  • Fix character devices after DisplayState refactoring ...
    2796dae0 
    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.

  • graphical_console_init change (Stefano Stabellini) ...
    3023f332 
    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.
Apart from these cases, the rest are all mechanical substitutions.

  • DisplayState interface change (Stefano Stabellini) ...
    7d957bd8 
    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

  • Clean up debugging code #ifdefs (Eduardo Habkost) ...
    d12d51d5 
    Use macros to avoid #ifdefs on debugging code.

This patch doesn't try to merge logging macros from different files,
but just unify the debugging code #ifdefs onto a macro on each file. A
further cleanup can unify the debugging macros on a common header, later

  • add a -vga none cli option (Stefano Stabellini) ...
    c2b3b41a 
    currently there is no way to fully disable any graphic card device for
the PC architecture.
You can have no graphical output, thanks to -nographic, but you would
have the VGA device connected to your PCI bus anyway.
There is already a convenient -vga option to choose between std, cirrus
and vmware; this patch add the new option "none" to select no graphic
card at all.

  • Add -rtc-td-hack option to fix time drift with RTC on Windows (Gleb Natapov) ...
    73822ec8 
    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.

  • Use writeback caching by default with qcow2 ...
    4dc822d7 
    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.

It at least avoids the massive performance regression for users until we sort
out the issues in qcow2.

  • Revert r5636 to fix icount on hosts w/o high-res clocks ...
    357c692c 
    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.

  • gdbstub: manage CPUs as threads (Jan Kiszka) ...
    880a7578 
    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.
