      vduse-blk: Add name option · 779d82e1
      Xie Yongji authored 
      
Currently we use 'id' option as the name of VDUSE device.
It's a bit confusing since we use one value for two different
purposes: the ID to identfy the export within QEMU (must be
distinct from any other exports in the same QEMU process, but
can overlap with names used by other processes), and the VDUSE
name to uniquely identify it on the host (must be distinct from
other VDUSE devices on the same host, but can overlap with other
export types like NBD in the same process). To make it clear,
this patch adds a separate 'name' option to specify the VDUSE
name for the vduse-blk export instead.

      vduse-blk: Add serial option · 0862a087
      Xie Yongji authored 
      
Add a 'serial' option to allow user to specify this value
explicitly. And the default value is changed to an empty
string as what we did in "hw/block/virtio-blk.c".

      vduse-blk: Implement vduse-blk export · 2a2359b8
      Xie Yongji authored 
      
This implements a VDUSE block backends based on
the libvduse library. We can use it to export the BDSs
for both VM and container (host) usage.

The new command-line syntax is:

$ qemu-storage-daemon \
    --blockdev file,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img \
    --export vduse-blk,node-name=drive0,id=vduse-export0,writable=on

After the qemu-storage-daemon started, we need to use
the "vdpa" command to attach the device to vDPA bus:

$ vdpa dev add name vduse-export0 mgmtdev vduse

Also the device must be removed via the "vdpa" command
before we stop the qemu-storage-daemon.

      block: add more commands to preconfig mode · f55ba801
      Paolo Bonzini authored 
      
Of the block device commands, those that are available outside system
emulators do not require a fully constructed machine by definition.
Allow running them before machine initialization has concluded.

Of the ones that are available inside system emulation, allow querying
the PR managers, and setting up accounting and throttling.

      qmp: add filtering of statistics by name · cf7405bc
      Paolo Bonzini authored 
      
Allow retrieving only a subset of statistics.  This can be useful
for example in order to plot a subset of the statistics many times
a second: KVM publishes ~40 statistics for each vCPU on x86; retrieving
and serializing all of them would be useless.

Another use will be in HMP in the following patch; implementing the
filter in the backend is easy enough that it was deemed okay to make
this a public interface.

Example:

{ "execute": "query-stats",
  "arguments": {
    "target": "vcpu",
    "vcpus": [ "/machine/unattached/device[2]",
               "/machine/unattached/device[4]" ],
    "providers": [
      { "provider": "kvm",
        "names": [ "l1d_flush", "exits" ] } } }

{ "return": {
    "vcpus": [
      { "path": "/machine/unattached/device[2]"
        "providers": [
          { "provider": "kvm",
            "stats": [ { "name": "l1d_flush", "value": 41213 },
                       { "name": "exits", "value": 74291 } ] } ] },
      { "path": "/machine/unattached/device[4]"
        "providers": [
          { "provider": "kvm",
            "stats": [ { "name": "l1d_flush", "value": 16132 },
                       { "name": "exits", "value": 57922 } ] } ] } ] } }

      qmp: add filtering of statistics by provider · 068cc51d
      Paolo Bonzini authored 
      
Allow retrieving the statistics from a specific provider only.
This can be used in the future by HMP commands such as "info
sync-profile" or "info profile".  The next patch also adds
filter-by-provider capabilities to the HMP equivalent of
query-stats, "info stats".

Example:

{ "execute": "query-stats",
  "arguments": {
    "target": "vm",
    "providers": [
      { "provider": "kvm" } ] } }

The QAPI is a bit more verbose than just a list of StatsProvider,
so that it can be subsequently extended with filtering of statistics
by name.

If a provider is specified more than once in the filter, each request
will be included separately in the output.

Introduce a simple filtering of statistics, that allows to retrieve
statistics for a subset of the guest vCPUs.  This will be used for
example by the HMP monitor, in order to retrieve the statistics
for the currently selected CPU.

Example:
{ "execute": "query-stats",
  "arguments": {
    "target": "vcpu",
    "vcpus": [ "/machine/unattached/device[2]",

      qmp: Support for querying stats · b9f88dc0
      Mark Kanda authored 
      
Gathering statistics is important for development, for monitoring and
for performance measurement.  There are tools such as kvm_stat that do
this and they rely on the _user_ knowing the interesting data points
rather than the tool (which can treat them as opaque).

The commands introduced in this commit introduce QMP support for
querying stats; the goal is to take the capabilities of these tools
and making them available throughout the whole virtualization stack,
so that one can observe, monitor and measure virtual machines without
having shell access + root on the host that runs them.

query-stats returns a list of all stats per target type (only VM
and vCPU to start); future commits add extra options for specifying
stat names, vCPU qom paths, and providers.  All these are used by the
HMP command "info stats".  Because of the development usecases around
statistics, a good HMP interface is important.

query-stats-schemas returns a list of stats included in each target
type, with an option for specifying the provider.  The concepts in the
schema are based on the KVM binary stats' own introspection data, just
translated to QAPI.

There are two reasons to have a separate schema that is not tied to
the QAPI schema.  The first is the contents of the schemas: the new
introspection data provides different information than the QAPI data,
namely unit of measurement, how the numbers are gathered and change
(peak/instant/cumulative/histogram), and histogram bucket sizes.
There's really no reason to have this kind of metadata in the QAPI
introspection schema (except possibly for the unit of measure, but
there's a very weak justification).

Another reason is the dynamicity of the schema.  The QAPI introspection
data is very much static; and while QOM is somewhat more dynamic,
generally we consider that to be a bug rather than a feature these days.
On the other hand, the statistics that are exposed by QEMU might be
passed through from another source, such as KVM, and the disadvantages of
manually updating the QAPI schema for outweight the benefits from vetting
the statistics and filtering out anything that seems "too unstable".
Running old QEMU with new kernel is a supported usecase; if old QEMU
cannot expose statistics from a new kernel, or if a kernel developer
needs to change QEMU before gathering new info from the new kernel,
then that is a poor user interface.

The framework provides a method to register callbacks for these QMP
commands.  Most of the work in fact is done by the callbacks, and a
large majority of this patch is new QAPI structs and commands.

Examples (with KVM stats):

- Query all VM stats:

{ "execute": "query-stats", "arguments" : { "target": "vm" } }

{ "return": [
     { "provider": "kvm",
       "stats": [
          { "name": "max_mmu_page_hash_collisions", "value": 0 },
          { "name": "max_mmu_rmap_size", "value": 0 },
          { "name": "nx_lpage_splits", "value": 148 },
          ... ] },
     { "provider": "xyz",
       "stats": [ ... ] }
] }

- Query all vCPU stats:

{ "execute": "query-stats", "arguments" : { "target": "vcpu" } }

{ "return": [
     { "provider": "kvm",
       "qom_path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]"
       "stats": [
          { "name": "guest_mode", "value": 0 },
          { "name": "directed_yield_successful", "value": 0 },
          { "name": "directed_yield_attempted", "value": 106 },
          ... ] },
     { "provider": "kvm",
       "qom_path": "/machine/unattached/device[1]"
       "stats": [
          { "name": "guest_mode", "value": 0 },
          { "name": "directed_yield_successful", "value": 0 },
          { "name": "directed_yield_attempted", "value": 106 },
          ... ] },
] }

- Retrieve the schemas:

{ "execute": "query-stats-schemas" }

{ "return": [
    { "provider": "kvm",
      "target": "vcpu",
      "stats": [
         { "name": "guest_mode",
           "unit": "none",
           "base": 10,
           "exponent": 0,
           "type": "instant" },
        { "name": "directed_yield_successful",
           "unit": "none",
           "base": 10,
           "exponent": 0,
           "type": "cumulative" },
        ... ]
    },
    { "provider": "kvm",
      "target": "vm",
      "stats": [
        { "name": "max_mmu_page_hash_collisions",
           "unit": "none",
           "base": 10,
           "exponent": 0,
           "type": "peak" },
        ... ]
    },
    { "provider": "xyz",
      "target": "vm",
      "stats": [ ... ]
    }
] }

      ui: Switch "-display sdl" to use the QAPI parser · 9eafdeea
      Thomas Huth authored 
      
The "-display sdl" option still uses a hand-crafted parser for its
parameters since we didn't want to drag an interface we considered
somewhat flawed into the QAPI schema. Since the flaws are gone now,
it's time to QAPIfy.

This introduces the new "DisplaySDL" QAPI struct that is used to hold
the parameters that are unique to the SDL display. The only specific
parameter is currently "grab-mod" that is used to specify the required
modifier keys to escape from the mouse grabbing mode.
