docs: Provide separate conf.py for each manual we want By default Sphinx wants to build a single manual at once. For QEMU, this doesn't suit us, because we want to have separate manuals for "Developer's Guide", "User Manual", and so on, and we don't want to ship the Developer's Guide to end-users. However, we don't want to completely duplicate conf.py for each manual, and we'd like to continue to support "build all docs in one run" for third-party sites like readthedocs.org. Make the top-level conf.py support two usage forms: (1) as a common config file which is included by the conf.py for each of QEMU's manuals: in this case sphinx-build is run multiple times, once per subdirectory. (2) as a top level conf file which will result in building all the manuals into a single document: in this case sphinx-build is run once, on the top-level docs directory.

docs: Add a QEMU Code of Conduct and Conflict Resolution Policy document In an ideal world, we would all get along together very well, always be polite and never end up in huge conflicts. And even if there are conflicts, we would always handle each other fair and respectfully. Unfortunately, this is not an ideal world and sometimes people forget how to interact with each other in a professional and respectful way. Fortunately, this seldom happens in the QEMU community, but for such rare cases it is preferrable to have a basic code of conduct document available to show to people who are misbehaving. In case that does not help yet, we should also have a conflict resolution policy ready that can be applied in the worst case. The Code of Conduct document tries to be short and to the point while trying to remain friendly and welcoming; it is based on the Fedora Code of Conduct[1] with extra detail added based on the Contributor Covenant 1.3.0[2]. Other proposals included the Contributor Covenant 1.3.0 itself or the Django Code of Conduct[3] (which is also a derivative of Fedora's) but, in any case, there was agreement on keeping the conflict resolution policy separate from the CoC itself. An important point is whether to apply the code of conduct to violations that occur outside public spaces. The text herein restricts that to individuals acting as a representative or a member of the project or its community. This is intermediate between the Contributor Covenant (which only mentions representatives of the community, for example using an official project e-mail address or posting via an official social media account), and the Django Code of Conduct, which says that violations of this code outside these spaces "may" be considered but otherwise applies no limit. The conflict resolution policy is based on the Drupal Conflict Resolution Policy[4] and its derivative, the Mozilla Consequence Ladder[5].

docs: add Secure Coding Practices to developer docs At KVM Forum 2018 I gave a presentation on security in QEMU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAdRf_hwxU8 (video) https://vmsplice.net/~stefan/stefanha-kvm-forum-2018.pdf (slides) This patch adds a guide to secure coding practices. This document covers things that developers should know about security in QEMU. It is just a starting point that we can expand on later. I hope it will be useful as a resource for new contributors and will save code reviewers from explaining the same concepts many times.

scripts: add block-coroutine-wrapper.py We have a very frequent pattern of creating a coroutine from a function with several arguments: - create a structure to pack parameters - create _entry function to call original function taking parameters from struct - do different magic to handle completion: set ret to NOT_DONE or EINPROGRESS or use separate bool field - fill the struct and create coroutine from _entry function with this struct as a parameter - do coroutine enter and BDRV_POLL_WHILE loop Let's reduce code duplication by generating coroutine wrappers. This patch adds scripts/block-coroutine-wrapper.py together with some friends, which will generate functions with declared prototypes marked by the 'generated_co_wrapper' specifier. The usage of new code generation is as follows: 1. define the coroutine function somewhere int coroutine_fn bdrv_co_NAME(...) {...} 2. declare in some header file int generated_co_wrapper bdrv_NAME(...); with same list of parameters (generated_co_wrapper is defined in "include/block/block.h"). 3. Make sure the block_gen_c declaration in block/meson.build mentions the file with your marker function. Still, no function is now marked, this work is for the following commit.
