2009-12-03QMP: Introduce basic asynchronous eventsLuiz Capitulino
Debug, shutdown, reset, powerdown and stop are all basic events, as they are very simple they can be added in the same commit. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-12-03QMP: Asynchronous events infrastructureLuiz Capitulino
Asynchronous events are generated with a call to monitor_protocol_event(). This function builds the right data-type and emit the event right away. The emitted data is always a JSON object and its format is as follows: { "event": json-string, "timestamp": { "seconds": json-number, "microseconds": json-number }, "data": json-value } This design is based on ideas by Amit Shah <amit.shah@redhat.com>.

2009-12-03monitor: Command-line flag to enable control modeLuiz Capitulino
This commit adds a flag called 'control' to the '-monitor' command-line option. This flag enables control mode. The syntax is: qemu [...] -monitor control,<device> Where <device> is a chardev (excluding 'vc', for obvious reasons). For example: $ qemu [...] -monitor control,tcp:localhost:4444,server Will run QEMU in control mode, waiting for a client TCP connection on localhost port 4444. NOTE: I've tried using QemuOpts for this, but turns out that it will try to parse the device part, which should be untouched.

2009-12-03monitor: Introduce MONITOR_USE_CONTROL flagLuiz Capitulino
This flag will be set when Monitor enters "control mode", in which the output will be defined by the QEMU Monitor Protocol. This also introduces a macro to check if the flag is set. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
2009-09-04monitor: Export QDict headerLuiz Capitulino
Command handlers will have to use QDict functions, so export qdict.h through monitor.h. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>

2009-03-05monitor: Introduce MONITOR_USE_READLINE flag (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
This allows to create monitor terminals that do not make use of the interactive readline back-end but rather send complete commands. The pass-through monitor interface of the gdbstub will be an example.

2009-03-05monitor: Decouple terminals (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
Currently all registered (and activate) monitor terminals work in broadcast mode: Everyone sees what someone else types on some other terminal and what the monitor reports back. This model is broken when you have a management monitor terminal that is automatically operated and some other terminal used for independent guest inspection. Such additional terminals can be multiplexed device channels or a gdb frontend connected to QEMU's stub. Therefore, this patch decouples the buffers and states of all monitor terminals, allowing the user to operate them independently. It finally starts to use the 'mon' parameter that was introduced earlier with the API rework. It also defines the default monitor: the first instantance that has the MONITOR_IS_DEFAULT flag set, and that is the monitor created via the "-monitor" command line switch (or "vc" if none is given). As the patch requires to rework the monitor suspension interface, it also takes the freedom to make it "truely" suspending (so far suspending meant suppressing the prompt, but inputs were still processed).

2009-03-05monitor: Drop banner hiding (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
There is no use for the hide/show banner option, and it is applied inconsistently anyway (or what makes the difference between -serial mon:stdio and -nographic for the monitor?). So drop this mode.

2009-03-05monitor: Rework API (Jan Kiszka)aliguori
Refactor the monitor API and prepare it for decoupled terminals: term_print functions are renamed to monitor_* and all monitor services gain a new parameter (mon) that will once refer to the monitor instance the output is supposed to appear on. However, the argument remains unused for now. All monitor command callbacks are also extended by a mon parameter so that command handlers are able to pass an appropriate reference to monitor output services. For the case that monitor outputs so far happen without clearly identifiable context, the global variable cur_mon is introduced that shall once provide a pointer either to the current active monitor (while processing commands) or to the default one. On the mid or long term, those use case will be obsoleted so that this variable can be removed again. Due to the broad usage of the monitor interface, this patch mostly deals with converting users of the monitor API. A few of them are already extended to pass 'mon' from the command handler further down to internal functions that invoke monitor_printf. At this chance, monitor-related prototypes are moved from console.h to a new monitor.h. The same is done for the readline API.
