PEP 8 advises:
In Python, single-quoted strings and double-quoted strings are the
same. This PEP does not make a recommendation for this. Pick a
rule and stick to it. When a string contains single or double
quote characters, however, use the other one to avoid backslashes
in the string. It improves readability.
The QAPI generators succeed at picking a rule, but fail at sticking to
it. Convert a bunch of double-quoted strings to single-quoted ones.

We traditionally mark optional members #optional in the doc comment.
Before commit 3313b61, this was entirely manual.
Commit 3313b61 added some automation because its qapi2texi.py relied
on #optional to determine whether a member is optional. This is no
longer the case since the previous commit: the only thing qapi2texi.py
still does with #optional is stripping it out. We still reject bogus
qapi-schema.json and six places for qga/qapi-schema.json.
Thus, you can't actually rely on #optional to see whether something is
optional. Yet we still make people add it manually. That's just
busy-work.
Drop the code to check, fix up and strip out #optional, along with all
instances of #optional. To keep it out, add code to reject it, to be
dropped again once the dust settles.

For callers of address_space_read and address_space_write this

When using a memory-backend object with prealloc turned on, QEMU
will memset() the first byte in every memory page to zero. While
this might have been acceptable for memory backends associated
with RAM, this corrupts application data for NVDIMMs.
Instead of setting every page to zero, read the current byte
value and then just write that same value back, so we are not
corrupting the original data. Directly write the value instead
of memset()ing it, since there's no benefit to memset for a
single byte write.

Original problem description by Greg Kurz:
> Since commit "9a4c0e220d8a hw/virtio-pci: fix virtio
> behaviour", passing -device virtio-blk-pci.disable-modern=off
> has no effect on 2.6 machine types because the internal
> virtio-pci.disable-modern=on compat property always prevail.
The same bug also affects other abstract type names mentioned on
compat_props by machine-types: apic-common, i386-cpu, pci-device,
powerpc64-cpu, s390-skeys, spapr-pci-host-bridge, usb-device,
virtio-pci, x86_64-cpu.
The right fix for this problem is to make sure compat_props and
-global options are always applied in the order they are
registered, instead of reordering them based on the type
hierarchy. But changing the ordering rules of -global is risky
and might break existing configurations, so we shouldn't do that
on a stable branch.
This is a temporary hack that will work around the bug when
registering compat_props properties: if we find an abstract class
on compat_props, register properties for all its non-abstract
subtypes instead. This will make sure -global won't be overridden
by compat_props, while keeping the existing ordering rules on
-global options.
Note that there's one case that won't be fixed by this hack:
"-global spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge.<option>=<value>" won't be
able to override compat_props, because spapr-pci-host-bridge is
not an abstract class.

Commit 4881658a4b introduced a call to arm_get_cpu_by_id(),
and Coverity noticed that we weren't checking that it didn't
return NULL (CID 1371652).
Normally this won't happen (because all 4 CPUs are expected
to exist), but it's possible the user requested fewer CPUs
on the command line. Handle this possibility by silently
doing nothing, which is the same behaviour as before commit
4881658a4b and also how we handle the other CPU operations
(since we ignore the INVALID_PARAM returns from arm_set_cpu_on()
and friends).
There is a slight behavioural difference to the pre-4881658a4b
situation: the "reset this core" bit will remain set rather
than not being permitted to be set. The imx6 datasheet is
unclear about the behaviour in this odd corner case, so we
opt for the simpler code rather than complicated logic to
maintain identical behaviour.

icount has become much slower after tcg_cpu_exec has stopped
using the BQL. There is also a latent bug that is masked by
the slowness.
The slowness happens because every occurrence of a QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL
timer now has to wake up the I/O thread and wait for it. The rendez-vous
is mediated by the BQL QemuMutex:
- handle_icount_deadline wakes up the I/O thread with BQL taken
- the I/O thread wakes up and waits on the BQL
- the VCPU thread releases the BQL a little later
- the I/O thread raises an interrupt, which calls qemu_cpu_kick
- the VCPU thread notices the interrupt, takes the BQL to
process it and waits on it
All this back and forth is extremely expensive, causing a 6 to 8-fold
slowdown when icount is turned on.
One may think that the issue is that the VCPU thread is too dependent
on the BQL, but then the latent bug comes in. I first tried removing
the BQL completely from the x86 cpu_exec, only to see everything break.
The only way to fix it (and make everything slow again) was to add a dummy
BQL lock/unlock pair.
This is because in -icount mode you really have to process the events
before the CPU restarts executing the next instruction. Therefore, this
series moves the processing of QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL timers straight in
the vCPU thread when running in icount mode.
The required changes include:
- make the timer notification callback wake up TCG's single vCPU thread
when run from another thread. By using async_run_on_cpu, the callback
can override all_cpu_threads_idle() when the CPU is halted.
- move handle_icount_deadline after qemu_tcg_wait_io_event, so that
the timer notification callback is invoked after the dummy work item
wakes up the vCPU thread
- make handle_icount_deadline run the timers instead of just waking the
I/O thread.
- stop processing the timers in the main loop

This optimization is not necessary anymore, because the vCPU now drops
the I/O thread lock even with TCG. Drop it to simplify the code and
avoid the "I/O thread spun for 1000 iterations" warning.

There is no change for now, because the callback just invokes
qemu_notify_event.

This dependency is the wrong way, and we will need util/qemu-timer.h from
sysemu/cpus.h in the next patch.

If the first timer is exactly at the current value of the clock, the
deadline is met and the timer should fire. This fixes itself on the next
iteration of the loop without icount; with icount, however, execution
of instructions will stop exactly at the deadline and won't proceed.
