bogus error codes, because
qemu_chr_open_socket() and qemu_chr_open_udp() assume that
unix_listen_opts(), unix_connect_opts(), inet_listen_opts(),
inet_connect_opts() and inet_dgram_opts() fail with errno set
appropriately.  That assumption is wrong, and the commit turns
unspecific error messages into misleading error messages.  For
instance:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vnc :0 -chardev socket,id=bar,host=xxx
    inet_connect: host and/or port not specified
    chardev: opening backend "socket" failed: No such file or directory

ENOENT is what happens to be in my errno when the backend returns
-errno.  Let's put ERANGE there just for giggles:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vnc :0 -chardev socket,id=bar,host=xxx -drive if=none,iops=99999999999999999999
    inet_connect: host and/or port not specified
    chardev: opening backend "socket" failed: Numerical result out of range

Worse: when errno happens to be zero, return -errno erroneously
signals success, and qemu_chr_new_from_opts() dies dereferencing
uninitialized chr.  I observe this with "-serial unix:".

2. All qemu_chr_open_opts() knows about the error is an errno error
code.  That's simply not enough for a decent message.  For instance,
when inet_dgram() can't resolve the parameter host, which errno code
should it use?  What if it can't resolve parameter localaddr?

Clue: many backends already report errors in their open methods.
Let's revert the flawed commit along with its dependencies, and fix up
the silent error paths instead.

This reverts commit 6e1db57b2a.

Conflicts:

	console.c
	hw/baum.c
	qemu-char.c

This reverts commit aad04cd024.

The parts of commit db418a0a "Add stdio char device on windows" that
depend on the reverted change fixed up.

qdev.  Move it to qemu-char where it belongs.
