* vl: Add option to avoid stopping VM upon guest panicAlejandro Jimenez2020-12-151-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current default action of pausing a guest after a panic event is received leaves the responsibility to resume guest execution to the management layer. The reasons for this behavior are discussed here: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/52148F88.5000509@redhat.com/ However, in instances like the case of older guests (Linux and Windows) using a pvpanic device but missing support for the PVPANIC_CRASHLOADED event, and Windows guests using the hv-crash enlightenment, it is desirable to allow the guests to continue running after sending a PVPANIC_PANICKED event. This allows such guests to proceed to capture a crash dump and automatically reboot without intervention of a management layer. Add an option to avoid stopping a VM after a panic event is received, by passing: -action panic=none in the command line arguments, or during runtime by using an upcoming QMP command.

* qmp: generalize watchdog-set-action to -no-reboot/-no-shutdownAlejandro Jimenez2020-12-151-0/+41
Add a QMP command to allow for the behaviors specified by the -no-reboot and -no-shutdown command line option to be set at runtime. The new command is named set-action and takes optional arguments, named after an event, that provide a corresponding action to take. Example: -> { "execute": "set-action", "arguments": { "reboot": "none", "shutdown": "poweroff", "watchdog": "debug" } } <- { "return": {} } Suggested-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alejandro Jimenez <alejandro.j.jimenez@oracle.com> Message-Id: <1607705564-26264-4-git-send-email-alejandro.j.jimenez@oracle.com> [Split the series differently, with -action based on the QMP command. - Paolo] Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
