Paolo Bonzini 63758d1073 qemu-option: clean up id vs. list->merge_lists
Looking at all merge-lists QemuOptsList, here is how they access their
QemuOpts:

reopen_opts in qemu-io-cmds.c ("qemu-img reopen -o")
	qemu_opts_find(&reopen_opts, NULL)

empty_opts in qemu-io.c ("qemu-io open -o")
	qemu_opts_find(&empty_opts, NULL)

qemu_rtc_opts ("-rtc")
	qemu_find_opts_singleton("rtc")

qemu_machine_opts ("-M")
	qemu_find_opts_singleton("machine")

qemu_action_opts ("-name")
	qemu_opts_foreach->process_runstate_actions

qemu_boot_opts ("-boot")
	in hw/nvram/fw_cfg.c and hw/s390x/ipl.c:
	  QTAILQ_FIRST(&qemu_find_opts("bootopts")->head)
	in softmmu/vl.c:
	  qemu_opts_find(qemu_find_opts("boot-opts"), NULL)

qemu_name_opts ("-name")
	qemu_opts_foreach->parse_name
	parse_name does not use id

qemu_mem_opts ("-m")
	qemu_find_opts_singleton("memory")

qemu_icount_opts ("-icount")
	qemu_opts_foreach->do_configure_icount
	do_configure_icount->icount_configure
	icount_configure does not use id

qemu_smp_opts ("-smp")
	qemu_opts_find(qemu_find_opts("smp-opts"), NULL)

qemu_spice_opts ("-spice")
	QTAILQ_FIRST(&qemu_spice_opts.head)

i.e. they don't need an id.  Sometimes its presence is ignored
(e.g. when using qemu_opts_foreach), sometimes all the options
with the id are skipped, sometimes only the first option on the
command line is considered.  -boot does two different things
depending on who's looking at the options.

With this patch we just forbid id on merge-lists QemuOptsLists; if the
command line still works, it has the same semantics as before.

qemu_opts_create's fail_if_exists parameter is now unnecessary:

- it is unused if id is NULL

- opts_parse only passes false if reached from qemu_opts_set_defaults,
in which case this patch enforces that id must be NULL

- other callers that can pass a non-NULL id always set it to true

Assert that it is true in the only case where "fail_if_exists" matters,
i.e. "id && !lists->merge_lists".  This means that if an id is present,
duplicates are always forbidden, which was already the status quo.

Discounting the case that aborts as it's not user-controlled (it's
"just" a matter of inspecting qemu_opts_create callers), the paths
through qemu_opts_create can be summarized as:

- merge_lists = true: singleton opts with NULL id; non-NULL id fails

- merge_lists = false: always return new opts; non-NULL id fails if dup

VERSION

===========
QEMU README
===========

QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.

QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).

QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.

QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.

QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.


Building
========

QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:


.. code-block:: shell

  mkdir build
  cd build
  ../configure
  make

Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:

* `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Linux>`_
* `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Mac>`_
* `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/W32>`_


Submitting patches
==================

The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.

.. code-block:: shell

   git clone https://git.qemu.org/git/qemu.git

When submitting patches, one common approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the CODING_STYLE.rst file.

Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website

* `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_
* `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches>`_

The QEMU website is also maintained under source control.

.. code-block:: shell

  git clone https://git.qemu.org/git/qemu-web.git

* `<https://www.qemu.org/2017/02/04/the-new-qemu-website-is-up/>`_

A 'git-publish' utility was created to make above process less
cumbersome, and is highly recommended for making regular contributions,
or even just for sending consecutive patch series revisions. It also
requires a working 'git send-email' setup, and by default doesn't
automate everything, so you may want to go through the above steps
manually for once.

For installation instructions, please go to

*  `<https://github.com/stefanha/git-publish>`_

The workflow with 'git-publish' is:

.. code-block:: shell

  $ git checkout master -b my-feature
  $ # work on new commits, add your 'Signed-off-by' lines to each
  $ git publish

Your patch series will be sent and tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer
back to it in the future.

Sending v2:

.. code-block:: shell

  $ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch
  $ # making changes to the commits (using 'git rebase', for example)
  $ git publish

Your patch series will be sent with 'v2' tag in the subject and the git tip
will be tagged as my-feature-v2.

Bug reporting
=============

The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:

* `<https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/>`_

If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.

For additional information on bug reporting consult:

* `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug>`_


ChangeLog
=========

For version history and release notes, please visit
`<https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/>`_ or look at the git history for
more detailed information.


Contact
=======

The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC

* `<mailto:qemu-devel@nongnu.org>`_
* `<https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel>`_
* #qemu on irc.oftc.net

Information on additional methods of contacting the community can be
found online via the QEMU website:
