23c02ace35 docs: generate qemu-storage-daemon-qmp-ref(7) man page
Although individual qemu-storage-daemon QMP commands are identical to
QEMU QMP commands, qemu-storage-daemon only supports a subset of QEMU's
QMP commands. Generate a manual page of just the commands supported by
qemu-storage-daemon so that users know exactly what is available in
qemu-storage-daemon.

Add an h1 heading in storage-daemon/qapi/qapi-schema.json so that
block-core.json is at the h2 heading level.

3009edff81 vhost-user: fix VHOST_USER_ADD/REM_MEM_REG truncation
QEMU currently truncates the mmap_offset field when sending
VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG and VHOST_USER_REM_MEM_REG messages. The struct
layout looks like this:

  typedef struct VhostUserMemoryRegion {
      uint64_t guest_phys_addr;
      uint64_t memory_size;
      uint64_t userspace_addr;
      uint64_t mmap_offset;
  } VhostUserMemoryRegion;

  typedef struct VhostUserMemRegMsg {
      uint32_t padding;
      /* WARNING: there is a 32-bit hole here! */
      VhostUserMemoryRegion region;
  } VhostUserMemRegMsg;

The payload size is calculated as follows when sending the message in
hw/virtio/vhost-user.c:

  msg->hdr.size = sizeof(msg->payload.mem_reg.padding) +
      sizeof(VhostUserMemoryRegion);

This calculation produces an incorrect result of only 36 bytes.
sizeof(VhostUserMemRegMsg) is actually 40 bytes.

The consequence of this is that the final field, mmap_offset, is
truncated. This breaks x86_64 TCG guests on s390 hosts. Other guest/host
combinations may get lucky if either of the following holds:
1. The guest memory layout does not need mmap_offset != 0.
2. The host is little-endian and mmap_offset <= 0xffffffff so the
   truncation has no effect.

Fix this by extending the existing 32-bit padding field to 64-bit. Now
the padding reflects the actual compiler padding. This can be verified
using pahole(1).

Also document the layout properly in the vhost-user specification.  The
vhost-user spec did not document the exact layout. It would be
impossible to implement the spec without looking at the QEMU source
code.

Existing vhost-user frontends and device backends continue to work after
this fix has been applied. The only change in the wire protocol is that
QEMU now sets hdr.size to 40 instead of 36. If a vhost-user
implementation has a hardcoded size check for 36 bytes, then it will
fail with new QEMUs. Both QEMU and DPDK/SPDK don't check the exact
payload size, so they continue to work.

71719cd57f nbd: Add new qemu:allocation-depth metadata context
'qemu-img map' provides a way to determine which extents of an image
come from the top layer vs. inherited from a backing chain.  This is
useful information worth exposing over NBD.  There is a proposal to
add a QMP command block-dirty-bitmap-populate which can create a dirty
bitmap that reflects allocation information, at which point the
qemu:dirty-bitmap:NAME metadata context can expose that information
via the creation of a temporary bitmap, but we can shorten the effort
by adding a new qemu:allocation-depth metadata context that does the
same thing without an intermediate bitmap (this patch does not
eliminate the need for that proposal, as it will have other uses as
well).

While documenting things, remember that although the NBD protocol has
NBD_OPT_SET_META_CONTEXT, the rest of its documentation refers to
'metadata context', which is a more apt description of what is
actually being used by NBD_CMD_BLOCK_STATUS: the user is requesting
metadata by passing one or more context names.  So I also touched up
some existing wording to prefer the term 'metadata context' where it
makes sense.

Note that this patch does not actually enable any way to request a
server to enable this context; that will come in the next patch.

4ac2ee194b docs/interop: Convert qemu-qmp-ref to rST
Convert qemu-qmp-ref to rST format. This includes dropping
the plain-text, pdf and info format outputs for this document;
as with all our other Sphinx-based documentation, we provide
HTML and manpage only.

The qemu-qmp-ref.rst is somewhat more stripped down than
the .texi was, because we do not (currently) attempt to
generate indexes for the commands, events and data types
being documented.

Again, we drop the direct link from index.html.in now that
the QMP ref is part of the interop manual.

This commit removes the code from the root meson.build file that
handled the various Texinfo-based outputs, because we no longer
generate any documentation except for the Sphinx HTML manuals and the
manpages, and the code can't handle having an empty list of files
to process.. We'll do further cleanup of the remainders of
Texinfo support in subsequent commits.

f7160f3218 schemas: Add vim modeline
The various schemas included in QEMU use a JSON-based format which
is, however, strictly speaking not valid JSON.

As a consequence, when vim tries to apply syntax highlight rules
for JSON (as guessed from the file name), the result is an unreadable
mess which mostly consist of red markers pointing out supposed errors
in, well, pretty much everything.

Using Python syntax highlighting produces much better results, and
in fact these files already start with specially-formatted comments
that instruct Emacs to process them as if they were Python files.

This commit adds the equivalent special comments for vim.

27598393a2 Lift max memory slots limit imposed by vhost-user
Historically, sending all memory regions to vhost-user backends in a
single message imposed a limitation on the number of times memory
could be hot-added to a VM with a vhost-user device. Now that backends
which support the VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIGURE_SLOTS send memory
regions individually, we no longer need to impose this limitation on
devices which support this feature.

With this change, VMs with a vhost-user device which supports the
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIGURE_MEM_SLOTS can support a configurable
number of memory slots, up to the maximum allowed by the target
platform.

Existing backends which do not support
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIGURE_MEM_SLOTS are unaffected.

f1aeb14b08 Transmit vhost-user memory regions individually
With this change, when the VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIGURE_MEM_SLOTS
protocol feature has been negotiated, Qemu no longer sends the backend
all the memory regions in a single message. Rather, when the memory
tables are set or updated, a series of VHOST_USER_ADD_MEM_REG and
VHOST_USER_REM_MEM_REG messages are sent to transmit the regions to map
and/or unmap instead of sending send all the regions in one fixed size
VHOST_USER_SET_MEM_TABLE message.

The vhost_user struct maintains a shadow state of the VM’s memory
regions. When the memory tables are modified, the
vhost_user_set_mem_table() function compares the new device memory state
to the shadow state and only sends regions which need to be unmapped or
mapped in. The regions which must be unmapped are sent first, followed
by the new regions to be mapped in. After all the messages have been
sent, the shadow state is set to the current virtual device state.

Existing backends which do not support
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_CONFIGURE_MEM_SLOTS are unaffected.

At this point, the value returned by the backend will be capped at the
maximum number of ram slots which can be supported by vhost-user, which
is currently set to 8 because of underlying protocol limitations.

The returned value will be stored inside the VhostUserState struct so
that on device reconnect we can verify that the ram slot limitation
has not decreased since the last time the device connected.

d298ac10ad qcow2: add zstd cluster compression
zstd significantly reduces cluster compression time.
It provides better compression performance maintaining
the same level of the compression ratio in comparison with
zlib, which, at the moment, is the only compression
method available.

The performance test results:
Test compresses and decompresses qemu qcow2 image with just
installed rhel-7.6 guest.
Image cluster size: 64K. Image on disk size: 2.2G

The test was conducted with brd disk to reduce the influence
of disk subsystem to the test results.
The results is given in seconds.

compress cmd:
  time ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -c -o compression_type=[zlib|zstd]
                  src.img [zlib|zstd]_compressed.img

880a7817c1 misc: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible array member (manual)
Description copied from Linux kernel commit from Gustavo A. R. Silva
(see [3]):

--v-- description start --v--

  The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
  extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to
  declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible
  array member [1], introduced in C99:

  struct foo {
      int stuff;
      struct boo array[];
  };

  By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler
  warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the
  structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined
  behavior bugs from being unadvertenly introduced [2] to the
  Linux codebase from now on.

--^-- description end --^--

Do the similar housekeeping in the QEMU codebase (which uses
C99 since commit 7be41675f7).

All these instances of code were found with the help of the
following command (then manual analysis, without modifying
structures only having a single flexible array member, such
QEDTable in block/qed.h):

3348e7e34f docs: vhost-user: add in-band kick/call messages
For good reason, vhost-user is currently built asynchronously, that
way better performance can be obtained. However, for certain use
cases such as simulation, this is problematic.

Consider an event-based simulation in which both the device and CPU
have scheduled according to a simulation "calendar". Now, consider
the CPU sending I/O to the device, over a vring in the vhost-user
protocol. In this case, the CPU must wait for the vring interrupt
to have been processed by the device, so that the device is able to
put an entry onto the simulation calendar to obtain time to handle
the interrupt. Note that this doesn't mean the I/O is actually done
at this time, it just means that the handling of it is scheduled
before the CPU can continue running.

This cannot be done with the asynchronous eventfd based vring kick
and call design.

Extend the protocol slightly, so that a message can be used for kick
and call instead, if VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_INBAND_NOTIFICATIONS is
negotiated. This in itself doesn't guarantee synchronisation, but both
sides can also negotiate VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_REPLY_ACK and thus get
a reply to this message by setting the need_reply flag, and ensure
synchronisation this way.

To really use it in both directions, VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_SLAVE_REQ
is also needed.

Since it is used for simulation purposes and too many messages on
the socket can lock up the virtual machine, document that this should
only be used together with the mentioned features.

bb43ee6c4f docs: Move qemu-option-trace.rst.inc to docs/
The qemu-option-trace.rst.inc file contains a rST documentation
fragment which describes trace options common to qemu-nbd and
qemu-img.  We put this file into interop/, but we'd like to move the
qemu-nbd and qemu-img files into the tools/ manual.  We could move
the .rst.inc file along with them, but we're eventually going to want
to use it for the main QEMU binary options documentation too, and
that will be in system/.  So move qemu-option-trace.rst.inc to the
top-level docs/ directory, where all these files can include it via

   .. include:: ../qemu-option-trace.rst.inc

This does have the slight downside that we now need to explicitly
tell Make which manuals use this file rather than relying on
a wildcard for all .rst.inc in the manual.

168468fe19 qemu-img: Add --target-is-zero to convert
In many cases the target of a convert operation is a newly provisioned
target that the user knows is blank (reads as zero). In this situation
there is no requirement for qemu-img to wastefully zero out the entire
device.

Add a new option, --target-is-zero, allowing the user to indicate that
an existing target device will return zeros for all reads.

3ae3fcfae5 docs: improve qcow2 spec about extending image header
Make it more obvious how to add new fields to the version 3 header and
how to interpret them.

The specification is adjusted so that for new defined optional fields:

1. Software may support some of these optional fields and ignore the
   others, which means that features may be backported to downstream
   Qemu independently.
2. If we want to add incompatible field (or a field, for which some of
   its values would be incompatible), it must be accompanied by
   incompatible feature bit.

Also the concept of "default is zero" is clarified, as it's strange to
say that the value of the field is assumed to be zero for the software
version which don't know about the field at all and don't know how to
treat it be it zero or not.

e13c59fa44 qemu-img: Convert invocation documentation to rST
The qemu-img documentation is currently in qemu-nbd.texi in Texinfo
format, which we present to the user as:
 * a qemu-img manpage
 * a section of the main qemu-doc HTML documentation

Convert the documentation to rST format, and present it to the user as:
 * a qemu-img manpage
 * part of the interop/ Sphinx manual

The qemu-img rST document uses the new hxtool extension
to handle pulling rST fragments out of qemu-img-cmds.hx.

The documentation of the various options and commands is rather
muddled, with some options being described inside the relevant
command description and some in a more general section near the start
of the manual.  All the command synopses are replicated in the .hx
file and then again in the manual.  A lot of text is also duplicated
in the qemu-img.c code for the help text.  I have not attempted to
deal with any of this, but have simply transposed the existing
structure into rST.

As usual, there are some minor formatting changes but no
textual changes, except that as with one or two other conversions
I have dropped the 'see also' section since it's not very
informative and looks odd in the HTML.

87c0868f46 qemu-nbd: Convert invocation documentation to rST
The qemu-nbd documentation is currently in qemu-nbd.texi in Texinfo
format, which we present to the user as:
 * a qemu-nbd manpage
 * a section of the main qemu-doc HTML documentation

Convert the documentation to rST format, and present it to the user as:
 * a qemu-nbd manpage
 * part of the interop/ Sphinx manual

This follows the same pattern as commit 27a296fce9 did for the
qemu-ga manpage.

All the content of the old manpage is retained, except that I have
dropped the "This is free software; see the source for copying
conditions.  There is NO warranty..." text that was in the old AUTHOR
section; Sphinx's manpage builder doesn't expect that much text in
the AUTHOR section, and since none of our other manpages have it it
seems easiest to delete it rather than try to figure out where else
in the manpage to put it.

The only other textual change is that I have had to give the
--nocache option its own description ("Equivalent to --cache=none")
because Sphinx doesn't have an equivalent of using item/itemx
to share a description between two options.

Some minor aspects of the formatting have changed, to suit what is
easiest for Sphinx to output. (The most notable is that Sphinx
option section option syntax doesn't support '--option foo=bar'
with bar underlined rather than bold, so we have to switch to
'--option foo=BAR' instead.)

The contents of qemu-option-trace.texi are now duplicated in
docs/interop/qemu-option-trace.rst.inc, until such time as we complete
the conversion of the other files which use it; since it has had only
3 changes in 3 years, this shouldn't be too awkward a burden.
(We use .rst.inc because if this file fragment has a .rst extension
then Sphinx complains about not seeing it in a toctree.)

0a4795455c nbd: Prepare for NBD_CMD_FLAG_FAST_ZERO
Commit fe0480d6 and friends added BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK as a way to
avoid wasting time on a preliminary write-zero request that will later
be rewritten by actual data, if it is known that the write-zero
request will use a slow fallback; but in doing so, could not optimize
for NBD.  The NBD specification is now considering an extension that
will allow passing on those semantics; this patch updates the new
protocol bits and 'qemu-nbd --list' output to recognize the bit, as
well as the new errno value possible when using the new flag; while
upcoming patches will improve the client to use the feature when
present, and the server to advertise support for it.

The NBD spec recommends (but not requires) that ENOTSUP be avoided for
all but failures of a fast zero (the only time it is mandatory to
avoid an ENOTSUP failure is when fast zero is supported but not
requested during write zeroes; the questionable use is for ENOTSUP to
other actions like a normal write request).  However, clients that get
an unexpected ENOTSUP will either already be treating it the same as
EINVAL, or may appreciate the extra bit of information.  We were
equally loose for returning EOVERFLOW in more situations than
recommended by the spec, so if it turns out to be a problem in
practice, a later patch can tighten handling for both error codes.

61cc872456 nbd: Advertise multi-conn for shared read-only connections
The NBD specification defines NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, which can be
advertised when the server promises cache consistency between
simultaneous clients (basically, rules that determine what FUA and
flush from one client are able to guarantee for reads from another
client).  When we don't permit simultaneous clients (such as qemu-nbd
without -e), the bit makes no sense; and for writable images, we
probably have a lot more work before we can declare that actions from
one client are cache-consistent with actions from another.  But for
read-only images, where flush isn't changing any data, we might as
well advertise multi-conn support.  What's more, advertisement of the
bit makes it easier for clients to determine if 'qemu-nbd -e' was in
use, where a second connection will succeed rather than hang until the
first client goes away.

This patch affects qemu as server in advertising the bit.  We may want
to consider patches to qemu as client to attempt parallel connections
for higher throughput by spreading the load over those connections
when a server advertises multi-conn, but for now sticking to one
connection per nbd:// BDS is okay.

df98d7ccc2 docs: clarify multiqueue vs multiple virtqueues
The vhost-user specification does not explain when
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ must be implemented.  This may lead
implementors of vhost-user masters to believe that this protocol feature
is required for any device that has multiple virtqueues.  That would be
a mistake since existing vhost-user slaves offer multiple virtqueues but
do not advertise VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ.

For example, a vhost-net device with one rx/tx queue pair is not
multiqueue.  The slave does not need to advertise
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ.  Therefore the master must assume it has these
virtqueues and cannot rely on askingt the slave how many virtqueues
exist.

Extend the specification to explain the different between true
multiqueue and regular devices with a fixed virtqueue layout.

a7786bfb0e docs/bitmaps: use QMP lexer instead of json
The annotated style json we use in QMP documentation is not strict json
and depending on the version of Sphinx (2.0+) or Pygments installed,
might cause the build to fail.

Use the new QMP lexer.

Further, some versions of Sphinx can not apply custom lexers to "code"
directives and require the use of "code-block" directives instead, so
make that change at this time as well.

Tested under:
- Sphinx 1.3.6 and Pygments 2.4
- Sphinx 1.7.6 and Pygments 2.2 (Fedora 29 packages)
- Sphinx 2.0.1 and Pygments 2.4
- Sphinx 3.0.0+/f396b3a783 and Pygments 2.4 (From Sphinx git c4f44bdd)

3ef4dff2b3 docs: avoid vhost-user-net specifics in multiqueue section
The "Multiple queue support" section makes references to vhost-user-net
"queue pairs".  This is confusing for two reasons:
1. This actually applies to all device types, not just vhost-user-net.
2. VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM returns the number of virtqueues, not the
   number of queue pairs.

Reword the section so that the vhost-user-net specific part is relegated
to the very end: we acknowledge that vhost-user-net historically
automatically enabled the first queue pair.

bd2e44fee4 vhost-user: add vhost_user_gpu_set_socket()
Add a new vhost-user message to give a unix socket to a vhost-user
backend for GPU display updates.

Back when I started that work, I added a new GPU channel because the
vhost-user protocol wasn't bidirectional. Since then, there is a
vhost-user-slave channel for the slave to send requests to the master.
We could extend it with GPU messages. However, the GPU protocol is
quite orthogonal to vhost-user, thus I chose to have a new dedicated
channel.

See vhost-user-gpu.rst for the protocol details.

5ad204bf2a vhost-user: Support transferring inflight buffer between qemu and backend
This patch introduces two new messages VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD
and VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD to support transferring a shared
buffer between qemu and backend.

Firstly, qemu uses VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD to get the
shared buffer from backend. Then qemu should send it back
through VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD each time we start vhost-user.

This shared buffer is used to track inflight I/O by backend.
Qemu should retrieve a new one when vm reset.

f8cf7147f1 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.

Provide per-manual conf.py files and top level pages for
our first two manuals:
 * QEMU Developer's Guide (docs/devel)
 * QEMU System Emulation Management and Interoperability Guide
   (docs/interop)

ba2d3b3ab2 nbd: Document timeline of various features
It can be useful to figure out which NBD protocol features are
exposed by a server, as well as what features a client will
take advantage of if available, for a given qemu release.  It's
not always precise to base features on version numbers (thanks
to downstream backports), but any documentation is better than
making users search through git logs themselves.

This patch originally stemmed from a request to document that
pristine 3.0 has a known bug where NBD_OPT_LIST_META_CONTEXT
with 0 queries forgot to advertise an available
"qemu:dirty-bitmap" context, but documenting bugs like this (or
the fact that 3.0 also botched NBD_CMD_CACHE) gets to be too
much details, especially since buggy releases will be less
likely connection targets over time.  Instead, I chose to just
remind users to check stable release branches.

9ab84470ff monitor: Suspend monitor instead dropping commands
When a QMP client sends in-band commands more quickly that we can
process them, we can either queue them without limit (QUEUE), drop
commands when the queue is full (DROP), or suspend receiving commands
when the queue is full (SUSPEND).  None of them is ideal:

* QUEUE lets a misbehaving client make QEMU eat memory without bounds.
Not such a hot idea.

* With DROP, the client has to cope with dropped in-band commands.  To
inform the client, we send a COMMAND_DROPPED event then.  The event is
flawed by design in two ways: it's ambiguous (see commit d621cfe0a1),
and it brings back the "eat memory without bounds" problem.

* With SUSPEND, the client has to manage the flow of in-band commands to
keep the monitor available for out-of-band commands.

We currently DROP.  Switch to SUSPEND.

Managing the flow of in-band commands to keep the monitor available for
out-of-band commands isn't really hard: just count the number of
"outstanding" in-band commands (commands sent minus replies received),
and if it exceeds the limit, hold back additional ones until it drops
below the limit again.

Note that we need to be careful pairing the suspend with a resume, or
else the monitor will hang, possibly forever.  And here since we need to
make sure both:

     (1) popping request from the req queue, and
     (2) reading length of the req queue

will be in the same critical section, we let the pop function take the
corresponding queue lock when there is a request, then we release the
lock from the caller.

d3e1a7eb4c qcow2: Document some maximum size constraints
Although off_t permits up to 63 bits (8EB) of file offsets, in
practice, we're going to hit other limits first.  Document some
of those limits in the qcow2 spec (some are inherent, others are
implementation choices of qemu), and how choice of cluster size
can influence some of the limits.

While we cannot map any uncompressed virtual cluster to any
address higher than 64 PB (56 bits) (due to the current L1/L2
field encoding stopping at bit 55), qemu's cap of 8M for the
refcount table can still access larger host addresses for some
combinations of large clusters and small refcount_order.  For
comparison, ext4 with 4k blocks caps files at 16PB.

Another interesting limit: for compressed clusters, the L2 layout
requires an ever-smaller maximum host offset as cluster size gets
larger, down to a 512 TB maximum with 2M clusters.  In particular,
note that with a cluster size of 8k or smaller, the L2 entry for
a compressed cluster could technically point beyond the 64PB mark,
but when you consider that with 8k clusters and refcount_order = 0,
you cannot access beyond 512T without exceeding qemu's limit of an
8M cap on the refcount table, it is unlikely that any image in the
wild has attempted to do so.  To be safe, let's document that bits
beyond 55 in a compressed cluster must be 0.

72e9e569d0 docs/interop/qmp-spec: How to force known good parser state
Section "QGA Synchronization" specifies that sending "a raw 0xFF
sentinel byte" makes the server "reset its state and discard all
pending data prior to the sentinel."  What actually happens there is a
lexical error, which will produce one or more error responses.
Moreover, it's not specific to QGA.

Create new section "Forcing the JSON parser into known-good state" to
document the technique properly.  Rewrite section "QGA
Synchronization" to document just the other direction, i.e. command
guest-sync-delimited.

Section "Protocol Specification" mentions "synchronization bytes
(documented below)".  Delete that.

While there, fix it not to claim '"Server" is QEMU itself', but
'"Server" is either QEMU or the QEMU Guest Agent'.

00ecec151d qmp: Redo how the client requests out-of-band execution
Commit cf869d5317 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" added a
general mechanism for command-independent arguments just for an
out-of-band flag:

    The "control" key is introduced to store this extra flag.  "control"
    field is used to store arguments that are shared by all the commands,
    rather than command specific arguments.  Let "run-oob" be the first.

However, it failed to reject unknown members of "control".  For
instance, in QMP command

    {"execute": "query-name", "id": 42, "control": {"crap": true}}

"crap" gets silently ignored.

Instead of fixing this, revert the general "control" mechanism
(because YAGNI), and do it the way I initially proposed, with key
"exec-oob".  Simpler code, simpler interface.

An out-of-band command

    {"execute": "migrate-pause", "id": 42, "control": {"run-oob": true}}

becomes

    {"exec-oob": "migrate-pause", "id": 42}

80cd93bd96 qmp: Make "id" optional again even in "oob" monitors
Commit cf869d5317 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" made
"id" mandatory for all commands when the client accepted capability
"oob".  This is rather onerous when you play with QMP by hand, and
unnecessarily so: only out-of-band commands need an ID for reliable
matching of response to command.

Revert that part of commit cf869d5317 for now, but have documentation
advise on the need to use "id" with out-of-band commands.

9bb3801994 vhost+postcopy: Send address back to qemu
We need a better way, but at the moment we need the address of the
mappings sent back to qemu so it can interpret the messages on the
userfaultfd it reads.

This is done as a 3 stage set:
   QEMU -> client
      set_mem_table

   mmap stuff, get addresses

   client -> qemu
       here are the addresses

   qemu -> client
       OK - now you can use them

That ensures that qemu has registered the new addresses in it's
userfault code before the client starts accessing them.

Note: We don't ask for the default 'ack' reply since we've got our own.

eb815e248f qapi: Move qapi-schema.json to qapi/, rename generated files
Move qapi-schema.json to qapi/, so it's next to its modules, and all
files get generated to qapi/, not just the ones generated for modules.

Consistently name the generated files qapi-MODULE.EXT:
qmp-commands.[ch] become qapi-commands.[ch], qapi-event.[ch] become
qapi-events.[ch], and qmp-introspect.[ch] become qapi-introspect.[ch].
This gets rid of the temporary hacks in scripts/qapi/commands.py,
scripts/qapi/events.py, and scripts/qapi/common.py.

156b46ded3 specs/qcow2: Fix documentation of the compressed cluster descriptor
This patch fixes several mistakes in the documentation of the
compressed cluster descriptor:

1) the documentation claims that the cluster descriptor contains the
   number of sectors used to store the compressed data, but what it
   actually contains is the number of sectors *minus one* or, in other
   words, the number of additional sectors after the first one.

2) the width of the fields is incorrectly specified. The number of bits
   used by each field is

      x = 62 - (cluster_bits - 8)   for the offset field
      y = (cluster_bits - 8)        for the size field

   So the offset field's location is [0, x-1], not [0, x] as stated.

3) the size field does not contain the size of the compressed data,
   but rather the number of sectors where that data is stored. The
   compressed data starts at the exact point specified in the offset
   field and ends when there's enough data to produce a cluster of
   decompressed data. Both points can be in the middle of a sector,
   allowing several compressed clusters to be stored next to one
   another, sharing sectors if necessary.
