Improve the TB execution logging so that it is easier to identify
what is happening from trace logs:
* move the "Trace" logging of executed TBs into cpu_tb_exec()
so that it is emitted if and only if we actually execute a TB,
and for consistency for the CPU state logging
* log when we link two TBs together via tb_add_jump()
* log when cpu_tb_exec() returns early from a chain of TBs
The new style logging looks like this:

This patch replaces get_ticks_per_sec() calls with the macro

For example,
timer_mod(fdctrl->result_timer,
qemu_clock_get_ns(QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL) + (get_ticks_per_sec() / 50));
NANOSECONDS_PER_SECOND makes it obvious that qemu_clock_get_ns
matches the unit of the expression on the right side of the plus.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into

any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

Backports commit e89fdafb58038038e3ccb860c5e1068ba063bac8 from qemu
Now that the generator supports it, we might as well use an
anonymous base rather than breaking out a single-use Base
structure, for all three of our current QMP flat unions.
Oddly enough, this change does not affect the resulting
introspection output (because we already inline the members of
a base type into an object, and had no independent use of the
base type reachable from a command).
The case_whitelist now has to list the name of an implicit
type; which is not too bad (consider it a feature if it makes
it harder for developers to make the whitelist grow :)
Backports commit 3666a97f78704b941c360dc917acb14c8774eca7 from qemu
Rather than requiring all flat unions to explicitly create
a separate base struct, we can allow the qapi schema to specify
the common members via an inline dictionary. This is similar to
how commands can specify an inline anonymous type for its 'data'.
We already have several struct types that only exist to serve as
a single flat union's base; the next commit will clean them up.
In particular, this patch's change to the BlockdevOptions example
in qapi-code-gen.txt will actually be done in the real QAPI schema.
Now that anonymous bases are legal, we need to rework the
flat-union-bad-base negative test (as previously written, it
forms what is now valid QAPI; tweak it to now provide coverage
of a new error message path), and add a positive test in
qapi-schema-test to use an anonymous base (making the integer
argument optional, for even more coverage).
Note that this patch only allows anonymous bases for flat unions;
simple unions are already enough syntactic sugar that we do not
want to burden them further. Meanwhile, while it would be easy
to also allow an anonymous base for structs, that would be quite
redundant, as the members can be put right into the struct
instead.
Backports commit ac4338f8eb783fd421aae492ca262a586918471e from qemu
Simple unions were carrying a special case that hid their 'data'
QMP member from the resulting C struct, via the hack method
QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariant.simple_union_type(). But by using
the work we started by unboxing flat union and alternate
branches, coupled with the ability to visit the members of an
implicit type, we can now expose the simple union's implicit
type in qapi-types.h:
| struct q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificQCow2_wrapper {
| ImageInfoSpecificQCow2 *data;
| };
|
| struct q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificVmdk_wrapper {
| ImageInfoSpecificVmdk *data;
| };
...
| struct ImageInfoSpecific {
| ImageInfoSpecificKind type;
| union { /* union tag is @type */
| void *data;
|- ImageInfoSpecificQCow2 *qcow2;
|- ImageInfoSpecificVmdk *vmdk;
|+ q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificQCow2_wrapper qcow2;
|+ q_obj_ImageInfoSpecificVmdk_wrapper vmdk;
| } u;
| };
Doing this removes asymmetry between QAPI's QMP side and its
C side (both sides now expose 'data'), and means that the
treatment of a simple union as sugar for a flat union is now
equivalent in both languages (previously the two approaches used
a different layer of dereferencing, where the simple union could
be converted to a flat union with equivalent C layout but
different {} on the wire, or to an equivalent QMP wire form
but with different C representation). Using the implicit type
also lets us get rid of the simple_union_type() hack.
Of course, now all clients of simple unions have to adjust from
using su->u.member to using su->u.member.data; while this touches
a number of files in the tree, some earlier cleanup patches
helped minimize the change to the initialization of a temporary
variable rather than every single member access. The generated
qapi-visit.c code is also affected by the layout change:

Now that we are always bulk-initializing a QAPI C struct to 0
(whether by g_malloc0() or by 'Type arg = {0};'), we no longer

a use in the future, but in the present, get rid of the dead code.

Commit 82ca8e46 noticed that we had multiple implementations of
visiting every member of a struct, and consolidated it into
gen_visit_fields() (now gen_visit_members()) with enough
parameters to cater to slight differences between the clients.
But recent exposure of implicit types has meant that we are now
down to a single use of that method, so we can clean up the
unused conditionals and just inline it into the remaining
caller: gen_visit_object_members().
Likewise, gen_err_check() no longer needs optional parameters,
as the lone use of non-defaults was via gen_visit_members().
No change to generated code.

Notice that the initialization of 'param' has to cast away const
(just as the old gen_visit_members() had to do): we can't change
the signature of the user function (which uses 'const char *'), but
have to assign it to a non-const QAPI object (which requires
'char *').
While touching this, document with a FIXME comment that there is
still a potential collision between QMP members and our choice of
local variable names within qapi_event_send_FOO().
This patch also paves the way for some followup simplifications
in the generator, in subsequent patches.
Backports commit 0949e95b48e30715e157cabbc59dcb0ed912d3ff from qemu
The original choice of ':obj-' as the prefix for implicit types
made it obvious that we weren't going to clash with any user-defined
names, which cannot contain ':'. But now we want to create structs
for implicit types, to get rid of special cases in the generators,
and our use of ':' in implicit names needs a tweak to produce valid
C code.
We could transliterate ':' to '_', except that C99 mandates that
"identifiers that begin with an underscore are always reserved for
use as identifiers with file scope in both the ordinary and tag name
spaces". So it's time to change our naming convention: we can
instead use the 'q_' prefix that we reserved for ourselves back in
commit 9fb081e0. Technically, since we aren't planning on exposing
the empty type in generated code, we could keep the name ':empty',
but renaming it to 'q_empty' makes the check for startswith('q_')
cover all implicit types, whether or not code is generated for them.
As long as we don't declare 'empty' or 'obj' ticklish, it shouldn't
clash with c_name() prepending 'q_' to the user's ticklish names.
Backports commit 7599697c66d22ff4c859ba6ccea30e6a9aae6b9b from qemu
We already have several places that want to visit all the members
of an implicit object within a larger context (simple union variant,
event with anonymous data, command with anonymous arguments struct);
and will be adding another one soon (the ability to declare an
anonymous base for a flat union). Having a C struct declared for
these implicit types, along with a visit_type_FOO_members() helper
function, will make for fewer special cases in our generator.
We do not, however, need qapi_free_FOO() or visit_type_FOO()
functions for implicit types, because they should not be used
directly outside of the generated code. This is done by adding a
conditional in visit_object_type() for both qapi-types.py and
qapi-visit.py based on the object name. The comparison of
"name.startswith('q_')" is a bit hacky (it's basically duplicating
what .is_implicit() already uses), but beats changing the signature
of the visit_object_type() callback to pass a new 'implicit' flag.
The hack should be temporary: we are considering adding a future
patch that consolidates the narrow visit_object_type(..., base,
local_members, variants) and visit_object_type_flat(...,
all_members, variants) [where different sets of information are
already broken out, and the QAPISchemaObjectType is no longer
available] into a broader visit_object_type(obj_type) [where the
visitor can query the needed fields from obj_type directly].
Also, now that we WANT to output C code for implicits, we no longer
need the visit_needed() filter, leaving 'q_empty' as the only object
still needing a special case. Remember, 'q_empty' is the only
built-in generated object, which means that without a special case
it would be emitted in multiple files (the main qapi-types.h and in
qga-qapi-types.h) causing compilation failure due to redefinition.
But since it has no members, it's easier to just avoid an attempt to
visit that particular type; since gen_object() is called recursively,
we also prime the objects_seen set to cover any recursion into the
empty type.
The patch relies on the changed naming of implicit types in the
previous patch. It is a bit unfortunate that the generated struct
names and visit_type_FOO_members() don't match normal naming
conventions, but it's not too bad, since they will only be used in
generated code.
The generated code grows substantially in size: the implicit
'-wrapper' types must be emitted in qapi-types.h before any union
can include an unboxed member of that type. Arguably, the '-args'
types could be emitted in a private header for just qapi-visit.c
and qmp-marshal.c, rather than polluting qapi-types.h; but adding
complexity to the generator to split the output location according
to role doesn't seem worth the maintenance costs.

as well as the FIXME comment. Update the testsuite to drop the

Backports commit 48eb62a74fc2d6b0ae9e5f414304a85cfbf33066 from qemu
Dan Berrange reported a case where he needs to work with a
QCryptoBlockOptions union type using the OptsVisitor, but only
visit one of the branches of that type (the discriminator is not
visited directly, but learned externally). When things were
boxed, it was easy: just visit the variant directly, which took
care of both allocating the variant and visiting its members, then
store that pointer in the union type. But now that things are
unboxed, we need a way to visit the members without allocation,
done by exposing visit_type_FOO_members() to the user.
Before the patch, we had quite a bit of code associated with
object_members_seen to make sure that a declaration of the helper
was in scope before any use of the function. But now that the
helper is public and declared in the header, the .c file no
longer needs to worry about topological sorting (the helper is
always in scope), which leads to some nice cleanups.

QAPISchemaType.c_type() is a bit awkward: it takes two optional
boolean flags is_param and is_unboxed, and they should never both
be True.
Add a new method for each of the flags, and drop the flags from
c_type().
Most callers pass no flags; they remain unchanged.
One caller passes is_param=True; call the new .c_param_type()
instead.
One caller passes is_unboxed=True, except for simple union types.
This is actually an ugly special case that will go away soon, so
until then, we now have to call either .c_type() or the new
.c_unboxed_type(). Tolerable in the interim.
It requires slightly more Python, but is arguably easier to read.
Backports commit 4040d995e49c5b818be79e50a18c1bf8d2354d12 from qemu
We are getting closer to the point where we could use one union
as the base or variant type within another union type (as long
as there are no collisions between any possible combination of
member names allowed across all discriminator choices). But
until we get to that point, it is worth asserting that variants
are not present in places where we are not prepared to handle
them: when exploding a type into a parameter list, we do not
expect variants. The qapi.py code is already checking this,
via the older check_type() method; but someday we hope to get
rid of that and move checking into QAPISchema*.check(). The
two asserts added here make sure any refactoring still catches
problems, and makes it locally obvious why we can iterate over
only type.members without worrying about type.variants.

While ADDSEG will only be false in 16-bit mode for LEA, it can be

iter = object_property_iter_init(obj);
while ((prop = object_property_iter_next(iter))) {
...
}
object_property_iter_free(iter);
This has the benefit that the ObjectPropertyIterator struct
can be opaque, but has the downside that callers need to
explicitly call a free function. It is also not in keeping
with iterator style used elsewhere in QEMU/GLib2.
This patch changes the API to use stack allocation instead:
ObjectPropertyIterator iter;
object_property_iter_init(&iter, obj);
while ((prop = object_property_iter_next(&iter))) {
...
}

When there are many instances of a given class, registering
properties against the instance is wasteful of resources. The
majority of objects have a statically defined list of possible
properties, so most of the properties are easily registerable
against the class. Only those properties which are conditionally
registered at runtime need be recorded against the klass.
Registering properties against classes also makes it possible
to provide static introspection of QOM - currently introspection
is only possible after creating an instance of a class, which
severely limits its usefulness.
This impl only supports simple scalar properties. It does not
attempt to allow child object / link object properties against
the class. There are ways to support those too, but it would
make this patch more complicated, so it is left as an exercise
for the future.
There is no equivalent to object_property_del() provided, since
classes must be immutable once they are defined.
Backports commit 16bf7f522a2ff68993f80631ed86254c71eaf5d4 from qemu
ARM GICv3 systems with large number of CPUs create lots of IRQ pins. Since
every pin is represented as a property, number of these properties becomes
very large. Every property add first makes sure there's no duplicates.
Traversing the list becomes very slow, therefore QEMU initialization takes
significant time (several seconds for e. g. 16 CPUs).
This patch replaces list with GHashTable, making lookup very fast. The only
drawback is that object_child_foreach() and object_child_foreach_recursive()
cannot add or remove properties during traversal, since GHashTableIter does
not have modify-safe version. However, the code seems not to modify objects
via these functions.

Commit ef701d7 screwed up handling of out-of-memory conditions.
Before the commit, we report the error and exit(1), in one place. The
commit lifts the error handling up the call chain some, to three
places. Fine. Except it uses &error_abort in these places, changing
the behavior from exit(1) to abort(), and thus undoing the work of
commit 3922825 "exec: Don't abort when we can't allocate guest
memory".
The previous two commits fixed one of the three places, another one
was fixed in commit 33e0eb5. This commit fixes the third one.

Just specifying ops = NULL in some cases can be more convenient than having
two functions.

memory_region_present() leaks a reference to a MemoryRegion in the
case "mr == container". While fixing it, avoid reference counting
altogether for memory_region_present(), by using RCU only.
The return value could in principle be already invalid immediately
after memory_region_present returns, but presumably the caller knows
that and it's using memory_region_present to probe for devices that
are unpluggable, or something like that. The RCU critical section
is needed anyway, because it protects as->current_map.
Backports commit c6742b14fe7352059cd4954a356a8105757af31b from qemu
Very often the owner of the aliased region is the same as the owner of the alias
region itself. When this happens, the reference count can never go back to 0 and
the owner is leaked. This is for example breaking hot-unplug of virtio-pci
devices (the device cannot be plugged back again with the same id).
Another common use for alias is to transform the system I/O address space
into an MMIO regions; in this case the aliased region never dies, so there
is no problem. Otherwise the owner is always the same for aliasing
and aliased region.
I checked all calls to memory_region_init_alias introduced after commit
dfde4e6 (memory: add ref/unref calls, 2013-05-06) and they do not need the
reference in order to keep the owner of the aliased region alive.
