Markus Armbruster f01338cce6 qapi: Speed up frontend tests
"make check-qapi-schema" takes around 10s user + system time for me.
With -j, it takes a bit over 3s real time.  We have worse tests.  It's
still annoying when you work on the QAPI generator.

Some 1.4s user + system time is consumed by make figuring out what to
do, measured by making a target that does nothing.  There's nothing I
can do about that right now.  But let's see what we can do about the
other 8s.

Almost 7s are spent running test-qapi.py for every test case, the rest
normalizing and diffing test-qapi.py output.  We have 190 test cases.

If I downgrade to python2, it's 4.5s, but python2 is a goner.

Hacking up test-qapi.py to exit(0) without doing anything makes it
only marginally faster.  The problem is Python startup overhead.

Our configure puts -B into $(PYTHON).  Running without -B is faster:
4.4s.

We could improve the Makefile to run test cases only when the test
case or the generator changed.  But I'm after improvement in the case
where the generator changed.

test-qapi.py is designed to be the simplest possible building block
for a shell script to do the complete job (it's actually a Makefile,
not a shell script; no real difference).  Python is just not meant for
that.  It's for bigger blocks.

Move the post-processing and diffing into test-qapi.py, and make it
capable of testing multiple schema files.  Set executable bits while
there.

Running it once per test case now takes slightly longer than 8s.  But
running it once for all of them takes under 0.2s.

Messing with the Makefile to run it only on the tests that need
retesting is clearly not worth the bother.

Expected error output changes because the new normalization strips off
$(SRCDIR)/tests/qapi-schema/ instead of just $(SRCDIR)/.

The .exit files go away, because there is no exit status to test
anymore.

Markus Armbruster eeb57c85da qapi: Avoid redundant definition references in error messages
Many error messages refer to the offending definition even though

Markus Armbruster 2ab218aad6 qapi: Change frontend error messages to start with lower case
Starting error messages with a capital letter complicates things when
text can get interpolated both at the beginning and in the middle of
an error message.  The next patch will do that.  Switch to lower case
to keep it simpler.

For what it's worth, the GNU Coding Standards advise the message
"should not begin with a capital letter when it follows a program name
and/or file name, because that isn’t the beginning of a sentence. (The
sentence conceptually starts at the beginning of the line.)"

While there, avoid breaking lines containing multiple arguments in the
middle of an argument.

Markus Armbruster 638c4af931 qapi: Clean up member name case checking
QAPISchemaMember.check_clash() checks for member names that map to the
same c_name().  Takes care of rejecting duplicate names.

It also checks a naming rule: no uppercase in member names.  That's a
rather odd place to do it.  Enforcing naming rules is
check_name_str()'s job.

qapi-code-gen.txt specifies the name case rule applies to the name as
it appears in the schema.  check_clash() checks c_name(name) instead.
No difference, as c_name() leaves alone case, but unclean.

Move the name case check into check_name_str(), less the c_name().
New argument @permit_upper suppresses it.  Pass permit_upper=True for
definitions (which are not members), and when the member's owner is
whitelisted with pragma name-case-whitelist.

Bonus: name-case-whitelist now applies to a union's inline base, too.
Update qapi/qapi-schema.json pragma to whitelist union CpuInfo instead
of CpuInfo's implicit base type's name q_obj_CpuInfo-base.

Markus Armbruster 7be6c51194 qapi: Prefix frontend errors with an "in definition" line
We take pains to include the offending expression in error messages,
e.g.

    tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'

But not always:

    tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings

Instead of improving them one by one, report the offending expression
whenever it is known, like this:

    tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json: In enum 'TestIfEnum':
    tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings

Error messages that mention the offending expression become a bit
redundant, e.g.

    tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json: In alternate 'Alt':
    tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'

I'll take care of that later in this series.

Markus Armbruster 87c16dceca qapi: Back out doc comments added just to please qapi.py
This reverts commit 3313b61's changes to tests/qapi-schema/, except
for tests/qapi-schema/doc-*.

We could keep some of these doc comments to serve as positive test
cases.  However, they don't actually add to what we get from doc
comment use in actual schemas, as we we don't test output matches
expectations, and don't systematically cover doc comment features.
Proper positive test coverage would be nice.

Marc-André Lureau 3313b6124b qapi: add qapi2texi script
As the name suggests, the qapi2texi script converts JSON QAPI
description into a texi file suitable for different target
formats (info/man/txt/pdf/html...).

It parses the following kind of blocks:

Free-form:

  ##
  # = Section
  # == Subsection
  #
  # Some text foo with *emphasis*
  # 1. with a list
  # 2. like that
  #
  # And some code:
  # | $ echo foo
  # | -> do this
  # | <- get that
  #
  ##

Symbol description:

  ##
  # @symbol:
  #
  # Symbol body ditto ergo sum. Foo bar
  # baz ding.
  #
  # @param1: the frob to frobnicate
  # @param2: #optional how hard to frobnicate
  #
  # Returns: the frobnicated frob.
  #          If frob isn't frobnicatable, GenericError.
  #
  # Since: version
  # Notes: notes, comments can have
  #        - itemized list
  #        - like this
  #
  # Example:
  #
  # -> { "execute": "quit" }
  # <- { "return": {} }
  #
  ##

That's roughly following the following EBNF grammar:

api_comment = "##\n" comment "##\n"
comment = freeform_comment | symbol_comment
freeform_comment = { "# " text "\n" | "#\n" }
symbol_comment = "# @" name ":\n" { member | tag_section | freeform_comment }
member = "# @" name ':' [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
tag_section = "# " ( "Returns:", "Since:", "Note:", "Notes:", "Example:", "Examples:" ) [ text ]  "\n" freeform_comment
text = free text with markup

Note that the grammar is ambiguous: a line "# @foo:\n" can be parsed
both as freeform_comment and as symbol_comment.  The actual parser
recognizes symbol_comment.

See docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more details.

Deficiencies and limitations:
- the generated QMP documentation includes internal types
- union type support is lacking
- type information is lacking in generated documentation
- doc comment error message positions are imprecise, they point
  to the beginning of the comment.
- a few minor issues, all marked TODO/FIXME in the code

Eric Blake 893e1f2c51 qapi: Enforce (or whitelist) case conventions on qapi members
We document that members of enums and objects should be
'lower-case', although we were not enforcing it.  We have to
whitelist a few pre-existing entities that violate the norms.
Add three new tests to expose the new error message, each of
which first uses the whitelisted name 'UuidInfo' to prove the
whitelist works, then triggers the failure (this is the same
pattern used in the existing returns-whitelist.json test).

Note that by adding this check, we have effectively forbidden
an entity with a case-insensitive clash of member names, for
any entity that is not on the whitelist (although there is
still the possibility to clash via '-' vs. '_').

Not done here: a future patch should also add naming convention
support and whitelist exceptions for command, event, and type
names.

The additions to QAPISchemaMember.check_clash() check whether
info['name'] is in the whitelist (the top-most entity name at
the point 'info' tracks), rather than self.owner (the type,
possibly implicit, that directly owns the member), because it
is easier to maintain the whitelist by the names actually in
the user's .json file, rather than worrying about the names
of implicit types.
