The same way the arch tag is being used as a fallback for the arch
parameter, let's do the same for QEMU's machine and avoid some boiler
plate code.
This is now possible because, since Avocado 72.0, it's possible to use
tags with names that match the machine types on QEMU.

Allow cpu 'host' to enable SVE when it's available, unless the
user chooses to disable it with the added 'sve=off' cpu property.
Also give the user the ability to select vector lengths with the
sve<N> properties. We don't adopt 'max' cpu's other sve property,
sve-max-vq, because that property is difficult to use with KVM.
That property assumes all vector lengths in the range from 1 up
to and including the specified maximum length are supported, but
there may be optional lengths not supported by the host in that
range. With KVM one must be more specific when enabling vector
lengths.

Introduce cpu properties to give fine control over SVE vector lengths.
We introduce a property for each valid length up to the current
maximum supported, which is 2048-bits. The properties are named, e.g.
sve128, sve256, sve384, sve512, ..., where the number is the number of
bits. See the updates to docs/arm-cpu-features.rst for a description
of the semantics and for example uses.
Note, as sve-max-vq is still present and we'd like to be able to
support qmp_query_cpu_model_expansion with guests launched with e.g.
-cpu max,sve-max-vq=8 on their command lines, then we do allow
sve-max-vq and sve<N> properties to be provided at the same time, but
this is not recommended, and is why sve-max-vq is not mentioned in the
document. If sve-max-vq is provided then it enables all lengths smaller
than and including the max and disables all lengths larger. It also has
the side-effect that no larger lengths may be enabled and that the max
itself cannot be disabled. Smaller non-power-of-two lengths may,
however, be disabled, e.g. -cpu max,sve-max-vq=4,sve384=off provides a
guest the vector lengths 128, 256, and 512 bits.

Add support for the query-cpu-model-expansion QMP command to Arm. We
do this selectively, only exposing CPU properties which represent
optional CPU features which the user may want to enable/disable.
Additionally we restrict the list of queryable cpu models to 'max',
'host', or the current type when KVM is in use. And, finally, we only
implement expansion type 'full', as Arm does not yet have a "base"
CPU type. More details and example queries are described in a new
document (docs/arm-cpu-features.rst).
Note, certainly more features may be added to the list of advertised
features, e.g. 'vfp' and 'neon'. The only requirement is that we can
detect invalid configurations and emit failures at QMP query time.
For 'vfp' and 'neon' this will require some refactoring to share a
validation function between the QMP query and the CPU realize
functions.

This patch adds support to handle failover device pairs of a virtio-net
device and a (vfio-)pci device, where the virtio-net acts as the standby
device and the (vfio-)pci device as the primary.
The general idea is that we have a pair of devices, a (vfio-)pci and a
emulated (virtio-net) device. Before migration the vfio device is
unplugged and data flows to the emulated device, on the target side
another (vfio-)pci device is plugged in to take over the data-path. In the
guest the net_failover module will pair net devices with the same MAC
address.
To achieve this we need:
1. Provide a callback function for the should_be_hidden DeviceListener.
It is called when the primary device is plugged in. Evaluate the QOpt
passed in to check if it is the matching primary device. It returns
if the device should be hidden or not.
When it should be hidden it stores the device options in the VirtioNet
struct and the device is added once the VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature is
negotiated during virtio feature negotiation.
If the virtio-net devices are not realized at the time the (vfio-)pci
devices are realized, we need to connect the devices later. This way
we make sure primary and standby devices can be specified in any
order.
2. Register a callback for migration status notifier. When called it
will unplug its primary device before the migration happens.
3. Register a callback for the migration code that checks if a device
needs to be unplugged from the guest.

Hyper-V TLFS specifies this enlightenment as:
"NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing - Indicates that a virtual processor will never
share a physical core with another virtual processor, except for virtual
processors that are reported as sibling SMT threads. This can be used as an
optimization to avoid the performance overhead of STIBP".
However, STIBP is not the only implication. It was found that Hyper-V on
KVM doesn't pass MD_CLEAR bit to its guests if it doesn't see
NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing bit.
KVM reports NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID to
indicate that SMT on the host is impossible (not supported of forcefully
disabled).
Implement NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing support in QEMU as tristate:
'off' - the feature is disabled (default)
'on' - the feature is enabled. This is only safe if vCPUS are properly
pinned and correct topology is exposed. As CPU pinning is done outside
of QEMU the enablement decision will be made on a higher level.
'auto' - copy KVM setting. As during live migration SMT settings on the
source and destination host may differ this requires us to add a migration
blocker.

We represent the parse tree as OrderedDict. We fetch optional dict
members with .get(). So far, so good.
We represent null literals as None. .get() returns None both for
"absent" and for "present, value is the null literal". Uh-oh.
Test features-if-invalid exposes this bug: "'if': null" is
misinterpreted as absent "if".
We added null to the schema language to "allow [...] an explicit
default value" (commit e53188ada5 "qapi: Allow true, false and null in
schema json", v2.4.0). Hasn't happened; null is still unused except
as generic invalid value in tests/.
To fix, we'd have to replace .get() by something more careful, or
represent null differently. Feasible, but we got more and bigger fish
to fry right now. Remove the null literal from the schema language.
Replace null in tests by another invalid value.
Test features-if-invalid now behaves as it should.

The patterns contain placeholders we don't define anywhere; their

Documentation for QAPI schema conditionals (commit 967c885108,

the schema" then provide additional syntax for types, commands and
events. I hate that. Fix the sections documenting types, commands
and events to provide accurate syntax, and point to "Features" and
"Configuring the schema" for details.
We talk about "(top-level) expressions other than include and pragma".
Adopt more convenient terminology: a (top-level) expression is either
a directive (include or pragma) or a definition (anything else).
Avoid the terms "dictionary" and "key". Stick to JSON terminology
"object" and "member name" instead.

Section "QMP/Guest agent schema" starts with a brief introduction,
then subsection "Comments", then subsection "Schema overview" (more
elaborate introduction), and only then talks about schema entities
like types, commands, and so forth.
Subsection "Comments" is long and tiring: almost 500 words, mostly
about doc comments. Move the doc comment part to its own subsection
"Documentation comments" at the very end of "QMP/Guest agent schema".
Subsection "Schema overview" explains naming rules at considerable
length: 250 words. Move this part to its own subsection "Naming rules
and reserved names" right after the subsections on schema entities.
Subsection "Enumeration types" is wedged between "Struct types" and
"Union types". Move it before "Struct types".

Absent flat union branches default to the empty struct (since commit
800877bb16 "qapi: allow empty branches in flat unions"). But an
attempt to omit all of them is rejected with "Union 'FOO' has no
branches". Harmless oddity, but it's easy to avoid, so do that.

[Commit message typo fixed]
The specification claims "Each expression that isn't an include
directive may be preceded by a documentation block", but the code also
rejects them for pragma directives. The code is correct. Fix the
specification.
The specification reserves member names starting with 'has_', but the
code also reserves name 'u'. Fix the specification.
The specification claims "The string 'max' is not allowed as an enum
value". Untrue. Fix the specification. While there, delete the
naming advice, because it's redundant with the naming rules in section
"Schema overview"
The specification claims "No branch of the union can be named 'max',
as this would collide with the implicit enum". Untrue. Fix the
specification.
The specification claims "It is not allowed to name an event 'MAX',
since the generator also produces a C enumeration of all event names
with a generated _MAX value at the end." Untrue. Fix the
specification.
The specification claims "All branches of the union must be complex
types", but the code permits only struct types. The code is correct.
Fix the specification.
The specification claims a command's return type "must be the string
name of a complex or built-in type, a one-element array containing the
name of a complex or built-in type" unless the command is in pragma
'returns-whitelist'. The code does not permit built-in types. Fix
the specification.

Commands and events can define their argument type inline (default) or
by referring to another type ('boxed': true, since commit c818408e44
"qapi: Implement boxed types for commands/events", v2.7.0). The
unboxed inline definition is an (anonymous) struct type. The boxed
type may be a struct, union, or alternate type.
The latter is problematic: docs/interop/qemu-spec.txt requires the
value of the 'data' key to be a json-object, but any non-degenerate
alternate type has at least one branch that isn't.
Fortunately, we haven't made use of alternates in this context outside
tests/. Drop support for them.
QAPISchemaAlternateType.is_empty() is now unused. Drop it, too.

This allows to receive mouse and keyboard events from
a Barrier server.
This is enabled by adding the following parameter on the
command line
... -object input-barrier,id=$id,name=$name ...
Where $name is the name declared in the screens section of barrier.conf
The barrier server (barriers) must be configured and must run on the
local host.
For instance:
section: screens
localhost:
...
VM-1:
...
end
section: links
localhost:
right = VM-1
VM-1:
left = localhost
end
Then on the QEMU command line:
... -object input-barrier,id=barrie0,name=VM-1 ...
When the mouse will move out of the screen of the local host on
the right, the mouse and the keyboard will be grabbed and all
related events will be send to the guest OS.
This is usefull when qemu is configured without emulated graphic card
but with a VFIO attached graphic card.
More information about Barrier can be found at:
https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
This avoids to install the Barrier server in the guest OS,
for instance when it is not supported or during the installation.

Commit fe0480d6 and friends added BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK as a way to
avoid wasting time on a preliminary write-zero request that will later
be rewritten by actual data, if it is known that the write-zero
request will use a slow fallback; but in doing so, could not optimize
for NBD. The NBD specification is now considering an extension that
will allow passing on those semantics; this patch updates the new
protocol bits and 'qemu-nbd --list' output to recognize the bit, as
well as the new errno value possible when using the new flag; while
upcoming patches will improve the client to use the feature when
present, and the server to advertise support for it.
The NBD spec recommends (but not requires) that ENOTSUP be avoided for
all but failures of a fast zero (the only time it is mandatory to
avoid an ENOTSUP failure is when fast zero is supported but not
requested during write zeroes; the questionable use is for ENOTSUP to
other actions like a normal write request). However, clients that get
an unexpected ENOTSUP will either already be treating it the same as
EINVAL, or may appreciate the extra bit of information. We were
equally loose for returning EOVERFLOW in more situations than
recommended by the spec, so if it turns out to be a problem in
practice, a later patch can tighten handling for both error codes.

[eblake: tweak commit message, also handle EOPNOTSUPP]
The NBD specification defines NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, which can be
advertised when the server promises cache consistency between
simultaneous clients (basically, rules that determine what FUA and
flush from one client are able to guarantee for reads from another
client). When we don't permit simultaneous clients (such as qemu-nbd
without -e), the bit makes no sense; and for writable images, we
probably have a lot more work before we can declare that actions from
one client are cache-consistent with actions from another. But for
read-only images, where flush isn't changing any data, we might as
well advertise multi-conn support. What's more, advertisement of the
bit makes it easier for clients to determine if 'qemu-nbd -e' was in
use, where a second connection will succeed rather than hang until the
first client goes away.
This patch affects qemu as server in advertising the bit. We may want
to consider patches to qemu as client to attempt parallel connections
for higher throughput by spreading the load over those connections
when a server advertises multi-conn, but for now sticking to one
connection per nbd:// BDS is okay.

In our documentation, we use a mix of "$QEMU", "qemu-system-i386" and
"qemu-system-x86_64" when we give examples to the users how to run
QEMU. Some more consistency would be good here. Also some distributions
use different names for the QEMU binary (e.g. "qemu-kvm" in RHEL), so
providing more flexibility here would also be good. Thus let's define
some variables for the names of the QEMU command and use those in the
documentation instead: @value{qemu_system} for generic examples, and
@value{qemu_system_x86} for examples that only work with the x86
binaries.
