-audio is used like "-audio pa,model=sb16". It is almost as simple as
-soundhw, but it reuses the -audiodev parsing machinery and attaches an
audiodev to the newly-created device. The main 'feature' is that
it knows about adding the codec device for model=intel-hda, and adding
the audiodev to the codec device.
In the future, it could be extended to support default models or
builtin devices, just like -nic, or even a default backend. For now,
keep it simple.

The concept of these is introduced in [1] in terms of the
description the CEDT ACPI table. The principal is more general.
Unlike once traffic hits the CXL root bridges, the host system
memory address routing is implementation defined and effectively
static once observable by standard / generic system software.
Each CXL Fixed Memory Windows (CFMW) is a region of PA space
which has fixed system dependent routing configured so that
accesses can be routed to the CXL devices below a set of target
root bridges. The accesses may be interleaved across multiple
root bridges.
For QEMU we could have fully specified these regions in terms
of a base PA + size, but as the absolute address does not matter
it is simpler to let individual platforms place the memory regions.
ExampleS:
-cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl.0,size=128G
-cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl.1,size=128G
-cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl0,targets.1=cxl.1,size=256G,interleave-granularity=2k
Specifies
* 2x 128G regions not interleaved across root bridges, one for each of
the root bridges with ids cxl.0 and cxl.1
* 256G region interleaved across root bridges with ids cxl.0 and cxl.1
with a 2k interleave granularity.
When system software enumerates the devices below a given root bridge
it can then decide which CFMW to use. If non interleave is desired
(or possible) it can use the appropriate CFMW for the root bridge in
question. If there are suitable devices to interleave across the
two root bridges then it may use the 3rd CFMS.
A number of other designs were considered but the following constraints
made it hard to adapt existing QEMU approaches to this particular problem.
1) The size must be known before a specific architecture / board brings
up it's PA memory map. We need to set up an appropriate region.
2) Using links to the host bridges provides a clean command line interface
but these links cannot be established until command line devices have
been added.
Hence the two step process used here of first establishing the size,
interleave-ways and granularity + caching the ids of the host bridges
and then, once available finding the actual host bridges so they can
be used later to support interleave decoding.

Applications such as Gnome may use Alt-Tab and Super-Tab for different
purposes, some use Ctrl-arrows so we want to allow qemu to handle
everything when it captures the mouse/keyboard.
However, Mac OS handles some combos like Command-Tab and Ctrl-arrows
at an earlier part of the event handling chain, not letting qemu see it.
We add a global Event Tap that allows qemu to see all events when the
mouse is grabbed. Note that this requires additional permissions.

ARM64 machines like Kunpeng Family Server Chips have a level
of hardware topology in which a group of CPU cores share L3
cache tag or L2 cache. For example, Kunpeng 920 typically
has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node (also represent range
of CPU die), and each cluster has 4 CPU cores. All clusters
share L3 cache data, but CPU cores in each cluster share a
local L3 tag.
Running a guest kernel with Cluster-Aware Scheduling on the
Hosts which have physical clusters, if we can design a vCPU
topology with cluster level for guest kernel and then have
a dedicated vCPU pinning, the guest will gain scheduling
performance improvement from cache affinity of CPU cluster.
So let's enable the support for this new parameter on ARM
virt machines. After this patch, we can define a 4-level
CPU hierarchy like: cpus=*,maxcpus=*,sockets=*,clusters=*,
cores=*,threads=*.

The new Cluster-Aware Scheduling support has landed in Linux 5.16,
which has been proved to benefit the scheduling performance (e.g.
load balance and wake_affine strategy) on both x86_64 and AArch64.
So now in Linux 5.16 we have four-level arch-neutral CPU topology
definition like below and a new scheduler level for clusters.
struct cpu_topology {
int thread_id;
int core_id;
int cluster_id;
int package_id;
int llc_id;
cpumask_t thread_sibling;
cpumask_t core_sibling;
cpumask_t cluster_sibling;
cpumask_t llc_sibling;
}
A cluster generally means a group of CPU cores which share L2 cache
or other mid-level resources, and it is the shared resources that
is used to improve scheduler's behavior. From the point of view of
the size range, it's between CPU die and CPU core. For example, on
some ARM64 Kunpeng servers, we have 6 clusters in each NUMA node,
and 4 CPU cores in each cluster. The 4 CPU cores share a separate
L2 cache and a L3 cache tag, which brings cache affinity advantage.
In virtualization, on the Hosts which have pClusters (physical
clusters), if we can design a vCPU topology with cluster level for
guest kernel and have a dedicated vCPU pinning. A Cluster-Aware
Guest kernel can also make use of the cache affinity of CPU clusters
to gain similar scheduling performance.
This patch adds infrastructure for CPU cluster level topology
configuration and parsing, so that the user can specify cluster
parameter if their machines support it.

1) In the -help text: Delete the extra specific declaration and
describe each topology parameter level by level. Then add a
note to declare that different machines may support different
subsets and the actual meaning of the supported parameters
will vary accordingly.
2) In the rST text: List all the sub-hierarchies currently

The "dbus" display backend exports the QEMU consoles and other
UI-related interfaces over D-Bus.
By default, the connection is established on the session bus, but you
can specify a different bus with the "addr" option.
The backend takes the "org.qemu" service name, while still allowing
further instances to queue on the same name (so you can lookup all the
available instances too). It accepts any number of clients at this
point, although this is expected to evolve with options to restrict
clients, or only accept p2p via fd passing.
The interface is intentionally very close to the internal QEMU API,
and can be introspected or interacted with busctl/dfeet etc:
$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -name MyVM -display dbus
$ busctl --user introspect org.qemu /org/qemu/Display1/Console_0

The single backtick markup in ReST is the "default role". Currently,
Sphinx's default role is called "content". Sphinx suggests you can use
the "Any" role instead to turn any single-backtick enclosed item into a
cross-reference.
This is useful for things like autodoc for Python docstrings, where it's
often nicer to reference other types with `foo` instead of the more
laborious :py:meth:`foo`. It's also useful in multi-domain cases to
easily reference definitions from other Sphinx domains, such as
referencing C code definitions from outside of kerneldoc comments.
Before we do that, though, we'll need to turn all existing usages of the
"content" role to inline verbatim markup wherever it does not correctly
resolve into a cross-refernece by using double backticks instead.

There is one numa config example in qemu-options.hx currently

missing sockets and cores is not immutable and is considered
liable to change. Although we will get maxcpus=2 finally based
on current parser, it's always stable to specify it explicitly.
So "-smp 2,sockets=2,maxcpus=2" will be optimal when we expect

In the real SMP hardware topology world, it's much more likely that
we have high cores-per-socket counts and few sockets totally. While
the current preference of sockets over cores in smp parsing results
in a virtual cpu topology with low cores-per-sockets counts and a
large number of sockets, which is just contrary to the real world.

reflective of the real world and also for the sake of compatibility,
we start to prefer cores over sockets over threads in smp parsing
since machine type 6.2 for different arches.
In this patch, a boolean "smp_prefer_sockets" is added, and we only
enable the old preference on older machines and enable the new one
since type 6.2 for all arches by using the machine compat mechanism.

Currently we directly calculate the omitted cpus based on the given
incomplete collection of parameters. This makes some cmdlines like:
-smp maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,dies=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16
not work. We should probably set the value of cpus to match maxcpus
if it's omitted, which will make above configs start to work.
So the calculation logic of cpus/maxcpus after this patch will be:
When both maxcpus and cpus are omitted, maxcpus will be calculated
from the given parameters and cpus will be set equal to maxcpus.
When only one of maxcpus and cpus is given then the omitted one
will be set to its counterpart's value. Both maxcpus and cpus may
be specified, but maxcpus must be equal to or greater than cpus.
Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines
but allows more incomplete configs to be valid.

In the SMP configuration, we should either provide a topology
parameter with a reasonable value (greater than zero) or just
omit it and QEMU will compute the missing value.
The users shouldn't provide a configuration with any parameter
of it specified as zero (e.g. -smp 8,sockets=0) which could
possibly cause unexpected results in the -smp parsing. So we
deprecate this kind of configurations since 6.2 by adding the
explicit sanity check.

Because SGX EPC is enumerated through CPUID, EPC "devices" need to be
realized prior to realizing the vCPUs themselves, i.e. long before
generic devices are parsed and realized. From a virtualization
perspective, the CPUID aspect also means that EPC sections cannot be
hotplugged without paravirtualizing the guest kernel (hardware does
not support hotplugging as EPC sections must be locked down during
pre-boot to provide EPC's security properties).
So even though EPC sections could be realized through the generic
-devices command, they need to be created much earlier for them to
actually be usable by the guest. Place all EPC sections in a
contiguous block, somewhat arbitrarily starting after RAM above 4g.
Ensuring EPC is in a contiguous region simplifies calculations, e.g.
device memory base, PCI hole, etc..., allows dynamic calculation of the
total EPC size, e.g. exposing EPC to guests does not require -maxmem,
and last but not least allows all of EPC to be enumerated in a single
ACPI entry, which is expected by some kernels, e.g. Windows 7 and 8.
The new compound properties command for sgx like below:
......
-object memory-backend-epc,id=mem1,size=28M,prealloc=on \
-object memory-backend-epc,id=mem2,size=10M \
-M sgx-epc.0.memdev=mem1,sgx-epc.1.memdev=mem2

The alt_grab and ctrl_grab parameter of the -display sdl option prevent
the QAPIfication of the "sdl" part of the -display option, so we should
eventually remove them. And since this feature is also rather niche anyway,
we should not clutter the top-level option list with these, so let's
also deprecate the "-alt-grab" and the "-ctrl-grab" options while we're
at it.
Once the deprecation period of "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab" is over, we
then can finally switch the -display sdl option to use QAPI internally,
too.

The -display sdl option is not using QAPI internally yet, and uses hand-
crafted parsing instead (see parse_display() in vl.c), which is quite
ugly, since most of the other code is using the QAPIfied DisplayOption
already. Unfortunately, the "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab" use underscores in
their names which has recently been forbidden in new QAPI code, so
a straight conversion is not possible. While we could add some exceptions
to the QAPI schema parser for this, the way these parameters have been
designed was maybe a bad idea anyway: First, it's not possible to enable
both parameters at the same time, thus instead of two boolean parameters
it would be better to have only one multi-choice parameter instead.
Second, the naming is also somewhat unfortunate since the "alt_grab"
parameter is not about the ALT key, but rather about the left SHIFT key
that has to be used additionally when the parameter is enabled.
So instead of trying to QAPIfy "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab", let's rather
introduce an alternative to these parameters instead, a new parameter
called "grab-mod" which can either be set to "lshift-lctrl-lalt" or to
"rctrl". In case we ever want to support additional modes later, we can
then also simply extend the list of supported strings here.

Passing arguments to plugins had to be done through "arg=<argname>".
This is redundant and introduces confusion especially when the argument
has a name and value (e.g. `-plugin plugin_name,arg="argname=argvalue"`).
This allows passing plugin arguments directly e.g:
`-plugin plugin_name,argname=argvalue`
For now, passing arguments through "arg=" is still supports but outputs
a deprecation warning.
Also, this commit makes boolean arguments passed to plugins in the
`argname=on|off` form instead of the deprecated short-boolean form.

* Misindentation of the initial line meant that the whole option
section is incorrectly indented in the HTML output compared to
the other -machine options
* The examples weren't indented, which meant that they were formatted
as plain run-on text including outputting the "::" as text.

The `aio-max-batch` parameter will be propagated to AIO engines
and it will be used to control the maximum number of queued requests.
When there are in queue a number of requests equal to `aio-max-batch`,
the engine invokes the system call to forward the requests to the kernel.
This parameter allows us to control the maximum batch size to reduce
the latency that requests might accumulate while queued in the AIO
engine queue.
If `aio-max-batch` is equal to 0 (default value), the AIO engine will
use its default maximum batch size value.

The -smp option help is peculiarly specific about mentioning the CPU
upper limits, but these are wrong. The "PC" target has varying max
CPU counts depending on the machine type picked. Notes about guest
OS limits are inappropriate for QEMU docs. There are way too many
machine types for it to be practical to mention actual limits, and
some limits are even modified by downstream distribtions. Thus it
is better to remove the specific limits entirely.
The CPU topology reporting is also not neccessarily specific to the
PC platform and descriptions around the rules of usage are somewhat
terse. Expand this information with some examples to show effects
of defaulting.
