For now, "share=off,readonly=on" would always result in us opening the
file R/O and mmap'ing the opened file MAP_PRIVATE R/O -- effectively
turning it into ROM.
Especially for VM templating, "share=off" is a common use case. However,
that use case is impossible with files that lack write permissions,
because "share=off,readonly=on" will not give us writable RAM.
The sole user of ROM via memory-backend-file are R/O NVDIMMs, but as we
have users (Kata Containers) that rely on the existing behavior --
malicious VMs should not be able to consume COW memory for R/O NVDIMMs --
we cannot change the semantics of "share=off,readonly=on"
So let's add a new "rom" property with on/off/auto values. "auto" is
the default and what most people will use: for historical reasons, to not
change the old semantics, it defaults to the value of the "readonly"
property.
For VM templating, one can now use:
-object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=on,rom=off,...
But we'll disallow:
-object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=on,rom=off,...
because we would otherwise get an error when trying to mmap the R/O file
shared and writable. An explicit error message is cleaner.
We will also disallow for now:
-object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=off,rom=on,...
-object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=off,rom=on,...
It's not harmful, but also not really required for now.
Alternatives that were abandoned:
* Make "unarmed=on" for the NVDIMM set the memory region container
readonly. We would still see a change of ROM->RAM and possibly run
into memslot limits with vhost-user. Further, there might be use cases
for "unarmed=on" that should still allow writing to that memory
(temporary files, system RAM, ...).
* Add a new "readonly=on/off/auto" parameter for NVDIMMs. Similar issues
as with "unarmed=on".
* Make "readonly" consume "on/off/file" instead of being a 'bool' type.
This would slightly changes the behavior of the "readonly" parameter:
values like true/false (as accepted by a 'bool'type) would no longer be
accepted.

There is a difference between how we open a file and how we mmap it,
and we want to support writable private mappings of readonly files. Let's
define RAM_READONLY and RAM_READONLY_FD flags, to replace the single
"readonly" parameter for file-related functions.
In memory_region_init_ram_from_fd() and memory_region_init_ram_from_file(),
initialize mr->readonly based on the new RAM_READONLY flag.
While at it, add some RAM_* flags we missed to add to the list of accepted
flags in the documentation of some functions.
No change in functionality intended. We'll make use of both flags next
and start setting them independently for memory-backend-file.

migrate_ignore_shared() is an optimization that avoids copying memory
that is visible and can be mapped on the target. However, a
memory-backend-ram or a memory-backend-memfd block with the RAM_SHARED
flag set is not migrated when migrate_ignore_shared() is true. This is
wrong, because the block has no named backing store, and its contents will
be lost. To fix, ignore shared memory iff it is a named file. Define a
new flag RAM_NAMED_FILE to distinguish this case.

Let's provide a way to control the use of RAM_NORESERVE via memory
backends using the "reserve" property which defaults to true (old
behavior).
Only Linux currently supports clearing the flag (and support is checked at
runtime, depending on the setting of "/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory").
Windows and other POSIX systems will bail out with "reserve=false".
The target use case is virtio-mem, which dynamically exposes memory
inside a large, sparse memory area to the VM. This essentially allows
avoiding to set "/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory == 0") when using
virtio-mem and also supporting hugetlbfs in the future.
As really only Linux implements RAM_NORESERVE right now, let's expose
the property only with CONFIG_LINUX. Setting the property to "false"
will then only fail in corner cases -- for example on very old kernels
or when memory overcommit was completely disabled by the admin.

When management applications (like Libvirt) want to check whether

There is currently no way to open(O_RDONLY) and mmap(PROT_READ) when
creating a memory region from a file. This functionality is needed since
the underlying host file may not allow writing.
Add a bool readonly argument to memory_region_init_ram_from_file() and
the APIs it calls.
Extend memory_region_init_ram_from_file() rather than introducing a
memory_region_init_rom_from_file() API so that callers can easily make a
choice between read/write and read-only at runtime without calling
different APIs.
No new RAMBlock flag is introduced for read-only because it's unclear
whether RAMBlocks need to know that they are read-only. Pass a bool
readonly argument instead.
Both of these design decisions can be changed in the future. It just
seemed like the simplest approach to me.

Not exactly elegant, I'm afraid.
The "when != lbl:" is necessary to avoid transforming
if (fun(args, &err)) {
goto out
}

out:
error_propagate(errp, err);
even though other paths to label out still need the error_propagate().
For an actual example, see sclp_realize().
Without the "when strict", Coccinelle transforms vfio_msix_setup(),
incorrectly. I don't know what exactly "when strict" does, only that
it helps here.
The match of return is narrower than what I want, but I can't figure
out how to express "return where the operand doesn't use @err". For
an example where it's too narrow, see vfio_intx_enable().

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]
When option -mem-prealloc is used with one or more memory-backend
objects, created backends may not obey configured bind policy or
creation may fail after kernel attempts to move pages according
to bind policy.
Reason is in file_ram_alloc(), which will pre-allocate
any descriptor based RAM if global mem_prealloc != 0 and that
happens way before bind policy is applied to memory range.
One way to fix it would be to extend memory_region_foo() API
and add more invariants that could broken later due implicit
dependencies that's hard to track.
Another approach is to drop adhoc main RAM allocation and
consolidate it around memory-backend. That allows to have
single place that allocates guest RAM (main and memdev)
in the same way and then global mem_prealloc could be
replaced by backend's property[s] that will affect created
memory-backend objects but only in correct order this time.
With main RAM now converted to hostmem backends, there is no
point in keeping global mem_prealloc around, so alias
-mem-prealloc to "memory-backend.prealloc=on"
machine compat[*] property and make mem_prealloc a local
variable to only stir registration of compat property.
*) currently user accessible -global works only with DEVICE
based objects and extra work is needed to make it work
with hostmem backends. But that is convenience option
and out of scope of this already huge refactoring.
Hence machine compat properties were used.

Neither stat(2) nor lseek(2) report the size of Linux devdax pmem
character device nodes. Commit 314aec4a6e
("hostmem-file: reject invalid pmem file sizes") added code to
hostmem-file.c to fetch the size from sysfs and compare against the
user-provided size=NUM parameter:
if (backend->size > size) {
error_setg(errp, "size property %" PRIu64 " is larger than "
"pmem file \"%s\" size %" PRIu64, backend->size,
fb->mem_path, size);
return;
}
It turns out that exec.c:qemu_ram_alloc_from_fd() already has an
equivalent size check but it skips devdax pmem character devices because
lseek(2) returns 0:
if (file_size > 0 && file_size < size) {
error_setg(errp, "backing store %s size 0x%" PRIx64
" does not match 'size' option 0x" RAM_ADDR_FMT,
mem_path, file_size, size);
return NULL;
}
This patch moves the devdax pmem file size code into get_file_size() so
that we check the memory size in a single place:
qemu_ram_alloc_from_fd(). This simplifies the code and makes it more
general.
This also fixes the problem that hostmem-file only checks the devdax
pmem file size when the pmem=on parameter is given. An unchecked
size=NUM parameter can lead to SIGBUS in QEMU so we must always fetch
the file size for Linux devdax pmem character device nodes.

This is useful because getting the size wrong results in confusing

However, the code doesn't work properly for files where struct
stat::st_size is zero. Hostmem-file's ->alloc() function returns early

with >= 4.0.
Having a consistent naming allows to migrate to different hostmem

Before this change, memory-backend-file object is valid for Linux hosts
only because hostmem-file.c is compiled only on Linux hosts.
However, other POSIX-based hosts (such as macOS) can support
memory-backend-file object in the same way as on Linux hosts.
This patch makes hostmem-file.c and related functions to be compiled on
all POSIX-based hosts to make available memory-backend-file on them.

When QEMU emulates vNVDIMM labels and migrates vNVDIMM devices, it
needs to know whether the backend storage is a real persistent memory,
in order to decide whether special operations should be performed to
ensure the data persistence.
This boolean option 'pmem' allows users to specify whether the backend
storage of memory-backend-file is a real persistent memory. If
'pmem=on', QEMU will set the flag RAM_PMEM in the RAM block of the
corresponding memory region. If 'pmem' is set while lack of libpmem
support, a error is generated.

As more flag parameters besides the existing 'share' are going to be
added to following functions
memory_region_init_ram_from_file
qemu_ram_alloc_from_fd
qemu_ram_alloc_from_file
let's switch them to use the 'flags' parameters so as to ease future
flag additions.
The existing 'share' flag is converted to the RAM_SHARED bit in ram_flags,
and other flag bits are ignored by above functions right now.

Currently only file backed memory backend can
be created with a "share" flag in order to allow
sharing guest RAM with other processes in the host.
Add the "share" flag also to RAM Memory Backend
in order to allow remapping parts of the guest RAM
to different host virtual addresses. This is needed
by the RDMA devices in order to remap non-contiguous
QEMU virtual addresses to a contiguous virtual address range.
Moved the "share" flag to the Host Memory base class,
modified phys_mem_alloc to include the new parameter
and a new interface memory_region_init_ram_shared_nomigrate.
There are no functional changes if the new flag is not used.

When mmap(2) the backend files, QEMU uses the host page size
(getpagesize(2)) by default as the alignment of mapping address.
However, some backends may require alignments different than the page
size. For example, mmap a device DAX (e.g., /dev/dax0.0) on Linux
kernel 4.13 to an address, which is 4K-aligned but not 2M-aligned,
fails with a kernel message like
[617494.969768] dax dax0.0: qemu-system-x86: dax_mmap: fail, unaligned vma (0x7fa37c579000 - 0x7fa43c579000, 0x1fffff)
Because there is no common approach to get such alignment requirement,
we add the 'align' option to 'memory-backend-file', so that users or
management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend, can
specify a proper alignment via this option.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.
