Peter Maydell b7ecba0f6f docs/devel/loads-stores.rst: Document our various load and store APIs
QEMU has a wide selection of different functions for doing
loads and stores; provide some overview documentation of
what they do and how to pick which one to use.

Dr. David Alan Gilbert 44b1ff319c migration: pre_save return int
Modify the pre_save method on VMStateDescription to return an int
rather than void so that it potentially can fail.

Changed zillions of devices to make them return 0; the only
case I've made it return non-0 is hw/intc/s390_flic_kvm.c that already
had an error_report/return case.

Note: If you add an error exit in your pre_save you must emit
an error_report to say why.

Paolo Bonzini 447b0d0b9e memory: avoid "resurrection" of dead FlatViews
It's possible for address_space_get_flatview() as it currently stands
to cause a use-after-free for the returned FlatView, if the reference
count is incremented after the FlatView has been replaced by a writer:

   thread 1             thread 2             RCU thread
  -------------------------------------------------------------
   rcu_read_lock
   read as->current_map
                        set as->current_map
                        flatview_unref
                           '--> call_rcu
   flatview_ref
     [ref=1]
   rcu_read_unlock
                                             flatview_destroy
   <badness>

Since FlatViews are not updated very often, we can just detect the
situation using a new atomic op atomic_fetch_inc_nonzero, similar to
Linux's atomic_inc_not_zero, which performs the refcount increment only if
it hasn't already hit zero.  This is similar to Linux commit de09a9771a53
("CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead
credentials", 2010-07-29).

Paolo Bonzini ebedb37c8d Makefile: Remove libqemustub.a
Using two libraries (libqemuutil.a and libqemustub.a) would sometimes
result in circular dependencies. To avoid these issues let's just
combine both into a single library that functions as both.

Stefan Hajnoczi d87aa13803 trace: add trace_event_get_state_backends()
Code that checks dstate is unaware of SystemTap and LTTng UST dstate, so
the following trace event will not fire when solely enabled by SystemTap
or LTTng UST:

  if (trace_event_get_state(TRACE_MY_EVENT)) {
      str = g_strdup_printf("Expensive string to generate ...",
                            ...);
      trace_my_event(str);
      g_free(str);
  }

Add trace_event_get_state_backends() to fetch backend dstate.  Those
backends that use QEMU dstate fetch it as part of
generate_h_backend_dstate().

Update existing trace_event_get_state() callers to use
trace_event_get_state_backends() instead.

Kashyap Chamarthy 7746cf8aab bitmaps.md: Convert to rST; move it into 'interop' dir
This is part of the on-going effort to convert QEMU upstream
documentation syntax to reStructuredText (rST).

The conversion to rST was done using:

    $ pandoc -f markdown -t rst bitmaps.md -o bitmaps.rst

Then, make a couple of small syntactical adjustments.  While at it,
reword a statement to avoid ambiguity.  Addressing the feedback from
this thread:

Also move non-text files to their own directories: docs/config/ for

with the SPIN model checker.
