Emulated devices and other BlockBackend users wishing to take advantage
of blk_register_buf() all have the same repetitive job: register
RAMBlocks with the BlockBackend using RAMBlockNotifier.
Add a BlockRAMRegistrar API to do this. A later commit will use this
from hw/block/virtio-blk.c.

libblkio (https://gitlab.com/libblkio/libblkio/) is a library for
high-performance disk I/O. It currently supports io_uring,
virtio-blk-vhost-user, and virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa with additional drivers
under development.
One of the reasons for developing libblkio is that other applications
besides QEMU can use it. This will be particularly useful for
virtio-blk-vhost-user which applications may wish to use for connecting
to qemu-storage-daemon.
libblkio also gives us an opportunity to develop in Rust behind a C API
that is easy to consume from QEMU.
This commit adds io_uring, nvme-io_uring, virtio-blk-vhost-user, and
virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa BlockDrivers to QEMU using libblkio. It will be
easy to add other libblkio drivers since they will share the majority of
code.
For now I/O buffers are copied through bounce buffers if the libblkio
driver requires it. Later commits add an optimization for
pre-registering guest RAM to avoid bounce buffers.
The syntax is:
--blockdev io_uring,node-name=drive0,filename=test.img,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on|off
--blockdev nvme-io_uring,node-name=drive0,filename=/dev/ng0n1,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on
--blockdev virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa,node-name=drive0,path=/dev/vdpa...,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on
--blockdev virtio-blk-vhost-user,node-name=drive0,path=vhost-user-blk.sock,readonly=on|off,cache.direct=on

The new block driver simply utilizes snapshot-access API of underlying
block node.
In further patches we want to use it like this:
[guest] [NBD export]
| |
| root | root
v file v
[copy-before-write]<------[snapshot-access]
| |
| file | target
v v
[active-disk] [temp.img]
This way, NBD client will be able to read snapshotted state of active
disk, when active disk is continued to be written by guest. This is
known as "fleecing", and currently uses another scheme based on qcow2
temporary image which backing file is active-disk. New scheme comes
with benefits - see next commit.
The other possible application is exporting internal snapshots of
qcow2, like this:
[guest] [NBD export]
| |
| root | root
v file v
[qcow2]<---------[snapshot-access]
For this, we'll need to implement snapshot-access API handlers in
qcow2 driver, and improve snapshot-access block driver (and API) to
make it possible to select snapshot by name. Another thing to improve
is size of snapshot. Now for simplicity we just use size of bs->file,
which is OK for backup, but for qcow2 snapshots export we'll need to
imporve snapshot-access API to get size of snapshot.

block.h currently contains a mix of functions:
some of them run under the BQL and modify the block layer graph,
others are instead thread-safe and perform I/O in iothreads.
Some others can only be called by either the main loop or the
iothread running the AioContext (and not other iothreads),
and using them in another thread would cause deadlocks, and therefore
it is not ideal to define them as I/O.
It is not easy to understand which function is part of which
group (I/O vs GS vs "I/O or GS"), and this patch aims to clarify it.
The "GS" functions need the BQL, and often use
aio_context_acquire/release and/or drain to be sure they
can modify the graph safely.
The I/O function are instead thread safe, and can run in
any AioContext.
"I/O or GS" functions run instead in the main loop or in
a single iothread, and use BDRV_POLL_WHILE().
By splitting the header in two files, block-io.h
and block-global-state.h we have a clearer view on what
needs what kind of protection. block-common.h
contains common structures shared by both headers.
block.h is left there for legacy and to avoid changing
all includes in all c files that use the block APIs.
Assertions are added in the next patch.

For a long time, we assumed that libxml2 is necessary for parallels
block format support (block/parallels*). However, this format actually
does not use libxml [*]. Since this is the only user of libxml2 in
whole QEMU tree, we can drop all libxml2 checks and dependencies too.
It is even more: --enable-parallels configure option was the only
option which was silently ignored when it's (fake) dependency
(libxml2) isn't installed.
Drop all mentions of libxml2.
[*] Actually the basis for libxml use were introduced in commit
ed279a06c5 ("configure: add dependency") but the implementation
was never merged:

We are going to convert backup_top to full featured public filter,
which can be used in separate of backup job. Start from renaming from
"how it used" to "what it does".
While updating comments in 283 iotest, drop and rephrase also things
about ".active", as this field is now dropped, and filter doesn't have
"inactive" mode.
Note that this change may be considered as incompatible interface
change, as backup-top filter format name was visible through
query-block and query-named-block-nodes.
Still, consider the following reasoning:
1. backup-top was never documented, so if someone depends on format
name (for driver that can't be used other than it is automatically
inserted on backup job start), it's a kind of "undocumented feature
use". So I think we are free to change it.
2. There is a hope, that there is no such users: it's a lot more native
to give a good node-name to backup-top filter if need to operate
with it somehow, and don't touch format name.
3. Another "incompatible" change in further commit would be moving
copy-before-write filter from using backing child to file child. And
this is even more reasonable than renaming: for now all public
filters are file-child based.
So, it's a risky change, but risk seems small and good interface worth
it.

While most libraries do not need a CONFIG_* symbol because the
"when:" clauses are enough, some do. Add them back or stop
using them if possible.
In the case of libpmem, the statement to add the CONFIG_* symbol
was still in configure, but could not be triggered because it
checked for "no" instead of "disabled" (and it would be wrong anyway
since the test for the library has not been done yet).

Progressmeter is protected by the AioContext mutex, which
is taken by the block jobs and their caller (like blockdev).
We would like to remove the dependency of block layer code on the
AioContext mutex, since most drivers and the core I/O code are already
not relying on it.
Create a new C file to implement the ProgressMeter API, but keep the
struct as public, to avoid forcing allocation on the heap.
Also add a mutex to be able to provide an accurate snapshot of the
progress values to the caller.

Right now all dependencies for block modules are passed to
module_ss.add(when: ...), so they are mandatory. In the next patch we
will need to add a libm dependency to a module, but libm does not exist

dependencies can also be passed to module_ss.add(if_true: ...).

module on glib. glib is always linked in QEMU and in fact all other

this fixes non-TCG builds broken recently by replay reverse debugging.
Stub the needed functions in stub/, splitting roughly between functions
needed only by system emulation, by system emulation and tools,
and by everyone. This includes duplicating some code in replay/, and
puts the logic for non-replay related events in the replay/ module (+
the stubs), so this should be revisited in the future.
Surprisingly, only _one_ qtest was affected by this, ide-test.c, which
resulted in a buzz as the bh events were never delivered, and the bh
never executed.
Many other subsystems _should_ have been affected.
This fixes the immediate issue, however a better way to group replay
functionality to TCG-only code could be developed in the long term.

We have a very frequent pattern of creating a coroutine from a function
with several arguments:
- create a structure to pack parameters
- create _entry function to call original function taking parameters
from struct
- do different magic to handle completion: set ret to NOT_DONE or
EINPROGRESS or use separate bool field
- fill the struct and create coroutine from _entry function with this
struct as a parameter
- do coroutine enter and BDRV_POLL_WHILE loop
Let's reduce code duplication by generating coroutine wrappers.
This patch adds scripts/block-coroutine-wrapper.py together with some
friends, which will generate functions with declared prototypes marked
by the 'generated_co_wrapper' specifier.
The usage of new code generation is as follows:
1. define the coroutine function somewhere
int coroutine_fn bdrv_co_NAME(...) {...}
2. declare in some header file
int generated_co_wrapper bdrv_NAME(...);
with same list of parameters (generated_co_wrapper is
defined in "include/block/block.h").
3. Make sure the block_gen_c declaration in block/meson.build
mentions the file with your marker function.
Still, no function is now marked, this work is for the following
commit.
