2018-03-26chardev/char-fe: Allow NULL chardev in qemu_chr_fe_init()Peter Maydell
All the functions in char-fe.c handle the CharBackend having a NULL Chardev pointer, which means that the backend exists but is not connected to anything. The exception is qemu_chr_fe_init(), which will crash if passed a NULL Chardev pointer argument. This can happen for various boards if they're started with 'nodefaults': arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -S -nodefaults -M cubieboard riscv32-softmmu/qemu-system-riscv32 -nodefaults -M sifive_e Make qemu_chr_fe_init() accept a NULL chardev. This allows UART models to handle NULL chardev properties without generally needing to special case them or to manually create a NullChardev.

2018-03-02Include less of the generated modular QAPI headersMarkus Armbruster
In my "build everything" tree, a change to the types in qapi-schema.json triggers a recompile of about 4800 out of 5100 objects. The previous commit split up qmp-commands.h, qmp-event.h, qmp-visit.h, qapi-types.h. Each of these headers still includes all its shards. Reduce compile time by including just the shards we actually need. To illustrate the benefits: adding a type to qapi/migration.json now recompiles some 2300 instead of 4800 objects. The next commit will improve it further.

2018-01-12chardev: use backend chr context when watch for fePeter Xu
In commit 6bbb6c0644 ("chardev: use per-dev context for io_add_watch_poll", 2017-09-22) all the chardev watches are converted to use per-chardev gcontext to support chardev to be run outside default main thread. However that's still missing one call from the frontend code. Touch that up.

2017-06-02char: make chr_fe_deinit() optionaly delete backendMarc-André Lureau
This simplifies removing a backend for a frontend user (no need to retrieve the associated driver and separate delete call etc). NB: many frontends have questionable handling of ending a chardev. They should probably delete the backend to prevent broken reusage. Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4bug@amsat.org>
2017-06-02char: move CharBackend handling in char-fe unitMarc-André Lureau
Move all the frontend struct and methods to a seperate unit. This avoids accidentally mixing backend and frontend calls, and helps with readabilty. Make qemu_chr_replay() a macro shared by both char and char-fe. Export qemu_chr_write(), and use a macro for qemu_chr_write_all() (nb: yes, CharBackend is for char frontend :) Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4bug@amsat.org>
