2016-05-29docs/atomics: update comparison with LinuxPaolo Bonzini
Over time, some differences between QEMU and Linux atomics are getting smoothed. In particular, Linux grew atomic_fetch_or (and in general the differences regarding RMW operations were not described accurately) and smp_load_acquire/smp_store_release. Also, set_mb was renamed to smp_store_mb(). Include these changes in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
2016-05-29docs/atomics: update atomic_read/set comparison with LinuxEmilio G. Cota
Recently Linux did a mass conversion of its atomic_read/set calls so that they at least are READ/WRITE_ONCE. See Linux's commit 62e8a325 ("atomic, arch: Audit atomic_{read,set}()"). It seems though that their documentation hasn't been updated to reflect this. The appended updates our documentation to reflect the change, which means there is effectively no difference between our atomic_read/set and the current Linux implementation. While at it, fix the statement that a barrier is implied by atomic_read/set, which is incorrect. Volatile/atomic semantics prevent transformations pertaining the variable they apply to; this, however, has no effect on surrounding statements like barriers do.

2016-05-12qapi: Change visit_type_FOO() to no longer return partial objectsEric Blake
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).

2016-05-12qapi: Simplify semantics of visit_next_list()Eric Blake
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.

2016-05-12qapi: Split visit_end_struct() into piecesEric Blake
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().

2016-05-12qapi-commands: Wrap argument visit in visit_start_structEric Blake
The qmp-input visitor was allowing callers to play rather fast and loose: when visiting a QDict, you could grab members of the root dictionary without first pushing into the dict; among the culprit callers was the generated marshal code on the 'arguments' dictionary of a QMP command. But we are about to tighten the input visitor, at which point the generated marshal code MUST follow the same paradigms as everyone else, of pushing into the struct before grabbing its keys. Generated code grows as follows: |@@ -515,7 +641,12 @@ void qmp_marshal_blockdev_backup(QDict * | BlockdevBackup arg = {0}; | | v = qmp_input_get_visitor(qiv); |+ visit_start_struct(v, NULL, NULL, 0, &err); |+ if (err) { |+ goto out; |+ } | visit_type_BlockdevBackup_members(v, &arg, &err); |+ visit_end_struct(v, err ?

NULL : &err' is temporary; a later patch will clean that up when it splits visit_end_struct(). Prior to this patch, the fact that there was no final visit_end_struct() meant that even though we are using a strict input visit, the marshalling code was not detecting excess input at the top level (only in nested levels). Fortunately, we have code in monitor.c:qmp_check_client_args() that also checks for no excess arguments at the top level. But as the generated code is more compact than the manual check, a later patch will clean up monitor.c to drop the redundancy added here.

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.

FW CFG's primary user is QEMU, which uses it to expose configuration information (in the widest sense) to Firmware. Thus the name FW CFG. FW CFG can also be used by others for their own purposes. QEMU is merely acting as transport then. Names starting with opt/ are reserved for such uses. There is no provision, however, to guide safe sharing among different such users. Fix that, loosely following QMP precedence: names should start with opt/RFQDN/, where RFQDN is a reverse fully qualified domain name you control. Based on a more ambitious patch from Michael Tsirkin.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Require master to have ID zeroMarkus Armbruster
Migration with ivshmem needs to be carefully orchestrated to work. Exactly one peer (the "master") migrates to the destination, all other peers need to unplug (and disconnect), migrate, plug back (and reconnect). This is sort of documented in qemu-doc. If peers connect on the destination before migration completes, the shared memory can get messed up. This isn't documented anywhere. Fix that in qemu-doc. To avoid messing up register IVPosition on migration, the server must assign the same ID on source and destination. ivshmem-spec.txt leaves ID assignment unspecified, however. Amend ivshmem-spec.txt to require the first client to receive ID zero. The example ivshmem-server complies: it always assigns the first unused ID. For a bit of additional safety, enforce ID zero for the master. This does nothing when we're not using a server, because the ID is zero for all peers then.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Split ivshmem-plain, ivshmem-doorbell off ivshmemMarkus Armbruster
ivshmem can be configured with and without interrupt capability (a.k.a. "doorbell"). The two configurations have largely disjoint options, which makes for a confusing (and badly checked) user interface. Moreover, the device can't tell the guest whether its doorbell is enabled. Create two new device models ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, and deprecate the old one. Changes from ivshmem: * PCI revision is 1 instead of 0. The new revision is fully backwards compatible for guests. Guests may elect to require at least revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny "no shared memory, yet" state. * Property "role" replaced by "master". role=master becomes master=on, role=peer becomes master=off. Default is off instead of auto. * Property "use64" is gone. The new devices always have 64 bit BARs. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-plain: * The Interrupt Pin register in PCI config space is zero (does not use an interrupt pin) instead of one (uses INTA). * Property "x-memdev" is renamed to "memdev". * Properties "shm" and "size" are gone. Use property "memdev" instead. * Property "msi" is gone. The new device can't have MSI-X capability. It can't interrupt anyway. * Properties "ioeventfd" and "vectors" are gone. They're meaningless without interrupts anyway. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell: * Property "msi" is gone. The new device always has MSI-X capability. * Property "ioeventfd" defaults to on instead of off. * Property "size" is gone. The new device can only map all the shared memory received from the server. Guests can easily find out whether the device is configured for interrupts by checking for MSI-X capability.

2016-03-18qapi: Allow anonymous base for flat unionEric Blake
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.

Although we don't want to repeat the entire BlockdevOptions QMP command in the example, it helps if we aren't needlessly diverging (the initial example was written before we had committed the actual QMP interface).

For the simple union example, invent BlockdevOptionsSimple so that later text is unambiguous which of the two union forms is meant (telling the user to refer back to two 'BlockdevOptions' wasn't nice, and QMP has only the flat union form). Also, mention that the discriminator of a flat union is non-optional.

2016-03-18qapi: Adjust names of implicit typesEric Blake
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.

2016-03-15icount: decouple warp callsPavel Dovgalyuk
qemu_clock_warp function is called to update virtual clock when CPU is sleeping. This function includes replay checkpoint to make execution deterministic in icount mode. Record/replay module flushes async event queue at checkpoints. Some of the events (e.g., block devices operations) include interaction with hardware. E.g., APIC polled by block devices sets one of IRQ flags. Flag to be set depends on currently executed thread (CPU or iothread). Therefore in replay mode we have to process the checkpoints in the same thread as they were recorded. qemu_clock_warp function (and its checkpoint) may be called from different thread. This patch decouples two different execution cases of this function: call when CPU is sleeping from iothread and call from cpu thread to update virtual clock. First task is performed by qemu_start_warp_timer function. It sets warp timer event to the moment of nearest pending virtual timer. Second function (qemu_account_warp_timer) is called from cpu thread before execution of the code. It advances virtual clock by adding the length of period while CPU was sleeping.

2016-03-05qapi: Update docs to match recent generator changesEric Blake
Several commits have been changing the generator, but not updating the docs to match: - The implicit tag member is named "type", not "kind". Screwed up in commit 39a1815. - Commit 9f08c8ec made list types lazy, and thereby dropped UserDefOneList if nothing explicitly uses the list type. - Commit 51e72bc1 switched the parameter order with 'name' occurring earlier. - Commit e65d89bf changed the layout of UserDefOneList. - Prefer the term 'member' over 'field'. - We now expose visit_type_FOO_members() for objects. - etc. Rework the examples to show slightly more output (we don't want to show too much; that's what the testsuite is for), and regenerate the output to match all recent changes. Also, rearrange output to show .h files before .c (understanding the interface first often makes the implementation easier to follow).

The new feature for qcow2: storing bitmaps. This patch adds new header extension to qcow2 - Bitmaps Extension. It provides an ability to store virtual disk related bitmaps in a qcow2 image. For now there is only one type of such bitmaps: Dirty Tracking Bitmap, which just tracks virtual disk changes from some moment. Note: Only bitmaps, relative to the virtual disk, stored in qcow2 file, should be stored in this qcow2 file. The size of each bitmap (considering its granularity) is equal to virtual disk size.
