The "delay" option was introduced as a way to enable Nagle's algorithm
with ",nodelay". Since the short form for boolean options has now been
deprecated, introduce a more properly named "nodelay" option. The "delay"
option remains as an undocumented option.
"delay" and "nodelay" are mutually exclusive. Because the check is
done at consumption time, the code also rejects them if one of the
two is specified via -set.

The possible choices for panic, reset and watchdog actions are inconsistent.
"-action panic=poweroff" should be renamed to "-action panic=shutdown"
on the command line. This is because "-action panic=poweroff" and
"-action watchdog=poweroff" have slightly different semantics, the first
does an unorderly exit while the second goes through qemu_cleanup(). With
this change, -no-shutdown would not have to change "-action panic=pause"
"pause", just like it does not have to change the reset action.
"-action reboot=none" should be renamed to "-action reboot=reset".
This should be self explanatory, since for example "-action panic=none"
lets the guest proceed without taking any action.

The "XVP" (Xen VNC Proxy) extension defines a mechanism for a VNC client
to issue power control requests to trigger graceful shutdown, reboot, or
hard reset.
This option is not enabled by default, since we cannot assume that users
with VNC access implicitly have administrator access to the guest OS.
Thus is it enabled with a boolean "power-control" option e.g.
-vnc :1,power-control=on
While, QEMU can easily support shutdown and reset, there's no easy way
to wire up reboot support at this time. In theory it could be done by
issuing a shutdown, followed by a reset, but there's no convenient
wiring for such a pairing in QEMU. It also isn't possible to have the
VNC server directly talk to QEMU guest agent, since the agent chardev is
typically owned by an external mgmt app.

The current default action of pausing a guest after a panic event
is received leaves the responsibility to resume guest execution to the
management layer. The reasons for this behavior are discussed here:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/52148F88.5000509@redhat.com/
However, in instances like the case of older guests (Linux and
Windows) using a pvpanic device but missing support for the
PVPANIC_CRASHLOADED event, and Windows guests using the hv-crash
enlightenment, it is desirable to allow the guests to continue
running after sending a PVPANIC_PANICKED event. This allows such
guests to proceed to capture a crash dump and automatically reboot
without intervention of a management layer.
Add an option to avoid stopping a VM after a panic event is received,
by passing:
-action panic=none
in the command line arguments, or during runtime by using an upcoming
QMP command.

-action reboot=none|shutdown
-action shutdown=poweroff|pause
-action watchdog=reset|shutdown|poweroff|pause|debug|none|inject-nmi

The documentation for the icount documentation has some minor issues:
* in a couple of places it says "sleep=on|off" when in the context of the

* the synopsis line for the documentation has drifted out of sync
with the synopsis line in the DEF() macro (used for "-help" output)
* the synopsis line in the DEF() macro is missing a "][" between
the sleep= part and the rr= part
* the synopsis line doesn't indicate that rrsnapshot is an optional
part of the rr=mode,rrfile=filename subgrouping
* we don't document that sleep=on can't be used with shift=auto
or align=on
* the rr option description had some minor grammar and formatting
errors and was a bit terse
* in commit f1f4b57e88 in 2015 the documentation of the sleep=
suboption got added between the two paragraphs defining general
behaviour of the icount option. This meant that the second
paragraph talking about the behaviour of "this option" reads as
if it's talking about sleep=on, when it's really describing -icount
as a whole. The paragraph is better moved back up to above the
sleep= section.
* the summary text displayed in "-help" output didn't mention

Normally these information can be fetched from host smbios.
Strictly speaking, the "max speed" and "current speed" in type 4
are not really for the max speed and current speed of processor, for
"max speed" identifies a capability of the system, and "current speed"
identifies the processor's speed at boot (see smbios spec), but some

On the host OS, various aspects of TLS operation are configurable.
In particular it is possible for the sysadmin to control the TLS
cipher/protocol algorithms that applications are permitted to use.
* Any given crypto library has a built-in default priority list
defined by the distro maintainer of the library package (or by
upstream).
* The "crypto-policies" RPM (or equivalent host OS package)
provides a config file such as "/etc/crypto-policies/config",
where the sysadmin can set a high level (library-independent)
policy.
The "update-crypto-policies --set" command (or equivalent) is
used to translate the global policy to individual library
representations, producing files such as
"/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/*.config". The generated files,
if present, are loaded by the various crypto libraries to
override their own built-in defaults.
For example, the GNUTLS library may read
"/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/gnutls.config".
* A management application (or the QEMU user) may overide the
system-wide crypto-policies config via their own config, if
they need to diverge from the former.
Thus the priority order is "QEMU user config" > "crypto-policies
system config" > "library built-in config".
Introduce the "tls-cipher-suites" object for exposing the ordered
list of permitted TLS cipher suites from the host side to the
guest firmware, via fw_cfg. The list is represented as an array
of bytes.
The priority at which the host-side policy is retrieved is given
by the "priority" property of the new object type. For example,
"priority=@SYSTEM" may be used to refer to
"/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/gnutls.config" (given that QEMU
uses GNUTLS).
The firmware uses the IANA_TLS_CIPHER array for configuring
guest-side TLS, for example in UEFI HTTPS Boot.

The documentation of our -s and -gdb options is quite old; in
particular it still claims that it will cause QEMU to stop and wait
for the gdb connection, when this has not been true for some time:
you also need to pass -S if you want to make QEMU not launch the
guest on startup.
Improve the documentation to mention this requirement in the
executable's --help output, the documentation of the -gdb option in
the manual, and in the "GDB usage" chapter.
Includes some minor tweaks to these paragraphs of documentation
since I was editing them anyway (such as dropping the description
of our gdb support as "primitive").

The "compare_timeout" determines the maximum time to hold the primary net packet.
This patch expose the "compare_timeout", make user have ability to
adjest the value according to application scenarios.

Update the header comments in .hx files that mention STEXI/ETEXI
markup; this is now SRST/ERST as all these files have been
converted to rST.

We no longer generate texinfo from the hxtool input files,
so delete all the STEXI/ETEXI blocks.
This commit was created using the following Perl one-liner:
perl -i -n -e '$suppress = 1,next if /^STEXI/;$suppress=0,next if /^ETEXI/; print if !$suppress;' *.hx

This commit contains hand-written fixes for some issues with the
autogenerated rST fragments in qemu-options.hx:
* Sphinx complains about the UTF-8 art table in the documentation of
the -drive option. Replace it with a proper rST format table.
* rST does not like definition list entries with no actual
definition, but it is possible to work around this by putting a
single escaped literal space as the definition line.
* The "-g widthxheight" option documentation suffers particularly
badly from losing the distinction between italics and fixed-width
as a result of the auto conversion, so put it back in again.
* The script missed some places that use the |qemu_system| etc
macros and need to be marked up as parsed-literal blocks.
* The script autogenerated an expanded out version of the
contents of qemu-option-trace.texi; replace it with an
qemu-option-trace.rst.inc include.
This is sufficient that we can enable inclusion of the
option documentation from invocation.rst.
