b5bf5a53d1 Kconfig: Add I2C_DEVICES device group
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).

4ebb040f1f tests: integrate lcitool for generating build env manifests
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.

cd6b1674d6 docs: Fix botched rST conversion of 'submitting-a-patch.rst'
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.

9f73de8df0 docs: rSTify the "SubmitAPatch" wiki
- The original wiki is here[1]. I copied the wiki source[2] into a .wiki
  file, and used `pandoc` to convert it to rST:

    $> pandoc -f Mediawiki -t rst submitting-a-patch.wiki -o
       submitting-a-patch.rst

- The only minor touch-ups I did was to fix URLs.  But 99%, it is a 1-1
  conversion.

  (An example of a "touch-up": under the section "Patch emails must
  include a Signed-off-by: line", I updated the "see SubmittingPatches
  1.12"  to "1.12) Sign your work")

- I have also converted a couple other related wiki pages (included in
  this patch series) that were hyperlinked within the SubmitAPatch page,
  or a page that it refers to:

  - SubmitAPullRequest: https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPullRequest
  - TrivialPatches: https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches

- Over time, many people contributed to this wiki page; you can find all

d7c2e2b3f4 Jobs based on custom runners: add CentOS Stream 8
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.

the tests.

This changes the folder to `tests/avocado` and adjusts the MAKEFILE, the
CI related files and the documentation.

450e0f28a4 docs: remove non-reference uses of single backticks
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.

3d312f417d docs/devel: document expectations for HMP commands in the future
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.

f2de406f29 docs/devel: document expectations for QAPI data modelling for QMP
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.

a3c45b3e62 qapi: New special feature flag "unstable"
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.

75ecee7262 qapi: Enable enum member introspection to show more than name
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.

3b4da13293 configure: automatically parse command line for meson -D options
Right now meson_options.txt lists about 90 options.  Each option
needs code in configure to parse it and pass the option down to Meson as
a -D command-line argument; in addition the default must be duplicated
between configure and meson_options.txt.  This series tries to remove
the code duplication by generating the case statement for those --enable
and --disable options, as well as the corresponding help text.

About 80% of the options can be handled completely by the new mechanism.
Eight meson options are not of the --enable/--disable kind.  Six more need
to be parsed in configure for various reasons documented in the patch,
but they still have their help automatically generated.

The advantages are:

- less code in configure

- parsing and help is more consistent (for example --enable-blobs was
  not supported)

- options are described entirely in one place, meson_options.txt.
  This make it more attractive to use Meson options instead of
  hand-crafted configure options and config-host.mak

A few options change name: --enable-tcmalloc and --enable-jemalloc
become --enable-malloc={tcmalloc,jemalloc}; --disable-blobs becomes
--disable-install-blobs; --enable-trace-backend becomes
--enable-trace-backends.  However, the old names are allowed
for backwards compatibility.

f83bcecb1f accel/tcg: Add cpu_{ld,st}*_mmu interfaces
These functions are much closer to the softmmu helper
functions, in that they take the complete MemOpIdx,
and from that they may enforce required alignment.

The previous cpu_ldst.h functions did not have alignment info,
and so did not enforce it.  Retain this by adding MO_UNALN to
the MemOp that we create in calling the new functions.

Note that we are not yet enforcing alignment for user-only,
but we now have the information with which to do so.

23022794de tests/Makefile: allow control over tags during check-acceptance
Although it is possible to run a specific test using the avocado
command-line, a user may want to use a specific tag while running the
``make check-acceptance`` during the development or debugging.

This allows using the AVOCADO_TAGS environment variable where the user
takes total control of which tests should run based on the tags defined.

This also makes the check-acceptance command flexible to restrict tests
based on tags while running on CI.

e.g.:

AVOCADO_TAGS="foo bar baz" make check-acceptance

schema language and the QAPI generator.  We haven't been using simple
unions in new code for a long time, because they are less flexible and

The previous commits eliminated simple union from the tree.  Now drop

Use a standard heading format for the index.rst file in a directory.
Using overlines makes it clear that individual documents can use e.g.
=== for chapter titles and --- for section titles, as suggested in the
Linux kernel guidelines[1].  They could do it anyway, because documents
included in a toctree are parsed separately and therefore are not tied
to the same conventions for headings.  However, keeping some consistency is
useful since sometimes files are included from multiple places.

a35af836d1 docs/devel: be consistent about example plugin names
Some plugins were prefixed with `.c`, some were not. Since the name is
essentially the full-name of the plugin file, it's logical to include
the extension.

40e916b4bc gitlab-ci: Fix ..._RUNNER_AVAILABLE variables and document them
The patch that recently introduced the S390X_RUNNER_AVAILABLE variable
in custom-runners.yml missed that the bottom half of the file is rather
about aarch64 than s390x. Thus rename the S390X_RUNNER_AVAILABLE to
AARCH64_RUNNER_AVAILABLE in those jobs.

Finally mention both variables in our CI documentation, too.

99abcbc760 clock: Provide builtin multiplier/divider
It is quite common for a clock tree to involve possibly programmable
clock multipliers or dividers, where the frequency of a clock is for
instance divided by 8 to produce a slower clock to feed to a
particular device.

Currently we provide no convenient mechanism for modelling this.  You
can implement it by having an input Clock and an output Clock, and
manually setting the period of the output clock in the period-changed
callback of the input clock, but that's quite clunky.

This patch adds support in the Clock objects themselves for setting a
multiplier or divider.  The effect of setting this on a clock is that
when the clock's period is changed, all the children of the clock are
set to period * multiplier / divider, rather than being set to the
same period as the parent clock.

ba4dd2aabc tcg/plugins: enable by default for most TCG builds
Aside from a minor bloat to file size the ability to have TCG plugins
has no real impact on performance unless a plugin is actively loaded.
Even then the libempty.so plugin shows only a minor degradation in
performance caused by the extra book keeping the TCG has to do to keep
track of instructions. As it's a useful feature lets just enable it by
default and reduce our testing matrix a little.

We need to move our linker testing earlier so we can be sure we can
enable the loader module required. As we have ruled out static &
plugins in an earlier patch we can also reduce the indent a little.

40de78c284 Jobs based on custom runners: docs and gitlab-runner setup playbook
To have the jobs dispatched to custom runners, gitlab-runner must
be installed, active as a service and properly configured.  The
variables file and playbook introduced here should help with those
steps.

The playbook introduced here covers the Linux distributions and
has been primarily tested on OS/machines that the QEMU project
has available to act as runners, namely:

 * Ubuntu 20.04 on aarch64
 * Ubuntu 18.04 on s390x

But, it should work on all other Linux distributions.  Earlier
versions were tested on FreeBSD too, so chances of success are
high.

159c5d177b Jobs based on custom runners: build environment docs and playbook
To run basic jobs on custom runners, the environment needs to be
properly set up.  The most common requirement is having the right
packages installed.

The playbook introduced here covers the QEMU's project s390x and
aarch64 machines.  At the time this is being proposed, those machines
have already had this playbook applied to them.

b38a04f71f Jobs based on custom runners: documentation and configuration placeholder
As described in the included documentation, the "custom runner" jobs
extend the GitLab CI jobs already in place.  One of their primary
goals of catching and preventing regressions on a wider number of host
systems than the ones provided by GitLab's shared runners.

This sets the stage in which other community members can add their own
machine configuration documentation/scripts, and accompanying job
definitions.  As a general rule, those newly added contributed jobs
should run as "non-gating", until their reliability is verified (AKA
"allow_failure: true").
