Jiri saw a hang on pause_all_vcpus called from postcopy_start,
where the cpus are all apparently stopped ('stopped' flag set)
but pause_all_vcpus is still stuck on a cond_wait on qemu_paused_cond.
We suspect this is happening if a qmp_stop is called at about the
same time as the postcopy code calls that pause_all_vcpus;
although they both should have the main lock held, Paolo spotted
the cond_wait unlocks the global lock so perhaps they both
could end up waiting at the same time?

This integrates support for QIOChannelTLS object in the TCP
chardev backend. If the 'tls-creds=NAME' option is passed with
the '-chardev tcp' argument, then it will setup the chardev
such that the client is required to establish a TLS handshake
when connecting. There is no support for checking the client
certificate against ACLs in this initial patch. This is pending
work to QOM-ify the ACL object code.
A complete invocation to run QEMU as the server for a TLS
encrypted serial dev might be
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
-nodefconfig -nodefaults -device sga -display none \
-chardev socket,id=s0,host=127.0.0.1,port=9000,tls-creds=tls0,server \
-device isa-serial,chardev=s0 \
-object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=server,verify-peer=off,\
dir=/home/berrange/security/qemutls
To test with the gnutls-cli tool as the client:
$ gnutls-cli --priority=NORMAL -p 9000 \
--x509cafile=/home/berrange/security/qemutls/ca-cert.pem \
127.0.0.1
If QEMU was told to use 'anon' credential type, then use the
priority string 'NORMAL:+ANON-DH' with gnutls-cli
Alternatively, if setting up a chardev to operate as a client,
then the TLS credentials registered must be for the client
endpoint. First a TLS server must be setup, which can be done
with the gnutls-serv tool
$ gnutls-serv --priority=NORMAL -p 9000 --echo \
--x509cafile=/home/berrange/security/qemutls/ca-cert.pem \
--x509certfile=/home/berrange/security/qemutls/server-cert.pem \
--x509keyfile=/home/berrange/security/qemutls/server-key.pem
Then QEMU can connect with
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
-nodefconfig -nodefaults -device sga -display none \
-chardev socket,id=s0,host=127.0.0.1,port=9000,tls-creds=tls0 \
-device isa-serial,chardev=s0 \
-object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=client,\

The current code for doing telnet initialization is writing to
a socket without checking the return status. While it is highly
unlikely to be a problem when writing to a bare socket, as the
buffers are large enough to prevent blocking, this cannot be
assumed safe with TLS sockets. So write the telnet initialization
code into a memory buffer and then use an I/O watch to fully
send the data.

The 2.88 drive is more suitable as a default because
it can still read 1.44 images correctly, but the reverse
is not true.
Since there exist virtio-win drivers that are shipped on
2.88 floppy images, this patch will allow VMs booted without
a floppy disk inserted to later insert a 2.88MB floppy and
have that work.
This patch has been tested with msdos, freedos, fedora,
windows 8 and windows 10 without issue: if problems do
arise for certain guests being unable to cope with 2.88MB
drives as the default, they are in the minority and can use
type=144 as needed (or insert a proper boot medium and omit
type=144/288 or use type=auto) to obtain different drive types.
As icing, the default will remain auto/144 for any pre-2.6
machine types, hopefully minimizing the impact of this change
in legacy hw to basically zero.
