2762f04d50 target/ppc: fix signal delivery for ppc64abi32
We were incorrectly using the 64-bit AIX ABI instead of the 32-bit
SYSV ABI for setting NIP for the signal handler.

11bfdbdfc2 target/alpha: Tidy helper_fp_exc_raise_s
Remove a redundant masking of ignore.  Once that's gone it is
obvious that the system-mode inner test is redundant with the
outer test.  Move the fpcr_exc_enable masking up and tidy.

No functional change.

8009307031 target/alpha: Mask IOV exception with INV for user-only
The kernel masks the integer overflow exception with the
software invalid exception mask.  Include IOV in the set
of exception bits masked by fpcr_exc_enable.

Fixes the new float_convs test.

106e1319cc target/alpha: Fix SWCR_TRAP_ENABLE_MASK
The CONFIG_USER_ONLY adjustment blindly mashed the swcr
exception enable bits into the fpcr exception disable bits.

However, fpcr_exc_enable has already converted the exception
disable bits into the exception status bits in order to make
it easier to mask status bits at runtime.

Instead, merge the swcr enable bits with the fpcr before we
convert to status bits.

3748fef9b9 migration/postcopy: Recognise the recovery states as 'in_postcopy'
Various parts of the migration code do different things when they're
in postcopy mode; prior to this patch this has been 'postcopy-active'.
This patch extends 'in_postcopy' to include 'postcopy-paused' and
'postcopy-recover'.

In particular, when you set the max-postcopy-bandwidth parameter, this
only affects the current migration fd if we're 'in_postcopy';
this leads to a race in the postcopy recovery test where it increases
the speed from 4k/sec to unlimited, but that increase can get ignored
if the change is made between the point at which the reconnection
happens and it transitions back to active.

d46a4847ca migration/rdma.c: Swap synchronize_rcu for call_rcu
This fixes a deadlock that can occur on the migration source after
a failed RDMA migration;  as the source tries to cleanup it
clears a pair of pointers and uses synchronize_rcu to wait; this
is happening on the main thread.  With the CPUs running
a CPU thread can be an rcu reader and attempt to grab the main lock
(kvm_handle_io->address_space_write->flatview_write->flatview_write_continue->
prepare_mmio_access->qemu_mutex_lock_iothread_impl)

Replace the synchronize_rcu with a call_rcu to postpone the freeing.

1e7cf8c323 migration/postcopy: unsentmap is not necessary for postcopy
Commit f3f491fcd6 ('Postcopy: Maintain unsentmap') introduced
unsentmap to track not yet sent pages.

This is not necessary since:

    * unsentmap is a sub-set of bmap before postcopy start
    * unsentmap is the summation of bmap and unsentmap after canonicalizing

This patch just removes it.

8324ef86f0 migration/postcopy: not necessary to do discard when canonicalizing bitmap
All pages, either partially sent or partially dirty, will be discarded in
postcopy_send_discard_bm_ram(), since we update the unsentmap to be
unsentmap = unsentmap | dirty in ram_postcopy_send_discard_bitmap().

This is not necessary to do discard when canonicalizing bitmap. And by
doing so, we separate the page discard into two individual steps:

  * canonicalize bitmap
  * discard page

61bc846d8c nbd: Grab aio context lock in more places
When iothreads are in use, the failure to grab the aio context results
in an assertion failure when trying to unlock things during blk_unref,
when trying to unlock a mutex that was not locked.  In short, all
calls to nbd_export_put need to done while within the correct aio
context.  But since nbd_export_put can recursively reach itself via
nbd_export_close, and recursively grabbing the context would deadlock,
we can't do the context grab directly in those functions, but must do
so in their callers.

Hoist the use of the correct aio_context from nbd_export_new() to its
caller qmp_nbd_server_add().  Then tweak qmp_nbd_server_remove(),
nbd_eject_notifier(), and nbd_esport_close_all() to grab the right
context, so that all callers during qemu now own the context before
nbd_export_put() can call blk_unref().

Remaining uses in qemu-nbd don't matter (since that use case does not
support iothreads).

b4961249af nbd/server: attach client channel to the export's AioContext
On creation, the export's AioContext is set to the same one as the
BlockBackend, while the AioContext in the client QIOChannel is left
untouched.

As a result, when using data-plane, nbd_client_receive_next_request()
schedules coroutines in the IOThread AioContext, while the client's
QIOChannel is serviced from the main_loop, potentially triggering the
assertion at qio_channel_restart_[read|write].

To fix this, as soon we have the export corresponding to the client,
we call qio_channel_attach_aio_context() to attach the QIOChannel
context to the export's AioContext. This matches with the logic at
blk_aio_attached().

1b5c15cebd nbd/client: Add hint when TLS is missing
I received an off-list report of failure to connect to an NBD server
expecting an x509 certificate, when the client was attempting something
similar to this command line:

$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -name 'blah' -machine q35 -nodefaults \
  -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,endpoint=client,dir=$path_to_certs \
  -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtio_scsi_pci0,bus=pcie.0,addr=0x6 \
  -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=threads,cache=none,format=raw,file=nbd:localhost:9000,werror=stop,rerror=stop,tls-creds=tls0 \
  -device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1,bootindex=0
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=threads,cache=none,format=raw,file=nbd:localhost:9000,werror=stop,rerror=stop,tls-creds=tls0: TLS negotiation required before option 7 (go)
server reported: Option 0x7 not permitted before TLS

The problem?  As specified, -drive is trying to pass tls-creds to the
raw format driver instead of the nbd protocol driver, but before we
get to the point where we can detect that raw doesn't know what to do
with tls-creds, the nbd driver has already failed because the server
complained.  The fix to the broken command line?  Pass
'...,file.tls-creds=tls0' to ensure the tls-creds option is handed to
nbd, not raw.  But since the error message was rather cryptic, I'm
trying to improve the error message.

With this patch, the error message adds a line:

qemu-system-x86_64: -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=threads,cache=none,format=raw,file=nbd:localhost:9000,werror=stop,rerror=stop,tls-creds=tls0: TLS negotiation required before option 7 (go)
Did you forget a valid tls-creds?
server reported: Option 0x7 not permitted before TLS

And with luck, someone grepping for that error message will find this
commit message and figure out their command line mistake.  Sadly, the
only mention of file.tls-creds in our docs relates to an --image-opts
use of PSK encryption with qemu-img as the client, rather than x509
certificate encryption with qemu-kvm as the client.

f9d1743b9b qapi: Fix excessive QAPISchemaEntity.check() recursion
Entity checking goes back to commit ac88219a6c "qapi: New QAPISchema
intermediate representation", v2.5.0.  It's designed to work as
follows: QAPISchema.check() calls .check() for all the schema's
entities.  An entity's .check() recurses into another entity's
.check() only if the C struct generated for the former contains the C
struct generated for the latter (pointers don't count).  This is used
to detect "object contains itself".

There are two instances of this:

* An object's C struct contains its base's C struct

  QAPISchemaObjectType.check() calls self.base.check()

* An object's C struct contains its variants' C structs

  QAPISchemaObjectTypeVariants().check calls v.type.check().  Since
  commit b807a1e1e3 "qapi: Check for QAPI collisions involving variant
  members", v2.6.0.

Thus, only object types can participate in recursion.

QAPISchemaObjectType.check() is made for that: it checks @self when
called the first time, recursing into base and variants, it reports an
"contains itself" error when this recursion reaches an object being
checked, and does nothing it reaches an object that has been checked
already.

The other .check() may safely assume they get called exactly once.

Sadly, this design has since eroded:

* QAPISchemaCommand.check() and QAPISchemaEvent.check() call
  .args_type.check().  Since commit c818408e44 "qapi: Implement boxed
  types for commands/events", v2.7.0.  Harmless, since args_type can
  only be an object type.

* QAPISchemaEntity.check() calls ._ifcond.check() when inheriting the
  condition from another type.  Since commit 4fca21c1b0 qapi: leave
  the ifcond attribute undefined until check(), v3.0.0.  This makes
  simple union wrapper types recurse into the wrapped type (nothing
  else uses this condition inheritance).  The .check() of types used
  as simple union branch type get called multiple times.

* QAPISchemaObjectType.check() calls its super type's .check()
  *before* the conditional handling multiple calls.  Also since commit
  4fca21c1b0.  QAPISchemaObjectType.check()'s guard against multiple
  checking doesn't protect QAPISchemaEntity.check().

* QAPISchemaArrayType.check() calls .element_type.check().  Also since
  commit 4fca21c1b0.  The .check() of types used as array element
  types get called multiple times.

  Commit 56a4689582 "qapi: Fix array first used in a different module"
  (v4.0.0) added more code relying on this .element_type.check().

The absence of explosions suggests the .check() involved happen to be
effectively idempotent.

Fix the unwanted recursion anyway:

* QAPISchemaCommand.check() and QAPISchemaEvent.check() calling
  .args_type.check() is unnecessary.  Delete the calls.

* Fix QAPISchemaObjectType.check() to call its super type's .check()
  after the conditional handling multiple calls.

* A QAPISchemaEntity's .ifcond becomes valid at .check().  This is due
  to arrays and simple unions.

  Most types get ifcond and info passed to their constructor.

  Array types don't: they get it from their element type, which
  becomes known only in .element_type.check().

  The implicit wrapper object types for simple union branches don't:
  they get it from the wrapped type, which might be an array.

  Ditch the idea to set .ifcond in .check().  Instead, turn it into a
  property and compute it on demand.  Safe because it's only used
  after the schema has been checked.

  Most types simply return the ifcond passed to their constructor.

  Array types forward to their .element_type instead, and the wrapper
  types forward to the wrapped type.

* A QAPISchemaEntity's .module becomes valid at .check().  This is
  because computing it needs info and schema.fname, and because array
  types get it from their element type instead.

  Make it a property just like .ifcond.

Additionally, have QAPISchemaEntity.check() assert it gets called at
most once, so the design invariant will stick this time.  Neglecting
that was entirely my fault.

QAPISchemaObjectType.check() does nothing for types that have been

is harmless, but fix it anyway: use self.member is not None instead.

887a2069f7 qapi: Fix broken discriminator error messages
check_union() checks the discriminator exists in base and makes sense.
Two error messages mention the base.  These are broken for anonymous
bases, as demonstrated by tests flat-union-invalid-discriminator and
flat-union-invalid-if-discriminator.err.  The third one doesn't
bother.

First broken when commit ac4338f8eb "qapi: Allow anonymous base for
flat union" (v2.6.0) neglected to adjust the "not a member of base"
error message.  Commit ccadd6bcba "qapi: Add 'if' to implicit struct
members" (v4.0.0) then cloned the flawed error message.

Dumb them down not to mention the base.

9d55380b5a qapi: Remove null from schema language
We represent the parse tree as OrderedDict.  We fetch optional dict
members with .get().  So far, so good.

We represent null literals as None.  .get() returns None both for
"absent" and for "present, value is the null literal".  Uh-oh.

Test features-if-invalid exposes this bug: "'if': null" is
misinterpreted as absent "if".

We added null to the schema language to "allow [...] an explicit
default value" (commit e53188ada5 "qapi: Allow true, false and null in
schema json", v2.4.0).  Hasn't happened; null is still unused except
as generic invalid value in tests/.

To fix, we'd have to replace .get() by something more careful, or
represent null differently.  Feasible, but we got more and bigger fish
to fry right now.  Remove the null literal from the schema language.
Replace null in tests by another invalid value.

Test features-if-invalid now behaves as it should.

Tests include-format-err and include-extra-junk test the same thing.
The former predates the latter, but the latter has a better name and a
comment.  Delete the former.

8d40738d2f qapi: Tweak code to match docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt
The previous commit made qapi-code-gen.txt define "(top-level)
expression" as either "directive" or "definition".  The code still
uses "expression" when it really means "definition".  Tidy up.

The previous commit made qapi-code-gen.txt use "object" rather than
"dictionary".  The code still uses "dictionary".  Tidy up.

b6c37ebaaf docs/devel/qapi-code-gen: Improve QAPI schema language doc
We document the language by giving patterns of valid JSON objects.
The patterns contain placeholders we don't define anywhere; their
names have to speak for themselves.  I guess they do, but I'd prefer a
bit more rigor.  Provide a grammar instead, and rework the text
accordingly.

Documentation for QAPI schema conditionals (commit 967c885108,
6cc32b0e14, 87adbbffd4..3e270dcacc) and feature flags (commit
6a8c0b5102) was bolted on.  The sections documenting types, commands
and events don't mention them.  Section "Features" and "Configuring
the schema" then provide additional syntax for types, commands and
events.  I hate that.  Fix the sections documenting types, commands
and events to provide accurate syntax, and point to "Features" and
"Configuring the schema" for details.

We talk about "(top-level) expressions other than include and pragma".
Adopt more convenient terminology: a (top-level) expression is either
a directive (include or pragma) or a definition (anything else).

Avoid the terms "dictionary" and "key".  Stick to JSON terminology
"object" and "member name" instead.

While there, make spacing more consistent.

ab76bc2794 docs/devel/qapi-code-gen: Rewrite compatibility considerations
We have some compatibility advice buried in sections "Enumeration
types" and "Struct types".  Compatibility is actually about commands
and events.  It devolves to the types used there.  All kinds of types,
not just enumerations and structs.

Replace the existing advice by a new section "Compatibility
considerations".
