Eric Blake 363b4262a1 qapi: Tweak doc references to QMP when QGA is also meant
We have more than one qapi schema in use by more than one protocol.
Add a new term 'Client JSON Protocol' for use throughout the
document, to avoid confusion on whether something refers only to
QMP and not QGA.

Eric Blake 3b2a8b8532 qapi: Document 'struct' metatype
Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union,
alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the
schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing.  Now that the
generator accepts 'struct' as a synonym for 'type', update all
documentation to use saner wording.

Eric Blake 7b1b98c420 qapi: Document new 'alternate' meta-type
The next patch will quit special-casing "'union':'Foo',
'discriminator':{}" and instead use "'alternate':'Foo'".

Separating docs from implementation makes it easier to focus
on wording without holding up code.  In particular, making
alternate a separate type makes for a nice type hierarchy:

          /-------- meta-type ------\
         /              |            \
    simple types    alternate     complex types
    |         |                   |           |
 built-in   enum             type(struct)   union
 |       \    /                            /    \
numeric  string                         simple  flat

A later patch will then clean up 'type' vs. 'struct'
confusion.

Eric Blake 6fb5545172 qapi: Add copyright declaration on docs
While our top-level COPYING with its GPLv2+ license applies to
any documentation file that omits explicit instructions, these
days it's better to be a good example of calling out our
intentions.  Correct use of GPL requires the use of a copyright
statement, so I'm adding notice to two QAPI documents, by
attributing these files to the initial authors and major
contributors.  I used:

$ git blame --line-porcelain $file \
  | sed -n 's/^author //p' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

to determine authorship of these two files.  qmp-spec.txt blames
entirely to Red Hat (easy, since my contribution falls in that
category); while qapi-code-gen.txt has multiple contributors
representing multiple entities.  But since it was originally
supplied by Michael Roth, the notice I added there copies the
notice he has used in other files.  As there is no intended
change in license from the implicit one previously present from
the top level, I have not bothered to CC other contributors;
if we want to weaken things to something looser (such as LGPL)
so that there is no question that someone re-implementing the
spec is not forced to use GPL, that would be a different commit.

Paolo Bonzini 26387f86c9 rcu: add call_rcu
Asynchronous callbacks provided by call_rcu are particularly important
for QEMU, because the BQL makes it hard to use synchronize_rcu.

In addition, the current RCU implementation is not particularly friendly
to multiple concurrent synchronize_rcu callers, making call_rcu even
more important.

Paolo Bonzini 7911747bd4 rcu: add rcu library
This includes a (mangled) copy of the liburcu code.  The main changes
are: 1) removing dependencies on many other header files in liburcu; 2)
removing for simplicity the tentative busy waiting in synchronize_rcu,
which has limited performance effects; 3) replacing futexes in
synchronize_rcu with QemuEvents for Win32 portability.  The API is
the same as liburcu, so it should be possible in the future to require
liburcu on POSIX systems for example and use our copy only on Windows.

Among the various versions available I chose urcu-mb, which is the
least invasive implementation even though it does not have the
fastest rcu_read_{lock,unlock} implementation.  The urcu flavor can
be changed later, after benchmarking.

2. Failed to update option documentation.  In particular, -help still

documentation on -clock.

3. The 'query-alarm-clock' example in docs/writing-commands.txt no

Stefan Hajnoczi f9d7b4b3b4 docs: add blkdebug block driver documentation
The blkdebug block driver is undocumented.  Documenting it is worthwhile
since it offers powerful error injection features that are used by
qemu-iotests test cases.

This document will make it easier for people to learn about and use
blkdebug.

This document explains how IOThreads and the main loop are related,
especially how to write code that can run in an IOThread.  Currently
only virtio-blk-data-plane uses these techniques.  The next obvious
target is virtio-scsi; there has also been work on virtio-net.

Maria Kustova 8e436ec1f3 docs: Make the recommendation for the backing file name position a requirement
The current version of the qcow2 specification recommends to save the backing
file name in the end of the first cluster. It follows that the backing file
name can be saved somewhere in the image, but the first cluster, which
contradicts the current QEMU implementation.

The patch makes the backing file name required to be placed after the header
extensions in the first image cluster.

Paolo Bonzini 0ceb849bd3 AioContext: speed up aio_notify
In many cases, the call to event_notifier_set in aio_notify is unnecessary.
In particular, if we are executing aio_dispatch, or if aio_poll is not
blocking, we know that we will soon get to the next loop iteration (if
necessary); the thread that hosts the AioContext's event loop does not
need any nudging.

The patch includes a Promela formal model that shows that this really
works and does not need any further complication such as generation
counts.  It needs a memory barrier though.

The generation counts are not needed because any change to
ctx->dispatching after the memory barrier is okay for aio_notify.
If it changes from zero to one, it is the right thing to skip
event_notifier_set.  If it changes from one to zero, the
event_notifier_set is unnecessary but harmless.
