The single backtick markup in ReST is the "default role". Currently,
Sphinx's default role is called "content". Sphinx suggests you can use
the "Any" role instead to turn any single-backtick enclosed item into a
cross-reference.
This is useful for things like autodoc for Python docstrings, where it's
often nicer to reference other types with `foo` instead of the more
laborious :py:meth:`foo`. It's also useful in multi-domain cases to
easily reference definitions from other Sphinx domains, such as
referencing C code definitions from outside of kerneldoc comments.
Before we do that, though, we'll need to turn all existing usages of the
"content" role to inline verbatim markup wherever it does not correctly
resolve into a cross-refernece by using double backticks instead.

New option parameters unstable-input and unstable-output set policy
for unstable interfaces just like deprecated-input and
deprecated-output set policy for deprecated interfaces (see commit
6dd75472d5 "qemu-options: New -compat to set policy for deprecated
interfaces"). This is intended for testing users of the management
interfaces. It is experimental.
For now, this covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged
with feature 'unstable'. We may want to extend it to cover semantic
aspects, or the command line.
Note that there is no good way for management application to detect
presence of these new option parameters: they are not visible output
of query-qmp-schema or query-command-line-options. Tolerable, because
it's meant for testing. If running with -compat fails, skip the test.

There is one numa config example in qemu-options.hx currently
using "-smp 2" and assuming that there will be 2 sockets and
2 cpus totally. However now the actual calculation logic of
missing sockets and cores is not immutable and is considered
liable to change. Although we will get maxcpus=2 finally based
on current parser, it's always stable to specify it explicitly.
So "-smp 2,sockets=2,maxcpus=2" will be optimal when we expect
multiple sockets and 2 cpus totally.

In the real SMP hardware topology world, it's much more likely that
we have high cores-per-socket counts and few sockets totally. While
the current preference of sockets over cores in smp parsing results
in a virtual cpu topology with low cores-per-sockets counts and a
large number of sockets, which is just contrary to the real world.
Given that it is better to make the virtual cpu topology be more
reflective of the real world and also for the sake of compatibility,
we start to prefer cores over sockets over threads in smp parsing
since machine type 6.2 for different arches.
In this patch, a boolean "smp_prefer_sockets" is added, and we only
enable the old preference on older machines and enable the new one
since type 6.2 for all arches by using the machine compat mechanism.

Currently we directly calculate the omitted cpus based on the given
incomplete collection of parameters. This makes some cmdlines like:
-smp maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,dies=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16
not work. We should probably set the value of cpus to match maxcpus
if it's omitted, which will make above configs start to work.
So the calculation logic of cpus/maxcpus after this patch will be:
When both maxcpus and cpus are omitted, maxcpus will be calculated
from the given parameters and cpus will be set equal to maxcpus.
When only one of maxcpus and cpus is given then the omitted one
will be set to its counterpart's value. Both maxcpus and cpus may
be specified, but maxcpus must be equal to or greater than cpus.
Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines
but allows more incomplete configs to be valid.

The users shouldn't provide a configuration with any parameter

Because SGX EPC is enumerated through CPUID, EPC "devices" need to be
realized prior to realizing the vCPUs themselves, i.e. long before
generic devices are parsed and realized. From a virtualization
perspective, the CPUID aspect also means that EPC sections cannot be
hotplugged without paravirtualizing the guest kernel (hardware does
not support hotplugging as EPC sections must be locked down during
pre-boot to provide EPC's security properties).
So even though EPC sections could be realized through the generic
-devices command, they need to be created much earlier for them to
actually be usable by the guest. Place all EPC sections in a
contiguous block, somewhat arbitrarily starting after RAM above 4g.
Ensuring EPC is in a contiguous region simplifies calculations, e.g.
device memory base, PCI hole, etc..., allows dynamic calculation of the
total EPC size, e.g. exposing EPC to guests does not require -maxmem,
and last but not least allows all of EPC to be enumerated in a single
ACPI entry, which is expected by some kernels, e.g. Windows 7 and 8.
The new compound properties command for sgx like below:
......
-object memory-backend-epc,id=mem1,size=28M,prealloc=on \
-object memory-backend-epc,id=mem2,size=10M \

The alt_grab and ctrl_grab parameter of the -display sdl option prevent
the QAPIfication of the "sdl" part of the -display option, so we should
eventually remove them. And since this feature is also rather niche anyway,
we should not clutter the top-level option list with these, so let's
also deprecate the "-alt-grab" and the "-ctrl-grab" options while we're
at it.
Once the deprecation period of "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab" is over, we
then can finally switch the -display sdl option to use QAPI internally,
too.

The -display sdl option is not using QAPI internally yet, and uses hand-
crafted parsing instead (see parse_display() in vl.c), which is quite
ugly, since most of the other code is using the QAPIfied DisplayOption
already. Unfortunately, the "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab" use underscores in
their names which has recently been forbidden in new QAPI code, so
a straight conversion is not possible. While we could add some exceptions
to the QAPI schema parser for this, the way these parameters have been
designed was maybe a bad idea anyway: First, it's not possible to enable
both parameters at the same time, thus instead of two boolean parameters
it would be better to have only one multi-choice parameter instead.
Second, the naming is also somewhat unfortunate since the "alt_grab"
parameter is not about the ALT key, but rather about the left SHIFT key
that has to be used additionally when the parameter is enabled.
So instead of trying to QAPIfy "alt_grab" and "ctrl_grab", let's rather
introduce an alternative to these parameters instead, a new parameter
called "grab-mod" which can either be set to "lshift-lctrl-lalt" or to
"rctrl". In case we ever want to support additional modes later, we can
then also simply extend the list of supported strings here.

This allows passing plugin arguments directly e.g:

For now, passing arguments through "arg=" is still supports but outputs

Also, this commit makes boolean arguments passed to plugins in the

When there are in queue a number of requests equal to `aio-max-batch`,

This parameter allows us to control the maximum batch size to reduce
the latency that requests might accumulate while queued in the AIO

If `aio-max-batch` is equal to 0 (default value), the AIO engine will

OS limits are inappropriate for QEMU docs. There are way too many
machine types for it to be practical to mention actual limits, and
some limits are even modified by downstream distribtions. Thus it
is better to remove the specific limits entirely.

Type 41 defines the attributes of devices that are onboard. The
original intent was to imply the BIOS had some level of control over
the enablement of the associated devices.
If network devices are present in this table, by default, udev will
name the corresponding interfaces enoX, X being the instance number.
Without such information, udev will fallback to using the PCI ID and
this usually gives ens3 or ens4. This can be a bit annoying as the
name of the network card may depend on the order of options and may
change if a new PCI device is added earlier on the commande line.
Being able to provide SMBIOS type 41 entry ensure the name of the
interface won't change and helps the user guess the right name without
booting a first time.
This can be invoked with:
$QEMU -netdev user,id=internet
-device virtio-net-pci,mac=50:54:00:00:00:42,netdev=internet,id=internet-dev \
-smbios type=41,designation='Onboard LAN',instance=1,kind=ethernet,pcidev=internet-dev
The PCI segment is assumed to be 0. This should hold true for most
cases.

New option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated

management interfaces. It is experimental.
-compat deprecated-input=<input-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated input is received. Input policy can be "accept" (accept
silently), or "reject" (reject the request with an error).
-compat deprecated-output=<out-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated output is sent. Output policy can be "accept" (pass on
unchanged), or "hide" (filter out the deprecated parts).
Default is "accept". Policies other than "accept" are implemented
later in this series.
For now, -compat covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff

Note that there is no good way for management application to detect

inecure "password" option with -spice, so it can be deprecated.

Currently when using SPICE the "password" option provides the password
in plain text on the command line. This is insecure as it is visible
to all processes on the host. As an alternative, the password can be
provided separately via the monitor.
This introduces a "password-secret" option which lets the password be
provided up front.

--spice port=5901,password-secret=vncsec0

Currently when using VNC the "password" flag turns on password based
authentication. The actual password has to be provided separately via
the monitor.
This introduces a "password-secret" option which lets the password be
provided up front.

There are some more -usbdevice options that have never been mentioned
in the documentation. Now that we removed -usbdevice from the list
of deprecated features again, we should document them properly.
While we're at it, also sort them alphabetically.

The "delay" option was introduced as a way to enable Nagle's algorithm
with ",nodelay". Since the short form for boolean options has now been
deprecated, introduce a more properly named "nodelay" option. The "delay"
option remains as an undocumented option.
"delay" and "nodelay" are mutually exclusive. Because the check is
done at consumption time, the code also rejects them if one of the
two is specified via -set.

The functionality of -writeconfig is limited and the code
does not even try to detect cases where it prints incorrect
syntax (for example if values have a quote in them, since
qemu_config_parse does not support any kind of escaping)
so remove it.

The preferred syntax is to use "foo=on|off", rather than a bare
"foo" or "nofoo".
The on|off syntax has been supported since -vnc switched to use
QemuOpts in commit 4db14629c3

Add documentation for '-machine memory-backend' CLI option and
how to use it.
And document that x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id,
is considered to be stable to make sure it won't go away by accident.
x- was intended for unstable/iternal properties, and not supposed to
be stable option. However it's too late to rename (drop x-)
it as it would mean that users will have to mantain both
x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id (for QEMU 5.0-5.2) versions
and prefix-less for later versions.
