For controlled shutdown we issue a 'system_powerdown' command to the QEMU monitor. This triggers an ACPI event which (most) guest OS wire up to a controlled shutdown. There is no equiv ACPI event to trigger a controlled reboot. This patch attempts to fake a reboot. - In qemuDomainObjPrivatePtr we have a bool fakeReboot flag. - The virDomainReboot method sets this flag and then triggers a normal 'system_powerdown'. - The QEMU process is started with '-no-shutdown' so that the guest CPUs pause when it powers off the guest - When we receive the 'POWEROFF' event from QEMU JSON monitor if fakeReboot is not set we invoke the qemuProcessKill command and shutdown continues normally - If fakeReboot was set, we spawn a background thread which issues 'system_reset' to perform a warm reboot of the guest hardware. Then it issues 'cont' to start the CPUs again * src/qemu/qemu_command.c: Add -no-shutdown flag if we have JSON support * src/qemu/qemu_domain.h: Add 'fakeReboot' flag to qemuDomainObjPrivate struct * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c: Fake reboot using the system_powerdown command if JSON support is available * src/qemu/qemu_monitor.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor.h, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.h, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c, src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.h: Add binding for system_reset command * src/qemu/qemu_process.c: Reset the guest & start CPUs if fakeReboot is set
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
