Main/Machine+Snapshot: fix state checks and introduce standardized state checks for snapshot operations as a safety net

Main/Console+Machine+Session+Snapshot: move the save state and snapshot related methods from IConsole to IMachine, with lots of unavoidable code restructuring and cleanup. Also define two new machine states (so that the "Saving" one is specifically for saving state now) which requires more changes everywhere Frontends: necessary adjustments doc/SDK: document the changes

Main/Machine: fix overlooked case sensitive frontend name check

Main/Machine: Add support for launching separate UI/VM setups. Technically speaking the launch of the UI part is outside the scope of IMachine::launchVMProcess, but overall it fits there rather well as the overall result is that a VM process gets started.

Main/Machine: too strict limitations for extradata changes... for unregistered machines they're allowed

Main/Machine: fix condition when permanent shared folders can be created or removed, was too strict

Main/AudioAdapter+BandwidthControl+Machine+NetworkAdapter+ParallelPort+SerialPort+StorageController+USBDeviceFilter+USBDeviceFilters: Adjust rules when settings can be changed to allow as much as possible. Some changes restored the old rules (a previous change made the definition more restrictive), but many now allow changing settings when VM is saved or even at runtime when it is safe. Will resolve many complaints, especially when the GUI also is adapted accordingly.

MediumImpl: be a bit more verbose if locking of the media failed

Main/Medium+Snapshot: make all code recursing over trees (objects containing lists of child objects) use as little stack as possible, and establish safe depth limits to avoid crashes, plus related cleanups in related code areas

Main/src-server: comment.

Main/src-server/MachineImpl: enable KVM paravirt for almost all linux guest OS types.

Main: Added paravirt. provider KVM APIs.

Main/Machine: fix long-standing bug with setting extradata (it isn't allowed to use an immutable IMachine instance, see corresponding VBoxManage fix), and while at it fix a long-standing bug which allowed changing most settings at runtime (the i_checkStateDependency logic was broken)

Encryption/Main: Allow encryption of differencing media as long as there are no branches in the image chain and no image is used by multiple virtual machines

Main/Machine: typo in rsevious change

Main/Machine: fix another (unnecessary, the parent lock isn't needed at all) lock order violation. Fixes public bug ticket #13801. Contributed by Alexander Urakov. Thanks!

Main/Machine: fix lock order violation when detaching all media, child lock must not be held when taking parent lock (should fix public ticket #13789). Contributed by Alexander Urakov. Thanks!

Main: Added machine state change probe.

Main: Don't try to delete the storage of a disk image when the format is not file based while deleting a VM. Fixes an error an leftover files

R7524 - needs testing in VBoxManage.

MachineImpl: delete TRANSIENT and TRANSRESET guest properties on VM shutdown (second try).

MachineImpl: delete TRANSIENT and TRANSRESET guest properties on VM shutdown.

Main/src-server: unused param warning.

USB: Integrate USB sniffer. Make it possible to specify a file to dump the traffic to when attaching a USB device with VBoxManage

Main,Frontend: Windows 10 guest os type.

Main/Machine: also delete VBoxStartup.log when deleting a VM

Main: merged IMachine::readSavedThumbnailToArray and readSavedThumbnailPNGToArray

Main: safearray cleanup, removed unnecessary SafeArray<->vector conversions

MachineImpl: return code mismatch

Main/Machine: TABs

Main: warning, cleanup.

Main/Machine+Settings: Changing extradata for a Machine instance is special, there is no "old" state available for comparing, and thus it must force saving. The settings change optimizes out the useless effort to do a deep comparison of two maps.

Main/Machine: simplify object reference assignments

MachineImpl: warnings

Main: more cleanup after r95701

Main: tabs

Main: cleanup after r95701

6813 - MachineImpl.cpp - IInternalMachineControl changes.

Main/MachineImpl: Enable Hyper-V GIM for new Windows VMs.

6219: New parameters related to file size / recording time limitation for VM Video Capture have been added (vcpmaxtime, vcpmaxsize and vcpoptions - special codec options in key=value format). EbmlWriter has been refactored. Removed some redundant code.

Main: update guest properties API to work with API wrappers, removed unnecesary BSTR conversion.

MachineImpl.cpp: Create the log directory before launching the VM; Hexadecimal exit code in error messages to make it easier to see which NT status code we're looking at.

Main: VM startup logging on windows.

SUP: child-process purification to avoid sysfer.dll.

Main, Fe/Qt4: Added method to get effective paravirt. provider in MachineImpl; adjusted GUI and ConsoleImpl2 to use the new method as required.

Main: AutoCaller/VirtualBoxBase refactoring, cleanly splitting out the object state handling, and moving all caller synchronization to one file. Also eliminated a not so vital template (AutoCallerBase) by much simpler inheritance. Theoretically has no visible effects, the behavior should be identical. Done as a preparation for reimplementing the caller synchronization.

Merged in iprt++ dev branch.

VMM/GIM: More bits for Hyper-V implementation.

6813 MachineImpl.cpp server side com wrapper API useage - further fix

6183 src-all/PCIDeviceAttachmentImpl.cpp

6183 src-all/SharedFolderImpl.cpp

6813 src-all/ProgressImp.cpp + some formatting/line length sorting

Main/MachineImpl: well, if we use a counter there is no point in referencing the service more than once. Just make sure it is referenced at least once when the VM is powered on and all references are removed once the session machine is destroyed

Main/MachineImpl: use a real counter here

Main/MachineImpl: don't start the NAT network at SessionMachine::init() but do it at SessionMachine::BeginPowerUp(), otherwise we start the NAT network every time the VM settings are opened.

Main/Machine: avoid losing error info for OVF import failures, it replaced useful details by meaningless info what went wrong when closing the VM. Worth backporting!

6813 stage 7 VirtualBoxImpl.cpp etc

build fix

Main/SystemProperties: Add GetStorageControllerHotplugCapable to check whether a given controller type is hotplug capable

Devices/Graphics: VMware SVGA II compatible graphics emulation (2D only), including the associated small API and VBoxManage changes, contributed by trivirt AG.

Main/Machine+ClientWatcher: fix for the generic watcher, it missed crashes of spawning sessions (e.g. launching a GUI VM if the DISPLAY variable isn't set), 4.3 regression

6813 stage 6 - Make use of server side API wrapper code in all interfaces

6813 - stage 5 - Make use of server side API wrapper code in all interfaces

6813 - User server side API wrapper code in all interfaces.. stage 4 rev 1

6813 - stage 3 rev 1

6813 stage 2 - Use the server side API wrapper code..

stage 1/8 of 6813 changes

Main/Machine: the API description clearly says that deleting a VM config wlong with disk images will close the media

typo in prev change

Main/Machine: regression, incorrect UUID check, leading to Windows reactivation as the HW UUID changes unexpectedly

Main,VBoxManage: Implement hotpluggable setting stubs

Main: Added a TripleFaultReset switch.

IPRT: Filename extension versus suffix cleanup, long overdue.

Main,Frontends: Support for the USB storage controller

Main/NATNetwork: more logging

Main/MediumAttachment+Machine: stub attribute/method for an explicit hot-pluggable medium attachment flag, to be used by AHCI soon

Main/Machine: store the passthrough flag even if there is no medium attached

SessionMachine::init: lockWrite() call depends on RT_LOCK_STRICT.

SessionMachine::init: lockWrite(LOCKVAL_SRC_POS_DECL).

NatNetwork/Main: build fix: lockWrite(RT_SRC_POS) -> lockWrite()

NatNetwork/Main: do network reference counting on starting/stopping attached to network VMs.

Main/NetworkAdapter+Machine+Appliance+SystemProperties+Medium+Console+Settings+IDL: make NAT networking a separate network attachment type which improves the user experience, store the necessary settings, plus changing the design of the methods which will move images and entire VMs, they lacked a progress object Frontends/VirtualBox: adapted fully, can configure NAT networks with proper drop down list support Frontends/VBoxManage: also supports NAT networks completely, and adds the long missing code to list intnets

Main/Machine: preparations for moving machines to a different place on disk

Main/Machine+Session: New generic client session watcher implementation based on token objects, works on all platforms and is used for now on XPCOM. Additionally a better error message when several API clients are racing for a lock, previously it could be quite confusing.

Main,VBoxManage: Implemented IConsole::EmulatedUSB. Removed IMachine::emulatedUSBWebcameraEnabled.

SessionImpl.cpp: VBoxClient-x86.so fixes.

Main/Medium: redesign API level medium locking, needed conversions from MediaList to MediumLockLists in several places, forced cleanups elsewhere, too Main/Token: introduced token objects for controlling the unlocking, will be used as a general concept in the future Main/Snapshot: snapshot deletion needed significant cleanups as it was still using many shortcuts, directly calling the API to lock media instead of using lock lists. Now much better, and the online snapshot deletion is also a lot cleaner as it no longer passes unnecessary parameters around which are already known in the machine/snapshot code Main/MediumLock: small improvements, now has a mode which skips locking already locked media, needed by the Snapshot code where we have overlapping lock lists and have to update the original one instead Main/Console+Session+Machine: follow-up changes for the online snapshot merging parameter passing simplification, plus an unrelated lock order violation fix in Machine which happens only for inaccessible machines Main/testcase: update correspondingly doc: update SDK reference

Main: fixed a few %Rrc <--> COM error code mismatches

Main: Made the exclusive HW virtualization use setting global rather than per-VM.

Main/Machine: fix the code which sets custom icons, and also fix loading of settings

Main/Machine: add a way to safely override the VM app, OSX specific

Warnings and space.

Main/VirtualBox+Machine+Session: separate out the client death detection functionality into separate objects

Main/USB: USB Controller implementation rework. Moved filter handling into a separate interface

Main/VPX: error handling

Main: do not include VirtualBoxImpl.h from code ending in VBoxC (causes unnecessary rebuilds), and make sure that the code still builds with VBOX_WITH_RESOURCE_USAGE_API unset

Main/VPX: only save the settings if the change was successful

Main: Don't create a medium lock list if there is no medium to attach during hotplug (empty DVD drive)

Main/idl: clarify IMachine.videoCaptureFile to be an absolute path, and many naming convention cleanups for method/attribute names starting with an uppercase letter or containing an acronym Main/xml/Settings.cpp: clean up default video capture file handling and related path conversions, version handling of the new functionality Main/Machine: handle default value for video capture file better, store relative path in settings if possible, cleanups Main/src-client/VideoRec.cpp: do not overwrite a file ever Main/Display: generate a unique name if there is a collision, matching cleanups for name changes Frontends/VirtualBox: matching name changes Frontends/VBoxManage: matching name changes, fixing the machine readable output

Main/MachineImpl: prevent changing video recording settings only if recording is currently enabled AND the VM is running

Main/VBoxManage: allow to enable video recording at VM runtime

Main/VPX: introduced onVideoCaptureChange event

Main/Machine: fix default VM frontend handling, the empty string was misinterpreted when the VM was terminated as "we didn't start this process", suppressing the process reaping

The ICON data isn't required, it's optional so dont fail in copyMachineDataToSettings because of this. For the same reason, don't save the <Icon> element unconditionally, only when there is actual data. Because, we have to bump the settings version when using <Icon>.

Override VM Icon Implementation xtracker id:5292

Main/Machine: always update the property flags in Machine::setGuestPropertyToService()

Main/Machine: don't forget to create a new guest property if it does not exist yet

Main: removed all these recent hacks for debugging the testboxes

VPX: default 1024x768

Main: more debugging

several fixes for video recording

desperate

More testbox debug hacks.

more temporary debugging

Another hack in the dark.

Main/Machine+Console+Display+VRDEServer,VBoxManage: allow VMs without graphics controller, eliminate annoying spurious error messages about Console not yet powered up when taking screenshots, getting/setting guest properties and updating metrics, make as many parameters to modifyvm as possible case insensitive

Main: renavation com::Guid class. PR5744

Main/Metics: VM disk usage metric (#6345)

Main/Machine+Snapshot+Medium: fix cancelling snapshots, used to trigger both backref inconsistency and incorrect lock list/map updates which could cause runtime misbehavior, the config file was already made consistent with the previous changes

indent

Main/Machine+NetworkAdapter: properly fix resizing of vector containing network adapters, previously it wasn't handling commit correctly. xtracker 5997

Main/Machine: 1. function STDMETHODIMP Machine::RemoveStorageController() - creating temporary list "llAttachments2", because STL::list "mMediaData->mAttachments" produce invalid iterator during deleting items from it inside the function detachDevice().

4.2.0 RC 1

Main/Machine: 1. function STDMETHODIMP Machine::RemoveStorageController - replaced Iterator in the cycle by simple counter for go through all meadia attachments. 2. function STDMETHODIMP Machine::RemoveStorageController - replaced DetachDevice by detachDevice.

Main: big API naming cleanup, use all caps acronyms everywhere, including SDK docs Frontends/VBoxManage: implement guestcontrol execute for new API, disabled by default

added 3 extra methods for 6124

Main/Machine: get the conditions right when the group association can be changed, and fix a long standing issue with not being able to save settings of a VM which has saved state. While at it allow changing the VM description in this case, too.

Elinate use of NULL object references in the API - 6124

Main/VirtualBox+Machine: optimize reaction time on session changes by adapting the waiting timeout, and signal near session closing (which unfortunately cannot be done precisely, as the session link to the Machine needs to be removed before the session is actually closed, and this makes notifications impossible)

Main/Session+Console+Machine: minimal change to reduce the overhead of normal API client sessions, because they don't need a full Console object with all sub-objects associated with them. Much more work todo if we want to completely eliminate all VM machinery dependency since the methods of Console are a wild mix of VM related and unrelated.

enabled shared clipboard support for Linux hosts (guest=>host only)

Main/Machine: fix error code check, Windows reports different code than Linux

Autostart: Make the path to the autostart database configurable

Main/VirtualBox+Machine: implement the directory handling/renaming logic for gro up changes, plus strict validation of the VM groups to avoid trouble when using it as a directory component

Main/Machine+Snapshot: fix crash on snapshot restore due to incorrect saving of settings (#6281)

Main/MachineImpl: coding style (spaces before and after '='); no C-style variable declaration

Main/Machine: added a caller and a read lock before calling of MediumAttachment instance in the function RemoveStorageController.

All attached devices will be detached automatically when a storage controller is removed from VM. Now this logic concentrated in the one place - function STDMETHODIMP Machine::RemoveStorageController.

Build fix

More autostart service updates, work in progress

Main/clipboard: save the settings immediately like we do in other places

allow to change the clipboard mode during runtime (API change including 'VBoxManage controlvm' change)

Main: shared clipboard is disabled for new VMs

Main: Implement API to configure autostart/-stop for virtual machines

VBoxHeadless/win: enable SVC in VBoxSVC, add SVC to host installer

Main: set the "current state" modified if something in the VM configuration has changed

Main: always use setError; improved some error messages; use the new setError(com::ErrorInfo) method

Main: check if particular PCI device already attached

PCI: Main and VBoxManage work

introduced VirtualBoxBase::clearError to clear the previous error info if MultiResult is used

MachineImpl.cpp,VirtualBoxBase.h: Re r70709 - caller validated the setGuestPropertyToVM arguments already. Checking the caller I found a few VALID_PTR checks which didn't set error, added CheckComArgMaybeNull to hide deal with it.

Main: Fix for parameter handling in setGuestPropertyToVM().

Main/NetworkAdapter: Bandwidth group attribute implementation (#5582)

Addressed some guest property (transient reset) todos.

doxygen @todo, please.

Added a promiscModePolicy attribute to INetworkAdapter, three values: deny (default), allow-network (i.e. VMs), allow-all (i.e. include unrelated host traffic).

Main: implement sharing saved state files between snapshots and machines in 'saved' state; this dramatically speeds up restoring snapshots as well as taking snapshots of 'saved' machines

Main: fix overconfident debug assertion triggered by earlier fix in r69942

Main/BandwidthControl: Don't use direct references to bandwidth group objects in the medium attachment object. It will point to the old uninitialized instance if the settings are changed. Uses the name of the bandwidth group now instead without changing the public interface to make a backport to 4.0 possible

Main: Improve error message if a CPU socket is removed which has still a CPU attached

raw PCI: more init bits

Main: prohibit setting a UUID as the machine or snapshot name
