54addb01d8 string-output-visitor: Fix to use sufficient precision
The string output visitor should serialize numbers so that the string
input visitor deserializes them back to the same number.  It fails to
do so.

print_type_number() uses format %f.  This is prone to nasty rounding
errors.  For instance, numbers between 0 and 0.0000005 get flushed to
zero.

We currently use this visitor only for HMP info migrate, info network,
info qtree, and info memdev.  No double values occur there as far as I
can tell.

Fix anyway by formatting with %.17g.  17 decimal digits always suffice
for IEEE double.

See also recent commit "qobject: Fix qnum_to_string() to use
sufficient precision".

31e404151b cutils: Move size_to_str() from "qemu-common.h" to "qemu/cutils.h"
"qemu/cutils.h" contains various qemu_strtosz_*() functions
useful to convert strings to size. It seems natural to have
the opposite usage (from size to string) there too.

The function definition is already in util/cutils.c.

3b098d5697 qapi: Add new visit_complete() function
Making each output visitor provide its own output collection
function was the only remaining reason for exposing visitor
sub-types to the rest of the code base.  Add a polymorphic
visit_complete() function which is a no-op for input visitors,
and which populates an opaque pointer for output visitors.  For
maximum type-safety, also add a parameter to the output visitor
constructors with a type-correct version of the output pointer,
and assert that the two uses match.

This approach was considered superior to either passing the
output parameter only during construction (action at a distance
during visit_free() feels awkward) or only during visit_complete()
(defeating type safety makes it easier to use incorrectly).

Most callers were function-local, and therefore a mechanical
conversion; the testsuite was a bit trickier, but the previous
cleanup patch minimized the churn here.

The visit_complete() function may be called at most once; doing
so lets us use transfer semantics rather than duplication or
ref-count semantics to get the just-built output back to the
caller, even though it means our behavior is not idempotent.

Generated code is simplified as follows for events:

2c0ef9f411 qapi: Add new visit_free() function
Making each visitor provide its own (awkwardly-named) FOO_cleanup()
is unusual, when we can instead have a polymorphic visit_free()
interface.  Over the next few patches, we can use the polymorphic
functions to eliminate the need for a FOO_get_visitor() function
for accessing specific visitor functionality, once everything can
be accessed directly through the Visitor* interfaces.

The dealloc visitor is the first one converted to completely use
the new entry point, since qapi_dealloc_visitor_cleanup() was the
only reason that qapi_dealloc_get_visitor() existed, and only
generated and testsuite code was even using it.  With the new
visit_free() entry point in place, we no longer need to expose
the QapiDeallocVisitor subtype through qapi_dealloc_visitor_new(),
and can get by with less generated code, with diffs that look like:

| void qapi_free_ACPIOSTInfo(ACPIOSTInfo *obj)
| {
|-    QapiDeallocVisitor *qdv;
|     Visitor *v;
|
|     if (!obj) {

|     visit_type_ACPIOSTInfo(v, NULL, &obj, NULL);

1158bb2a05 qapi: Add parameter to visit_end_*
Rather than making the dealloc visitor track of stack of pointers
remembered during visit_start_* in order to free them during
visit_end_*, it's a lot easier to just make all callers pass the
same pointer to visit_end_*.  The generated code has access to the
same pointer, while all other users are doing virtual walks and
can pass NULL.  The dealloc visitor is then greatly simplified.

All three visit_end_*() functions intentionally take a void**,
even though the visit_start_*() functions differ between void**,
GenericList**, and GenericAlternate**.  This is done for several
reasons: when doing a virtual walk, passing NULL doesn't care
what the type is, but when doing a generated walk, we already
have to cast the caller's specific FOO* to call visit_start,
while using void** lets us use visit_end without a cast. Also,
an upcoming patch will add a clone visitor that wants to use
the same implementation for all three visit_end callbacks,
which is made easier if all three share the same signature.

For visitors with already track per-object state (the QMP visitors
via a stack, and the string visitors which do not allow nesting),
add an assertion that the caller is indeed passing the same
pointer to paired calls.

7c47959d0c qapi: Simplify use of range.h
Calling our function g_list_insert_sorted_merged is a misnomer,
since we are NOT writing a glib function.  Furthermore, we are
making every caller pass the same comparator function of
range_merge(): any caller that would try otherwise would break
in weird ways since our internal call to ranges_can_merge() is
hard-coded to operate only on ranges, rather than paying
attention to the caller's comparator.

Better is to fix things so that callers don't have to care about
our internal comparator, by picking a function name and updating
the parameter type away from a gratuitous use of void*, to make
it obvious that we are operating specifically on a list of ranges
and not a generic list.  Plus, refactoring the code here will
make it easier to plug a memory leak in the next patch.

range_compare() is now internal only, and moves to the .c file.

d9f62dde13 qapi: Simplify semantics of visit_next_list()
The semantics of the list visit are somewhat baroque, with the
following pseudocode when FooList is used:

start()
for (prev = head; cur = next(prev); prev = &cur) {
    visit(&cur->value)
}

Note that these semantics (advance before visit) requires that
the first call to next() return the list head, while all other
calls return the next element of the list; that is, every visitor
implementation is required to track extra state to decide whether
to return the input as-is, or to advance.  It also requires an
argument of 'GenericList **' to next(), solely because the first
iteration might need to modify the caller's GenericList head, so
that all other calls have to do a layer of dereferencing.

Thankfully, we only have two uses of list visits in the entire
code base: one in spapr_drc (which completely avoids
visit_next_list(), feeding in integers from a different source
than uint8List), and one in qapi-visit.py.  That is, all other
list visitors are generated in qapi-visit.c, and share the same
paradigm based on a qapi FooList type, so we can refactor how
lists are laid out with minimal churn among clients.

We can greatly simplify things by hoisting the special case
into the start() routine, and flipping the order in the loop
to visit before advance:

start(head)
for (tail = *head; tail; tail = next(tail)) {
    visit(&tail->value)
}

With the simpler semantics, visitors have less state to track,
the argument to next() is reduced to 'GenericList *', and it
also becomes obvious whether an input visitor is allocating a
FooList during visit_start_list() (rather than the old way of
not knowing if an allocation happened until the first
visit_next_list()).  As a minor drawback, we now allocate in
two functions instead of one, and have to pass the size to
both functions (unless we were to tweak the input visitors to
cache the size to start_list for reuse during next_list, but
that defeats the goal of less visitor state).

The signature of visit_start_list() is chosen to match
visit_start_struct(), with the new parameters after 'name'.

The spapr_drc case is a virtual visit, done by passing NULL for
list, similarly to how NULL is passed to visit_start_struct()
when a qapi type is not used in those visits.  It was easy to
provide these semantics for qmp-output and dealloc visitors,
and a bit harder for qmp-input (several prerequisite patches
refactored things to make this patch straightforward).  But it
turned out that the string and opts visitors munge enough other
state during visit_next_list() to make it easier to just
document and require a GenericList visit for now; an assertion
will remind us to adjust things if we need the semantics in the
future.

Several pre-requisite cleanup patches made the reshuffling of
the various visitors easier; particularly the qmp input visitor.

983f52d4b3 qapi-visit: Add visitor.type classification
We have three classes of QAPI visitors: input, output, and dealloc.
Currently, all implementations of these visitors have one thing in
common based on their visitor type: the implementation used for the
visit_type_enum() callback.  But since we plan to add more such
common behavior, in relation to documenting and further refining
the semantics, it makes more sense to have the visitor
implementations advertise which class they belong to, so the common
qapi-visit-core code can use that information in multiple places.

A later patch will better document the types of visitors directly
in visitor.h.

For this patch, knowing the class of a visitor implementation lets
us make input_type_enum() and output_type_enum() become static
functions, by replacing the callback function Visitor.type_enum()
with the simpler enum member Visitor.type.  Share a common
assertion in qapi-visit-core as part of the refactoring.

Move comments in opts-visitor.c to match the refactored layout.

e65d89bf1a qapi: Adjust layout of FooList types
By sticking the next pointer first, we don't need a union with
64-bit padding for smaller types.  On 32-bit platforms, this
can reduce the size of uint8List from 16 bytes (or 12, depending
on whether 64-bit ints can tolerate 4-byte alignment) down to 8.
It has no effect on 64-bit platforms (where alignment still
dictates a 16-byte struct); but fewer anonymous unions is still
a win in my book.

It requires visit_next_list() to gain a size parameter, to know
what size element to allocate; comparable to the size parameter
of visit_start_struct().

I debated about going one step further, to allow for fewer casts,
by doing:
    typedef GenericList GenericList;
    struct GenericList {
        GenericList *next;
    };
    struct FooList {
        GenericList base;
        Foo *value;
    };
so that you convert to 'GenericList *' by '&foolist->base', and
back by 'container_of(generic, GenericList, base)' (as opposed to
the existing '(GenericList *)foolist' and '(FooList *)generic').
But doing that would require hoisting the declaration of
GenericList prior to inclusion of qapi-types.h, rather than its
current spot in visitor.h; it also makes iteration a bit more
verbose through 'foolist->base.next' instead of 'foolist->next'.

Note that for lists of objects, the 'value' payload is still
hidden behind a boxed pointer.  Someday, it would be nice to do:

struct FooList {
    FooList *next;
    Foo value;
};

for one less level of malloc for each list element.  This patch
is a step in that direction (now that 'next' is no longer at a
fixed non-zero offset within the struct, we can store more than
just a pointer's-worth of data as the value payload), but the
actual conversion would be a task for another series, as it will
touch a lot of code.

08f9541dec qapi: Drop unused error argument for list and implicit struct
No backend was setting an error when ending the visit of a list or
implicit struct, or when moving to the next list node.  Make the
callers a bit easier to follow by making this a part of the contract,

an object as part of cleanup without having to think about whether a
second error is dominated by a first, because there is no second
error.

A later patch will then tackle the larger task of splitting
visit_end_struct(), which can indeed set an error.

0b2a0d6bb2 qapi: Swap 'name' in visit_* callbacks to match public API
As explained in the previous patches, matching argument order of
'name, &value' to JSON's "name":value makes sense.  However,
while the last two patches were easy with Coccinelle, I ended up
doing this one all by hand.  Now all the visitor callbacks match
the main interface.

The compiler is able to enforce that all clients match the changed
interface in visitor-impl.h, even where two pointers are being
swapped, because only one of the two pointers is const (if that
were not the case, then C's looseness on treating 'char *' like
'void *' would have made review a bit harder).

f755dea79d qapi: Make all visitors supply uint64 callbacks
Our qapi visitor contract supports multiple integer visitors,
but left the type_uint64 visitor as optional (falling back on
type_int64); which in turn can lead to awkward behavior with
numbers larger than INT64_MAX (the user has to be aware of
twos complement, and deal with negatives).

This patch does not address the disparity in handling large
values as negatives.  It merely moves the fallback from uint64
to int64 from the visitor core to the visitors, where the issue
can actually be fixed, by implementing the missing type_uint64()
callbacks on top of the respective type_int64() callbacks, and
with a FIXME comment explaining why that's wrong.

With that done, we now have a type_uint64() callback in every
driver, so we can make it mandatory from the core.  And although
the type_int64() callback can cover the entire valid range of
type_uint{8,16,32} on valid user input, using type_uint64() to
avoid mixed signedness makes more sense.

4c40314a35 qapi: Prefer type_int64 over type_int in visitors
The qapi builtin type 'int' is basically shorthand for the type
'int64'.  In fact, since no visitor was providing the optional
type_int64() callback, visit_type_int64() was just always falling
back to type_int(), cementing the equivalence between the types.

However, some visitors are providing a type_uint64() callback.
For purposes of code consistency, it is nicer if all visitors
use the paired type_int64/type_uint64 names rather than the
mismatched type_int/type_uint64.  So this patch just renames
the signed int callbacks in place, dropping the type_int()
callback as redundant, and a later patch will focus on the
unsigned int callbacks.

Add some FIXMEs to questionable reuse of errp in code touched
by the rename, while at it (the reuse works as long as the
callbacks don't modify value when setting an error, but it's not
a good example to set) - a later patch will then fix those.

No change in functionality here, although further cleanups are
in the pipeline.

d7bea75d35 qapi: Avoid use of misnamed DO_UPCAST()
The macro DO_UPCAST() is incorrectly named: it converts from a
parent class to a derived class (which is a downcast).  Better,
and more consistent with some of the other qapi visitors, is
to use the container_of() macro through a to_FOO() helper.  Names
like 'to_ov()' may be a bit short, but for a static helper it
doesn't hurt too much, and matches existing practice in files
like qmp-input-visitor.c.

Our current definition of container_of() is weaker than
DO_UPCAST(), in that it does not require the derived class to
have Visitor as its first member, but this does not hurt our
usage patterns in qapi visitors.

56fdfb6106 qapi/string-output-visitor: fix bugs
in human mode, we are creating the string:

16-31 (16-31)

instead of

16-17 (10-1f)

because we forgot to pass 'true' as the human parameter on one of the
two calls to format_string.
Also, this is a worsening of quality; previously we would produce

16 (0x10)

to make it obvious which number was hex.
Fix these issues.

0d156683f6 qapi: fix build on glib < 2.28
The following commits:
    qapi: make string output visitor parse int list
    qapi: make string input visitor parse int list
break with glib < 2.28 since they use the
new g_list_free_full function.

Open-code that to fix build on old systems.

e41b509d68 qapi: Refine human printing of sizes
This fixes several bugs or shortcomings of the previous pretty-printer.
In particular:

* use PRIu64 instead of casting to long long

* the exact value is included too

* the correct unit of measure (MiB, GiB, etc.) is used.  PiB and EiB
are added too.

* due to an off-by-one error, 512*2^30 was printed as 0.500MiB rather than
512MiB.  floor(log2(val)) is equal to 63 - clz(val), while the code used 64.

* The desired specification is %g rather than %f, which always uses three
decimals in the current code.  However %g would switch to scientific
notation when the integer part is >= 1000 (e.g. 1000*2^30).  To keep the
code simple, switch to the higher power when the integer part is >= 1000;
overflow is avoided by using frexp instead of clz.

0b7593e085 qapi: Add human mode to StringOutputVisitor
This will be used by "info qtree".  For numbers it prints both the
decimal and hex values.  For sizes it rounds to the nearest power
of 2^10.  For strings, it puts quotes around the string and separates
NULL and empty string.

173bbb754f qapi: String visitor, use %f representation for floats
Currently string-output-visitor formats floats as %g, which is nice in
that trailing 0's are automatically truncated, but otherwise this causes
some issues:

 - it uses 6 significant figures instead of 6 decimal places, which
   means something like 155777.5 (which even has an exact floating point
   representation) will be rounded to 155778 when converted to a string.

 - output will be presented in scientific notation when the normalized
   form requires a 10^x multiplier. Not a huge deal, but arguably less
   readable for command-line arguments.

 - due to using scientific notation for numbers requiring more than 6
   significant figures, instead of hard-defined decimal places, it
   fails a lot of the test-visitor-serialization unit tests for floats.

Instead, let's just use %f, which is what the QJSON and the QMP visitors
use.
