There is a bug in ARM address translation regime with a long-descriptor
format. On the descriptor reading its address is formed from an index
which is a part of the input address. And on the first iteration this index
is incorrectly masked with 'grainsize' mask. But it can be wider according
to pseudo-code.
On the other hand on the iterations other than first the descriptor address
is formed from the previous level descriptor by masking with 'descaddrmask'
value. It always clears just 12 lower bits, but it must clear 'grainsize'
lower bits instead according to pseudo-code.
The patch fixes both cases.

Backports commit dfda68377e20943f474505e75238cb96bc6874bf from qemu
Returning a partial object on error is an invitation for a careless
caller to leak memory. We already fixed things in an earlier
patch to guarantee NULL if visit_start fails ("qapi: Guarantee
NULL obj on input visitor callback error"), but that does not
help the case where visit_start succeeds but some other failure
happens before visit_end, such that we leak a partially constructed
object outside visit_type_FOO(). As no one outside the testsuite
was actually relying on these semantics, it is cleaner to just
document and guarantee that ALL pointer-based visit_type_FOO()
functions always leave a safe value in *obj during an input visitor
(either the new object on success, or NULL if an error is
encountered), so callers can now unconditionally use
qapi_free_FOO() to clean up regardless of whether an error occurred.
The decision is done by adding visit_is_input(), then updating the
generated code to check if additional cleanup is needed based on
the type of visitor in use.
Note that we still leave *obj unchanged after a scalar-based
visit_type_FOO(); I did not feel like auditing all uses of
visit_type_Enum() to see if the callers would tolerate a specific
sentinel value (not to mention having to decide whether it would
be better to use 0 or ENUM__MAX as that sentinel).
Backports commit 68ab47e4b4ecc1c4649362b8cc1e49794d1a6537 from qemu
The semantics of the list visit are somewhat baroque, with the
following pseudocode when FooList is used:
start()
for (prev = head; cur = next(prev); prev = &cur) {
visit(&cur->value)
}
Note that these semantics (advance before visit) requires that
the first call to next() return the list head, while all other
calls return the next element of the list; that is, every visitor
implementation is required to track extra state to decide whether
to return the input as-is, or to advance. It also requires an
argument of 'GenericList **' to next(), solely because the first
iteration might need to modify the caller's GenericList head, so
that all other calls have to do a layer of dereferencing.
Thankfully, we only have two uses of list visits in the entire
code base: one in spapr_drc (which completely avoids
visit_next_list(), feeding in integers from a different source
than uint8List), and one in qapi-visit.py. That is, all other
list visitors are generated in qapi-visit.c, and share the same
paradigm based on a qapi FooList type, so we can refactor how
lists are laid out with minimal churn among clients.
We can greatly simplify things by hoisting the special case
into the start() routine, and flipping the order in the loop
to visit before advance:
start(head)
for (tail = *head; tail; tail = next(tail)) {
visit(&tail->value)
}
With the simpler semantics, visitors have less state to track,
the argument to next() is reduced to 'GenericList *', and it
also becomes obvious whether an input visitor is allocating a
FooList during visit_start_list() (rather than the old way of
not knowing if an allocation happened until the first
visit_next_list()). As a minor drawback, we now allocate in
two functions instead of one, and have to pass the size to
both functions (unless we were to tweak the input visitors to
cache the size to start_list for reuse during next_list, but
that defeats the goal of less visitor state).
The signature of visit_start_list() is chosen to match
visit_start_struct(), with the new parameters after 'name'.
The spapr_drc case is a virtual visit, done by passing NULL for
list, similarly to how NULL is passed to visit_start_struct()
when a qapi type is not used in those visits. It was easy to
provide these semantics for qmp-output and dealloc visitors,
and a bit harder for qmp-input (several prerequisite patches
refactored things to make this patch straightforward). But it
turned out that the string and opts visitors munge enough other
state during visit_next_list() to make it easier to just
document and require a GenericList visit for now; an assertion
will remind us to adjust things if we need the semantics in the
future.
Several pre-requisite cleanup patches made the reshuffling of
the various visitors easier; particularly the qmp input visitor.
Backports commit d9f62dde1303286b24ac8ce88be27e2b9b9c5f46 from qemu
As shown in the previous commit, the string input visitor was
treating bogus input as an empty list rather than an error.
Fix parse_str() to set errp, then the callers to exit early if
an error was reported.
Meanwhile, fix the testsuite to use the generated
qapi_free_int16List() instead of rolling our own, and to
validate the fixed behavior, while at the same time documenting
one more change that we'd like to make in a later patch (a
failed visit_start_list should guarantee a NULL pointer,
regardless of what things were on input).
Backports commit 74f24cb6306d065045d0e2215a7d10533fa59c57 from qemu
As mentioned in previous patches, we want to call visit_end_struct()
functions unconditionally, so that visitors can release resources
tied up since the matching visit_start_struct() without also having
to worry about error priority if more than one error occurs.
Even though error_propagate() can be safely used to ignore a second
error during cleanup caused by a first error, it is simpler if the
cleanup cannot set an error. So, split out the error checking
portion (basically, input visitors checking for unvisited keys) into
a new function visit_check_struct(), which can be safely skipped if
any earlier errors are encountered, and leave the cleanup portion
(which never fails, but must be called unconditionally if
visit_start_struct() succeeded) in visit_end_struct().

Tighten assertions in the QMP output visitor, so that:
- qmp_output_get_qobject() can only be called after pairing a
visit_end_* for every visit_start_* (rather than allowing it on
a partially built object)
- qmp_output_get_qobject() cannot be called unless at least one
visit_type_* or visit_start/visit_end pair has occurred since
creation/reset (the accidental return of NULL fixed by commit
ab8bf1d7 would have been much easier to diagnose)
- ensure that we are encountering the expected object or list
type, to provide protection against mismatched push(struct)/
pop(list) or push(list)/pop(struct), similar to the qmp-input
protection added in commit bdd8e6b5.
- ensure that except for the root, 'name' is non-null inside a
dict, and NULL inside a list (this may need changing later if
we add "name.0" support for better error messages for a list,
but for now it makes sure all users are at least consistent)

Implement the new type_null() callback for the qmp input and
output visitors. While we don't yet have a use for this in QAPI
input (the generator will need some tweaks first), some
potential usages have already been discussed on the list.
Meanwhile, the output visitor could already output explicit null
via type_any, but this gives us finer control.
At any rate, it's easy to test that we can round-trip an explicit
null through manual use of visit_type_null() wrapped by a virtual
visit_start_struct() walk, even if we can't do the visit in a
QAPI type. Repurpose the test_visitor_out_empty test,
particularly since a future patch will tighten semantics to
forbid use of qmp_output_get_qobject() without at least one
intervening visit_type_*.
Backports commit 3df016f185521f8dfa5bd89168722887156405c7 from qemu
Right now, qmp-output-visitor happens to produce a QNull result
if nothing is actually visited between the creation of the visitor
and the request for the resulting QObject. A stronger protocol
would require that a QMP output visit MUST visit something. But
to still be able to produce a JSON 'null' output, we need a new
visitor function that states our intentions. Yes, we could say
that such a visit must go through visit_type_any(), but that
feels clunky.
So this patch introduces the new visit_type_null() interface and
its no-op interface in the dealloc visitor, and stubs in the
qmp visitors (the next patch will finish the implementation).
For the visitors that will not implement the callback, document
the situation. The code in qapi-visit-core unconditionally
dereferences the callback pointer, so that a segfault will inform
a developer if they need to implement the callback for their
choice of visitor.
Note that JSON has a primitive null type, with the single value
null; likewise with the QNull type for QObject; but for QAPI,
we just have the 'null' value without a null type. We may
eventually want to add more support in QAPI for null (most likely,
we'd use it via an alternate type that permits 'null' or an
object); but we'll create that usage when we need it.
Backports commit 3bc97fd5924561d92f32758c67eaffd2e4e25038 from qemu
The visitor interface for mapping between QObject/QemuOpts/string
and QAPI is scandalously under-documented, making changes to visitor
core, individual visitors, and users of visitors difficult to
coordinate. Among other questions: when is it safe to pass NULL,
vs. when a string must be provided; which visitors implement which
callbacks; the difference between concrete and virtual visits.
Correct this by retrofitting proper contracts, and document where some
of the interface warts remain (for example, we may want to modify
visit_end_* to require the same 'obj' as the visit_start counterpart,
so the dealloc visitor can be simplified). Later patches in this
series will tackle some, but not all, of these warts.
Add assertions to (partially) enforce the contract. Some of these
were only made possible by recent cleanup commits.

After recent changes, the only remaining use of
visit_start_implicit_struct() is for allocating the space needed
when visiting an alternate. Since the term 'implicit struct' is
hard to explain, rename the function to its current usage. While
at it, we can merge the functionality of visit_get_next_type()
into the same function, making it more like visit_start_struct().
Generated code is now slightly smaller:

In the QMP input visitor, visiting a list traverses two objects:
the QAPI GenericList of the caller (which gets advanced in
visit_next_list() regardless of this patch), and the QList input
that we are converting to QAPI. For consistency with QDict
visits, we want to consume elements from the input QList during
the visit_type_FOO() for the list element; that is, we want ALL
the code for consuming an input to live in qmp_input_get_object(),
rather than having it split according to whether we are visiting
a dict or a list. Making qmp_input_get_object() the common point
of consumption will make it easier for a later patch to refactor
visit_start_list() to cover the GenericList * head of a QAPI list,
and in turn will get rid of the 'first' flag (which lived in
qmp_input_next_list() pre-patch, and is hoisted to StackObject
by this patch).
This patch is therefore altering the post-condition use of 'entry',
while keeping what gets visited unchanged, from:
start_list next_list type_ELT ... next_list type_ELT next_list end_list
visits 1st elt last elt
entry NULL 1st elt 1st elt last elt last elt NULL gone
where type_ELT() returns (entry ? entry : 1st elt) and next_list() steps
entry
to this usage:
start_list next_list type_ELT ... next_list type_ELT next_list end_list
visits 1st elt last elt
entry 1st elt 1nd elt 2nd elt last elt NULL NULL gone
where type_ELT() steps entry and returns the old entry, and next_list()
leaves entry alone.

Don't embed the root of the visit into the stack of current
containers being visited. That way, we no longer get confused
on whether the first visit of a dictionary is to the dictionary
itself or to one of the members of the dictionary, based on
whether the caller passed name=NULL; and makes the QMP Input
visitor like other visitors where the value of 'name' is now
ignored on the root visit. (We may someday want to revisit
the rules on what 'name' should be on a top-level visit,
rather than just ignoring it; but that would be the topic of
another patch).
An audit of all qmp_input_visitor_new() call sites shows that
there were only two places where callers had previously been
visiting to a QDict with a non-NULL name to bypass a call to
visit_start_struct(), and those were fixed in prior patches.

Commit e8316d7 mistakenly passed consume=true within
qmp_input_optional() when checking if an optional member was
present, but the mistake was silently ignored since the code
happily let us extract a member more than once. Fix
qmp_input_optional() to not consume anything, then tighten up
the input visitor to ensure that a member is consumed exactly
once (all generated code follows this pattern; and the new
assert will catch any hand-written code that tries to visit
the same key more than once).

The following uses of a QMP input visitor should be strict
(that is, excess keys in QDict input should be flagged if not
converted to QAPI):
- Testsuite code unrelated to explicitly testing non-strict
mode (test-qmp-commands, test-visitor-serialization); since
we want more code to be strict by default, having more tests
of strict mode doesn't hurt
- Code used for cloning QAPI objects (replay-input.c,
qemu-sockets.c); we are reparsing a QObject just barely
produced by the qmp output visitor and which therefore should
not have any garbage, so while it is extra work to be strict,
it validates that our clone is correct [note that a later patch
series will simplify these two uses by creating an actual
clone visitor that is much more efficient than a
generate/reparse cycle]
- qmp_object_add(), which calls into user_creatable_add_type().
Since command line parsing for '-object' uses the same
user_creatable_add_type() through the OptsVisitor, and that is
always strict, we want to ensure that any nested dictionaries
would be treated the same in QMP and from the command line (I
don't actually know if such nested dictionaries exist). Note
that on this code change, strictness only matters for nested
dictionaries (if even possible), since we already flag excess
input at the top level during an earlier object_property_set()
on an unknown key, whether from QemuOpts:
$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -nodefaults -qmp stdio -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw,foo=bar
qemu-system-x86_64: -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw,foo=bar: Property '.foo' not found

The only remaining uses of non-strict input visits are:
- QMP 'qom-set' (which eventually executes
object_property_set_qobject()) - mark it as something to revisit
in the future (I didn't want to spend any more time on this patch
auditing if we have any QOM dictionary properties that might be
impacted, and couldn't easily prove whether this code path is
shared with anything else).
- test-qmp-input-visitor: explicit tests of non-strict mode. If
we later get rid of users that don't need strictness, then this
test should be merged with test-qmp-input-strict

Rather than having two separate ways to create a QMP input
visitor, where the safer approach has the more verbose name,
it is better to consolidate things into a single function
where the caller must explicitly choose whether to be strict
or to ignore excess input. This patch is the strictly
mechanical conversion; the next patch will then audit which
uses can be made stricter.

Management of the top of stack was a bit verbose; creating a
temporary variable and adding some comments makes the existing
code more legible before the next few patches improve things.
No semantic changes other than asserting that we are always
visiting a QObject, and not a NULL value. In particular, the
check for 'name && qobject_type(qobj) == QTYPE_QDICT)' is a
bit overkill (a dict visit should always have a name); a later
patch revisits that, while this patch is only changing one
layer of indentation due to dropping 'if (qobj)'.
Backports commit b471d012e5d7bec1d2272738141e121b5581fcdf from qemu
Our existing input visitors were not very consistent on errors in a
function taking 'TYPE **obj'. These are start_struct(),
start_alternate(), type_str(), and type_any(). next_list() is
similar, but can't fail (see commit 08f9541). While all of them set
'*obj' to allocated storage on success, it was not obvious whether
'*obj' was guaranteed safe on failure, or whether it was left
uninitialized. But a future patch wants to guarantee that
visit_type_FOO() does not leak a partially-constructed obj back to
the caller; it is easier to implement this if we can reliably state
that input visitors assign '*obj' regardless of success or failure,
and that on failure *obj is NULL. Add assertions to enforce
consistency in the final setting of err vs. *obj.
The opts-visitor start_struct() doesn't set an error, but it
also was doing a weird check for 0 size; all callers pass in
non-zero size if obj is non-NULL.
The testsuite has at least one spot where we no longer need
to pre-initialize a variable prior to a visit; valgrind confirms
that the test is still fine with the cleanup.
A later patch will document the design constraint implemented
here.

By sticking the next pointer first, we don't need a union with
64-bit padding for smaller types. On 32-bit platforms, this
can reduce the size of uint8List from 16 bytes (or 12, depending
on whether 64-bit ints can tolerate 4-byte alignment) down to 8.
It has no effect on 64-bit platforms (where alignment still
dictates a 16-byte struct); but fewer anonymous unions is still
a win in my book.
It requires visit_next_list() to gain a size parameter, to know
what size element to allocate; comparable to the size parameter
of visit_start_struct().
I debated about going one step further, to allow for fewer casts,
by doing:
typedef GenericList GenericList;
struct GenericList {
GenericList *next;
};
struct FooList {
GenericList base;
Foo *value;
};
so that you convert to 'GenericList *' by '&foolist->base', and
back by 'container_of(generic, GenericList, base)' (as opposed to
the existing '(GenericList *)foolist' and '(FooList *)generic').
But doing that would require hoisting the declaration of
GenericList prior to inclusion of qapi-types.h, rather than its
current spot in visitor.h; it also makes iteration a bit more
verbose through 'foolist->base.next' instead of 'foolist->next'.
Note that for lists of objects, the 'value' payload is still
hidden behind a boxed pointer. Someday, it would be nice to do:
struct FooList {
FooList *next;
Foo value;
};
for one less level of malloc for each list element. This patch
is a step in that direction (now that 'next' is no longer at a
fixed non-zero offset within the struct, we can store more than
just a pointer's-worth of data as the value payload), but the
actual conversion would be a task for another series, as it will
touch a lot of code.
Backports commit e65d89bf1a4484e0db0f3dc820a8b209f2fb1e8b from qemu
We have three classes of QAPI visitors: input, output, and dealloc.
Currently, all implementations of these visitors have one thing in
common based on their visitor type: the implementation used for the
visit_type_enum() callback. But since we plan to add more such
common behavior, in relation to documenting and further refining
the semantics, it makes more sense to have the visitor
implementations advertise which class they belong to, so the common
qapi-visit-core code can use that information in multiple places.
A later patch will better document the types of visitors directly
in visitor.h.
For this patch, knowing the class of a visitor implementation lets
us make input_type_enum() and output_type_enum() become static

Move comments in opts-visitor.c to match the refactored layout.
Backports commit 983f52d4b3f86fb9dc9f8b142132feb5a8723016 from qemu
QEMU 2.6 added support for the XSAVE family of instructions, which
includes the XSETBV instruction which allows setting the XCR0
register.
But, when booting Linux kernels with XSAVE support enabled, I was
getting very early crashes where the instruction pointer was set
to 0x3. I tracked it down to a jump instruction generated by this:
gen_jmp_im(s->pc - pc_start);
where s->pc is pointing to the instruction after XSETBV and pc_start
is pointing _at_ XSETBV. Subtract the two and you get 0x3. Whoops.
The fix is to replace this typo with the pattern found everywhere
else in the file when folks want to end the translation buffer.
Richard Henderson confirmed that this is a bug and that this is the
correct fix.

Recent versions of GCC report the following error when compiling
target-mips/helper.c:
qemu/target-mips/helper.c:542:9: warning: ‘memset’ used with length
equal to number of elements without multiplication by element size
[-Wmemset-elt-size]

Commit b00c72180c36 ("target-mips: add PC, XNP reg numbers to RDHWR")
changed the rdhwr helpers to use check_hwrena() to check the register
being accessed is enabled in CP0_HWREna when used from user mode. If
that check fails an EXCP_RI exception is raised at the host PC
calculated with GETPC().
However check_hwrena() may not be fully inlined as the
do_raise_exception() part of it is common regardless of the arguments.
This causes GETPC() to calculate the address in the call in the helper
instead of the generated code calling the helper. No TB will be found
and the EPC reported with the resulting guest RI exception points to the
beginning of the TB instead of the RDHWR instruction.
We can't reliably force check_hwrena() to be inlined, and converting it
to a macro would be ugly, so instead pass the host PC in as an argument,
with each rdhwr helper passing GETPC(). This should avoid any dependence
on compiler behaviour, and in practice seems to ensure the full inlining
of check_hwrena() on x86_64.
This issue causes failures when running a MIPS KVM (trap & emulate)
guest in a MIPS QEMU TCG guest, as the inner guest kernel will do a
RDHWR of counter, which is disabled in the outer guest's CP0_HWREna by
KVM so it can emulate the inner guest's counter. The emulation fails and
the RI exception is passed to the inner guest.

For KVM to use Transparent Huge Pages (THP) we have to ensure that the
alignment of the userspace address of the KVM memory slot and the IPA
that the guest sees for a memory region have the same offset from the 2M
huge page size boundary.
One way to achieve this is to always align the IPA region at a 2M
boundary and ensure that the mmap alignment is also at 2M.
Unfortunately, we were only doing this for __arm__, not for __aarch64__,
so add this simple condition.
This fixes a performance regression using KVM/ARM on AArch64 platforms
that showed a performance penalty of more than 50%, introduced by the
following commit:
9fac18f (oslib: allocate PROT_NONE pages on top of RAM, 2015-09-10)
We were only lucky before the above commit, because we were allocating
large regions and naturally getting a 2M alignment on those allocations
then.

The TCG code is quite performance sensitive, but at the same time can
also be quite tricky. That is why asserts that can be enabled with the
--enable-debug-tcg configure option.
This used to work the following way:
| #include "config.h"
|
| ...
|
| #if !defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG) && !defined(NDEBUG)
| /* define it to suppress various consistency checks (faster) */
| #define NDEBUG
| #endif
|
| ...
|
| #include <assert.h>
Since commit 757e725b (tcg: Clean up includes) "config.h" as been
replaced by "qemu/osdep.h" which itself includes <assert.h>. As a
consequence the assertions are always enabled, even when using
--disable-debug-tcg, causing a performance regression, especially on
targets with many registers. For instance on qemu-system-ppc the
speed difference is about 15%.
tcg_debug_assert is controlled directly by CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG and already
uses in some places. This patch replaces all the calls to assert into
calss to tcg_debug_assert.

Accoding the chapter 7.6 Trap Processing of the SPARC Architecture Manual v9,
the Trap Based Address Register is not modified as a trap is taken.
This fix allows booting FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-sparc64.
Backports commit de5f1077446ca455342db149737bdc395a7b9882 from qemu
ldstub [addr], reg incorrectly reads a signed byte from memory which causes
problems in the 32-bit Solaris mutex code. Here the byte value being read is
0xff which is incorrectly sign-extended to 0xffffffff before being written back
to the target register causing lock detection to behave incorrectly.
This fixes the intermittent hangs and MUTEX_HELD warnings issued to the
console when running 32-bit Solaris images under qemu-system-sparc.
With thanks to Joseph Dery for providing a condensed test image to consistently
reproduce the problem on demand, and Martin Husemann for allowing me access to
real hardware for comparison.

Xiao Guangrong ran kvm-unit-tests on an actual machine with PKU and
found that it fails:
test pte.p pte.user pde.p pde.user pde.a pde.pse pkru.wd pkey=1 user write efer.nx cr4.pke: FAIL: error code 27 expected 7
Dump mapping: address: 0x123400000000
------L4: 2ebe007
------L3: 2ebf007
------L2: 8000000020000a5
(All failures are combinations of "pde.user pde.p pkru.wd pkey=1",
plus either "pde.pse" or "pte.p pte.user", plus one of "user cr0.wp",
"cr0.wp" or "user", plus unimportant bits such as accessed/dirty or
efer.nx).
So PFEC.PKEY is set even if the ordinary check failed (which it did
because pde.w is zero). Adjust QEMU to match behavior of silicon.
