Use the no-option form of ".. qmp-example::" to convert any Examples
that do not have any form of caption or explanation whatsoever. Note
that in a few cases, example sections are split into two or more
separate example blocks. This is only done stylistically to create a
delineation between two or more logically independent examples.
See commit-3: "docs/qapidoc: create qmp-example directive", for a
detailed explanation of this custom directive syntax.
See commit+3: "qapi: remove "Example" doc section" for a detailed
explanation of why.
Note: an empty "TODO" line was added to announce-self to keep the
example from floating up into the body; this will be addressed more
rigorously in the new qapidoc generator.

[Markup fixed in one place]

Generally, surround command-line options with ``literal`` markup to help
it stand out from prose in rendered HTML, and add cross-references to
replace "see also" messages.
References to types, values, and other QAPI definitions are not yet
adjusted here; they will be converted en masse in a subsequent patch
after the new QAPI doc generator is merged.

We do not need a dedicated section for notes. By eliminating a specially
parsed section, these notes can be treated as normal rST paragraphs in
the new QMP reference manual, and can be placed and styled much more
flexibly.
Convert all existing "Note" and "Notes" sections to pure rST. As part of
the conversion, capitalize the first letter of each sentence and add
trailing punctuation where appropriate to ensure notes look sensible and
consistent in rendered HTML documentation. Markup is also re-aligned to
the de-facto standard of 3 spaces for directives.
Update docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst to reflect the new paradigm, and
update the QAPI parser to prohibit "Note" sections while suggesting a
new syntax. The exact formatting to use is a matter of taste, but a good
candidate is simply:
.. note:: lorem ipsum ...
... dolor sit amet ...
... consectetur adipiscing elit ...
... but there are other choices, too. The Sphinx readthedocs theme
offers theming for the following forms (capitalization unimportant); all
are adorned with a (!) symbol () in the title bar for rendered HTML
docs.
See
https://sphinx-rtd-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/demo/demo.html#admonitions
for examples of each directive/admonition in use.
These are rendered in orange:
.. Attention:: ...
.. Caution:: ...
.. WARNING:: ...
These are rendered in red:
.. DANGER:: ...
.. Error:: ...
These are rendered in green:
.. Hint:: ...
.. Important:: ...
.. Tip:: ...
These are rendered in blue:
.. Note:: ...
.. admonition:: custom title
admonition body text
This patch uses ".. note::" almost everywhere, with just two "caution"
directives. Several instances of "Notes:" have been converted to
merely ".. note::", or multiple ".. note::" where appropriate.
".. admonition:: notes" is used in a few places where we had an
ordered list of multiple notes that would not make sense as
standalone/separate admonitions. Two "Note:" following "Example:"
have been turned into ordinary paragraphs within the example.
NOTE: Because qapidoc.py does not attempt to preserve source ordering of
sections, the conversion of Notes from a "tagged section" to an
"untagged section" means that rendering order for some notes *may
change* as a result of this patch. The forthcoming qapidoc.py rewrite
strictly preserves source ordering in the rendered documentation, so
this issue will be rectified in the new generator.

The -device JSON syntax impl leaks a reference on the created
DeviceState instance. As a result when you hot-unplug the
device, the device_finalize method won't be called and thus
it will fail to emit the required DEVICE_DELETED event.
A 'json-cli' feature was previously added against the
'device_add' QMP command QAPI schema to indicated to mgmt
apps that -device supported JSON syntax. Given the hotplug
bug that feature flag is not usable for its purpose, so
we add a new 'json-cli-hotplug' feature to indicate the
-device supports JSON without breaking hotplug.

Like we already do for -object, introduce support for JSON syntax in
-device, which can be kept stable in the long term and guarantees that a
single code path with identical behaviour is used for both QMP and the
command line. Compared to the QemuOpts based code, the parser contains
less surprises and has support for non-scalar options (lists and
structs). Switching management tools to JSON means that we can more
easily change the "human" CLI syntax from QemuOpts to the keyval parser
later.
In the QAPI schema, a feature flag is added to the device-add command to
allow management tools to detect support for this.

At this moment we only provide one event to report a hotunplug error,
MEM_UNPLUG_ERROR. As of Linux kernel 5.12 and QEMU 6.0.0, the pseries
machine is now able to report unplug errors for other device types, such
as CPUs.
Instead of creating a (device_type)_UNPLUG_ERROR for each new device,
create a generic DEVICE_UNPLUG_GUEST_ERROR event that can be used by all
guest side unplug errors in the future. This event has a similar API as
the existing DEVICE_DELETED event, always providing the QOM path of the
device and dev->id if there's any.
With this new generic event, MEM_UNPLUG_ERROR is now marked as deprecated.

The various schemas included in QEMU use a JSON-based format which
is, however, strictly speaking not valid JSON.
As a consequence, when vim tries to apply syntax highlight rules
for JSON (as guessed from the file name), the result is an unreadable
mess which mostly consist of red markers pointing out supposed errors
in, well, pretty much everything.
Using Python syntax highlighting produces much better results, and
in fact these files already start with specially-formatted comments
that instruct Emacs to process them as if they were Python files.
This commit adds the equivalent special comments for vim.

The current doc generation doesn't care much about indentation levels,
but we would like to switch to an rST format, and rST does care about
indentation.
Make the doc comments more strongly consistent about indentation
for multiline constructs like:
@arg: description line 1
description line 2
Returns: line one
line 2
so that there is always exactly one space after the colon, and
subsequent lines align with the first.
This commit is a purely whitespace change, and it does not alter the
generated .texi files (because the texi generation code strips away
all the extra whitespace). This does mean that we end up with some
over-length lines.
Note that when the documentation for an argument fits on a single
line like this:
@arg: one line only
then stray extra spaces after the ':' don't affect the rST output, so
I have not attempted to methodically fix them, though the preference
is a single space here too.
