18995b9808 Send a RARP packet after migration.
Currently, after a migration qemu sends a broadcast packet to update
switches' MAC->port mappings.

Unfortunately, it picks a random (constant) ethertype and crosses its
fingers that no one else is using it.

This patch causes it to send a RARP packet instead.  RARP was chosen for
2 reasons.  One, it is always harmless, and will continue to be so even
as new ethertypes are allocated.  Two, it is what VMware ESX sends, so
people who write filtering rules for switches already know about it.

I also changed the code to send SELF_ANNOUNCE_ROUNDS packets, instead of
SELF_ANNOUNCE_ROUNDS + 1, and added a simple backoff scheme.

72cf2d4f0e Fix sys-queue.h conflict for good
Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc923584,
f40d753718,
96555a96d7 and
3990d09adf but the fixes were fragile.

Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

supported when SaveVM v3 appeared).  Now we can't load RAM for any image saved in SaveVM v2, we can as well remove SaveVM v2 entirely.

Note: That SaveVM RAM was at v2 when General SaveVM support went from v2 to v3 makes talking about versions confusing at least

9ed7d6ae0f New VMstate save/load infrastructure
This patch introduces VMState infrastructure, to convert the save/load
functions of devices to a table approach.  This new approach has the
following advantages:
- it is type-safe
- you can't have load/save functions out of sync
- will allows us to have new interesting commands, like dump <device>, that
  shows all its internal state.
- Just now, the only added type is arrays, but we can add structures.
- Uses old load_state() function for loading old state.

First step cleaning up the drives handling.  This one does nothing but
removing drives_table[], still it became seriously big.

drive_get_index() is gone and is replaced by drives_get() which hands
out DriveInfo pointers instead of a table index.  This needs adaption in
*tons* of places all over.

0bb05eaff0 fix segfault in setting migration speed
Hi,

Whoever wrote this migrate_set_speed function is totally stupid.

Any failed or completed migration keeps its state to allow probing of
migration data, but has no associated file anymore. It is, thus,
possible to crash qemu by calling migrate_set_speed after a migration
is finished (or failed, or cancelled), but before another one starts.

This patch fixes it.

8a43b1ea7f Allow monitor interaction when using migrate -exec
All,
     I've recently been playing around with migration via exec.  Unfortunately,
when starting the incoming qemu process with "-incoming exec:cmd", it suffers
the same problem that -incoming tcp used to suffer; namely, that you can't
interact with the monitor until after the migration has happened.  This causes
problems for libvirt usage of -incoming exec, since libvirt expects to be able
to access the monitor ahead of time.  This fairly simple patch allows you to
access the monitor both before and after the migration has completed using exec.

(note: developed/tested with qemu-kvm, but applies perfectly fine to qemu)

376253ece4 monitor: Rework API (Jan Kiszka)
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.

2d22b18f77 Fix handling of disk-only snapshots (Kevin Wolf)
When creating a snapshot with multiple qcow2 disks attached, the current
behaviour is that qemu creates a disk snapshot on all of them and
chooses one to write the VM state to.

Despite having the state only in one image, loadvm tries to restore the
VM state from the middle of nowhere if you run qemu a second time with
only one of the other images attached. In the lucky case it will fail
because there simply is no state, but it also can happen that it loads
the state of a different snapshot (the one this new one is based upon).

The fix is to write a zero VM state size to the images which don't
contain the state, and check this in loadvm.

I agree that you probably have to provoke such things intentionally to
get in a state like this with qemu itself. However, with my second patch
that adds snapshot support to qemu-img it could become a reasonable use
case to have snapshots with and without VM states on the same image.

a672b4693a Split savevm code into savevm.c
This is pure code motion.  The savevm code is all common code so we can build
it once and share the object with all executables.
