This will let us print options in a format that the user would actually
write it on the command line (foo=bar,baz=asd,etc=def), without
prepending a spurious comma at the beginning of the list, or quoting
values unnecessarily. This patch provides the following changes:
* write and id=, if the option has an id
* do not print separator before the first element
* do not quote string arguments
* properly escape commas (,) for QEMU

Currently, if a subprocess of a python test (i.e. qemu-io, qemu-img, or
qemu) receives a signal and is subsequently aborted, this is not logged.
This patch makes python tests always check the exit code of these
subprocesses, and emit a message if they have been killed.

Currently, if a qemu/qemu-io/qemu-img/qemu-nbd invocation receives a
segmentation fault, that message is invisible in most cases since the
output is generally filtered and bash suppresses the segmentation fault
notice for any but the last element of a pipe.
Most of the time, the test will then fail anyway because of missing
output, but not necessarily (as happened with test 82 recently).
Fix this by making the corresponding environment variables point to
wrapper functions which execute the respective command in a subshell.
Giving options to qemu/qemu-io/qemu-img and path names with spaces were
broken for the Python tests; this patch "accidentally" fixes that.

While -nodefaults is set in $QEMU_OPTIONS, this is currently (wrongly)

when creating an image qemu-img enable us specifying the size of the
image using -o size=xx options. But when we specify an invalid size
such as a negtive size then different platform gives different result.
parse_option_size() function in util/qemu-option.c will be called to
parse the size, a cast was called in the function to cast the input
(saved as a double in the function) size to an unsigned int64 value,
when the input is a negtive value or exceeds the maximum of uint64, then
the result is undefined.
According to C99 6.3.1.4, the result of converting a floating point
number to an integer that cannot represent the (integer part of) number
is undefined. And sure enough the results are different on x86 and
s390.
C99 Language spec 6.3.1.4 Real floating and integers:
the result of this assignment/cast is undefined if the float is not
in the open interval (-1, U<type>_MAX+1).

This patch fixes an io test suite issue that was introduced with the
commit c88930a6866e74953e931ae749781e98e486e5c8 'qemu-char: Permit only
a single "stdio" character device'. The option supresses the creation of
default devices such as the floopy and cdrom. Output files for test case
067, 071, 081 and 087 need to be updated to accommodate this change.
Use virtio-blk instead of virtio-blk-pci as the device driver for test
case 067. For virtio-blk-pci is the same with virtio-blk as device
driver but other platform such as s390 may not recognize the virtio-blk-pci.
The default devices differ across machines. As the qemu output often
contains these devices (or events for them, like opening a CD tray on
reset), the reference output currently is rather machine-specific.
All existing qemu tests explicitly configure the devices they're working
with, so just pass -nodefaults to qemu by default to disable the default
devices. Update the reference outputs accordingly.

This patch adds qemu machine type support to the io test suite.
Based on the qemu default machine type and alias of the default machine
type the reference output file can now vary from the default to a
machine specific output file if necessary. When using a machine specific
reference file if the default machine has an alias then use the alias as the output
file name otherwise use the default machine name as the output file name.

This adds tests for overriding the qemu-internal BDRV_O_PROTOCOL flag by
explicitly specifying a block driver. As one test must be run over the
NBD protocol while the other must not, this patch adds two separate
iotests.

The BDRV_O_PROTOCOL flag should have an impact only if no driver is
specified explicitly. Therefore, if bdrv_open() is called with an
explicit block driver argument (either through the options QDict or
through the drv parameter) and that block driver is a protocol block
driver, BDRV_O_PROTOCOL should be set; if it is a format block driver,
BDRV_O_PROTOCOL should be unset.
While there was code to unset the flag in case a format block driver
has been selected, it only followed the bdrv_fill_options() function
call whereas the flag in fact needs to be adjusted before it is used
there.
With that change, BDRV_O_PROTOCOL will always be set if the BDS should
be a protocol driver; if the driver has been specified explicitly, the
new code will set it; and bdrv_fill_options() will only "probe" a
protocol driver if BDRV_O_PROTOCOL is set. The probing after
bdrv_fill_options() cannot select a protocol driver.
Thus, bdrv_open_image() to open BDS.file is never called if a protocol
BDS is about to be created. With that change in turn it is impossible to
call bdrv_open_common() with a protocol drv and file != NULL, which
allows us to remove the bdrv_swap() call.
This change breaks a test case in qemu-iotest 051:
"-drive file=t.qcow2,file.driver=qcow2" now works because the explicitly
specified "qcow2" overrides the BDRV_O_PROTOCOL which is automatically
set for the "file" BDS (and the filename is just passed down).
Therefore, this patch removes that test case.

Adding "-d" option. The output goes to "tee" so it appears in your
console. Also, raise the verbosity of unnitest runner.
When testing a topic branch, it's possible that a bug introduced by a
code change makes the python test case hang, with debug output, it is
much easier to locate the problem.
This can also be helpful if you want to watch the progress of a python
test, it offers you a way to sense the speed of each test case method
you're writing.
Note: because there is no easy way to get *both* the verbose output and
the output expected by ./check comparison, the case would always fail
with an "output mismatch". The sole purpose of using this option is
giving developers a quick way to debug when things go wrong.

A filter is added to allow callers to request very specific
events to be pulled from the event queue, while leaving undesired
events still in the stream.
This allows us to poll for completion data for multiple asynchronous
events in any arbitrary order.
A new timeout context is added to the qmp pull_event method's
wait parameter to allow tests to fail if they do not complete
within some expected period of time.
Also fixed is a bug in qmp.pull_event where we try to retrieve an event
from an empty list if we attempt to retrieve an event with wait=False
but no events have occurred.

In recent qemu versions, it is possible to override the backing file
name and format that is stored in the image file with values given at
runtime. In such cases, the temporary override could end up in the
image header if the qcow2 header was updated, while obviously correct
behaviour would be to leave the on-disk backing file path/format
unchanged.
Fix this and add a test case for it.

We've steered users away from QCOW/QCOW2 encryption for a while,
because it's a flawed design (commit 136cd19 Describe flaws in
qcow/qcow2 encryption in the docs).
In addition to flawed crypto, we have comically bad usability, and
plain old bugs. Let me show you.
= Example images =
I'm going to use a raw image as backing file, and two QCOW2 images,
one encrypted, and one not:
$ qemu-img create -f raw backing.img 4m
Formatting 'backing.img', fmt=raw size=4194304
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o encryption,backing_file=backing.img,backing_fmt=raw geheim.qcow2 4m
Formatting 'geheim.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=4194304 backing_file='backing.img' backing_fmt='raw' encryption=on cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o backing_file=backing.img,backing_fmt=raw normal.qcow2 4m
Formatting 'normal.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=4194304 backing_file='backing.img' backing_fmt='raw' encryption=off cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off
= Usability issues =
== Confusing startup ==
When no image is encrypted, and you don't give -S, QEMU starts the
guest immediately:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio normal.qcow2
QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) info status
VM status: running
But as soon as there's an encrypted image in play, the guest is *not*
started, with no notification whatsoever:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio geheim.qcow2
QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) info status
VM status: paused (prelaunch)
If the user figured out that he needs to type "cont" to enter his
keys, the confusion enters the next level: "cont" asks for at most
*one* key. If more are needed, it then silently does nothing. The
user has to type "cont" once per encrypted image:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio -drive if=none,file=geheim.qcow2 -drive if=none,file=geheim.qcow2
QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information

== Incorrect passwords not caught ==
All existing encryption schemes give you the GIGO treatment: garbage
password in, garbage data out. Guests usually refuse to mount
garbage, but other usage is prone to data loss.
== Need to stop the guest to add an encrypted image ==
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio
QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information

(qemu) drive_add "" if=none,file=geheim.qcow2
Guest must be stopped for opening of encrypted image
(qemu) stop
(qemu) drive_add "" if=none,file=geheim.qcow2
OK
Commit c3adb58 added this restriction. Before, we could expose images
lacking an encryption key to guests, with potentially catastrophic
results. See also "Use without key is not always caught".

== Use without key is not always caught ==
Encrypted images can be in an intermediate state "opened, but no key".
The weird startup behavior and the need to stop the guest are there to
ensure the guest isn't exposed to that state. But other things still
are!
* drive_backup
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio geheim.qcow2
QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) drive_backup -f ide0-hd0 out.img raw
Formatting 'out.img', fmt=raw size=4194304
I guess this writes encrypted data to raw image out.img. Good luck
with figuring out how to decrypt that again.
* commit
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -display none -monitor stdio geheim.qcow2
QEMU 2.2.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) commit ide0-hd0
I guess this writes encrypted data into the unencrypted raw backing
image, effectively destroying it.
== QMP device_add of usb-storage fails when it shouldn't ==
When the image is encrypted, device_add creates the device, defers
actually attaching it to when the key becomes available, then fails.
This is wrong. device_add must either create the device and succeed,
or do nothing and fail.

This stuff is worse than useless, it's a trap for users.
If people become sufficiently interested in encrypted images to
contribute a cryptographically sane implementation for QCOW2 (or
whatever other format), then rewriting the necessary support around it
from scratch will likely be easier and yield better results than
fixing up the existing mess.
Let's deprecate the mess now, drop it after a grace period, and move
on.

Commit c4bacaf improved error reporting, but neglected to update
051.out. Commit 2726958 tried to redress, but didn't get it quite
right (punctuation difference), and shortly after commit
ae071cc..master improved error reporting some more, neglecting 051.out
some more. Sorry!
