2015-07-02qapi: Rename 'dirty-bitmap' mode to 'incremental'John Snow
If we wish to make differential backups a feature that's easy to access, it might be pertinent to rename the "dirty-bitmap" mode to "incremental" to make it clear what /type/ of backup the dirty-bitmap is helping us perform. This is an API breaking change, but 2.4 has not yet gone live, so we have this flexibility.

2015-06-12migration: Use normal VMStateDescriptions for SubsectionsJuan Quintela
We create optional sections with this patch. But we already have optional subsections. Instead of having two mechanism that do the same, we can just generalize it. For subsections we just change: - Add a needed function to VMStateDescription - Remove VMStateSubsection (after removal of the needed function it is just a VMStateDescription) - Adjust the whole tree, moving the needed function to the corresponding VMStateDescription Signed-off-by: Juan Quintela <quintela@redhat.com>
2015-06-10fw_cfg: insert fw_cfg file blobs via qemu cmdlineGabriel L. Somlo
Allow user supplied files to be inserted into the fw_cfg device before starting the guest. Since fw_cfg_add_file() already disallows duplicate fw_cfg file names, qemu will exit with an error message if the user supplies multiple blobs with the same fw_cfg file name, or if a blob name collides with a fw_cfg name programmatically added from within the QEMU source code. A warning message will be printed if the fw_cfg item name does not begin with the prefix "opt/", which is recommended for external, user provided blobs.

2015-05-05qapi: Document new 'alternate' meta-typeEric Blake
The next patch will quit special-casing "'union':'Foo', 'discriminator':{}" and instead use "'alternate':'Foo'". Separating docs from implementation makes it easier to focus on wording without holding up code. In particular, making alternate a separate type makes for a nice type hierarchy: /-------- meta-type ------\ / | \ simple types alternate complex types | | | | built-in enum type(struct) union | \ / / \ numeric string simple flat A later patch will then clean up 'type' vs. 'struct' confusion.

2015-05-05qapi: Add copyright declaration on docsEric Blake
While our top-level COPYING with its GPLv2+ license applies to any documentation file that omits explicit instructions, these days it's better to be a good example of calling out our intentions. Correct use of GPL requires the use of a copyright statement, so I'm adding notice to two QAPI documents, by attributing these files to the initial authors and major contributors. I used: $ git blame --line-porcelain $file \ | sed -n 's/^author //p' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn to determine authorship of these two files. qmp-spec.txt blames entirely to Red Hat (easy, since my contribution falls in that category); while qapi-code-gen.txt has multiple contributors representing multiple entities. But since it was originally supplied by Michael Roth, the notice I added there copies the notice he has used in other files. As there is no intended change in license from the implicit one previously present from the top level, I have not bothered to CC other contributors; if we want to weaken things to something looser (such as LGPL) so that there is no question that someone re-implementing the spec is not forced to use GPL, that would be a different commit.

2015-02-02rcu: add rcu libraryPaolo Bonzini
This includes a (mangled) copy of the liburcu code. The main changes are: 1) removing dependencies on many other header files in liburcu; 2) removing for simplicity the tentative busy waiting in synchronize_rcu, which has limited performance effects; 3) replacing futexes in synchronize_rcu with QemuEvents for Win32 portability. The API is the same as liburcu, so it should be possible in the future to require liburcu on POSIX systems for example and use our copy only on Windows. Among the various versions available I chose urcu-mb, which is the least invasive implementation even though it does not have the fastest rcu_read_{lock,unlock} implementation. The urcu flavor can be changed later, after benchmarking. Reviewed-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2015-01-03pci: move REDHAT_SDHCI device ID to make room for RockerScott Feldman
The rocker device uses same PCI device ID as sdhci. Since rocker device driver has already been accepted into Linux 3.18, and REDHAT_SDHCI device ID isn't used by any drivers, it's safe to move REDHAT_SDHCI device ID, avoiding conflict with rocker.

2014-10-27aio / timers: De-document -clockMarkus Armbruster
Commit 6d32717 "aio / timers: Remove alarm timers" has issues: 1. It silently ignores -clock for backward compatibility. Incompatible change: -clock help no longer terminates the program. Tolerable. 2. Failed to update option documentation. In particular, -help still advises users to try -clock help for available timers. Drop all documentation on -clock. 3. The 'query-alarm-clock' example in docs/writing-commands.txt no longer works, and needs to be redone. Can't do that right now, so I just stick in a FIXME.

2014-10-23docs/qcow2: Limit refcount_order to [0, 6]Max Reitz
Specify the upper limit of refcount_order to be 6 (that is, refcount_bits = 64). Any larger value does not make much sense when all offsets, sizes, cluster counts etc. "only" have a width of 64 bit as well, and very large values would be very difficult to support. Therefore, just cap it at the largest reasonable value. Suggested-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
