Alexander Graf 1b01b4e717 Only build ivshmem when CONFIG_PCI && CONFIG_KVM
The ivshmem depends on PCI and KVM, not only KVM. Reflect this
in the Makefile, so we don't get build errors on s390x.

David Gibson b5cec4c5f2 Implement the PAPR (pSeries) virtualized interrupt controller (xics)
PAPR defines an interrupt control architecture which is logically divided
into ICS (Interrupt Control Presentation, each unit is responsible for
presenting interrupts to a particular "interrupt server", i.e. CPU) and
ICS (Interrupt Control Source, each unit responsible for one or more
hardware interrupts as numbered globally across the system).  All PAPR
virtual IO devices expect to deliver interrupts via this mechanism.  In
Linux, this interrupt controller system is handled by the "xics" driver.

On pSeries systems, access to the interrupt controller is virtualized via
hypercalls and RTAS methods.  However, the virtualized interface is very
similar to the underlying interrupt controller hardware, and similar PICs
exist un-virtualized in some other systems.

This patch implements both the ICP and ICS sides of the PAPR interrupt
controller.  For now, only the hypercall virtualized interface is provided,
however it would be relatively straightforward to graft an emulated
register interface onto the underlying interrupt logic if we want to add
a machine with a hardware ICS/ICP system in the future.

There are some limitations in this implementation: it is assumed for now
that only one instance of the ICS exists, although a full xics system can
have several, each responsible for a different group of hardware irqs.
ICP/ICS can handle both level-sensitve (LSI) and message signalled (MSI)
interrupt inputs.  For now, this implementation supports only MSI
interrupts, since that is used by PAPR virtual IO devices.

David Gibson 39ac845510 Implement hcall based RTAS for pSeries machines
On pSeries machines, operating systems can instantiate "RTAS" (Run-Time
Abstraction Services), a runtime component of the firmware which implements
a number of low-level, infrequently used operations.  On logical partitions
under a hypervisor, many of the RTAS functions require hypervisor
privilege.  For simplicity, therefore, hypervisor systems typically
implement the in-partition RTAS as just a tiny wrapper around a hypercall
which actually implements the various RTAS functions.

This patch implements such a hypercall based RTAS for our emulated pSeries
machine.  A tiny in-partition "firmware" calls a new hypercall, which
looks up available RTAS services in a table.

David Gibson 9fdf0c2995 Start implementing pSeries logical partition machine
This patch adds a "pseries" machine to qemu.  This aims to emulate a
logical partition on an IBM pSeries machine, compliant to the
"PowerPC Architecture Platform Requirements" (PAPR) document.

This initial version is quite limited, it implements a basic machine
and PAPR hypercall emulation.  So far only one hypercall is present -
H_PUT_TERM_CHAR - so that a (write-only) console is available.

Multiple CPUs are permitted, with SMP entry handled kexec() style.

The machine so far more resembles an old POWER4 style "full system
partition" rather than a modern LPAR, in that the guest manages the
page tables directly, rather than via hypercalls.

The machine requires qemu to be configured with --enable-fdt.  The
machine can (so far) only be booted with -kernel - i.e. no partition
firmware is provided.

Gerd Hoffmann a19cbfb346 spice: add qxl device
qxl is a paravirtual graphics card.  The qxl device is the bridge
between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server).  The
spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which
will actually render them.

The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case
the guest wants read something from video memory.  Local rendering is
also used to support display over vnc and sdl.

qxl is activated using "-vga qxl".  qxl supports multihead, additional
cards can be added via '-device qxl".

Stefan Hajnoczi 94a420b170 trace: Add trace-events file for declaring trace events
This patch introduces the trace-events file where trace events can be
declared like so:

qemu_malloc(size_t size) "size %zu"
qemu_free(void *ptr) "ptr %p"

These trace event declarations are processed by a new tool called
tracetool to generate code for the trace events.  Trace event
declarations are independent of the backend tracing system (LTTng User
Space Tracing, ftrace markers, DTrace).

The default "nop" backend generates empty trace event functions.
Therefore trace events are disabled by default.

The trace-events file serves two purposes:

1. Adding trace events is easy.  It is not necessary to understand the
   details of a backend tracing system.  The trace-events file is a
   single location where trace events can be declared without code
   duplication.

2. QEMU is not tightly coupled to one particular backend tracing system.
   In order to support tracing across QEMU host platforms and to
   anticipate new backend tracing systems that are currently maturing,
   it is important to be flexible and not tied to one system.

Corentin Chary efe556adb7 vnc: tight add PNG encoding
Introduce a new encoding: VNC_ENCODING_TIGHT_PNG [1] (-269) with a new
tight filter VNC_TIGHT_PNG (0x0A). When the client tells it supports the Tight PNG
encoding, the server will use tight, but will always send encoding pixels using
PNG instead of zlib. If the client also told it support JPEG, then the server can
send JPEG, because PNG will only be used in the cases zlib was used in normal tight.

This encoding was introduced to speed up HTML5 based VNC clients like noVNC [2], but
can also be used on devices like iPhone where PNG can be rendered in hardware.

Corentin Chary 2f6f5c7a00 vnc: tight: add JPEG and gradient subencoding with smooth image detection
Add gradient filter and JPEG compression with an heuristic to detect how
lossy the comppression will be. This code has been adapted from
libvncserver/tight.c.

JPEG support can be enabled/disabled at compile time with --enable-vnc-jpeg
and --disable-vnc-jpeg.
