This is a follow up to the proposal to add a "-no-panicstop" option to QEMU
that would allow us to
control whether the VM is paused or allowed to continue running without
intervention from a management layer
when a guest panic occurs. See the inital thread and replies for details:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/1601606494-1154-1-git-send-email-alejandro.j.jime...@oracle.com/
From that discussion came a request for a generic mechanism to group options
like -no-shutdown, -no-reboot, etc,
that specify an action taken by QEMU in response to a guest event (reboot,
shutdown, panic, and watchdog
expiration are the current options). The existing options would translate to
the new option, like:
* -no-reboot --> "-action reboot=shutdown"
* -no-shutdown --> "-action shutdown=pause"
Please share any questions or comments.
Thanks, this looks good.
(Actually there are a bunch of changes needed for other patches that I
have queued, but I can take care of that. Basically, I am moving
command line parsing from softmmu/runstate-action.c to softmmu/vl.c
because we're trying to move all command line stuff there + in turn make
vl.c use QMP commands as much as possible).
