qemu-char: Introduce Memory driver

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...

RESEND: Inter-VM shared memory PCI device

resend for bug fix related to removal of irqfd

Support an inter-vm shared memory device that maps a shared-memory object as a
PCI device in the guest. This patch also supports interrupts between guest by
communicating over a unix domain socket. This patch applies to the qemu-kvm...

Always notify consumers of char devices if they're open

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...

char: Convert qemu_chr_info() to QObject

Each device is represented by a QDict. The returned QObject is a QList
of all devices.

char: rename qemu_chr_reset to qemu_chr_generic_open

This function sends out the OPENED event to backends that
have drive the chardevs. The 'reset' is now a historical
artifact and we can now just call the function for what it
is.

char: Remove special init_reset handling

The initial_reset sent to chardevs doesn't do much other than setting
a bool to true. Char devices are interested in the open event and
that gets sent whenever the device is opened.

Moreover, the reset logic breaks as and when qemu's bh scheduling...

Revert "char: emit the OPENED event only when a new char connection is opened"

This reverts commit 6cfa64de908d67fb6f6b6e3ae4888dd863f69e44.

This breaks the monitor prompt. Proper fix will come from Amit.

char: emit the OPENED event only when a new char connection is opened

The OPENED event gets sent also when qemu resets its state initially.
The consumers of the event aren't interested in receiving this event
on reset.

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 15cc9235840a22c289edbe064a9b3c19c5f49896,...

Allow -serial chardev:<name>

Lets put -chardev into use now. With this patch applied chardev:name is
accepted as chardev specification everywhere, i.e. now you can:

-chardev stdio,id=ttyS0

which does the same as '-serial stdio"....

Recent changes to the graphical console initialization broke the initial

Move some declarations around in the QEMU CharDriver code

The goal of this series is to move the CharDriverState code out of vl.c and
into its own file, qemu-char.c. This patch moves around some declarations so
the next patch can be pure code motion.

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...
