There are no longer any VMStateDescription structs in the tree which
use the load_state_old support for custom handling of incoming
migration from very old QEMU. Remove the mechanism entirely.
This includes removing one stray useless setting of
minimum_version_id_old in a VMStateDescription with no load_state_old
function, which crept in after the global weeding-out of them in
commit 17e3134061.

Currently there is no way for a board model's Kconfig stanza to
say "I have an i2c bus which the user can plug an i2c device into,
build all the free-standing i2c devices". The Kconfig mechanism
for this is the "device group". Add an I2C_DEVICES group along
the same lines as the existing PCI_DEVICES. Simple free-standing
i2c devices which a user might plausibly want to be able to
plug in on the QEMU commandline should have
default y if I2C_DEVICES
and board models which have an i2c bus that is user-accessible
should use
imply I2C_DEVICES
to cause those pluggable devices to be built.
In this commit we mark only a fairly conservative set of i2c devices
as belonging to the I2C_DEVICES group: the simple sensors and RTCs
(not including PMBus devices or devices which need GPIO lines to be
connected).

This introduces
https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-ci
as a git submodule at tests/lcitool/libvirt-ci
The 'lcitool' program within this submodule will be used to
automatically generate build environment manifests from a definition
of requirements in tests/lcitool/projects/qemu.yml
It will ultimately be capable of generating
- Dockerfiles
- Package lists for installation in VMs
- Variables for configuring Cirrus CI environments
When a new build pre-requisite is needed for QEMU, if this package
is not currently known to libvirt-ci, it must first be added to the
'mappings.yml' file in the above git repo.
Then the submodule can be updated and the build pre-requisite added
to the tests/lcitool/projects/qemu.yml file. Now all the build env
manifests can be re-generated using 'make lcitool-refresh'
This ensures that when a new build pre-requisite is introduced, it
is added to all the different OS containers, VMs and Cirrus CI
environments consistently.
It also facilitates the addition of containers targetting new distros
or updating existing containers to new versions of the same distro,
where packages might have been renamed.

I completely botched up the merged[0] rST conversion of this document by
accidentally dropping entire hunks (!) of text. :-( I made it very hard
for reviewers to spot it, as the omitted text was buried deep in the
document. To fix my hatchet job, I reconverted the "SubmitAPatch"
wiki[1] page from scratch and replaced the existing rST with it, while
making sure I incorporated previous feedback.
In summary, in this reconverted edition:
- I did a careful (to the extent my eyes allowed) para-by-para
comparison of the wiki and the rST to make sure I didn't omit
anything accidentally.
- I made sure to work in the cosmetic feedback[2] that Thomas Huth
pointed out in the merged (and botched) edition:
- fix the hyperlinks in "Split up long patches"
- replace ".". with "does not end with a dot" (in "Write a meaningful
commit message" section)
- replace "---" with ``---`` so that it doesn't render as an em-dash
(there were two other occurrences; I fixed those too)
- Use "QEMU" spelling consistently in prose usage
- Add a consistent "refer to git-config" link where appropriate
Thanks to Thomas Huth and Alex Bennée for noticing it on IRC. And sorry
for my sloppiness.

This introduces three different parts of a job designed to run
on a custom runner managed by Red Hat. The goals include:
a) propose a model for other organizations that want to onboard
their own runners, with their specific platforms, build
configuration and tests.
b) bring awareness to the differences between upstream QEMU and the
version available under CentOS Stream, which is "A preview of
upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor and major releases".
c) because of b), it should be easier to identify and reduce the gap
between Red Hat's downstream and upstream QEMU.
The components of this custom job are:
I) OS build environment setup code:
- additions to the existing "build-environment.yml" playbook
that can be used to set up CentOS/EL 8 systems.
- a CentOS Stream 8 specific "build-environment.yml" playbook
that adds to the generic one.
II) QEMU build configuration: a script that will produce binaries with
features as similar as possible to the ones built and packaged on
CentOS stream 8.
III) Scripts that define the minimum amount of testing that the
binaries built with the given configuration (point II) under the
given OS build environment (point I) should be subjected to.
IV) Job definition: GitLab CI jobs that will dispatch the build/test
jobs (see points #II and #III) to the machine specifically
configured according to #I.

To run user-mode emulation tests, we introduced the
avocado_qemu.QemuUserTest which inherits from avocado_qemu.QemuBaseTest.
System-mode emulation tests are based on the avocado_qemu.Test class,
which also inherits avocado_qemu.QemuBaseTest. To avoid confusion,
rename it as avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest.

In the discussion about renaming the `tests/acceptance` [1], the
conclusion was that the folders inside `tests` are related to the
framework running the tests and not directly related to the type of
the tests.
This changes the folder to `tests/avocado` and adjusts the MAKEFILE, the
CI related files and the documentation.

The single backtick markup in ReST is the "default role". Currently,
Sphinx's default role is called "content". Sphinx suggests you can use
the "Any" role instead to turn any single-backtick enclosed item into a
cross-reference.
This is useful for things like autodoc for Python docstrings, where it's
often nicer to reference other types with `foo` instead of the more
laborious :py:meth:`foo`. It's also useful in multi-domain cases to
easily reference definitions from other Sphinx domains, such as
referencing C code definitions from outside of kerneldoc comments.
Before we do that, though, we'll need to turn all existing usages of the
"content" role to inline verbatim markup wherever it does not correctly
resolve into a cross-refernece by using double backticks instead.

We no longer wish to have commands implemented in HMP only. All commands
should start with a QMP implementation and the HMP merely be a shim
around this. To reduce the burden of implementing QMP commands where
there is low expectation of machine usage, requirements for QAPI
modelling are relaxed provided the command is under the "x-" name
prefix.

This illustrates how to add a QMP command returning unstructured text,

a simplified version of 'info roms'.

Traditionally we have required that newly added QMP commands will model
any returned data using fine grained QAPI types. This is good for
commands that are intended to be consumed by machines, where clear data
representation is very important. Commands that don't satisfy this have
generally been added to HMP only.
In effect the decision of whether to add a new command to QMP vs HMP has
been used as a proxy for the decision of whether the cost of designing a
fine grained QAPI type is justified by the potential benefits.
As a result the commands present in QMP and HMP are non-overlapping
sets, although HMP comamnds can be accessed indirectly via the QMP
command 'human-monitor-command'.
One of the downsides of 'human-monitor-command' is that the QEMU monitor
APIs remain tied into various internal parts of the QEMU code. For
example any exclusively HMP command will need to use 'monitor_printf'
to get data out. It would be desirable to be able to fully isolate the
monitor implementation from QEMU internals, however, this is only
possible if all commands are exclusively based on QAPI with direct
QMP exposure.
The way to achieve this desired end goal is to finese the requirements
for QMP command design. For cases where the output of a command is only
intended for human consumption, it is reasonable to want to simplify
the implementation by returning a plain string containing formatted
data instead of designing a fine grained QAPI data type. This can be
permitted if-and-only-if the command is exposed under the 'x-' name
prefix. This indicates that the command data format is liable to
future change and that it is not following QAPI design best practice.
The poster child example for this would be the 'info registers' HMP
command which returns printf formatted data representing CPU state.
This information varies enourmously across target architectures and
changes relatively frequently as new CPU features are implemented.
It is there as debugging data for human operators, and any machine
usage would treat it as an opaque blob. It is thus reasonable to
expose this in QMP as 'x-query-registers' returning a 'str' field.

Best practice is to use the 'hmp_handle_error' function, not
'monitor_printf' or 'error_report_err'. This ensures that the
message always gets an 'Error: ' prefix, distinguishing it
from normal command output.

By convention, names starting with "x-" are experimental. The parts
of external interfaces so named may be withdrawn or changed
incompatibly in future releases.
The naming convention makes unstable interfaces easy to recognize.
Promoting something from experimental to stable involves a name
change. Client code needs to be updated. Occasionally bothersome.
Worse, the convention is not universally observed:
* QOM type "input-barrier" has properties "x-origin", "y-origin".
Looks accidental, but it's ABI since 4.2.
* QOM types "memory-backend-file", "memory-backend-memfd",
"memory-backend-ram", and "memory-backend-epc" have a property
"x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" that is documented to be
stable despite its name.
We could document these exceptions, but documentation helps only
humans. We want to recognize "unstable" in code, like "deprecated".
So support recognizing it the same way: introduce new special feature
flag "unstable". It will be treated specially by the QAPI generator,
like the existing feature flag "deprecated", and unlike regular
feature flags.
This commit updates documentation and prepares tests. The next commit
updates the QAPI schema. The remaining patches update the QAPI
generator and wire up -compat policy checking.
Management applications can then use query-qmp-schema and -compat to
manage or guard against use of unstable interfaces the same way as for
deprecated interfaces.
docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.txt no longer mandates the naming convention.
Using it anyway might help writers of programs that aren't
full-fledged management applications. Not using it can save us
bothersome renames. We'll see how that shakes out.

The next commit will add feature flags to enum members. There's a
problem, though: query-qmp-schema shows an enum type's members as an
array of member names (SchemaInfoEnum member @values). If it showed
an array of objects with a name member, we could simply add more
members to these objects. Since it's just strings, we can't.
I can see three ways to correct this design mistake:
1. Do it the way we should have done it, plus compatibility goo.
We want a ['SchemaInfoEnumMember'] member in SchemaInfoEnum. Since
changing @values would be a compatibility break, add a new member
@members instead.
@values is now redundant. In my testing, output of
qemu-system-x86_64's query-qmp-schema grows by 11% (18.5KiB).
We can deprecate @values now and drop it later. This will break
outmoded clients. Well-behaved clients such as libvirt are
expected to break cleanly.
2. Like 1, but omit "boring" elements of @member, and empty @member.
@values does not become redundant. @members augments it. Somewhat
cumbersome, but output of query-qmp-schema grows only as we make
enum members non-boring.
There is nothing to deprecate here.
3. Versioned query-qmp-schema.
query-qmp-schema provides either @values or @members. The QMP
client can select which version it wants. There is no redundant
output.
We can deprecate old versions and eventually drop them. This will
break outmoded clients. Breaking cleanly is easier than for 1.
While 1 and 2 operate within the common rules for compatible
evolution apply (section "Compatibility considerations" in
docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst), 3 bypasses them. Attractive when
operating within the rules is just too awkward. Not the case here.
This commit implements 1. Libvirt developers prefer it.
Deprecate @values in favour of @members. Since query-qmp-schema
compatibility is pretty fundamental for management applications, an
extended grace period is advised.
