Marc-André Lureau c26763f8ec memory: learn about non-volatile memory region
Add a new flag to mark memory region that are used as non-volatile, by
NVDIMM for example. That bit is propagated down to the flat view, and
reflected in HMP info mtree with a "nv-" prefix on the memory type.

This way, guest_phys_blocks_region_add() can skip the NV memory
regions for dumps and TCG memory clear in a following patch.

Cleber Rosa a56931eef3 Acceptance tests: add make rule for running them
The acceptance (aka functional, aka Avocado-based) tests are
Python files located in "tests/acceptance" that need to be run
with the Avocado libs and test runner.

Let's provide a convenient way for QEMU developers to run them,
by making use of the tests-venv with the required setup.

Also, while the Avocado test runner will take care of creating a
location to save test results to, it was understood that it's better
if the results are kept within the build tree.

Cleber Rosa 92970812ee docs/devel/testing.rst: add missing newlines after code block
The line immediate following a ".. code::" block is considered
to contains arguments to the "code directive".  The lack of a
new line gives me during at parse time:

   testing.rst:63: (ERROR/3) Error in "code" directive:
   maximum 1 argument(s) allowed, 3 supplied.

   .. code::
     make check-unit V=1

   testing.rst:120: (ERROR/3) Error in "code" directive:
   maximum 1 argument(s) allowed, 3 supplied.

   .. code::
     make check-qtest V=1

Let's add the missing newlines, both for consistency and to
avoid the parsing errors.

Eric Blake 8c643361ee qapi: Add comments to aid debugging generated introspection
We consciously chose in commit 1a9a507b to hide QAPI type names
from the introspection output on the wire, but added a command
line option -u to unmask the type name when doing a debug build.
The unmask option still remains useful to some other forms of
automated analysis, so it will not be removed; however, when it
is not in use, the generated .c file can be hard to read.  At
the time when we first introduced masking, the generated file
consisted only of a monolithic C string, so there was no clean
way to inject any comments.

Later, in commit 7d0f982b, we switched the generation to output
a QLit object, in part to make it easier for future addition of
conditional compilation.  In fact, commit d626b6c1 took advantage
of this by passing a tuple instead of a bare object for encoding
the output of conditionals.  By extending that tuple, we can now
interject strategic comments.

For now, type name debug aid comments are only output once per
meta-type, rather than at all uses of the number used to encode
the type within the introspection data.  But this is still a lot
more convenient than having to regenerate the file with the
unmask operation temporarily turned on - merely search the
generated file for '"NNN" =' to learn the corresponding source
name and associated definition of type NNN.

The generated qapi-introspect.c changes only with the addition
of comments, such as:

| @@ -14755,6 +15240,7 @@
|          { "name", QLIT_QSTR("[485]"), },
|          {}

Peter Xu 3ab72385b2 qapi: Drop qapi_event_send_FOO()'s Error ** argument
The generated qapi_event_send_FOO() take an Error ** argument.  They
can't actually fail, because all they do with the argument is passing it
to functions that can't fail: the QObject output visitor, and the
@qmp_emit callback, which is either monitor_qapi_event_queue() or
event_test_emit().

Drop the argument, and pass &error_abort to the QObject output visitor
and @qmp_emit instead.

supported. So for the consistency of trace option invocation, we

Markus Armbruster 00ecec151d qmp: Redo how the client requests out-of-band execution
Commit cf869d5317 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" added a
general mechanism for command-independent arguments just for an
out-of-band flag:

    The "control" key is introduced to store this extra flag.  "control"
    field is used to store arguments that are shared by all the commands,
    rather than command specific arguments.  Let "run-oob" be the first.

However, it failed to reject unknown members of "control".  For
instance, in QMP command

    {"execute": "query-name", "id": 42, "control": {"crap": true}}

"crap" gets silently ignored.

Instead of fixing this, revert the general "control" mechanism
(because YAGNI), and do it the way I initially proposed, with key
"exec-oob".  Simpler code, simpler interface.

An out-of-band command

    {"execute": "migrate-pause", "id": 42, "control": {"run-oob": true}}

becomes

    {"exec-oob": "migrate-pause", "id": 42}

Anton Nefedov 800877bb16 qapi: allow empty branches in flat unions
It often happens that just a few discriminator values imply extra data in
a flat union. Existing checks did not make possible to leave other values
uncovered. Such cases had to be worked around by either stating a dummy
(empty) type or introducing another (subset) discriminator enumeration.

Both options create redundant entities in qapi files for little profit.

With this patch it is not necessary anymore to add designated union
fields for every possible value of a discriminator enumeration.

Cleber Rosa c3d7e8c90d Add functional/acceptance tests infrastructure
This patch adds the very minimum infrastructure necessary for writing
and running functional/acceptance tests, including:

 * Documentation
 * The avocado_qemu.Test base test class
 * One example tests (version.py)

Additional functionality is expected to be added along the tests that
require them.

Emilio G. Cota 0ac20318ce tcg: remove tb_lock
Use mmap_lock in user-mode to protect TCG state and the page descriptors.
In !user-mode, each vCPU has its own TCG state, so no locks needed.
Per-page locks are used to protect the page descriptors.

Per-TB locks are used in both modes to protect TB jumps.

Some notes:

- tb_lock is removed from notdirty_mem_write by passing a
  locked page_collection to tb_invalidate_phys_page_fast.

- tcg_tb_lookup/remove/insert/etc have their own internal lock(s),
  so there is no need to further serialize access to them.

- do_tb_flush is run in a safe async context, meaning no other
  vCPU threads are running. Therefore acquiring mmap_lock there
  is just to please tools such as thread sanitizer.

- Not visible in the diff, but tb_invalidate_phys_page already
  has an assert_memory_lock.

- cpu_io_recompile is !user-only, so no mmap_lock there.

- Added mmap_unlock()'s before all siglongjmp's that could
  be called in user-mode while mmap_lock is held.
  + Added an assert for !have_mmap_lock() after returning from
    the longjmp in cpu_exec, just like we do in cpu_exec_step_atomic.

The gains are high for 4-8 CPUs. Beyond that point, however, unrelated
lock contention significantly hurts scalability.

Emilio G. Cota 194125e3eb translate-all: protect TB jumps with a per-destination-TB lock
This applies to both user-mode and !user-mode emulation.

Instead of relying on a global lock, protect the list of incoming
jumps with tb->jmp_lock. This lock also protects tb->cflags,
so update all tb->cflags readers outside tb->jmp_lock to use
atomic reads via tb_cflags().

In order to find the destination TB (and therefore its jmp_lock)
from the origin TB, we introduce tb->jmp_dest[].

I considered not using a linked list of jumps, which simplifies
code and makes the struct smaller. However, it unnecessarily increases
memory usage, which results in a performance decrease. See for
instance these numbers booting+shutting down debian-arm:
                      Time (s)  Rel. err (%)  Abs. err (s)  Rel. slowdown (%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 before                  20.88          0.74      0.154512                 0.
 after                   20.81          0.38      0.079078        -0.33524904
 GTree                   21.02          0.28      0.058856         0.67049808
 GHashTable + xxhash     21.63          1.08      0.233604          3.5919540

Using a hash table or a binary tree to keep track of the jumps
doesn't really pay off, not only due to the increased memory usage,
but also because most TBs have only 0 or 1 jumps to them. The maximum
number of jumps when booting debian-arm that I measured is 35, but
as we can see in the histogram below a TB with that many incoming jumps
is extremely rare; the average TB has 0.80 incoming jumps.

n_jumps: 379208; avg jumps/tb: 0.801099

Peter Maydell afa4f6653d bswap: Add new stn_*_p() and ldn_*_p() memory access functions
There's a common pattern in QEMU where a function needs to perform
a data load or store of an N byte integer in a particular endianness.
At the moment this is handled by doing a switch() on the size and
calling the appropriate ld*_p or st*_p function for each size.

Provide a new family of functions ldn_*_p() and stn_*_p() which
take the size as an argument and do the switch() themselves.

Igor Mammedov d6fe3d02e9 qapi: introduce new cmd option "allow-preconfig"
New option will be used to allow commands, which are prepared/need
to run, during preconfig state. Other commands that should be able
to run in preconfig state, should be amended to not expect machine
in initialized state or deal with it.

For compatibility reasons, commands that don't use new flag
'allow-preconfig' explicitly are not permitted to run in
preconfig state but allowed in all other states like they used
to be.

Within this patch allow following commands in preconfig state:
   qmp_capabilities
   query-qmp-schema
   query-commands
   query-command-line-options
   query-status
   exit-preconfig
to allow qmp connection, basic introspection and moving to the next
state.

PS:
set-numa-node and query-hotpluggable-cpus will be enabled later in
a separate patches.

Marc-André Lureau cb3e7f08ae qobject: Replace qobject_incref/QINCREF qobject_decref/QDECREF
Now that we can safely call QOBJECT() on QObject * as well as its
subtypes, we can have macros qobject_ref() / qobject_unref() that work
everywhere instead of having to use QINCREF() / QDECREF() for QObject
and qobject_incref() / qobject_decref() for its subtypes.

The replacement is mechanical, except I broke a long line, and added a
cast in monitor_qmp_cleanup_req_queue_locked().  Unlike
qobject_decref(), qobject_unref() doesn't accept void *.

Note that the new macros evaluate their argument exactly once, thus no
need to shout them.

Replace the generated json string with a literal qobject. The later is
easier to deal with, at run time as well as compile time: adding #if
conditionals will be easier than in a json string.

Markus Armbruster eb815e248f qapi: Move qapi-schema.json to qapi/, rename generated files
Move qapi-schema.json to qapi/, so it's next to its modules, and all
files get generated to qapi/, not just the ones generated for modules.

Consistently name the generated files qapi-MODULE.EXT:
qmp-commands.[ch] become qapi-commands.[ch], qapi-event.[ch] become
qapi-events.[ch], and qmp-introspect.[ch] become qapi-introspect.[ch].
This gets rid of the temporary hacks in scripts/qapi/commands.py,
scripts/qapi/events.py, and scripts/qapi/common.py.

Markus Armbruster fb0bc835e5 qapi-gen: New common driver for code and doc generators
Whenever qapi-schema.json changes, we run six programs eleven times to
update eleven files.  Similar for qga/qapi-schema.json.  This is
silly.  Replace the six programs by a single program that spits out
all eleven files.

The programs become modules in new Python package qapi, along with the
helper library.  This requires moving them to scripts/qapi/.  While
moving them, consistently drop executable mode bits.
