Yang Zhong a66bd91f03 qapi: Cleanup SGX related comments and restore @section-size
The SGX NUMA patches were merged into Qemu 7.0 release, we need
clarify detailed version history information and also change
some related comments, which make SGX related comments clearer.

The QMP command schema promises backwards compatibility as standard.
We temporarily restore "@section-size", which can avoid incompatible
API breakage. The "@section-size" will be deprecated in 7.2 version.

Thomas Huth fe86fe237c qemu-options: Remove the deprecated -no-quit option
This option was just a wrapper around the -display ...,window-close=off
parameter, and the name "no-quit" is rather confusing compared to
"window-close" (since there are still other means to quit the emulator),
so let's remove this now.

Thomas Huth 26e8bed611 ppc: Mark the 'taihu' machine as deprecated
The PPC 405 CPU is a system-on-a-chip, so all 405 machines are very similar,
except for some external periphery. However, the periphery of the 'taihu'
machine is hardly emulated at all (e.g. neither the LCD nor the USB part had
been implemented), so there is not much value added by this board. The users
can use the 'ref405ep' machine to test their PPC405 code instead.

Thomas Huth 6b717a8d44 hw/misc/sifive_u_otp: Use IF_PFLASH for the OTP device instead of IF_NONE
Configuring a drive with "if=none" is meant for creation of a backend
only, it should not get automatically assigned to a device frontend.
Use "if=pflash" for the One-Time-Programmable device instead (like
it is e.g. also done for the efuse device in hw/arm/xlnx-zcu102.c).

Since the old way of configuring the device has already been published
with the previous QEMU versions, we cannot remove this immediately, but
have to deprecate it and support it for at least two more releases.

While introducing a non-QemuOpts code path for device creation for JSON
-device, we noticed that QMP device_add doesn't check its input
correctly (accepting arguments that should have been rejected), and that
users may be relying on this behaviour (libvirt did until it was fixed
recently).

Let's use a deprecation period before we fix this bug in QEMU to avoid
nasty surprises for users.

Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy 1084159b31 qapi: deprecate drive-backup
Modern way is using blockdev-add + blockdev-backup, which provides a
lot more control on how target is opened.

As example of drive-backup problems consider the following:

User of drive-backup expects that target will be opened in the same
cache and aio mode as source. Corresponding logic is in
drive_backup_prepare(), where we take bs->open_flags of source.

It works rather bad if source was added by blockdev-add. Assume source
is qcow2 image. On blockdev-add we should specify aio and cache options
for file child of qcow2 node. What happens next:

drive_backup_prepare() looks at bs->open_flags of qcow2 source node.
But there no BDRV_O_NOCAHE neither BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO: BDRV_O_NOCAHE is
places in bs->file->bs->open_flags, and BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO is nowhere,
as file-posix parse options and simply set s->use_linux_aio.

The documentation is updated in a minimal way, so that drive-backup is
noted only as a deprecated command, and blockdev-backup used in most of
places.

Paolo Bonzini d12b64eaeb vl: deprecate -watchdog
-watchdog is the same as -device except that it is case insensitive (and it
allows only watchdog devices of course).  Now that "-device help" can list
as such the available watchdog devices, we can deprecate it.

Note that even though -watchdog tries to be case insensitive, it fails
at that: "-watchdog i6300xyz" fails with "Unknown -watchdog device",
but "-watchdog i6300ESB" also fails (when the generated -device option
is processed) with an error "'i6300ESB' is not a valid device model name".
For this reason, the documentation update does not mention the case
insensitivity of -watchdog.

Markus Armbruster 75ecee7262 qapi: Enable enum member introspection to show more than name
The next commit will add feature flags to enum members.  There's a
problem, though: query-qmp-schema shows an enum type's members as an
array of member names (SchemaInfoEnum member @values).  If it showed
an array of objects with a name member, we could simply add more
members to these objects.  Since it's just strings, we can't.

I can see three ways to correct this design mistake:

1. Do it the way we should have done it, plus compatibility goo.

   We want a ['SchemaInfoEnumMember'] member in SchemaInfoEnum.  Since
   changing @values would be a compatibility break, add a new member
   @members instead.

   @values is now redundant.  In my testing, output of
   qemu-system-x86_64's query-qmp-schema grows by 11% (18.5KiB).

   We can deprecate @values now and drop it later.  This will break
   outmoded clients.  Well-behaved clients such as libvirt are
   expected to break cleanly.

2. Like 1, but omit "boring" elements of @member, and empty @member.

   @values does not become redundant.  @members augments it.  Somewhat
   cumbersome, but output of query-qmp-schema grows only as we make
   enum members non-boring.

   There is nothing to deprecate here.

3. Versioned query-qmp-schema.

   query-qmp-schema provides either @values or @members.  The QMP
   client can select which version it wants.  There is no redundant
   output.

   We can deprecate old versions and eventually drop them.  This will
   break outmoded clients.  Breaking cleanly is easier than for 1.

   While 1 and 2 operate within the common rules for compatible
   evolution apply (section "Compatibility considerations" in
   docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst), 3 bypasses them.  Attractive when
   operating within the rules is just too awkward.  Not the case here.

This commit implements 1.  Libvirt developers prefer it.

Deprecate @values in favour of @members.  Since query-qmp-schema
compatibility is pretty fundamental for management applications, an
extended grace period is advised.

Yanan Wang c2511b1632 machine: Deprecate "parameter=0" SMP configurations
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.

Daniel Henrique Barboza d43f1670c7 qapi/qdev.json: add DEVICE_UNPLUG_GUEST_ERROR QAPI event
At this moment we only provide one event to report a hotunplug error,
MEM_UNPLUG_ERROR. As of Linux kernel 5.12 and QEMU 6.0.0, the pseries
machine is now able to report unplug errors for other device types, such
as CPUs.

Instead of creating a (device_type)_UNPLUG_ERROR for each new device,
create a generic DEVICE_UNPLUG_GUEST_ERROR event that can be used by all
guest side unplug errors in the future. This event has a similar API as
the existing DEVICE_DELETED event, always providing the QOM path of the
device and dev->id if there's any.

With this new generic event, MEM_UNPLUG_ERROR is now marked as deprecated.

Using overlines makes it clear that individual documents can use e.g.

included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied

useful since sometimes files are included from multiple places.

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.

Yanan Wang e2cc363bbb docs/about: Unify the subject format
There is a mixture of "since/removed in X.Y" vs "since/removed in X.Y.Z"
in the subjects in deprecated.rst/removed-features.rst. It will be better
to use an unified format. It seems unlikely that we will ever deprecate
something in a stable release, and even more unlikely that we'll remove
something in one, so the short versions look like the thing we want to
standardize on.

So here we unify the subject format in deprecated.rst to "since X.Y", and
unify the subject format in removed-features.rst to "removed in X.Y".

Peter Maydell 6df743dc31 docs: Format literals correctly
In rST markup, single backticks `like this` represent "interpreted
text", which can be handled as a bunch of different things if tagged
with a specific "role":
https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#interpreted-text
(the most common one for us is "reference to a URL, which gets
hyperlinked").

The default "role" if none is specified is "title_reference",
intended for references to book or article titles, and it renders
into the HTML as <cite>...</cite> (usually comes out as italics).

This commit fixes various places in the manual which were
using single backticks when double backticks (for literal text)
were intended, and covers those files where only one or two
instances of these errors were made.

Peter Maydell f347839258 docs: Move deprecation, build and license info out of system/
Now that we have a single Sphinx manual rather than multiple manuals,
we can provide a better place for "common to all of QEMU" information
like the deprecation notices, build platforms, license information,
which we currently have in the system/ manual even though it applies
to all of QEMU.

Create a new directory about/ on the same level as system/, user/,
etc, and move these documents there.
