The goal is to enable the monitor to run independently of whether the machine
has been created such that the monitor can be used to specify all of the
parameters for machine initialization.

I agree that it is one step in the right direction, but we are still
calling qemu_machine_init() before calling the main_loop().

What is the plan from here?

1) Decouple QMP from qemu_machine_init().  This really requires the 
introduction of the new QAPI server that exists outside of the chardev 
infrastructure since chardevs are currently initialized in 
qemu_machine_init().

2) Make qemu_machine_init() take no parameters and just reference global 
state.

3) Teach all QMP functions to behave themselves if called before 
qemu_machine_init()

4) Introduce QMP function to call qemu_machine_init()

5) Introduce new command line flag to not automatically call 
qemu_machine_init()

6) Convert all command line options to just be QMP function calls

(6) can be started right now.  (1) comes with the QAPI merge.  (2) is 
pretty easy to do after applying this patch.  (3) is probably something 
that can be done shortly after (1).  (4) and (5) really require 
everything but (6) to be in place before we can meaningful do it.

I think we can lay out much of the ground work for this in 0.15 and I 
think we can have a total conversion realistically for 0.16.  That means 
that by EOY, we could invoke QEMU with no options and do everything 
through QMP.

Somewhere in all of this, we need to fit in a stateful (non-)config file 
too IMHO.

Any good idea how that global state is going to be stored?

I just want to be able to launch a qemu on a different machine and
migrate the "configuration" to it, for doing that, I really need what
values are different from default or anything like that.  So as you can
see, I am very interested on that work.

Later, Juan.

First step is to have everything go through QMP.  If everything flows 
through QMP, we have a gateway that we can focus on.

What I'd like to do next is introduce the notion of a stateful config 
file.  This config file is essentially a global database that can be 
used to store information about the guest from within QEMU.

So -name would become:

case QEMU_OPTION_name:
     qmp_set_name(optarg, NULL);
     break;
}

And qmp_set_name woudl be implemented as:

static const char *qemu_name;

void qmp_set_name(const char *name, Error **errp)
{
       qemu_name = name;
}

char *qmp_query_name(Error **errp)
{
      return qemu_strdup(qemu_name);
}

Now, to integrate this into the stateful config file, we would do 
something like:

void qmp_set_name(const char *name, Error **errp)
{
      qemu_set_config("global", "name", name);
}

char *qmp_query_name(Error **errp)
{
      return qemu_strdup(qemu_get_config("global", "name"));
}

This is a simplistic example and more complex examples have not been 
totally thought out, but this is where I'm looking to go.

Any chance of reusing info qtree, QemuOpts, or other existing
infrastructure for the config file?

Config file set/get/format code tends to be just toggling variables
and manipulating strings.  There is similarity here with the option
parsing and qdev properties.

I'm nowhere near implementation details like that.  I'm still trying to

Is it really necessary?  What's blocking us from initializing chardevs 
early?

It would be a pity to divorce the monitor from chardevs, they're really 
flexible.

An alternative is to remove all guest-visible content from 
qemu_machine_init().  So machine->init() would take no parameters and 
only build the static devices (power supply?).  Everything else would be 
hot-plugged (perhaps some would fail if the machine was started - 
cold-plug only).

It's something that I've agitated for a long while, but when I see all 
the work needed, I'm not sure it's cost effective.

Well....

We initialize all chardevs at once right now and what set of chardevs 
there are depends on the machine (by the way defaults are applied).  You 
could initialize chardevs in two stages although that requires quite a 
bit of additional complexity.

>

Couple considerations:

1) chardevs don't support multiple simultaneous connections.  I view 
this as a blocker for QMP.

2) Because chardevs don't support multiple connections, we can't 
reasonably hook on things like connect/disconnect which means that fd's 
sent via SCM_RIGHTs have to be handled in a very special way.  By going 
outside of the chardev layer, we can let fd's via SCM_RIGHTS queue up 
naturally and have getfd/setfd refer to the fd at the top of the queue.  
It makes it quite a bit easier to work with (I believe Daniel had 
actually requested this a while ago).

3) By treating QMP as a special case, we don't have to treat chardevs 
overall as a special case.  This feels more right to me although I can't 
say I have a strong opinion formed yet.

All that qemu_machine_init() is is guest-visible content.  That's the 
point of refactoring this.

There's a lot of secondary benefits that come from doing this.  QMP 
becomes a much stronger interface.  A lot of operations that right now 
are only specifiable by the command line become dynamic which mitigates 
reboots in the long term.  It also lays the ground work for a fully 
decoupled device model whereas the only interface between the devices 
and the outside world is a subset of QMP (think seccomp()).

Whether creating a machine with no command line options is high value is 
probably irrelevant.  I think we want to go in this direction regardless.

qemu_machine_init() would mix host state initialization and machine
initialization. I'd make instead two functions, qemu_host_init() and
qemu_machine_init(). For example parameters snapshot, tb_size,
gdbstub_dev, (maybe also loadvm and incoming if handled elsewhere) do
not change how the machine is initialized. Also KVM, drive, chardev
and display init should go to qemu_host_init() if possible.

We could initialize chardevs on demand - that should resolve any

What do you mean by that?   Something like ,server which keeps on

I really don't follow... what's the connection between SCM_RIGHTS and 
multiple connections?

Sorry, poorly phrased.  Configurable guest visible content.

Only the hot-pluggable ones.

I think that potentially screws up the way -global works.  There's some 
deep black magic involved in how -global, defaults, and device 
initialization interact.

,server won't allow multiple simultaneous connections.  CharDriverStates 
simply don't have a connection semantic.  There can only be one thing 
connected to it at a time.  This is why we don't use CharDriverState for 
VNC.

We should have another abstraction for connection based backend.  I'll 
take a go at this when I'm ready to try to get those patches in.

Just to be clear though, there is a CharDriverState version of the new 
QMP server.  This would be a second option for creating a QMP server and 
it takes a different command line sytnax.

Monitors have a single fd.  That fd is associated with the monitor and 
lives beyond the length of the connection to the monitor (recall that 
chardevs don't have a notion of connection life cycle).  This means if a 
management tool forgets to do a closefd on an unused fd, there's no easy 
way for QEMU to automatically clean that up.  IOW, a crashed management 
tool == fd leak in QEMU.

Yup, but it forces us to treat options that cannot change at runtime as 
special cases which I think is a nice plus.  Customers don't like having 
their guests rebooted during a scheduled downtime so we really ought to 
try to have as many things tunable at runtime as possible.

I meant an extension to ,server that keeps on listening.

Shouldn't each new connection return a chardev?

I guess we could add a close() event to chardev?

You would need a kind of "factory" interface that knows how to create a 
new {monitor,serial port,you name it} for each new connection.  Actually 
it doesn't make much sense except for monitors.

Monitors and vnc.

True, but vnc is not a chardev and it probably wouldn't make much sense 
for it to be one.  Actually, it may make some sense for virtio-serial...

VNC also does it's own buffering when reading and writing to a file 
descriptor.  The chardev layer doesn't really have a concept of flow 
control.
