block: better error message for read only format name
When user tries to use read-only whitelist format in the command line
option, failure message was "'foo' invalid format". It might be invalid
only for writable, but valid for read-only, so it is confusing. Give the
user easier to understand information.
Notice the open -g option to set bs->growable. This means you can
read/write beyond end of file. Reading beyond end of file is supposed
to produce zeroes.
We rely on this behavior in qcow2_create2() during qcow2 image
creation. We create a new file and then write the qcow2 header
structure using bdrv_pwrite(). Since QCowHeader is not a multiple of
sector size, block.c first uses bdrv_read() on the empty file to fetch
the first sector (should be all zeroes).
Here is the output from the qemu-io NBD example above:
$ qemu-io -c 'open -g nbd+unix:///?socket=/tmp/nbd.sock' -c 'read -v 0 512' 00000000: ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ................ 00000010: ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ................ 00000020: ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ab ................

of protocols is not guaranteed to work even when file creation is
supported by the protocol.

aio: stop using .io_flush()
Now that aio_poll() users check their termination condition themselves,
it is no longer necessary to call .io_flush() handlers.
The behavior of aio_poll() changes as follows:
1. .io_flush() is no longer invoked and file descriptors are *always*
monitored. Previously returning 0 from .io_flush() would skip this file
descriptor.
Due to this change it is essential to check that requests are pending
before calling qemu_aio_wait(). Failure to do so means we block, for
example, waiting for an idle iSCSI socket to become readable when there
are no requests. Currently all qemu_aio_wait()/aio_poll() callers check
before calling.
2. aio_poll() now returns true if progress was made (BH or fd handlers
executed) and false otherwise. Previously it would return true whenever
'busy', which means that .io_flush() returned true. The 'busy' concept
no longer exists so just progress is returned.
Due to this change we need to update tests/test-aio.c which asserts
aio_poll() return values. Note that QEMU doesn't actually rely on these
return values so only tests/test-aio.c cares.
Note that ctx->notifier, the EventNotifier fd used for aio_notify(), is
now handled as a special case. This is a little ugly but maintains
aio_poll() semantics, i.e. aio_notify() does not count as 'progress' and
aio_poll() avoids blocking when the user has not set any fd handlers yet.
Patches after this remove .io_flush() handler code until we can finally
drop the io_flush arguments to aio_set_fd_handler() and friends.

qemu-char: fix infinite recursion connecting to monitor pty
Since commit bd5c51e (qemu-char: don't issue CHR_EVENT_OPEN in a BH), an
infinite recursion occurs when putting the monitor on a pty (-monitor

This is because of the qemu_chr_be_event(s, CHR_EVENT_OPENED) added to
qemu_chr_be_generic_open(). This event is captured by monitor_event()
which prints a welcome message to the character device. The flush of
that welcome message retriggers another open event in pty_chr_state()
because it checks s->connected, but only sets it to 1 after calling
qemu_chr_be_generic_open().
I've fixed this by setting s->connected = 1 before the call to
qemu_chr_be_generic_open() instead of after, so that the recursive
pty_chr_state() doesn't call it again.

pc: Remove PCLMULQDQ from Westmere on pc-*-1.4 and older
Commit 41cb383f42d0cb51d8e3e25e3ecebc954dd4196f made a guest-visible
change by adding the PCLMULQDQ bit to Westmere without adding
compatibility code to keep the ABI for older machine-types.
Fix it by adding the missing compat code.
If the user is listening on '[::]', then we will not have a opened a device
yet and have no way of verifying if the device is RoCE or not.
In this case, the source VM will throw an error for ALL types of
connections (both IPv4 and IPv6) if the destination machine does not have
a regular infiniband network available for use.
The only way to gaurantee that an error is thrown for broken kernels is
for the management software to choose a *specific* interface at bind time
and validate what time of hardware it is.
Unfortunately, this puts the user in a fix:
If the source VM connects with an IPv4 address without knowing that the
destination has bound to '[::]' the migration will unconditionally fail
unless the management software is not explicitly listening on the the IPv4
address while using a RoCE-based device.
If the source VM connects with an IPv6 address, then we're OK because we can
throw an error on the source (and similarly on the destination).
But in mixed environments, this will be broken for a while until it is fixed
inside linux.
We do provide a *tiny* bit of help in mixed environments, though in this patch:
We can list all of the devices in the system and check to see if all the
devices are RoCE or Infiniband.
If we detect that we have a *pure* RoCE environment, then we can safely
thrown an error even if the management sofware has specified '[::]' as the
bind address.
However, if there is are multiple hetergeneous devices, then we cannot make
this assumption and the user just has to be sure they know what they are doing.

pc_sysfw: remove the rom_only property
With the new semantics of pc_sysfw (no -pflash implies "old-style" ROM setup,
-pflash implies "new-style" ROM setup), there is no need anymore for a compat
property. Old machines simply will never use -pflash, and thus will always
use old-style setup.
This cleans up after 9e1c2ec (which accidentally left variable
pc_sysfw_flash_vs_rom_bug_compatible behind, value always zero), and
buries dead code from commit dafb82e (which resurrected the pc_sysfw
code for pc_sysfw_flash_vs_rom_bug_compatible by mistake).
qemu-option: Guard against qemu_opts_set_defaults() misuse
Commit 6d4cd40 fixed qemu_opts_set_defaults() for an existing corner
case, but broke it for another one that can't be reached in current
code.
Quote from its commit message:
I believe [opts_parse()] attempts to do the following:
If options don't yet exist, create new options
Else, if defaults, modify the existing options
Else, if list->merge_lists, modify the existing options
Else, fail
The only caller that passes true for defaults is
qemu_opts_set_defaults().
The commit message then claims:
A straightforward call of qemu_opts_create() does exactly that.
Wrong. When !list->merge_lists, and the option string doesn't contain
id=, and options without ID exist, then we don't actually modify the
existing options, we create new ones.
Not reachable, because we never pass lists with !list->merge_lists to
qemu_opts_set_defaults().
Guard against possible (if unlikely) future misuse with assert().
