The qemu-io tool does not check if the image is encrypted so
historically would silently corrupt the sectors by writing
plain text data into them instead of cipher text. The earlier
commit turns this mistake into a fatal abort, so check for
encryption and prompt for key when required.
This enables us to add unit tests to ensure we don't break
the ability of qemu-img to convert existing encrypted qcow2
files into a non-encrypted format.

POSIX says getopt() returns -1 on completion. While Linux happens
to define EOF as -1, this definition is not required by POSIX, and
there may be platforms where checking for EOF instead of -1 would

qemu-io should behave like a guest, therefore it should use BlockBackend
to access the block layer.
There are a couple of places where that is infeasible: First, the
bdrv_debug_* functions could theoretically be mirrored in the
BlockBackend, but since these are functions internal to the block layer,
they should not be visible externally (qemu-io as a test tool is exempt
from this).
Second, bdrv_get_info() and bdrv_get_specific_info() work on a single
BDS alone, therefore they should stay BDS-specific.
Third, bdrv_is_allocated() mainly works on a single BDS as well. Some
data may be passed through from the BDS's file (if sectors which are
apparently allocated in the file are not really allocated there but just
zero).
[Fixed conflicts around block_acct_start() usage from Fam Zheng's
"qemu-io: Account IO by aio_read and aio_write" commit. Use
BlockBackend and blk_get_stats() instead of BlockDriverState.

Remove "growable" option from the "open" command and from the qemu-io
command line. qemu-io is about to be converted to BlockBackend which
will make sure that no request exceeds the image size, so the only way
to keep "growable" would be to use BlockBackend if it is not given and
to directly access the BDS if it is.
qemu-io is a debugging tool, therefore removing a rarely used option
will have only a very small impact, if any. There was only one
qemu-iotest which used the option; since it is not critical, this patch
just removes it.

Convenience function blk_new_with_bs() creates a BlockBackend with its
BlockDriverState. Callers have to unref both. The commit after next
will relieve them of the need to unref the BlockDriverState.
Complication: due to the silly way drive_del works, we need a way to
hide a BlockBackend, just like bdrv_make_anon(). To emphasize its
"special" status, give the function a suitably off-putting name:
blk_hide_on_behalf_of_do_drive_del(). Unfortunately, hiding turns the
BlockBackend's name into the empty string. Can't avoid that without
breaking the blk->bs->device_name equals blk->name invariant.

A block device consists of a frontend device model and a backend.
A block backend has a tree of block drivers doing the actual work.
The tree is managed by the block layer.
We currently use a single abstraction BlockDriverState both for tree
nodes and the backend as a whole. Drawbacks:
* Its API includes both stuff that makes sense only at the block
backend level (root of the tree) and stuff that's only for use
within the block layer. This makes the API bigger and more complex
than necessary. Moreover, it's not obvious which interfaces are
meant for device models, and which really aren't.
* Since device models keep a reference to their backend, the backend
object can't just be destroyed. But for media change, we need to
replace the tree. Our solution is to make the BlockDriverState
generic, with actual driver state in a separate object, pointed to
by member opaque. That lets us replace the tree by deinitializing
and reinitializing its root. This special need of the root makes
the data structure awkward everywhere in the tree.
The general plan is to separate the APIs into "block backend", for use
by device models, monitor and whatever other code dealing with block
backends, and "block driver", for use by the block layer and whatever
other code (if any) dealing with trees and tree nodes.
Code dealing with block backends, device models in particular, should
become completely oblivious of BlockDriverState. This should let us
clean up both APIs, and the tree data structures.
This commit is a first step. It creates a minimal "block backend"
API: type BlockBackend and functions to create, destroy and find them.
BlockBackend objects are created and destroyed exactly when root
BlockDriverState objects are created and destroyed. "Root" in the
sense of "in bdrv_states". They're not yet used for anything; that'll
come shortly.
A root BlockDriverState is created with bdrv_new_root(), so where to
create a BlockBackend is obvious. Where these roots get destroyed
isn't always as obvious.
It is obvious in qemu-img.c, qemu-io.c and qemu-nbd.c, and in error
paths of blockdev_init(), blk_connect(). That leaves destruction of
objects successfully created by blockdev_init() and blk_connect().
blockdev_init() is used only by drive_new() and qmp_blockdev_add().
Objects created by the latter are currently indestructible (see commit
48f364d "blockdev: Refuse to drive_del something added with
blockdev-add" and commit 2d246f0 "blockdev: Introduce
DriveInfo.enable_auto_del"). Objects created by the former get
destroyed by drive_del().
Objects created by blk_connect() get destroyed by blk_disconnect().
BlockBackend is reference-counted. Its reference count never exceeds
one so far, but that's going to change.
In drive_del(), the BB's reference count is surely one now. The BDS's
reference count is greater than one when something else is holding a
reference, such as a block job. In this case, the BB is destroyed
right away, but the BDS lives on until all extra references get
dropped.

On a system with a low limit of open files the initialization
of the event notifier could fail and QEMU exits without printing any
error information to the user.
The problem can be easily reproduced by enforcing a low limit of open
files and start QEMU with enough I/O threads to hit this limit.
The same problem raises, without the creation of I/O threads, while
QEMU initializes the main event loop by enforcing an even lower limit of
open files.
This commit adds an error message on failure:

Commit 6db9560 split off the growable case so it can use
bdrv_file_open() instead of bdrv_open() then. Growable BDSes become
anonymous. Weird.
Commit 2e40134 folded bdrv_file_open() back into bdrv_open() with new
flag BDRV_O_PROTOCOL. We still have two bdrv_open() calls, and
growable BDSes remain anonymous.
Circle back to before commit 6db9560: just one call, not anonymous.

g_new(T, n) is neater than g_malloc(sizeof(T) * n). It's also safer,
for two reasons. One, it catches multiplication overflowing size_t.
Two, it returns T * rather than void *, which lets the compiler catch
more type errors.
Patch created with Coccinelle, with two manual changes on top:
* Add const to bdrv_iterate_format() to keep the types straight
* Convert the allocation in bdrv_drop_intermediate(), which Coccinelle
inexplicably misses

Adds support to compile QEMU with multiple tracing backends at the same time.
For example, you can compile QEMU with:
$ ./configure --enable-trace-backends=ftrace,dtrace
Where 'ftrace' can be handy for having an in-flight record of events, and 'dtrace' can be later used to extract more information from the system.
This patch allows having both available without recompiling QEMU.

It is better to present homogeneous hardware independent of the storage
technology that is chosen on the host, hence we make discard a host
parameter; the user can choose whether to pass it down to the image
format and protocol, or to ignore it.
Using DISCARD with filesystems can cause very severe fragmentation, so it
is left default-off for now. This can change later when we implement the
"anchor" operation for efficient management of preallocated files.
There is still one choice to make: whether DISCARD has an effect on the
dirty bitmap or not. I chose yes, though there is a disadvantage: if
the guest is buggy and issues discards for data that is in use, there
will be no way to migrate storage for that guest without downgrading
the machine type to an older one.
