2008-11-08Use an option rom instead of boot sector for -kernelaliguori
Generate an option rom instead of using a hijacked boot sector for kernel booting. This just requires adding a small option ROM header and a few more instructions to the boot sector to take over the int19 vector and run our boot code. A disk is no longer needed when using -kernel on x86.

2008-10-14Expand cache= option and use write-through caching by defaultaliguori
This patch changes the cache= option to accept none, writeback, or writethough to control the host page cache behavior. By default, writethrough caching is now used which internally is implemented by using O_DSYNC to open the disk images. When using -snapshot, writeback is used by default since data integrity it not at all an issue. cache=none has the same behavior as cache=off previously. The later syntax is still supported by now deprecated. I also cleaned up the O_DIRECT implementation to avoid many of the #ifdefs.

2008-10-06Add bdrv_flush_all()aliguori
This patch adds a bdrv_flush_all() function. It's necessary to ensure that all IO operations have been flushed to disk before completely a live migration. N.B. we don't actually use this now. We really should flush the block drivers using an live savevm callback to avoid unnecessary guest down time.

2008-09-22Refactor AIO to allow multiple AIO implementationsaliguori
This patch refactors the AIO layer to allow multiple AIO implementations. It's only possible because of the recent signalfd() patch. Right now, the AIO infrastructure is pretty specific to the block raw backend. For other block devices to implement AIO, the qemu_aio_wait function must support registration. This patch introduces a new function, qemu_aio_set_fd_handler, which can be used to register a file descriptor to be called back. qemu_aio_wait() now polls a set of file descriptors registered with this function until one becomes readable or writable. This patch should allow the implementation of alternative AIO backends (via a thread pool or linux-aio) and AIO backends in non-traditional block devices (like NBD).

2008-09-15Use common objects for qemu-img and qemu-nbdaliguori
Right now, we sprinkle #if defined(QEMU_IMG) && defined(QEMU_NBD) all over the code. It's ugly and causes us to have to build multiple object files for linking against qemu and the tools. This patch introduces a new file, qemu-tool.c which contains enough for qemu-img, qemu-nbd, and QEMU to all share the same objects. This also required getting qemu-nbd to be a bit more Windows friendly. I also changed the Windows block-raw to use normal IO instead of overlapping IO since we don't actually do AIO yet on Windows. I changed the various #if 0's to #if WIN32_AIO to make it easier for someone to eventually fix AIO on Windows. After this patch, there are no longer any #ifdef's related to qemu-img and qemu-nbd.

2008-09-11Only build compatfd when using AIO and make sure to always init AIOaliguori
OpenBSD doesn't use AIO so don't try to build compatfd when not using AIO. Also make sure to call qemu_aio_init() from bdrv_init. Everything that uses bdrv calls bdrv_init so it makes sense to init aio from there instead of in every single tool.

2008-09-10Use signalfd() to work around signal/select racealiguori
This patch introduces signalfd() to work around the signal/select race in checking for AIO completions. For platforms that don't support signalfd(), we emulate it with threads. There was a long discussion about this approach. I don't believe there are any fundamental problems with this approach and I believe eliminating the use of signals is a good thing. I've tested Windows and Linux using Windows and Linux guests. I've also checked for disk IO performance regressions.

2008-08-21Fix windows buildaliguori
Right now, the Windows build is broken because of NBD. Using a mingw32 cross compiler is also badly broken. This patch fixes the Windows build by stubbing out NBD support until someone fixes it for Windows. It also santizing the mingw32 cross compiler support by replacing the --enable-mingw32 option with a compiler check to determine if we're on windows or not. Also remove the weird SDL pseudo-detection for mingw32 using a cross compiler. The hardcoded sdl-config name is seemly arbitrary. If you cross compiler SDL correctly and modify your PATH variable appropriately, it will Just Work when cross compiling. The audio driver detection is also broken for cross compiling so you have to specify the audio drivers explicitly for now.
