By default VM build test use qemu-img from system's PATH to
create the image disk. Due the lack of qemu-img on the system
or the desire to simply use a version built with QEMU, it would
be nice to allow one to set its path. So this patch makes that
possible by reading the path to qemu-img from QEMU_IMG if set,
otherwise it fallback to default behavior.

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.

Documentation for QAPI schema conditionals (commit 967c885108,

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.

Commands and events can define their argument type inline (default) or
by referring to another type ('boxed': true, since commit c818408e44
"qapi: Implement boxed types for commands/events", v2.7.0). The
unboxed inline definition is an (anonymous) struct type. The boxed
type may be a struct, union, or alternate type.
The latter is problematic: docs/interop/qemu-spec.txt requires the
value of the 'data' key to be a json-object, but any non-degenerate
alternate type has at least one branch that isn't.
Fortunately, we haven't made use of alternates in this context outside
tests/. Drop support for them.
QAPISchemaAlternateType.is_empty() is now unused. Drop it, too.

Sometimes, the behaviour of QEMU changes without a change in the QMP
syntax (usually by allowing values or operations that previously
resulted in an error). QMP clients may still need to know whether
they can rely on the changed behavior.
Let's add feature flags to the QAPI schema language, so that we can make
such changes visible with schema introspection.
An example for a schema definition using feature flags looks like this:
{ 'struct': 'TestType',
'data': { 'number': 'int' },
'features': [ 'allow-negative-numbers' ] }
Introspection information then looks like this:
{ "name": "TestType", "meta-type": "object",
"members": [
{ "name": "number", "type": "int" } ],
"features": [ "allow-negative-numbers" ] }
This patch implements feature flags only for struct types. We'll
implement them more widely as needed.

simply got ignored so far. For example, after a "touch hw/arm/Kconfig",

A test can, optionally, be tagged for one or many architectures. If a
test has been tagged for a single architecture, there's a high chance
that the test won't run on other architectures. This changes the
default order of choosing a default target architecture to use based
on the 'arch' tag value first.
The precedence order is for choosing a QEMU binary to use for a test
is now:
* qemu_bin parameter
* arch parameter
* arch tag value (for example, x86_64 if "🥑 tags=arch:x86_64
is used)
This means that if one runs:
$ avocado run -p qemu_bin=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 test.py
No arch parameter or tag will influence the selection of the QEMU
target binary. If one runs:
$ avocado run -p arch=ppc64 test.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64". And finally, if one runs
a test that is tagged (in its docstring) with "arch:aarch64":
$ avocado run aarch64.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64".
At this time, no provision is made to cancel the execution of tests if
the arch parameter given (manually) does not match the test "arch"
tag, but it may be a useful default behavior to be added in the
future.

* the architecture of code to be run within the QEMU binary, such

This commit introduces both a test parameter and a test instance
attribute, that will contain such a value.
Now, when the "arch" test parameter is given, it will influence the

Done mostly with the following script:

sed -i -e'/^config '$i'$/!b' -en \
-e'a\' -e' default y if PCI_DEVICES\' -e' depends on PCI' \

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

This change adds the possibility to write acceptance tests with multi
virtual machine support. It's done keeping the virtual machines objects
stored in a test attribute (dictionary). This dictionary shouldn't be
accessed directly but through the new method added `get_vm`. This new
method accept a list of args (that will be added as virtual machine
arguments) and an optional name argument. The name is the key that
identify a single virtual machine along the test machines available. If
a name without a machine is informed a new machine will be instantiated.
The current usage of vm in tests will not be broken by this change since
it keeps a property called vm in the base test class. This property only
calls the new method `get_vm` with default parameters (no args and
'default' as machine name).

Python based tests) in a manner that is as safe as possible to the
user. Different from plain Python unittest, it won't load or
execute test code on an operation such as:
$ avocado list tests/acceptance/
Before version 68.0, the logic implemented to identify INSTRUMENTED
tests would require either the "🥑 enable" or "🥑
recursive" statement as a flag for tests that would not inherit
directly from "avocado.Test". This is not necessary anymore,
and because of that the boiler plate statements can now be removed.

The dtrace systemtap trace backend for QEMU is very powerful but it is
also somewhat unfriendly to users who aren't familiar with systemtap,
or who don't need its power right now.
stap -e "....some strange script...."
The 'log' backend for QEMU by comparison is very crude but incredibly
easy to use:
$ qemu -d trace:qio* ...some args...

This commit introduces a way to do simple printf style logging of probe
points using systemtap. In particular it creates another set of tapsets,
one per emulator:
/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/qemu-*-log.stp
These pre-define probe functions which simply call printf() on their
arguments. The printf() format string is taken from the normal
trace-events files, with a little munging to the format specifiers
to cope with systemtap's more restrictive syntax.
With this you can now do
$ stap -e 'probe qemu.system.x86_64.log.qio*{}'

We go one step further though and introduce a 'qemu-trace-stap' tool to
make this even easier
$ qemu-trace-stap run qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'

This tool is clever in that it will automatically change the
SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET env variable to point to the directory containing the
right set of probes for the QEMU binary path you give it. This is useful
if you have QEMU installed in /usr but are trying to test and trace a
binary in /home/berrange/usr/qemu-git. In that case you'd do
$ qemu-trace-stap run /home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
And it'll make sure /home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/share/systemtap/tapset
is used for the trace session
The 'qemu-trace-stap' script takes a verbose arg so you can understand
what it is running
$ qemu-trace-stap run /home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
Using tapset dir '/home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/share/systemtap/tapset' for binary '/home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64'
Compiling script 'probe qemu.system.x86_64.log.qio* {}'
Running script, <Ctrl>-c to quit
...trace output...
It can enable multiple probes at once
$ qemu-trace-stap run qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*' 'qcrypto*' 'buffer*'
By default it monitors all existing running processes and all future
launched proceses. This can be restricted to a specific PID using the
--pid arg
$ qemu-trace-stap run --pid 2532 qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
Finally if you can't remember what probes are valid it can tell you
$ qemu-trace-stap list qemu-system-x86_64
ahci_check_irq
ahci_cmd_done
ahci_dma_prepare_buf
ahci_dma_prepare_buf_fail
ahci_dma_rw_buf
ahci_irq_lower
...snip...
Or list just those matching a prefix pattern
$ qemu-trace-stap list -v qemu-system-x86_64 'qio*'
Using tapset dir '/home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/share/systemtap/tapset' for binary '/home/berrange/usr/qemu-git/bin/qemu-system-x86_64'
Listing probes with name 'qemu.system.x86_64.log.qio*'
qio_channel_command_abort
qio_channel_command_new_pid
qio_channel_command_new_spawn
qio_channel_command_wait
qio_channel_file_new_fd
...snip...

The qapi_event_send_FOO() functions emit events like this:
QMPEventFuncEmit emit;
emit = qmp_event_get_func_emit();
if (!emit) {
return;
}
qmp = qmp_event_build_dict("FOO");
[put event arguments into @qmp...]
emit(QAPI_EVENT_FOO, qmp);
The value of qmp_event_get_func_emit() depends only on the program:
* In qemu-system-FOO, it's always monitor_qapi_event_queue.
* In tests/test-qmp-event, it's always event_test_emit.
* In all other programs, it's always null.
This is exactly the kind of dependence the linker is supposed to
resolve; we don't actually need an indirection.
Note that things would fall apart if we linked more than one QAPI
schema into a single program: each set of qapi_event_send_FOO() uses
its own event enumeration, yet they share a single emit function.
Which takes the event enumeration as an argument. Which one if
there's more than one?
More seriously: how does this work even now? qemu-system-FOO wants
QAPIEvent, and passes a function taking that to
qmp_event_set_func_emit(). test-qmp-event wants test_QAPIEvent, and
passes a function taking that to qmp_event_set_func_emit().
It works by type trickery, of course:
typedef void (*QMPEventFuncEmit)(unsigned event, QDict *dict);
void qmp_event_set_func_emit(QMPEventFuncEmit emit);
QMPEventFuncEmit qmp_event_get_func_emit(void);
We use unsigned instead of the enumeration type. Relies on both
enumerations boiling down to unsigned, which happens to be true for
the compilers we use.
Clean this up as follows:
* Generate qapi_event_send_FOO() that call PREFIX_qapi_event_emit()
instead of the value of qmp_event_set_func_emit().
* Generate a prototype for PREFIX_qapi_event_emit() into
qapi-events.h.
* PREFIX_ is empty for qapi/qapi-schema.json, and test_ for
tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json. It's qga_ for
qga/qapi-schema.json, and doc-good- for
tests/qapi-schema/doc-good.json, but those don't define any events.
* Rename monitor_qapi_event_queue() to qapi_event_emit() instead of
passing it to qmp_event_set_func_emit(). This takes care of
qemu-system-FOO.
* Rename event_test_emit() to test_qapi_event_emit() instead of
passing it to qmp_event_set_func_emit(). This takes care of
tests/test-qmp-event.
* Add a qapi_event_emit() that does nothing to stubs/monitor.c. This
takes care of all other programs that link code emitting QMP events.
* Drop qmp_event_set_func_emit(), qmp_event_get_func_emit().
