As the block layer may decide to flush bottom-halfs while the machine is
still initializing (e.g. to read geometry data from the disk), our
postponed open event may be processed before the last frontend
registered with a muxed chardev.
Until the semantics of BHs have been clarified, use an expired timer to
achieve the same effect (suggested by Paolo Bonzini). This requires to
perform the alarm timer initialization earlier as otherwise timer
subsystem can be used before being ready.

Allow client connections for VNC and socket based character
devices to be passed in over the monitor using SCM_RIGHTS.
One intended usage scenario is to start QEMU with VNC on a
UNIX domain socket. An unprivileged user which cannot access
the UNIX domain socket, can then connect to QEMU's VNC server
by passing an open FD to libvirt, which passes it onto QEMU.
{ "execute": "get_fd", "arguments": { "fdname": "myclient" } }
{ "return": {} }
{ "execute": "add_client", "arguments": { "protocol": "vnc",
"fdname": "myclient",
"skipauth": true } }
{ "return": {} }
In this case 'protocol' can be 'vnc' or 'spice', or the name
of a character device (eg from -chardev id=XXXX)
The 'skipauth' parameter can be used to skip any configured
VNC authentication scheme, which is useful if the mgmt layer
talking to the monitor has already authenticated the client
in another way.

This driver handles in-memory chardev operations. That's, all writes
to this driver are stored in an internal buffer and it doesn't talk
to the external world in any way.
Right now it's very simple: it supports only writes. But it can be
easily extended to support more operations.
This is going to be used by the monitor's "HMP passthrough via QMP"
feature, which needs to run monitor handlers without a backing
device.

When using virtio-console on s390, the input doesn't work.
The root of the problem is rather simple. What happens is the following:
1) create character device for stdio
2) char device is done creating, sends OPENED event
3) virtio-console adds handlers
4) no event comes because the char device is open already
5) virtio-console doesn't accept input because it didn't
receive an OPENED event
To make that sure virtio-console gets notified that the character device
is open even when it's been open from the beginning, this patch introduces
a variable that keeps track of the opened state. If the device is open when
the event handlers get installed, we just notify the handler.
This fixes input with virtio-console on s390.

start switching chardevs to QemuOpts. This patch adds the
infrastructure and converts the null device.
The patch brings two new functions:
qemu_chr_open_opts()
same as qemu_chr_open(), but uses QemuOpts instead of a
option char string.
qemu_chr_parse_compat()
accepts a traditional chardev option string, returns the
corresponding QemuOpts instance, to handle backward
compatibility.
The patch also adds a new -chardev switch which can be used to create
named+unconnected chardevs, like this:
-chardev null,id=test
This uses the new qemu_chr_open_opts. Thus with this patch alone only
the null device works. The other devices will follow ...

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.

This patch makes qemu keep track of the character devices in use and
implements a "info chardev" monitor command to print a list.
qemu_chr_open() sticks the devices into a linked list now. It got a new
argument (label), so there is a name for each device. It also assigns a
filename to each character device. By default it just copyes the
filename passed in. Individual drivers can fill in something else
though. qemu_chr_open_pty() sets the filename to name of the pseudo tty
allocated.
Output looks like this:
(qemu) info chardev
monitor: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/monitor,server,nowait
serial0: filename=unix:/tmp/run.sh-26827/console,server

The direction bit in the control register should not be directly

More over setting the data pins to forward mode does not work,
perhaps a bug in the Linux PP driver. The right way to do this is
to use PPDATADIR to set the direction. The patch checks if the
user is toggling the direction bit, and invokes PPDATADIR to
do the job.
