2009-01-24Synch code, help and docsblueswir11-136/+168
Rearrange code, help printout and docs so that they are in the same (hopefully more logical) order for easier maintenance. Add help and docs for undocumented options. Reformat slightly for more consistent help output. Add comments to encourage better synchronization in the future. git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6432 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162

This version of the patch adds new option "werror" to -drive flag. Possible values are: report - report errors to a guest as IO errors ignore - continue as if nothing happened stop - stop VM on any error and retry last command on resume enospc - stop vm on ENOSPC error and retry last command on resume all other errors are reported to a guest.

2009-01-16Fix character devices after DisplayState refactoringaliguori1-19/+45
The DisplayState refactoring changed the machine init function to create a DisplayState for each VGA device instead of being passed an existing DisplayState. This change is critical to enable multiple graphics device support. Unfortunately, the serial/parallel/console code is structured today to run before machine init to fill out the CharDriverState table which the machine init function uses to determine whether to create the required devices. Since a 'vc' is a type of CharDriverState, the CharDriverState code requires that a DisplayState exist before it runs creating a circular dependency. To fix this, this splits the creation of the initial CharDriverState from the initialization of the text console. We can then in a second step associate a DisplayState with all TextConsoles. This allows us to create the CharDriverState's first, machine init, then associate the TextConsoles with a DisplayState. This code screams for more cleanup.

2009-01-16graphical_console_init change (Stefano Stabellini)aliguori1-62/+82
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.

2009-01-15DisplayState interface change (Stefano Stabellini)aliguori1-32/+55
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 Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6336 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162

After my last patch to fix interrupt coalescing was rejected on the basis that it is too intrusive we decided to make the fix much more localized and only fix the problem for RTC time source. Unfortunately it is impossible to fix the problem entirely inside RTC code like Andrzej proposed since Windows reads RTC register C more then once on each time interrupt so it is impossible to count reliably how many interrupt windows actually handled. Proposed solution is localized to I386 target and is disabled by default. To enable it "-rtc-td-hack" flag should be used.

2008-12-04Use writeback caching by default with qcow2aliguori1-1/+3
qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update. This causes performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback. This is most noticeable when using savevm. Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in the correct order. Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use writeback caching by default with qcow2 files.

2008-11-25Revert r5636 to fix icount on hosts w/o high-res clocksaliguori1-9/+9
Changeset r5636 changed the timers to run in the alarm callback. The alarm callback can only be called as frequently as the host alarm timer fires. For older Linux hosts and possibly non-Linux hosts, this can be as high as a 1ms granularity. icount calculates the select timeout based on the next deadline and select is usually capable of sleeping for a short period of time than alarm timer granularity. This means that changing the timer callbacks to be based on alarm firing caused timers to fire much later than they ought to when using icount.

2008-11-18gdbstub: manage CPUs as threads (Jan Kiszka)aliguori1-0/+1
This patch enhances QEMU's built-in debugger for SMP guest debugging. Using the thread support of the gdb remote protocol, each VCPU is mapped on a pseudo thread and exposed to the gdb frontend. This way you can easy switch the focus of gdb between the VCPUs and observe their states. On breakpoint hit, the focus is automatically adjusted just as for normal multi-threaded application under gdb control. Furthermore, the patch propagates breakpoint and watchpoint insertions or removals to all CPUs, not just the current one as it was the case so far. Without this, SMP guest debugging was practically unfeasible.

2008-11-05Fix windows build after init_host_timer changes.aliguori1-30/+41
host_alarm_timer fires in a separate thread. The windows build current uses SetEvent() and WaitEvent() to then notify the main thread. This is functionally equivalent to what we're doing in Unix with pipe(). So let's just #ifdef the pipe() code on Windows since it doesn't build there anyway.

2008-11-05Fix alarm_timer race with select - v3 (Jan Kiszka)aliguori1-2/+26
Changing the default IO timeout to 5 s (#5578) made a race visible between the alarm_timer and select() in main_loop_wait(): If the timer fired before select was able to block, the full select() timeout could have been applied instead of returning immediately. Since #5578, this causes heavy problems to the Musicpal board emulation with stalls up to 5 s, but also with some older Linux guest kernels. The following patch introduces a pipe that is written to by host_alarm_handler and select()'ed in main_loop_wait(). This avoids prevents that select() blocks though a timer has fired and waits for processing.
