Peter Maydell 9598c1bb39 ptimer: Rename PTIMER_POLICY_DEFAULT to PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY
The traditional ptimer behaviour includes a collection of weird edge
case behaviours.  In 2016 we improved the ptimer implementation to
fix these and generally make the behaviour more flexible, with
ptimers opting in to the new behaviour by passing an appropriate set
of policy flags to ptimer_init().  For backwards-compatibility, we
defined PTIMER_POLICY_DEFAULT (which sets no flags) to give the old
weird behaviour.

This turns out to be a poor choice of name, because people writing
new devices which use ptimers are misled into thinking that the
default is probably a sensible choice of flags, when in fact it is
almost always not what you want.  Rename PTIMER_POLICY_DEFAULT to
PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY and beef up the comment to more clearly say that
new devices should not be using it.

The code-change part of this commit was produced by
  sed -i -e 's/PTIMER_POLICY_DEFAULT/PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY/g' $(git grep -l PTIMER_POLICY_DEFAULT)
with the exception of a test name string change in
tests/unit/ptimer-test.c which was added manually.

/*
* The ptimer API implements a simple periodic countdown timer.
* The countdown timer has a value (which can be read and written via
* ptimer_get_count() and ptimer_set_count()). When it is enabled
* using ptimer_run(), the value will count downwards at the frequency
* which has been configured using ptimer_set_period() or ptimer_set_freq().
* When it reaches zero it will trigger a callback function, and
* can be set to either reload itself from a specified limit value
* and keep counting down, or to stop (as a one-shot timer).
*
* A transaction-based API is used for modifying ptimer state: all calls
* to functions which modify ptimer state must be between matched calls to
* ptimer_transaction_begin() and ptimer_transaction_commit().
* When ptimer_transaction_commit() is called it will evaluate the state
* of the timer after all the changes in the transaction, and call the
* callback if necessary. (See the ptimer_init() documentation for the full
* list of state-modifying functions and detailed semantics of the callback.)
*
* Forgetting to set the period/frequency (or setting it to zero) is a
* bug in the QEMU device and will cause warning messages to be printed
* to stderr when the guest attempts to enable the timer.
*/
/*
* The 'legacy' ptimer policy retains backward compatibility with the
* traditional ptimer behaviour from before policy flags were introduced.
* It has several weird behaviours which don't match typical hardware
* timer behaviour. For a new device using ptimers, you should not
* use PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY, but instead check the actual behaviour
* that you need and specify the right set of policy flags to get that.
*
* If you are overhauling an existing device that uses PTIMER_POLICY_LEGACY
* and are in a position to check or test the real hardware behaviour,
* consider updating it to specify the right policy flags.
*
* The rough edges of the default policy:
* - Starting to run with a period = 0 emits error message and stops the
* timer without a trigger.
*
* - Setting period to 0 of the running timer emits error message and
* stops the timer without a trigger.
*
* - Starting to run with counter = 0 or setting it to "0" while timer
* is running causes a trigger and reloads counter with a limit value.
* If limit = 0, ptimer emits error message and stops the timer.
*
* - Counter value of the running timer is one less than the actual value.
*
* - Changing period/frequency of the running timer loses time elapsed
* since the last period, effectively restarting the timer with a
* counter = counter value at the moment of change (.i.e. one less).
