2012-03-12qemu-ga: add guest-sync-delimitedMichael Roth
guest-sync leaves it as an exercise to the user as to how to reliably obtain the response to guest-sync if the client had previously read in a partial response (due qemu-ga previously being restarted mid-"sentence" due to reboot, forced restart, etc). qemu-ga handles this situation on its end by having a client precede their guest-sync request with a 0xFF byte (invalid UTF-8), which qemu-ga/QEMU JSON parsers will treat as a flush event. Thus we can reliably flush the qemu-ga parser state in preparation for receiving the guest-sync request. guest-sync-delimited provides the same functionality for a client: when a guest-sync-delimited is issued, qemu-ga will precede it's response with a 0xFF byte that the client can use as an indicator to flush its buffer/parser state in preparation for reliably receiving the guest-sync-delimited response. It is also useful as an optimization for clients, since, after issuing a guest-sync-delimited, clients can safely discard all stale data read from the channel until the 0xFF is found.

2012-02-23qemu-ga: separate out common commands from posix-specific onesMichael Roth
Many of the current RPC implementations are very much POSIX-specific and require complete re-writes for Windows. There are however a small set of core guest agent commands that are common to both, and other commands such as guest-file-* which *may* be portable. So we introduce commands.c for the latter, and will rename guest-agent-commands.c to commands-posix.c in a future commit. Windows implementations will go in commands-win32.c, eventually.
2012-02-23qemu-ga: move channel/transport functionality into wrapper classMichael Roth
This is mostly in preparation for the win32 port, which won't use GIO channels for reasons that will be made clearer later. Here the GAChannel class is just a loose wrapper around GIOChannel calls/callbacks, but we also roll in the logic/configuration for various channel types and managing unix socket connections, which makes the abstraction much more complete and further aids in the win32 port since isa-serial/unix-listen will not be supported initially. There's also a bit of refactoring in the main logic to consolidate the exit paths so we can do common cleanup for things like pid files, which weren't always cleaned up previously.
2011-07-21guest agent: add guest agent RPCs/commandsMichael Roth
This adds the initial set of QMP/QAPI commands provided by the guest agent: guest-sync guest-ping guest-info guest-shutdown guest-file-open guest-file-read guest-file-write guest-file-seek guest-file-flush guest-file-close guest-fsfreeze-freeze guest-fsfreeze-thaw guest-fsfreeze-status The input/output specification for these commands are documented in the schema. Example usage: host: qemu -device virtio-serial \ -chardev socket,path=/tmp/vs0.sock,server,nowait,id=qga0 \ -device virtserialport,chardev=qga0,name=org.qemu.quest_agent.0 ... echo "{'execute':'guest-info'}" | socat stdio unix-connect:/tmp/qga0.sock guest: qemu-ga -m virtio-serial -p /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0 \ -p /var/run/qemu-guest-agent.pid -d Signed-off-by: Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@gmail.com>
2011-07-21guest agent: qemu-ga daemonMichael Roth
This is the actual guest daemon, it listens for requests over a virtio-serial/isa-serial/unix socket channel and routes them through to dispatch routines, and writes the results back to the channel in a manner similar to QMP. A shorthand invocation: qemu-ga -d Is equivalent to: qemu-ga -m virtio-serial -p /dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest_agent.0 \ -f /var/run/qemu-ga.pid -d Signed-off-by: Michael Roth <mdroth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@gmail.com>
