Sometimes, the behaviour of QEMU changes without a change in the QMP
syntax (usually by allowing values or operations that previously
resulted in an error). QMP clients may still need to know whether
they can rely on the changed behavior.
Let's add feature flags to the QAPI schema language, so that we can make
such changes visible with schema introspection.
An example for a schema definition using feature flags looks like this:
{ 'struct': 'TestType',
'data': { 'number': 'int' },
'features': [ 'allow-negative-numbers' ] }
Introspection information then looks like this:
{ "name": "TestType", "meta-type": "object",
"members": [
{ "name": "number", "type": "int" } ],
"features": [ "allow-negative-numbers" ] }
This patch implements feature flags only for struct types. We'll
implement them more widely as needed.

All callers of bdrv_set_aio_context() are eliminated now, they have
moved to bdrv_try_set_aio_context() and related safe functions. Remove
bdrv_set_aio_context().
With this, we can now know that the .set_aio_ctx callback must be
present in bdrv_set_aio_context_ignore() because
bdrv_can_set_aio_context() would have returned false previously, so
instead of checking the condition, we can assert it.

Add a new vhost-user message to give a unix socket to a vhost-user
backend for GPU display updates.
Back when I started that work, I added a new GPU channel because the
vhost-user protocol wasn't bidirectional. Since then, there is a
vhost-user-slave channel for the slave to send requests to the master.
We could extend it with GPU messages. However, the GPU protocol is
quite orthogonal to vhost-user, thus I chose to have a new dedicated
channel.
See vhost-user-gpu.rst for the protocol details.

simply got ignored so far. For example, after a "touch hw/arm/Kconfig",
the arm-softmmu/config-devices.mak file is currently not re-generated.

A test can, optionally, be tagged for one or many architectures. If a
test has been tagged for a single architecture, there's a high chance
that the test won't run on other architectures. This changes the
default order of choosing a default target architecture to use based
on the 'arch' tag value first.
The precedence order is for choosing a QEMU binary to use for a test
is now:
* qemu_bin parameter
* arch parameter
* arch tag value (for example, x86_64 if "🥑 tags=arch:x86_64
is used)
This means that if one runs:
$ avocado run -p qemu_bin=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 test.py
No arch parameter or tag will influence the selection of the QEMU
target binary. If one runs:
$ avocado run -p arch=ppc64 test.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64". And finally, if one runs
a test that is tagged (in its docstring) with "arch:aarch64":
$ avocado run aarch64.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64".
At this time, no provision is made to cancel the execution of tests if
the arch parameter given (manually) does not match the test "arch"
tag, but it may be a useful default behavior to be added in the
future.

It's useful to define the architecture that should be used in
situations such as:
* the intended target of the QEMU binary to be used on tests
* the architecture of code to be run within the QEMU binary, such
as a kernel image or a full blown guest OS image
This commit introduces both a test parameter and a test instance
attribute, that will contain such a value.
Now, when the "arch" test parameter is given, it will influence the
selection of the default QEMU binary, if one is not given explicitly
by means of the "qemu_img" parameter.

When a file supporting DAX is used as vNVDIMM backend, mmap it with
MAP_SYNC flag in addition which can ensure file system metadata
synced in each guest writes to the backend file, without other QEMU
actions (e.g., periodic fsync() by QEMU).
Current, We have below different possible use cases:
1. pmem=on is set, shared=on is set, MAP_SYNC supported:
a: backend is a dax supporting file.
- MAP_SYNC will active.
b: backend is not a dax supporting file.
- mmap will trigger a warning. then MAP_SYNC flag will be ignored
2. The rest of cases:
- we will never pass the MAP_SYNC to mmap2

Spectre variants, but it is only used to address Spectre v2. Also
remove the note about retpolines. The guest OS is usually treated
as a blackbox from host mgmt pov, so it won't have knowledge about
use of retpolines and thus should unconditionally expose spec-ctrl,

shared buffer from backend. Then qemu should send it back

This shared buffer is used to track inflight I/O by backend.

QEMU 2.12 (commit 1221fe6f63) introduced
a new setting called l2-cache-entry-size that allows making entries on
the qcow2 L2 cache smaller than the cluster size.
I have been performing several tests with different cluster and entry
sizes and all of them show that reducing the entry size (aka L2 slice)
consistently improves I/O performance, notably during random I/O (all
tests done with sequential I/O show similar results). This is to be
expected because loading and evicting an L2 slice is more expensive
the larger the slice is.
Here are some numbers on fully populated 40GB qcow2 images. The
rightmost column represents the maximum L2 cache size in both cases.
Cluster size = 64 KB
|-------------+--------------+--------------+--------------|
| | 1MB L2 cache | 3MB L2 cache | 5MB L2 cache |

As can be seen in the numbers, the only exception to the rule is when
the cache is large enough to hold all L2 tables. This is also to be
expected because in this case no cache entry is ever evicted so
reducing its size doesn't bring any benefit.
This patch sets the default L2 cache entry size to 4KB except when the
cache is large enough for the whole disk.

Instead of including the same list of devices for each target,
set CONFIG_PCI to true, and make the devices default to present
whenever PCI is available. However, s390x does not want all the
PCI devices, so there is a separate symbol to enable them.
Done mostly with the following script:
while read i; do
i=${i%=y}; i=${i#CONFIG_}
sed -i -e'/^config '$i'$/!b' -en \
-e'a\' -e' default y if PCI_DEVICES\' -e' depends on PCI' \
`grep -lw $i hw/*/Kconfig`
done < default-configs/pci.mak
followed by replacing a few "depends on" clauses with "select"
whenever the symbol is not really related to PCI.

Don't hard-code the QEMU version number into conf.py. Instead
we either pass it to sphinx-build on the command line, or
(if doing a standalone Sphinx run in a readthedocs.org setup)
extract it from the VERSION file.

By default Sphinx wants to build a single manual at once.
For QEMU, this doesn't suit us, because we want to have
separate manuals for "Developer's Guide", "User Manual",
and so on, and we don't want to ship the Developer's Guide
to end-users. However, we don't want to completely duplicate
conf.py for each manual, and we'd like to continue to
support "build all docs in one run" for third-party sites
like readthedocs.org.
Make the top-level conf.py support two usage forms:
(1) as a common config file which is included by the conf.py
for each of QEMU's manuals: in this case sphinx-build is run
multiple times, once per subdirectory.
(2) as a top level conf file which will result in building all
the manuals into a single document: in this case sphinx-build is
run once, on the top-level docs directory.
Provide per-manual conf.py files and top level pages for
our first two manuals:
* QEMU Developer's Guide (docs/devel)
* QEMU System Emulation Management and Interoperability Guide
(docs/interop)

Add the 'navigation' bar to the sidebar, which for some
reason is not enabled by default. Remove 'relations', which
is effectively disabled anyway and isn't useful for us.

Convert the memory API documentation from plain text
to restructured text format.
This is a very minimal conversion: all I had to change
was to mark up the ASCII art parts as Sphinx expects
for 'literal blocks', and fix up the bulleted lists
(Sphinx expects no leading space before the bullet, and
wants a blank line before after any list).

This change adds the possibility to write acceptance tests with multi
virtual machine support. It's done keeping the virtual machines objects
stored in a test attribute (dictionary). This dictionary shouldn't be
accessed directly but through the new method added `get_vm`. This new
method accept a list of args (that will be added as virtual machine
arguments) and an optional name argument. The name is the key that
identify a single virtual machine along the test machines available. If
a name without a machine is informed a new machine will be instantiated.
The current usage of vm in tests will not be broken by this change since
it keeps a property called vm in the base test class. This property only
calls the new method `get_vm` with default parameters (no args and
'default' as machine name).
