2012-09-05qapi: convert sendkeyAmos Kong1-0/+20
Convert 'sendkey' to use QAPI. QAPI passes key's index of mapping table to qmp_send_key(), not keycode. So we use help functions to convert key/code to index of key_defs, and 'index' will be converted to 'keycode' inside qmp_send_key(). For qmp, QAPI would check invalid key and raise error. For hmp, invalid key is checked in hmp_send_key(). 'send-key' of QMP doesn't support key in hexadecimal format.

2012-09-05spice: add 'migrated' flag to spice infoYonit Halperin1-1/+4
The flag is 'true' when spice migration has completed on the src side. It is needed for a case where libvirt dies before migration completes and it misses the event QEVENT_SPICE_MIGRATE_COMPLETED. When libvirt is restored and queries the migration status, it also needs to query spice and check if its migration has completed.

2012-08-15qapi: Introduce add-fd, remove-fd, query-fdsetsCorey Bryant1-0/+98
This patch adds support that enables passing of file descriptors to the QEMU monitor where they will be stored in specified file descriptor sets. A file descriptor set can be used by a client like libvirt to store file descriptors for the same file. This allows the client to open a file with different access modes (O_RDWR, O_WRONLY, O_RDONLY) and add/remove the passed fds to/from an fd set as needed. This will allow QEMU to (in a later patch in this series) "open" and "reopen" the same file by dup()ing the fd in the fd set that corresponds to the file, where the fd has the matching access mode flag that QEMU requests. The new QMP commands are: add-fd: Add a file descriptor to an fd set remove-fd: Remove a file descriptor from an fd set query-fdsets: Return information describing all fd sets Note: These commands are not compatible with the existing getfd and closefd QMP commands.

2012-08-13qmp: switch to the new error format on the wireLuiz Capitulino1-55/+0
IMPORTANT: this BREAKS QMP's compatibility for the error response. This commit changes QMP's wire protocol to make use of the simpler error format introduced by previous commits. There are two important (and mostly incompatible) changes: 1. Almost all error classes have been replaced by GenericError. The only classes that are still supported for compatibility with libvirt are: CommandNotFound, DeviceNotActive, KVMMissingCap, DeviceNotFound and MigrationExpected 2. The 'data' field of the error dictionary is gone As an example, an error response like: { "error": { "class": "DeviceNotRemovable", "data": { "device": "virtio0" }, "desc": "Device 'virtio0' is not removable" } } Will now be emitted as: { "error": { "class": "GenericError", "desc": "Device 'virtio0' is not removable" } } Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

This is not a full QAPI conversion, but an intermediate step. In essence, do_netdev_add() is split into three functions: 1. netdev_add(): performs the actual work. This function is fully converted to Error (thus, it's "qapi-friendly") 2. qmp_netdev_add(): the QMP front-end for netdev_add(). This is coded by hand and not auto-generated (gen=no in the schema). The reason for this it's a lot easier and simpler to with QemuOpts this way 3. hmp_netdev_add(): HMP front-end. This design was suggested by Paolo Bonzini.

2012-06-04introduce a new monitor command 'dump-guest-memory' to dump guest's memoryWen Congyang1-0/+43
The command's usage: dump-guest-memory [-p] protocol [begin] [length] The supported protocol can be file or fd: 1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following string is the file's path. 2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string is the fd's name. Note: 1. If you want to use gdb to process the core, please specify -p option. The reason why the -p option is not default is: a. guest machine in a catastrophic state can have corrupted memory, which we cannot trust. b. The guest machine can be in read-mode even if paging is enabled. For example: the guest machine uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep state goes in real-mode. 2. If you don't want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start physical address and the length.

2012-05-08runstate: introduce suspended stateLuiz Capitulino1-1/+3
QEMU enters in this state when the guest suspends to ram (S3). This is important so that HMP users and QMP clients can know that the guest is suspended. QMP also has an event for this, but events are not reliable and are limited (ie. a client can connect to QEMU after the event has been emitted). Having a different state for S3 brings a new issue, though. Every device that doesn't run when the VM is stopped but wants to run when the VM is suspended has to check for RUN_STATE_SUSPENDED explicitly. This is the case for the keyboard and mouse devices, for example. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Acked-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>

2012-04-23qmp: make block job command naming consistentStefan Hajnoczi1-7/+8
The block streaming and job commands used '_' instead of '-' for reasons of compatibility with libvirt, which already included support for the '_' naming. However, the semantics of block_job_cancel have changed and libvirt now needs to handle the new semantics. Since the old semantics were never in a QEMU release we can still rename the commands to use '-' instead of '_'. Libvirt is also happy because the new name can be used to distinguish QEMU binaries that support the latest block-job-cancel semantics from those that include a downstream block_job_cancel command. Therefore, let's apply the QAPI/QMP naming rules to the block streaming and job commands. QEMU 1.1 will be the first release with these commands so no upstream users can break. Note that HMP commands are left with '_' because that is the convention there.

2012-03-15qapi: Convert migrateLuiz Capitulino1-0/+21
The migrate command is one of those commands where HMP and QMP completely mix up together. This made the conversion to the QAPI (which separates the command into QMP and HMP parts) a bit difficult. The first important change to be noticed is that this commit completes the removal of the Monitor object from migration code, started by the previous commit. Another important and tricky change is about supporting the non-detached mode. That is, if the user doesn't pass '-d' the migrate command will lock the monitor and will only release it when migration is finished. To support this in the new HMP command (hmp_migrate()), it is necessary to create a timer which runs every second and checks if the migration is still active. If it is, the timer callback will re-schedule itself to run one second in the future. If the migration has already finished, the monitor lock is released and the user can use it normally. All these changes should be transparent to the user. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>
