If a script is executable and has a shebang line, Meson treats it as
a normal executable, so that this script here is run via the "python3"
binary in the $PATH. However, "python3" might not be in the $PATH at
all, or it might be a wrong version, so we should make sure to run
this script via the Python version that has been chosen for the QEMU
build process. The best way to do this is to remove the executable bit
from the access mode bits. (See also commit 4b424c7571)

`read_record` now just reads the arguments from the file-object by

meson.build: Make keyutils independent from keyring
Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
Commit 0db0fbb5cf ("Add conditional dependency for libkeyutils")
tried to provide a possibility for the user to disable keyutils
if not required by makeing it depend on the keyring feature. This
looked reasonable at a first glance (the unit test in tests/unit/
needs both), but the condition in meson.build fails if the feature
is meant to be detected automatically, and there is also another
spot in backends/meson.build where keyutils is used independently
from keyring. So let's remove the dependency on keyring again and
introduce a proper meson build option instead.

AF_XDP is a network socket family that allows communication directly
with the network device driver in the kernel, bypassing most or all
of the kernel networking stack. In the essence, the technology is
pretty similar to netmap. But, unlike netmap, AF_XDP is Linux-native
and works with any network interfaces without driver modifications.
Unlike vhost-based backends (kernel, user, vdpa), AF_XDP doesn't
require access to character devices or unix sockets. Only access to
the network interface itself is necessary.
This patch implements a network backend that communicates with the
kernel by creating an AF_XDP socket. A chunk of userspace memory
is shared between QEMU and the host kernel. 4 ring buffers (Tx, Rx,
Fill and Completion) are placed in that memory along with a pool of
memory buffers for the packet data. Data transmission is done by
allocating one of the buffers, copying packet data into it and
placing the pointer into Tx ring. After transmission, device will
return the buffer via Completion ring. On Rx, device will take
a buffer form a pre-populated Fill ring, write the packet data into
it and place the buffer into Rx ring.
AF_XDP network backend takes on the communication with the host
kernel and the network interface and forwards packets to/from the
peer device in QEMU.
Usage example:
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=guest1,mac=00:16:35:AF:AA:5C
-netdev af-xdp,ifname=ens6f1np1,id=guest1,mode=native,queues=1
XDP program bridges the socket with a network interface. It can be
attached to the interface in 2 different modes:
1. skb - this mode should work for any interface and doesn't require
driver support. With a caveat of lower performance.
2. native - this does require support from the driver and allows to
bypass skb allocation in the kernel and potentially use
zero-copy while getting packets in/out userspace.
By default, QEMU will try to use native mode and fall back to skb.
Mode can be forced via 'mode' option. To force 'copy' even in native
mode, use 'force-copy=on' option. This might be useful if there is
some issue with the driver.
Option 'queues=N' allows to specify how many device queues should
be open. Note that all the queues that are not open are still
functional and can receive traffic, but it will not be delivered to
QEMU. So, the number of device queues should generally match the
QEMU configuration, unless the device is shared with something
else and the traffic re-direction to appropriate queues is correctly
configured on a device level (e.g. with ethtool -N).
'start-queue=M' option can be used to specify from which queue id
QEMU should start configuring 'N' queues. It might also be necessary
to use this option with certain NICs, e.g. MLX5 NICs. See the docs
for examples.
In a general case QEMU will need CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_ADMIN
or CAP_BPF capabilities in order to load default XSK/XDP programs to
the network interface and configure BPF maps. It is possible, however,
to run with no capabilities. For that to work, an external process
with enough capabilities will need to pre-load default XSK program,
create AF_XDP sockets and pass their file descriptors to QEMU process
on startup via 'sock-fds' option. Network backend will need to be
configured with 'inhibit=on' to avoid loading of the program.
QEMU will need 32 MB of locked memory (RLIMIT_MEMLOCK) per queue
or CAP_IPC_LOCK.
There are few performance challenges with the current network backends.
First is that they do not support IO threads. This means that data
path is handled by the main thread in QEMU and may slow down other
work or may be slowed down by some other work. This also means that
taking advantage of multi-queue is generally not possible today.
Another thing is that data path is going through the device emulation
code, which is not really optimized for performance. The fastest
"frontend" device is virtio-net. But it's not optimized for heavy
traffic either, because it expects such use-cases to be handled via
some implementation of vhost (user, kernel, vdpa). In practice, we
have virtio notifications and rcu lock/unlock on a per-packet basis
and not very efficient accesses to the guest memory. Communication
channels between backend and frontend devices do not allow passing
more than one packet at a time as well.
Some of these challenges can be avoided in the future by adding better
batching into device emulation or by implementing vhost-af-xdp variant.
There are also a few kernel limitations. AF_XDP sockets do not
support any kinds of checksum or segmentation offloading. Buffers
are limited to a page size (4K), i.e. MTU is limited. Multi-buffer
support implementation for AF_XDP is in progress, but not ready yet.
Also, transmission in all non-zero-copy modes is synchronous, i.e.
done in a syscall. That doesn't allow high packet rates on virtual
interfaces.
However, keeping in mind all of these challenges, current implementation
of the AF_XDP backend shows a decent performance while running on top
of a physical NIC with zero-copy support.
Test setup:
2 VMs running on 2 physical hosts connected via ConnectX6-Dx card.
Network backend is configured to open the NIC directly in native mode.
The driver supports zero-copy. NIC is configured to use 1 queue.
Inside a VM - iperf3 for basic TCP performance testing and dpdk-testpmd
for PPS testing.
iperf3 result:
TCP stream : 19.1 Gbps
dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results:
Tx only : 3.4 Mpps
Rx only : 2.0 Mpps
L2 FWD Loopback : 1.5 Mpps
In skb mode the same setup shows much lower performance, similar to
the setup where pair of physical NICs is replaced with veth pair:
iperf3 result:
TCP stream : 9 Gbps
dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results:
Tx only : 1.2 Mpps
Rx only : 1.0 Mpps
L2 FWD Loopback : 0.7 Mpps
Results in skb mode or over the veth are close to results of a tap
backend with vhost=on and disabled segmentation offloading bridged
with a NIC.

Debian 10 is not anymore a supported distro, since Debian 12 was
released on June 10, 2023. Our supported build platforms as of today
all support at least 3.8 (and all of them except for Ubuntu 20.04
support 3.9):
openSUSE Leap 15.5: 3.6.15 (3.11.2)
CentOS Stream 8: 3.6.8 (3.8.13, 3.9.16, 3.11.4)
CentOS Stream 9: 3.9.17 (3.11.4)
Fedora 37: 3.11.4
Fedora 38: 3.11.4
Debian 11: 3.9.2
Debian 12: 3.11.2
Alpine 3.14, 3.15: 3.9.16
Alpine 3.16, 3.17: 3.10.10
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 3.8.10
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: 3.10.12
NetBSD 9.3: 3.9.13*
FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16
FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.18
OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.17
Note: NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but offers
several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. However, "python39"
appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request
in tests/vm/netbsd.
Since it is safe under our supported platform policy, bump our
minimum supported version of Python to 3.8. The two most interesting
features to have by default include:
- the importlib.metadata module, whose lack is responsible for over 100
lines of code in mkvenv.py
- improvements to asyncio, for example asyncio.CancelledError
inherits from BaseException rather than Exception
In addition, code can now use the assignment operator ':='
Because mypy now learns about importlib.metadata, a small change to
mkvenv.py is needed to pass type checking.

This reverts commit e8e4298fea.
ensuregroup allows to specify both the acceptable versions of avocado,
and a locked version to be used when avocado is not installed as a system
pacakge. This lets us install avocado in pyvenv/ using "mkvenv.py" and
reuse the distro package on Fedora and CentOS Stream (the only distros
where it's available).
ensuregroup's usage of "(>=..., <=...)" constraints when evaluating
the distro package, and "==" constraints when installing it from PyPI,
makes it possible to avoid conflicts between the known-good version and
a package plugins included in the distro.
This is because package plugins have "==" constraints on the version
that is included in the distro, and, using "pip install avocado==88.1"
on a venv that includes system packages will result in an error:
avocado-framework-plugin-varianter-yaml-to-mux 98.0 requires avocado-framework==98.0, but you have avocado-framework 88.1 which is incompatible.
avocado-framework-plugin-result-html 98.0 requires avocado-framework==98.0, but you have avocado-framework 88.1 which is incompatible.
But at the same time, if the venv does not include a system distribution
of avocado then we can install a known-good version and stick to LTS
releases.

testing and replacing lxml dependency with the built-in xml module.
This preprocessing syntax style is not very common, but is similar to

The call to git-submodule.sh done in configure may happen without a
previous checkout of the roms/SLOF submodule, or even without a
previous run of the script.
So, handle creating a .git-submodule-status file even in validate
mode. If git is absent, ensure that all passed directories exists
(because you should be in a fresh untar and will not have stale
arguments to git-submodule.sh) but do no other checks. If git
is present, ensure that .git-submodule-status contains an entry
for all submodules passed on the command line.
With this change, "ignore" mode is not needed anymore.

Unlike other subprojects, these require an overlay directory to include
meson rules to build the libraries. The rules are basically lifted
from tests/fp/meson.build, with a few changes to create platform.h
and publish a dependency.
The build defines are passed through a subproject option, and posted
back to users of the library via the dependency's compile_args.
The only remaining user of GIT_SUBMODULES and GIT_SUBMODULES_ACTION
is roms/SLOF, which is used to build pc-bios/s390-ccw. All other
roms submodules are only present to satisfy the license on pre-built
firmware blobs.

Compared to submodules, .wrap files have several advantages:
* option parsing and downloading is delegated to meson
* the commit is stored in a text file instead of a magic entry in the
git tree object
* we could stop shipping external dependencies that are only used as a
fallback, but not break compilation on platforms that lack them.
For example it may make sense to download dtc at build time, controlled
by --enable-download, even when building from a tarball. Right now,
this patch does the opposite: make-release treats dtc like libvfio-user
(which is not stable API and therefore hasn't found its way into any
distros) and keycodemap (which is a copylib, for better or worse).
dependency() can fall back to a wrap automatically. However, this
is only possible for libraries that come with a .pc file, and this
is not very common for libfdt even though the upstream project in
principle provides it; it also removes the control that we provide with
--enable-fdt={system,internal}. Therefore, the logic to pick system
vs. internal libfdt is left untouched.
--enable-fdt=git is removed; it was already a synonym for
--enable-fdt=internal.
