It supports two modes: "hibernate" (which corresponds to S4) and
"sleep" (which corresponds to S3). It will try to execute the
pm-hibernate or pm-suspend scripts, if the scripts don't exist
the command will try to suspend by directly writing to the
"/sys/power/state" file.

An interesting implementation detail is how to cleanup the child's
status on termination, so that we don't create zombies. I've
choosen to ignore the SIGCHLD signal. This will cause the kernel to
automatically cleanup the child's status on its termination.

I've tested this w/o any virtio driver, as they don't support S4 yet. For
S4 it seems to work ok. I couldn't fully test S3 because we lack a way to
resume from it, but by checking the logs it seems to work fine.

changelog
---------

v2

o Rename the command to 'guest-suspend'
o Add 'mode' parameter
o Use pm-utils scripts
o Cleanup child termination status

One downside to blocking SIGCHLD is it can screw with child processes 
that utilize it. `sudo` for instance will just hang indefinitely because 
it handles it's own cleanup via SIGCHLD, we might run into similar cases 
with various pm-hibernate/pm-suspend implementations as well.

This will also screw with anything we launch via guest-exec as well, 
once that goes in.

I wonder if we can tie the qemu_add_child_watch() stuff into qemu-ga's 
main loop, or maybe just implement something similar...

Basically:

  - add a qemu-ga.c:signal_channel_add() that creates a non-blocking 
pipe and associate the read-side with a GIOChannel, then ties the 
channel into the main loop via g_io_add_watch() on qemu-ga startup, with 
an associated callback that reads everything off the pipe, then iterates 
through a list of registered pids and does a non-blocking wait(pid, ...) 
on each.

  - add a SIGCHLD handler that writes a 1 to the write side of the pipe 
whenever it gets called

Then, when creating a child, you just register the child by adding the 
pid to the list that the signal channel callback checks.

'suspend' is generally associated with sleep, so maybe we should make 
the mode optional and default to 'sleep'?

I'd be surprised to find any distros where this isn't the case, but for 
situations where the scripts aren't in /usr/sbin, maybe we'd be better 
off just passing the command name to execlp() and letting it do the 
search via PATH? The normal use case is that qemu-ga will get launched 
as a service, so PATH should have the good stuff.

Standard pm-utils in Linux supports three ways to suspend these
days, suspend, hibernate & suspend-hybrid. libvirt supports
all 3 modes in our recently added API for suspending the physical
host, so I think we'll want to also have all 3 for suspending
guests too.

[quote pm-suspend(8)]
       pm-suspend
           During suspend most devices are shutdown, and
           system state is saved in RAM. The system still
           requires power in this state. Most modern systems
           require 3 to 5 seconds to enter and leave suspend,
           and most laptops can stay in suspend mode for 1 to
           3 days before exhausting their battery.

       pm-hibernate
           During hibernate the system is fully powered off,
           and system state is saved to disk. The system does
           not require power, and can stay in hibernate mode
           indefinitely. Most modern systems require 15 to 45
           seconds to enter and leave hibernate, and entering
           and leaving hibernate takes longer when you have
           more memory.

       pm-suspend-hybrid
           Hybrid-suspend is the process where the system does
           everything it needs to hibernate, but suspends
           instead of shutting down. This means that your
           computer can wake up quicker than for normal
           hibernation if you do not run out of power, and you
           can resume even if you run out of power. s2both(8)
           is an hybrid-suspend implementation.

Here you'd just add pm-suspend-hybrid too

Is the pipe really needed? Is there any side effect if we call waitpid()
from the signal handler considering it won't block?

I'm also wondering if we could use g_child_watch_add(), but it's not clear
to me if it works with processes not created with g_spawn_*() functions.

I'm not sure I like having defaults because we're choosing for the client.
If this were a human interface then it would make sense, but for a machine
one I don't think it does. Besides we don't seem to have a way to resume
from S3 so we're probably going to get reports about this command not working
(and that reminds me to add a note about that in the doc).

Ok, I'll make that change.

True, defaulting to broken behavior probably isn't a good idea :)

In the current state of things, I believe that might actually be 
sufficient. I was thinking of the eventual guest-exec case though: we 
need to be able to poll for a guest-exec'd process' return status 
asynchronously by calling a guest-exec-status command that does the 
wait(), so if we use a waitpid(-1, ...) SIGCHLD handler, or block 
SIGCHLD, the return status would be intercepted/lost.

GPid's map to something other than PIDs on Windows, so I think we'd have 
issues there. But our fork() approach probably wouldn't work at all on 
Windows except maybe under cygwin, so at some point we'd probably want 
to switch over to g_spawn for this kind of stuff anyway...

So this might be a good point to switch over to using the glib functions.

Would you mind trying to do the hibernate/zombie reaping stuff using 
g_spawn+g_child_watch_add()? It might end up being the easiest route. 
Otherwise I can take a look at it later today.

What I had in mind was to do what qemu_add_child_watch() does, ie. it
iterates through a list of child pids calling waitpid() on them instead
of doing waitpid(-1,...). The only difference is that we would do it from
a signal handler.

Maybe that could work for guest-exec too: we could let the signal handler
collect the exit status and store them. Then guest-status could retrieve
the status from there.

We have several options here. Maybe I should do the simplest solution for
the guest-suspend command and you work on improving it for guest-exec.

Well, there are two problems with g_spawn wrt to the manual method of
writing to the sysfs file. The first one is that I'm not sure if g_spawn()
reports the file not found error synchronously. The other problem is that,
I'd have to fork() anyway to write to the sysfs file (unless we decide that
it's ok to do this synchronously, which seems ok to me).

Ah, yah that might work. I'm not sure how well our list functions will 
behave when accessed via an interrupt handler. We'll have race 
conditions at least:

#define QTAILQ_INSERT_TAIL(head, elm, field) do {                      \
         (elm)->field.tqe_next = NULL;                                  \
         (elm)->field.tqe_prev = (head)->tqh_last;                      \
         /* interrupt */
         *(head)->tqh_last = (elm);                                     \
         (head)->tqh_last = &(elm)->field.tqe_next;

So if we fork() and the process completes and triggers the interrupt 
before we add the pid to the list, it will remain a zombie until 
something else triggers the handler. It's not a huge deal...we at least 
avoid accumulating zombies, but I'd be weary of other side-effects as 
well, especially if we also remove entries from the list if they've been 
waited on successfully.

Yah, I think we can tie all this together rather nicely with a little work.

That's fine, I need to look at this more. But if we're gonna take the 
simplest approach for now, let's not even bother with the pid 
registration (and potential races), and just do a waitpid(-1, ...) in a 
SIGCHLD handler like QEMU did before the child watch stuff was added, 
and I'll make the changes necessary for the guest-exec stuff before that 
gets added.

"error can be NULL to ignore errors, or non-NULL to report errors. If an 
error is set, the function returns FALSE. Errors are reported even if 
they occur in the child (for example if the executable in argv[0] is not 
found). Typically the message field of returned errors should be 
displayed to users. Possible errors are those from the G_SPAWN_ERROR 
domain."

So I'd think we'd be able to report the FNF synchronously even if we 
launch into the background.

I think what we'd have to do is open the file, then pass it in as stdout 
for a g_spawn'd `echo "disk"` command. I'm not sure how we'd manage 
cleaning up the FD though, if we're doing it asynchronously. And 
synchronous means every guest-suspend call will eventually time out, so 
I don't think that's doable right now.

So I'd say keep it the way it is for now. Probably not worth spending 
too much time on until we see what the Windows stuff looks like anyway.

We can block SIGCHLD temporarily while inserting. If a new signal arrives
while it's blocked, it will be queued and will be delivered when unblocked.

Okay, that works for me.

Yeah, from my testing looks like it does.

Ok.
