Emulators are currently using OptsVisitor (via user_creatable_add_opts)
to parse the -object command line option. This has one extra feature,
compared to keyval, which is automatic conversion of integers to lists
as well as support for lists as repeated options:
-object memory-backend-ram,id=pc.ram,size=1048576000,host-nodes=0,policy=bind
So we cannot replace OptsVisitor with keyval right now. Still, this
patch moves the user_creatable_add_opts logic to vl.c since it is
not needed anywhere else, and makes it go through user_creatable_add_qapi.
In order to minimize code changes, the predicate still takes a string.
This can be changed later to use the ObjectType QAPI enum directly.

The system emulator has a more complicated way of handling command line
options in that it reorders options before it processes them. This means
that parsing object options and creating the object happen at two
different points. Split the parsing part into a separate function that
can be reused by the system emulator command line.

This converts object-add from 'gen': false to the ObjectOptions QAPI
type. As an immediate benefit, clients can now use QAPI schema
introspection for user creatable QOM objects.
It is also the first step towards making the QAPI schema the only
external interface for the creation of user creatable objects. Once all
other places (HMP and command lines of the system emulator and all
tools) go through QAPI, too, some object implementations can be
simplified because some checks (e.g. that mandatory options are set) are
already performed by QAPI, and in another step, QOM boilerplate code
could be generated from the schema.

When debugging QEMU it is often useful to put a breakpoint on the
error_setg_internal method impl.
Unfortunately the object_property_add / object_class_property_add
methods call object_property_find / object_class_property_find methods
to check if a property exists already before adding the new property.
As a result there are a huge number of calls to error_setg_internal
on startup of most QEMU commands, making it very painful to set a
breakpoint on this method.
Most callers of object_find_property and object_class_find_property,
however, pass in a NULL for the Error parameter. This simplifies the
methods to remove the Error parameter entirely, and then adds some
new wrapper methods that are able to raise an Error when needed.

When creating new QOM types, there is a lot of boilerplate code that
must be repeated using a standard pattern. This is tedious to write
and liable to suffer from subtle inconsistencies. Thus it would
benefit from some simple automation.
QOM was loosely inspired by GLib's GObject, and indeed GObject suffers
from the same burden of boilerplate code, but has long provided a set of
macros to eliminate this burden in the source implementation. More
recently it has also provided a set of macros to eliminate this burden
in the header declaration.
In GLib there are the G_DECLARE_* and G_DEFINE_* family of macros
for the header declaration and source implementation respectively:
https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/chapter-gobject.htmlhttps://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/howto-gobject.html
This patch takes inspiration from GObject to provide the equivalent
functionality for QOM.
In the header file, instead of:
typedef struct MyDevice MyDevice;
typedef struct MyDeviceClass MyDeviceClass;
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC(MyDeviceClass, object_unref)
#define MY_DEVICE_GET_CLASS(void *obj) \
OBJECT_GET_CLASS(MyDeviceClass, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
#define MY_DEVICE_CLASS(void *klass) \
OBJECT_CLASS_CHECK(MyDeviceClass, klass, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
#define MY_DEVICE(void *obj)
OBJECT_CHECK(MyDevice, obj, TYPE_MY_DEVICE)
struct MyDeviceClass {
DeviceClass parent_class;
};
We now have
OBJECT_DECLARE_SIMPLE_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE)
In cases where the class needs some virtual methods, it can be left
to be implemented manually using
OBJECT_DECLARE_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE)
Note that these macros are including support for g_autoptr() for the
object types, which is something previously only supported for variables
declared as the base Object * type.
Meanwhile in the source file, instead of:
static void my_device_finalize(Object *obj);
static void my_device_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data);
static void my_device_init(Object *obj);
static const TypeInfo my_device_info = {
.parent = TYPE_DEVICE,
.name = TYPE_MY_DEVICE,
.instance_size = sizeof(MyDevice),
.instance_init = my_device_init,
.instance_finalize = my_device_finalize,
.class_size = sizeof(MyDeviceClass),
.class_init = my_device_class_init,
};
static void
my_device_register_types(void)
{
type_register_static(&my_device_info);
}
type_init(my_device_register_types);
We now have
OBJECT_DEFINE_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE)
Or, if a class needs to implement interfaces:
OBJECT_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_INTERFACES(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE,
{ TYPE_USER_CREATABLE }, { NULL })
Or, if a class needs to be abstract
OBJECT_DEFINE_ABSTRACT_TYPE(MyDevice, my_device, MY_DEVICE, DEVICE)
IOW, in both cases the maintainer now only has to think about the
interesting part of the code which implements useful functionality
and avoids much of the boilerplate.

The object_ref/unref methods are intended for use with any subclass of
the base Object. Using "Object *" in the signature is not adding any

and this expands to an unchecked cast "(Object *)".
By using "void *" we enable the object_unref() method to be used to

object_property_add() does not allow object_property_try_add()
to gracefully fail as &error_abort is passed as an error handle.
However such failure can easily be triggered from the QMP shell when,
for instance, one attempts to create an object with an id that already
exists. This is achieved from the following call path:
qmp_object_add -> user_creatable_add_dict -> user_creatable_add_type ->
object_property_add_child -> object_property_add
For instance, from the qmp-shell, call twice:
object-add qom-type=memory-backend-ram id=mem1 props.size=1073741824
and QEMU aborts.
This behavior is undesired as a user/management application mistake
in reusing a property ID shouldn't result in loss of the VM and live
data within.
This patch introduces a new function, object_property_try_add_child()
which takes an error handle and turn object_property_try_add() into
a non-static one.
Now the call path becomes:
user_creatable_add_type -> object_property_try_add_child ->
object_property_try_add
and the error is returned gracefully to the QMP client.

The only way object_property_add() can fail is when a property with
the same name already exists. Since our property names are all
hardcoded, failure is a programming error, and the appropriate way to
handle it is passing &error_abort.
Same for its variants, except for object_property_add_child(), which
additionally fails when the child already has a parent. Parentage is
also under program control, so this is a programming error, too.
We have a bit over 500 callers. Almost half of them pass
&error_abort, slightly fewer ignore errors, one test case handles
errors, and the remaining few callers pass them to their own callers.
The previous few commits demonstrated once again that ignoring
programming errors is a bad idea.
Of the few ones that pass on errors, several violate the Error API.
The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a
pointer to a variable containing NULL. Passing an argument of the
latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the
first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second
call. ich9_pm_add_properties(), sparc32_ledma_realize(),
sparc32_dma_realize(), xilinx_axidma_realize(), xilinx_enet_realize()
are wrong that way.
When the one appropriate choice of argument is &error_abort, letting
users pick the argument is a bad idea.
Drop parameter @errp and assert the preconditions instead.
There's one exception to "duplicate property name is a programming
error": the way object_property_add() implements the magic (and
undocumented) "automatic arrayification". Don't drop @errp there.
Instead, rename object_property_add() to object_property_try_add(),
and add the obvious wrapper object_property_add().

[Two semantic rebase conflicts resolved]
object_property_set_description() and
object_class_property_set_description() fail only when property @name
is not found.
There are 85 calls of object_property_set_description() and
object_class_property_set_description(). None of them can fail:
* 84 immediately follow the creation of the property.
* The one in spapr_rng_instance_init() refers to a property created in
spapr_rng_class_init(), from spapr_rng_properties[].
Every one of them still gets to decide what to pass for @errp.
51 calls pass &error_abort, 32 calls pass NULL, one receives the error
and propagates it to &error_abort, and one propagates it to
&error_fatal. I'm actually surprised none of them violates the Error
API.
What are we gaining by letting callers handle the "property not found"
error? Use when the property is not known to exist is simpler: you
don't have to guard the call with a check. We haven't found such a
use in 5+ years. Until we do, let's make life a bit simpler and drop
the @errp parameter.

qom/object.c provides object_property_get_TYPE() and
object_property_set_TYPE() for a number of common types. These are
all convenience wrappers around object_property_get_qobject() and
object_property_set_qobject().
Except for object_property_get_uint16List(), which is unusual in two ways:
* It bypasses object_property_get_qobject(). Fixable; the previous
commit did it for object_property_get_enum())
* It stores the value through a parameter. Its contract claims it
returns the value, like the other functions do. Also fixable.
Fixing is not worthwhile, though: object_property_get_uint16List() has
seen exactly one user in six years.
Convert the lone user to do its job with the generic
object_property_get_qobject(), and drop object_property_get_uint16List().

[Commit message typo fixed]
Uses of gchar * in qom/object.h:
* ObjectProperty member @name
Functions that take a property name argument all use char *. Change
the member to match.
* ObjectProperty member @type
Functions that take a property type argument or return it all use
char *. Change the member to match.
* ObjectProperty member @description
Functions that take a property description argument all use char *.
Change the member to match.
* object_resolve_path_component() parameter @part
Path components are property names. Most callers pass char *
arguments. Change the parameter to match. Adjust the few callers
that pass gchar * to pass char *.
* Return value of object_get_canonical_path_component(),
object_get_canonical_path()
Most callers convert their return values right back to char *.
Change the return value to match. Adjust the few callers where that
would add a conversion to gchar * to use char * instead.
