Make process code usable outside qemu_capabilities by moving code from qemu_capabilities to qemu_process and exposing public functions. The process code is used to activate a non domain QEMU process for QMP message exchanges. This patch set modifies capabilities to use the new public functions. -- The process code is being decoupled from qemu_capabilities now to support hypervisor baseline and comparison using QMP commands. This patch set was originally submitted as part of the baseline patch set: [PATCH v4 00/37] BaselineHypervisorCPU using QEMU QMP exchanges https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-November/msg00091.html The baseline and comparison requirements are described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1511999 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1511996 I am extracting and resubmitting just the process changes as a stand alone series to try to make review easier. The patch set shows capabilities using the public functions. To see baseline using the public functions... Look at the "qemu_driver:" patches at the end of https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-November/msg00091.html Also, The "qemu_driver: Support feature expansion via QEMU when baselining cpu" patch might be of particular interest because the same QEMU process is used for both baseline and expansion using QMP commands. -- Many patches were used to isolate code moves and name changes from other actual implementation changes. The patches reuse the pattern of public qemuProcess{Start,Stop} functions and internal static qemuProcess{Init,Launch,ConnectMonitor} functions but adds a "Qmp" suffix to make them unique. A number of patches are about re-partitioning the code into static functions for initialization, process launch and connection monitor stuff. This matches the established pattern in qemu_process and seemed to make sense to do. For concurrency... A thread safe library function creates a unique directory under libDir for each QEMU process (for QMP messaging) to decouple processes in terms of sockets and file system footprint. Every patch should compile independently if applied in sequence.
