54ab3c3fee Deprecate 32 bit big-endian MIPS
It's becoming harder to maintain a cross-compiler to test this host
architecture as the old stable Debian 10 ("Buster") moved into LTS
which supports fewer architectures. For now:

  - mark it's deprecation in the docs
  - downgrade the containers to build TCG tests only
  - drop the cross builds from our CI

Users with an appropriate toolchain and user-space can still take
their chances building it.

582a098e6c qga: Replace 'blacklist' command line and config file options by 'block-rpcs'
Let's use a more appropriate wording for this command line and config
file option. The old ones are still accepted for compatibility reasons,
but marked as deprecated now so that it could be removed in a future
version of QEMU.

This change is based on earlier patches from Philippe Mathieu-Daudé,
with the idea for the new option name suggested by BALATON Zoltan.

And while we're at it, replace the "?" in the help text with "help"
since that does not have the problem of conflicting with the wildcard
character of the shells.

These changes match those made in the following libvirt commits:

  2ac78307af docs: Clarify our stance on backported packages
  78cffd450a docs: Spell out our policy concerning minor releases

Since QEMU's platform support policy is based on libvirt's, it
makes sense to mirror these recent changes made to the latter.

The policy is not altered significantly - we're simply spelling
out some rules that were likely already being implicitly
enforced.

b67de91e0d docs: Add caveats for Windows as the build platform
Commit cf60ccc330 ("cutils: Introduce bundle mechanism") introduced
a Python script to populate a bundle directory using os.symlink() to
point to the binaries in the pc-bios directory of the source tree.
Commit 882084a04a ("datadir: Use bundle mechanism") removed previous
logic in pc-bios/meson.build to create a link/copy of pc-bios binaries
in the build tree so os.symlink() is the way to go.

However os.symlink() may fail [1] on Windows if an unprivileged Windows
user started the QEMU build process, which results in QEMU executables
generated in the build tree not able to load the default BIOS/firmware
images due to symbolic links not present in the bundle directory.

This commits updates the documentation by adding such caveats for users
who want to build QEMU on the Windows platform.

cf60ccc330 cutils: Introduce bundle mechanism
Developers often run QEMU without installing. The bundle mechanism
allows to look up files which should be present in installation even in
such a situation.

It is a general mechanism and can find any files in the installation
tree. The build tree will have a new directory, qemu-bundle, to
represent what files the installation tree would have for reference by
the executables.

Note that it abandons compatibility with Windows older than 8. The
extended support for the prior version, 7 ended more than 2 years ago,
and it is unlikely that someone would like to run the latest QEMU on
such an old system.

kaslr-seed property was added, but the equally as important rng-seed
property was forgotten about, which has identical semantics for a
similar purpose. This commit implements it in exactly the same way as
kaslr-seed. It then changes the name of the disabling option to reflect
that this has more to do with randomness vs determinism, rather than
something particular about kaslr.

This is will be unique within a QEMU instance, but not globally.

Revert that this is assigned automatically and immediately deprecate the

`eui64-default=on` device parameter or set it explicitly with

0ce9b08c10 docs/about: Update the support statement for Windows
Our support statement for Windows currently talks about "Vista / Server
2008" - which is related to the API of Windows, and this is not easy
to understand for the non-technical users. Additionally, glib sets the
_WIN32_WINNT macro to 0x0601 already, which indicates the Windows 7 API,
so QEMU effectively depends on the Windows 7 API, too.

Thus let's bump the _WIN32_WINNT setting in QEMU to the same level as
glib uses and adjust our support statement in the documentation to
something similar that we're using for Linux and the *BSD systems
(i.e. only the two most recent versions), which should hopefully be
easier to understand for the users now.

And since we're nowadays also compile-testing QEMU with MSYS2 on Windows
itself, I think we could mention this build environment here, too.

-soundhw, but it reuses the -audiodev parsing machinery and attaches an
audiodev to the newly-created device.  The main 'feature' is that
it knows about adding the codec device for model=intel-hda, and adding
the audiodev to the codec device.

In the future, it could be extended to support default models or
builtin devices, just like -nic, or even a default backend.  For now,
keep it simple.

6e57793748 rng: make opened property read-only
The ``opened=on`` option in the command line or QMP ``object-add`` either had
no effect (if ``opened`` was the last option) or caused errors.  The property
is therefore useless and was deprecated in 6.0; make it read-only now.

0310641c06 crypto: make loaded property read-only
The ``loaded=on`` option in the command line or QMP ``object-add`` either had
no effect (if ``loaded`` was the last option) or caused options to be
effectively ignored as if they were not given.  The property is therefore
useless and was deprecated in 6.0; make it read-only now.

The patch is best reviewed with "-b".

6df39f5e58 i386/cpu: Remove the deprecated cpu model 'Icelake-Client'
Icelake, is the codename for Intel 3rd generation Xeon Scalable server
processors. There isn't ever client variants. This "Icelake-Client" CPU
model was added wrongly and imaginarily.

It has been deprecated since v5.2, now it's time to remove it completely
from code.

e960a7ee46 remove -writeconfig
Like -set and -readconfig, it would not really be too hard to
extend -writeconfig to parsing mechanisms other than QemuOpts.
However, the uses of -writeconfig are substantially more
limited, as it is generally easier to write the configuration
by hand in the first place.  In addition, -writeconfig 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.
Just remove it.

f59fb1889f hw/i386/pc_piix: Mark the machine types from version 1.4 to 1.7 as deprecated
The list of machine types grows larger and larger each release ... and
it is unlikely that many people still use the very old ones for live
migration. QEMU v1.7 has been released more than 8 years ago, so most
people should have updated their machines to a newer version in those
8 years at least once. Thus let's mark the very old 1.x machine types
as deprecated now.

6b717a8d44 hw/misc/sifive_u_otp: Use IF_PFLASH for the OTP device instead of IF_NONE
Configuring a drive with "if=none" is meant for creation of a backend
only, it should not get automatically assigned to a device frontend.
Use "if=pflash" for the One-Time-Programmable device instead (like
it is e.g. also done for the efuse device in hw/arm/xlnx-zcu102.c).

Since the old way of configuring the device has already been published
with the previous QEMU versions, we cannot remove this immediately, but
have to deprecate it and support it for at least two more releases.

4d8b0f0a95 docs: Deprecate incorrectly typed device_add arguments
While introducing a non-QemuOpts code path for device creation for JSON
-device, we noticed that QMP device_add doesn't check its input
correctly (accepting arguments that should have been rejected), and that
users may be relying on this behaviour (libvirt did until it was fixed
recently).

Let's use a deprecation period before we fix this bug in QEMU to avoid
nasty surprises for users.

1084159b31 qapi: deprecate drive-backup
Modern way is using blockdev-add + blockdev-backup, which provides a
lot more control on how target is opened.

As example of drive-backup problems consider the following:

User of drive-backup expects that target will be opened in the same
cache and aio mode as source. Corresponding logic is in
drive_backup_prepare(), where we take bs->open_flags of source.

It works rather bad if source was added by blockdev-add. Assume source
is qcow2 image. On blockdev-add we should specify aio and cache options
for file child of qcow2 node. What happens next:

drive_backup_prepare() looks at bs->open_flags of qcow2 source node.
But there no BDRV_O_NOCAHE neither BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO: BDRV_O_NOCAHE is
places in bs->file->bs->open_flags, and BDRV_O_NATIVE_AIO is nowhere,
as file-posix parse options and simply set s->use_linux_aio.

The documentation is updated in a minimal way, so that drive-backup is
noted only as a deprecated command, and blockdev-backup used in most of
places.

66d96a1901 docs/about/deprecated: Remove empty 'related binaries' section
Commit 497a30dbb0 ("qemu-img: Require -F with -b backing image")
removed the content of the "Related binaries" section but forgot
to remove the section title. Since it is now empty, remove it too.
