46534309e6 qapi: Forbid 'any' inside an alternate
The whole point of an alternate is to allow some type-safety while
still accepting more than one JSON type.  Meanwhile, the 'any'
type exists to bypass type-safety altogether.  The two are
incompatible: you can't accept every type, and still tell which
branch of the alternate to use for the parse; fix this to give a
sane error instead of a Python stack trace.

Note that other types that can't be alternate members are caught
earlier, by check_type().

064097d919 nbd: convert block client to use I/O channels for connection setup
This converts the NBD block driver client to use the QIOChannelSocket
class for initial connection setup. The NbdClientSession struct has
two pointers, one to the master QIOChannelSocket providing the raw
data channel, and one to a QIOChannel which is the current channel
used for I/O. Initially the two point to the same object, but when
TLS support is added, they will point to different objects.

The qemu-img & qemu-io tools now need to use MODULE_INIT_QOM to
ensure the QIOChannel object classes are registered. The qemu-nbd
tool already did this.

In this initial conversion though, all I/O is still actually done
using the raw POSIX sockets APIs.

ac1d887849 crypto: add QCryptoSecret object class for password/key handling
Introduce a new QCryptoSecret object class which will be used
for providing passwords and keys to other objects which need
sensitive credentials.

The new object can provide secret values directly as properties,
or indirectly via a file. The latter includes support for file
descriptor passing syntax on UNIX platforms. Ordinarily passing
secret values directly as properties is insecure, since they
are visible in process listings, or in log files showing the
CLI args / QMP commands. It is possible to use AES-256-CBC to
encrypt the secret values though, in which case all that is
visible is the ciphertext.  For ad hoc developer testing though,
it is fine to provide the secrets directly without encryption
so this is not explicitly forbidden.

The anticipated scenario is that libvirtd will create a random
master key per QEMU instance (eg /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$VMNAME.key)
and will use that key to encrypt all passwords it provides to
QEMU via '-object secret,....'.  This avoids the need for libvirt
(or other mgmt apps) to worry about file descriptor passing.

It also makes life easier for people who are scripting the
management of QEMU, for whom FD passing is significantly more
complex.

Providing data inline (insecure, only for ad hoc dev testing)

  $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein

Providing data indirectly in raw format

  printf "letmein" > mypasswd.txt
  $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt

Providing data indirectly in base64 format

  $QEMU -object secret,id=sec0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64

Providing data with encryption

  $QEMU -object secret,id=master0,file=mykey.b64,format=base64 \
        -object secret,id=sec0,data=[base64 ciphertext],\
	           keyid=master0,iv=[base64 IV],format=base64

Note that 'format' here refers to the format of the ciphertext
data. The decrypted data must always be in raw byte format.

More examples are shown in the updated docs.

b02db2d920 io: add QIOTask class for async operations
A number of I/O operations need to be performed asynchronously
to avoid blocking the main loop. The caller of such APIs need
to provide a callback to be invoked on completion/error and
need access to the error, if any. The small QIOTask provides
a simple framework for dealing with such probes. The API
docs inline provide an outline of how this is to be used.

Some functions don't have the ability to run asynchronously
(eg getaddrinfo always blocks), so to facilitate their use,
the task class provides a mechanism to run a blocking
function in a thread, while triggering the completion
callback in the main event loop thread. This easily allows
any synchronous function to be made asynchronous, albeit
at the cost of spawning a thread.

In this series, the QIOTask class will be used for things like
the TLS handshake, the websockets handshake and TCP connect()
progress.

The concept of QIOTask is inspired by the GAsyncResult
interface / GTask class in the GIO libraries. The min
version requirements on glib don't allow those to be
used from QEMU, so QIOTask provides a facsimilie which
can be easily switched to GTask in the future if the
min version is increased.

bac5429ccb qapi: Detect base class loops
It should be fairly obvious that qapi base classes need to
form an acyclic graph, since QMP cannot specify the same
key more than once, while base classes are included as flat
members alongside other members added by the child.  But the
old check_member_clash() parser function was not prepared to
check for this, and entered an infinite recursion (at least
until Python gives up, complaining about nesting too deep).

Now that check_member_clash() has been recently removed,
attempts at self-inheritance trigger an assertion failure
introduced by commit ac88219a.  The obvious fix is to turn
the assertion into a conditional.

This patch includes both the tests (base-cycle-direct and
base-cycle-indirect) and the fix, since the .err file output
for the unfixed case is not useful (particularly when it was
warning about unbounded recursion, as that limit may be
platform-specific).

We don't need to worry about cycles in flat unions (neither
the base type nor the type of a variant can be a union) nor
in alternates (alternate branches cannot themselves be an
alternate).  But if we later allow a union type as a variant,
we will still be okay, as QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariants.check()
triggers the same QAPISchemaObjectType.check() that will
detect any loops.

Likewise, we need not worry about the case of diamond
inheritance where the same class is used for a flat union base
class and one of its variants; either both uses will introduce
a collision in trying to insert the same member name twice, or
the shared type is empty and changes nothing.

01cfbaa4c3 qapi: Move duplicate collision checks to schema check()
With the recent commit 'qapi: Detect collisions in C member
names', we have two different locations for detecting clashes -
one at parse time, and another at QAPISchema*.check() time.
Remove all of the ad hoc parser checks, and delete associated
code (for example, the global check_member_clash() method is
no longer needed).

Testing this showed that the test union-bad-branch wasn't adding
much: union-clash-branches also exposes the error message when
branches collide, and we've recently fixed things to avoid an
implicit collision with max.  Likewise, the error for
enum-clash-member changes to report our new detection of
upper case in a value name, unless we modify the test to use
all lower case.

The wording of several error messages has changed, but the
change is generally an improvement rather than a regression.

No change to generated code.

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.

59a92feedc qapi: Tighten the regex on valid names
We already documented that qapi names should match specific
patterns (such as starting with a letter unless it was an enum
value or a downstream extension).  Tighten that from a suggestion
into a hard requirement, which frees up names beginning with a
single underscore for qapi internal usage.

The tighter regex doesn't forbid everything insane that a user
could provide (for example, a user could name a type 'Foo-lookup'
to collide with the generated 'Foo_lookup[]' for an enum 'Foo'),
but does a good job at protecting the most obvious uses, and
also happens to reserve single leading underscore for later use.

The handling of enum values starting with a digit is tricky:
commit 9fb081e introduced a subtle bug by using c_name() on
a munged value, which would allow an enum to include the
member 'q-int' in spite of our reservation.  Furthermore,
munging with a leading '_' would fail our tighter regex.  So
fix it by only munging for leading digits (which are never
ticklish in c_name()) and by using a different prefix (I
picked 'D', although any letter should do).

Add new tests, reserved-member-underscore and reserved-enum-q,
to demonstrate the tighter checking.

5e59baf90a qapi: Reserve 'u' member name
Now that we have separated union tag values from colliding with
non-variant C names, by naming the union 'u', we should reserve
this name for our use.  Note that we want to forbid 'u' even in
a struct with no variants, because it is possible for a future
qemu release to extend QMP in a backwards-compatible manner while
converting from a struct to a flat union.  Fortunately, no
existing clients were using this member name.  If we ever find
the need for QMP to have a member 'u', we could at that time
relax things, perhaps by having c_name() munge the QMP member to
'q_u'.

Note that we cannot forbid 'u' everywhere (by adding the
rejection code to check_name()), because the existing QKeyCode
enum already uses it; therefore we only reserve it as a struct
type member name.

ddf2190896 qapi: Unbox base members
Rather than storing a base class as a pointer to a box, just
store the fields of that base class in the same order, so that
a child struct can be directly cast to its parent.  This gives
less malloc overhead, less pointer dereferencing, and even less
generated code.  Compare to the earlier commit 1e6c1616a "qapi:
Generate a nicer struct for flat unions" (although that patch
had fewer places to change, as less of qemu was directly using
qapi structs for flat unions).  It also allows us to turn on
automatic type-safe wrappers for upcasting to the base class
of a struct.

Changes to the generated code look like this in qapi-types.h:

| struct SpiceChannel {
|-    SpiceBasicInfo *base;
|+    /* Members inherited from SpiceBasicInfo: */
|+    char *host;
|+    char *port;
|+    NetworkAddressFamily family;
|+    /* Own members: */
|     int64_t connection_id;

as well as additional upcast functions like qapi_SpiceChannel_base().
Meanwhile, changes to qapi-visit.c look like:

| static void visit_type_SpiceChannel_fields(Visitor *v, SpiceChannel **obj, Error **errp)
| {
|     Error *err = NULL;
|
|-    visit_type_implicit_SpiceBasicInfo(v, &(*obj)->base, &err);
|+    visit_type_SpiceBasicInfo_fields(v, (SpiceBasicInfo **)obj, &err);
|     if (err) {

(the cast is necessary, since our upcast wrappers only deal with a
single pointer, not pointer-to-pointer); plus the wholesale
elimination of some now-unused visit_type_implicit_FOO() functions.

Without boxing, the corner case of one empty struct having
another empty struct as its base type now requires inserting a
dummy member (previously, the 'Base *base' member sufficed).

And now that we no longer consume a 'base' member in the generated
C struct, we can delete the former negative struct-base-clash-base
test.

1976708321 tests/qapi-schema: Test for reserved names, empty struct
Add some testsuite coverage to ensure future patches are on
the right track:

Our current C representation of qapi arrays is done by appending
'List' to the element name; but we are not preventing the
creation of an object type with the same name.  Add
reserved-type-list.json to test this.  Then rename
enum-union-clash.json to reserved-type-kind.json to cover the
reservation that we DO detect, and shorten it to match the fact
that the name is reserved even if there is no clash.

We are failing to detect a collision between a dictionary member
and the implicit 'has_*' flag for another optional member. The
easiest fix would be for a future patch to reserve the entire
"has[-_]" namespace for member names (the collision is also
possible for branch names within flat unions, but only as long as
branch names can collide with (non-variant) members; however,
since future patches are about to remove that, it is not worth
testing here). Add reserved-member-has.json to test this.

A similar collision exists between a dictionary member where
c_name() munges what might otherwise be a reserved name to start
with 'q_', and another member explicitly starts with "q[-_]".
Again, the easiest solution for a future patch will be reserving
the entire namespace, but here for commands as well as members.
Add reserved-member-q.json and reserved-command-q.json to test
this; separate tests since arguably our munging of command 'unix'
to 'qmp_q_unix()' could be done without a q_, which is different
than the munging of a member 'unix' to 'foo.q_unix'.

Finally, our testsuite does not have any compilation coverage
of struct inheritance with empty qapi structs.  Update
qapi-schema-test.json to test this.

Note that there is currently no technical reason to forbid type
name patterns from member names, or member name patterns from
types, since the two are not in the same namespace in C and
won't collide; but it's not worth adding positive tests of these
corner cases at this time, especially while there is other churn
pending in patches that rearrange which collisions actually
happen.

3595e2eb0a tests/vhost-user-bridge: add vhost-user bridge application
The test existing in QEMU for vhost-user feature is good for
testing the management protocol, but does not allow actual
traffic. This patch proposes Vhost-User Bridge application, which
can serve the QEMU community as a comprehensive test by running
real internet traffic by means of vhost-user interface.

Essentially the Vhost-User Bridge is a very basic vhost-user
backend for QEMU. It runs as a standalone user-level process.
For packet processing Vhost-User Bridge uses an additional QEMU
instance with a backend configured by "-net socket" as a shared
VLAN.  This way another QEMU virtual machine can effectively
serve as a shared bus by means of UDP communication.

For a more simple setup, the another QEMU instance running the
SLiRP backend can be the same QEMU instance running vhost-user
client.

This Vhost-User Bridge implementation is very preliminary.  It is
missing many features. I has been studying vhost-user protocol
internals, so I've written vhost-user-bridge bit by bit as I
progressed through the protocol.  Most probably its internal
architecture will change significantly.

To run Vhost-User Bridge application:

1. Build vhost-user-bridge with a regular procedure. This will
create a vhost-user-bridge executable under tests directory:

    $ configure; make tests/vhost-user-bridge

2. Ensure the machine has hugepages enabled in kernel with
command line like:

    default_hugepagesz=2M hugepagesz=2M hugepages=2048

3. Run Vhost-User Bridge with:

    $ tests/vhost-user-bridge

The above will run vhost-user server listening for connections
on UNIX domain socket /tmp/vubr.sock, and will try to connect
by UDP to VLAN bridge to localhost:5555, while listening on
localhost:4444

Run qemu with a virtio-net backed by vhost-user:

    $ qemu \
        -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 2 \
        -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=512M,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on \
        -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc \
        -chardev socket,id=char0,path=/tmp/vubr.sock \
        -netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce \
        -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet1 \
        -net none \
        -net socket,vlan=0,udp=localhost:4444,localaddr=localhost:5555 \
        -net user,vlan=0 \
        disk.img

vhost-user-bridge was tested very lightly: it's able to bringup a
linux on client VM with the virtio-net driver, and execute transmits
and receives to the internet. I tested with "wget redhat.com",
"dig redhat.com".

PS. I've consulted DPDK's code for vhost-user during Vhost-User
Bridge implementation.

9024603776 configure: avoid polluting global CFLAGS with tasn1 flags
The previous commit

  commit 9a2fd4347c
  Author: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
  Date:   Mon Apr 13 14:01:39 2015 +0100

    crypto: add sanity checking of TLS x509 credentials

defined new variables $TEST_LIBS and $TEST_CFLAGS and
used them in tests/Makefile to augment $LIBS and $CFLAGS.

Unfortunately this overlooks the fact that tests/Makefile
is not executed via recursive-make, it is just pulled into
the top level Makefile via an include statement. So rather
than just augmenting the compiler/linker flags for tests
it polluted the global flags.

This is thought to be behind a reported failure when
building the pixman module as a sub-module, since global
$CFLAGS are passed down to configure in pixman.

This change removes the $TEST_LIBS and $TEST_CFLAGS
replacing them with $TASN1_LIBS and $TASN1_CFLAGS,
setting only against specific objects/executables
that need them.

8d25dd101f qapi: Add tests for empty unions
The documentation claims that alternates are useful for
allowing two or more types, although nothing enforces this.
Meanwhile, it is silent on whether empty unions are allowed.
In practice, the generated code will compile, in part because
we have a 'void *data' branch; but attempting to visit such a
type will cause an abort().  While there's no technical reason
that a degenerate union could not be made to work, it's harder
to justify the time spent in chasing known (the current
abort() during visit) and unknown corner cases, than it would
be to just outlaw them.  A future patch will probably take the
approach of forbidding them; in the meantime, we can at least
add testsuite coverage to make it obvious where things stand.

In addition to adding tests to expose the problems, we also
need to adjust existing tests that are meant to test something
else, but which could fail for the wrong reason if we reject
degenerate alternates/unions.

Note that empty structs are explicitly supported (for example,
right now they are the only way to specify that one branch of a
flat union adds no additional members), and empty enums are
covered by the testsuite as working (even if they do not seem
to have much use).

d220fbcd1d qapi: Test for various name collisions
Expose some weaknesses in the generator: we don't always forbid
the generation of structs that contain multiple members that map
to the same C or QMP name.  This has already been marked FIXME in
qapi.py in commit d90675f, but having more tests will make sure
future patches produce desired behavior; and updating existing
patches to better document things doesn't hurt, either.  Some of
these collisions are already caught in the old-style parser
checks, but ultimately we want all collisions to be caught in the
new-style QAPISchema*.check() methods.

This patch focuses on C struct members, and does not consider
collisions between commands and events (affecting C function
names), or even collisions between generated C type names with
user type names (for things like automatic FOOList struct
representing array types or FOOKind for an implicit enum).

There are two types of struct collisions we want to catch:
 1) Collision between two keys in a JSON object. qapi.py prevents
    that within a single struct (see test duplicate-key), but it is
    possible to have collisions between a type's members and its
    base type's members (existing tests struct-base-clash,
    struct-base-clash-deep), and its flat union variant members
    (renamed test flat-union-clash-member).
 2) Collision between two members of the C struct that is generated
    for a given QAPI type:
    a) Multiple QAPI names map to the same C name (new test
       args-name-clash)
    b) A QAPI name maps to a C name that is used for another purpose
       (new tests flat-union-clash-branch, struct-base-clash-base,
       union-clash-data). We already fixed some such cases in commit
       0f61af3e and 1e6c1616, but more remain.
    c) Two C names generated for other purposes clash
       (updated test alternate-clash, new test union-clash-branches,
       union-clash-type, flat-union-clash-type)

Ultimately, if we need to have a flat union where a tag value
clashes with a base member name, we could change the generator to
name the union (using 'foo.u.value' rather than 'foo.value') or
otherwise munge the C name corresponding to tag values.  But
unless such a need arises, it will probably be easier to just
forbid these collisions.

Some of these negative tests will be deleted later, and positive
tests added to qapi-schema-test.json in their place, when the
generator code is reworked to avoid particular code generation
collisions in class 2).

[Note that viewing this patch with git rename detection enabled
may see some confusion due to renaming some tests while adding
others, but where the content is similar enough that git picks
the wrong pre- and post-patch files to associate]

1ffe818a39 qapi: Sort qapi-schema tests
Recent changes to qapi have provided quite a bit of churn in
the makefile, because we are inconsistent on what order test
names appear in, and on whether to re-wrap the list of tests or
just add arbitrary line lengths.  Writing the list in a sorted
fashion, one test per line, will make future patches easier
to see what tests are being added or removed by a patch.

Although it is tempting to use $(wildcard qapi-schema/*.json)
for a more compact listing, such an approach would risk picking
up leftover garbage .json files in the directory; so keeping
the list explicit is safer for ensuring reproducible tarballs
and test results.

e253c28715 tests: Fix how qom-test is run
We want to run qom-test for every architecture, without having to
manually add it to every architecture's list of tests.  Commit 3687d53
accomplished this by adding it to every architecture's list
automatically.

However, some architectures inherit their tests from others, like this:

    check-qtest-x86_64-y = $(check-qtest-i386-y)
    check-qtest-microblazeel-y = $(check-qtest-microblaze-y)
    check-qtest-xtensaeb-y = $(check-qtest-xtensa-y)

For such architectures, we ended up running the (slow!) test twice.
Commit 2b8419c attempted to avoid this by adding the test only when
it's not already present.  Works only as long as we consider adding
the test to the architectures on the left hand side *after* the ones
on the right hand side: x86_64 after i386, microblazeel after
microblaze, xtensaeb after xtensa.

Turns out we consider them in $(SYSEMU_TARGET_LIST) order.  Defined as

    SYSEMU_TARGET_LIST := $(subst -softmmu.mak,,$(notdir \
       $(wildcard $(SRC_PATH)/default-configs/*-softmmu.mak)))

On my machine, this results in the oder xtensa, x86_64, microblazeel,
microblaze, i386.  Consequently, qom-test runs twice for microblazeel
and x86_64.

Replace this complex and flawed machinery with a much simpler one: add
generic tests (currently just qom-test) to check-qtest-generic-y

7fe34ca9c2 tests: vhost-user: disable unless CONFIG_VHOST_NET
vhost-user depends on vhost-net. We should probably fix that.
For now, let's disable the test otherwise.

39a1815816 qapi: New QMP command query-qmp-schema for QMP introspection
qapi/introspect.json defines the introspection schema.  It's designed
for QMP introspection, but should do for similar uses, such as QGA.

The introspection schema does not reflect all the rules and
restrictions that apply to QAPI schemata.  A valid QAPI schema has an
introspection value conforming to the introspection schema, but the
converse is not true.

Introspection lowers away a number of schema details, and makes
implicit things explicit:

* The built-in types are declared with their JSON type.

  All integer types are mapped to 'int', because how many bits we use
  internally is an implementation detail.  It could be pressed into
  external interface service as very approximate range information,
  but that's a bad idea.  If we need range information, we better do
  it properly.

* Implicit type definitions are made explicit, and given
  auto-generated names:

  - Array types, named by appending "List" to the name of their
    element type, like in generated C.

  - The enumeration types implicitly defined by simple union types,
    named by appending "Kind" to the name of their simple union type,
    like in generated C.

  - Types that don't occur in generated C.  Their names start with ':'
    so they don't clash with the user's names.

* All type references are by name.

* The struct and union types are generalized into an object type.

* Base types are flattened.

* Commands take a single argument and return a single result.

  Dictionary argument or list result is an implicit type definition.

  The empty object type is used when a command takes no arguments or
  produces no results.

  The argument is always of object type, but the introspection schema
  doesn't reflect that.

  The 'gen': false directive is omitted as implementation detail.

  The 'success-response' directive is omitted as well for now, even
  though it's not an implementation detail, because it's not used by
  QMP.

* Events carry a single data value.

  Implicit type definition and empty object type use, just like for
  commands.

  The value is of object type, but the introspection schema doesn't
  reflect that.

* Types not used by commands or events are omitted.

  Indirect use counts as use.

* Optional members have a default, which can only be null right now

  Instead of a mandatory "optional" flag, we have an optional default.
  No default means mandatory, default null means optional without
  default value.  Non-null is available for optional with default
  (possible future extension).

* Clients should *not* look up types by name, because type names are
  not ABI.  Look up the command or event you're interested in, then
  follow the references.

  TODO Should we hide the type names to eliminate the temptation?

New generator scripts/qapi-introspect.py computes an introspection
value for its input, and generates a C variable holding it.

It can generate awfully long lines.  Marked TODO.

A new test-qmp-input-visitor test case feeds its result for both
tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json and qapi-schema.json to a
QmpInputVisitor to verify it actually conforms to the schema.

New QMP command query-qmp-schema takes its return value from that
variable.  Its reply is some 85KiBytes for me right now.

If this turns out to be too much, we have a couple of options:

* We can use shorter names in the JSON.  Not the QMP style.

* Optionally return the sub-schema for commands and events given as
  arguments.

  Right now qmp_query_schema() sends the string literal computed by
  qmp-introspect.py.  To compute sub-schema at run time, we'd have to
  duplicate parts of qapi-introspect.py in C.  Unattractive.

* Let clients cache the output of query-qmp-schema.

  It changes only on QEMU upgrades, i.e. rarely.  Provide a command
  query-qmp-schema-hash.  Clients can have a cache indexed by hash,
  and re-query the schema only when they don't have it cached.  Even
  simpler: put the hash in the QMP greeting.
