Versions of Sphinx older than 1.6 can't build all of our documentation,
because they are too picky about the syntax of the argument to the
option:: directive; see Sphinx bugs #646, #3366:
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/646https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/3366
Trying to build with a 1.4.x Sphinx fails with
docs/system/images.rst:4: SEVERE: Duplicate ID: "cmdoption-qcow2-arg-encrypt"
and a 1.5.x Sphinx fails with
docs/system/invocation.rst:544: WARNING: Malformed option description '[enable=]PATTERN', should look like "opt", "-opt
args", "--opt args", "/opt args" or "+opt args"
Update our needs_sphinx setting to indicate that we require at least
1.6. This will allow configure to fall back to "don't build the
docs" rather than causing the build to fail entirely, which is
probably what most users building on a host old enough to have such
an old Sphinx would want; if they do want the docs then they'll have
a useful indication of what they need to do (upgrade Sphinx!) rather
than a confusing error message.
In theory our distro support policy would suggest that we should
support building on the Sphinx shipped in those distros, but:
* EPEL7 has Sphinx 1.2.3 (which we've never supported!)
* Debian Stretch has Sphinx 1.4.8
Trying to get our docs to work with Sphinx 1.4 is not tractable
for the 5.0 release and I'm not sure it's worthwhile effort anyway;
at least with this change the build as a whole now succeeds.
Thanks to John Snow for doing the investigation and testing to
confirm what Sphinx versions fail in what ways and what distros
shipped what.

The kernel-doc Sphinx plugin and associated script currently emit
'c:type' directives for "struct foo" documentation.
Sphinx 3.0 warns about this:
/home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/docs/../include/exec/memory.h:3: WARNING: Type must be either just a name or a typedef-like declaration.
If just a name:
Error in declarator or parameters

struct MemoryListener
------^
If typedef-like declaration:
Error in declarator or parameters
Invalid C declaration: Expected identifier in nested name. [error at 21]

because it wants us to use the new-in-3.0 'c:struct' instead.
Plumb the Sphinx version through to the kernel-doc script
and use it to select 'c:struct' for newer versions than 3.0.

The documentation of our -s and -gdb options is quite old; in
particular it still claims that it will cause QEMU to stop and wait
for the gdb connection, when this has not been true for some time:
you also need to pass -S if you want to make QEMU not launch the
guest on startup.
Improve the documentation to mention this requirement in the
executable's --help output, the documentation of the -gdb option in
the manual, and in the "GDB usage" chapter.
Includes some minor tweaks to these paragraphs of documentation
since I was editing them anyway (such as dropping the description
of our gdb support as "primitive").

Some of the constraints on operand sizes have been relaxed, so adjust the

Deprecate atomic_mb_read and atomic_mb_set; it is not really possible to
use them correctly because they do not interoperate with sequentially-consistent

Raise ConfigError rather than VersionRequirementError when we detect
that the Python being used by Sphinx is too old.
Currently the way we flag the Python version problem up to the user
causes Sphinx to print an unnecessary Python stack trace as well as
the information about the problem; in most versions of Sphinx this is
unavoidable.
The upstream Sphinx developers kindly added a feature to allow
conf.py to report errors to the user without the backtrace:
be608ca231
but the exception type they chose for this was ConfigError.
Switch to ConfigError, which won't make any difference with currently
deployed Sphinx versions, but will be prettier one day when the user
is using a Sphinx version with the new feature.

Server class POWER CPUs have a "compat" property, which was obsoleted
by commit 7843c0d60d and replaced by a "max-cpu-compat" property on the
pseries machine type. A hack was introduced so that passing "compat" to
-cpu would still produce the desired effect, for the sake of backward
compatibility : it strips the "compat" option from the CPU properties
and applies internally it to the pseries machine. The accessors of the
"compat" property were updated to do nothing but warn the user about the
deprecated status when doing something like:
$ qemu-system-ppc64 -global POWER9-family-powerpc64-cpu.compat=power9
qemu-system-ppc64: warning: CPU 'compat' property is deprecated and has no
effect; use max-cpu-compat machine property instead
This was merged during the QEMU 2.10 timeframe, a few weeks before we
formalized our deprecation process. As a consequence, the "compat"
property fell through the cracks and was never listed in the officialy
deprecated features.
We are now eight QEMU versions later, it is largely time to mention it
in qemu-deprecated.texi. Also, since -global XXX-powerpc64-cpu.compat=
has been emitting warnings since QEMU 2.10 and the usual way of setting
CPU properties is with -cpu, completely remove the "compat" property.
Keep the hack so that -cpu XXX,compat= stays functional some more time,
as required by our deprecation process.
The now empty powerpc_servercpu_properties[] list which was introduced
for "compat" and never had any other use is removed on the way. We can
re-add it in the future if the need for a server class POWER CPU specific
property arises again.

- Add the '-noTSX' variants for CascadeLake and SkyLake.
- Document the three MSR bits: 'mds-no', 'taa-no', and 'tsx-ctrl'
Two confusing things about 'mds-no' (and the first point applies to
the other two MSRs too):
(1) The 'mds-no' bit will _not_ show up in the guest's /proc/cpuinfo.
Rather it is used to fill in the guest's sysfs:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/mds:Not affected
Paolo confirmed on IRC as such.
(2) There are _three_ variants[+] of CascadeLake CPUs, with different
stepping levels: 5, 6, and 7. To quote wikichip.org[*]:
"note that while steppings 6 & 7 are fully mitigated, earlier
stepping 5 is not protected against MSBDS, MLPDS, nor MDSUM"
The above is also indicated in the Intel's document[+], as
indicated by "No" under the three columns of MFBDS, MSBDS, and
MLPDS.
I've expressed this in the docs without belabouring the details.

Description copied from Linux kernel commit from Gustavo A. R. Silva
(see [3]):
--v-- description start --v--
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to
declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible
array member [1], introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler
warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the
structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined
behavior bugs from being unadvertenly introduced [2] to the
Linux codebase from now on.
--^-- description end --^--
Do the similar housekeeping in the QEMU codebase (which uses
C99 since commit 7be41675f7).
All these instances of code were found with the help of the
following command (then manual analysis, without modifying
structures only having a single flexible array member, such
QEDTable in block/qed.h):
git grep -F '[0];'

The company 'Arm' went through a rebranding some years back
involving a recapitalization from 'ARM' to 'Arm'. As a result
our documentation is a bit inconsistent between the two forms.
It's not worth trying to update everywhere in QEMU, but it's
easy enough to make docs/ consistent.
Note that "ARMv8" and similar architecture names, and
older CPU names like "ARM926" still retain all-caps.

Currently the documentation for Arm system emulator targets is in a
single target-arm.rst. This describes only some of the boards and
often in a fairly abbreviated fashion. Restructure it so that each
board has its own documentation file in the docs/system/arm/
subdirectory.
This will hopefully encourage us to write board documentation that
describes the board in detail, rather than a few brief paragraphs
in a single long page. The table of contents should also help users
to find the board they care about faster.
Once the structure is in place we'll be able to move microvm.rst
from the top-level docs/ directory.
All the text from the old page is retained, except for the final
paragraph ("A Linux 2.6 test image is available on the QEMU web site.
More information is available in the QEMU mailing-list archive."),
which is deleted. The git history shows this was originally added
in reference to the integratorcp board (at that time the only
Arm board that was supported), and has subsequently gradually been
further and further separated from the integratorcp documentation
by the insertion of other board documentation sections. It's
extremely out of date and no longer accurate, since AFAICT there
isn't an integratorcp kernel on the website any more; so better
deleted than retained.

Now that qemu-doc.html is no longer present, the ordering of manuals
within the top-level index page looks a bit odd. Reshuffle so that
the manuals the user is most likely to be interested in are at the
top of the list, and the reference material is at the bottom.
Similarly, we reorder the index.rst file used as the base of
the "all manuals in one" documentation for readthedocs.
The new order is:
* system
* user
* tools
* interop
* specs
* QMP reference (if present)

we move the parts we want to put into both the HTML manuals

This commit contains hand-written fixes for some issues with the
autogenerated rST fragments in qemu-options.hx:
* Sphinx complains about the UTF-8 art table in the documentation of
the -drive option. Replace it with a proper rST format table.
* rST does not like definition list entries with no actual
definition, but it is possible to work around this by putting a
single escaped literal space as the definition line.
* The "-g widthxheight" option documentation suffers particularly
badly from losing the distinction between italics and fixed-width
as a result of the auto conversion, so put it back in again.
* The script missed some places that use the |qemu_system| etc
macros and need to be marked up as parsed-literal blocks.
* The script autogenerated an expanded out version of the
contents of qemu-option-trace.texi; replace it with an
qemu-option-trace.rst.inc include.
This is sufficient that we can enable inclusion of the
option documentation from invocation.rst.

The SPARC and PPC targets currently have a fragment of target-specific
information about the -g and -prom options which would be better placed
as part of the general documentation of those options in qemu-options.hx.
Move the relevant information to those locations.
SPARC also has a bit of text about the -M option which is out of
date and provides no useful information over the generic documentation
of that option, so just delete it.
The motivation here is again to avoid having to awkwardly include
this text into the rST version of the qemu.1 manpage.

Currently the per-target documentation for those targets that
implement semihosting includes a bit of text that goes into both the
manual and the manpage about options specific to the target. This
text is redundant with the earlier generic option description of the
semihosting option produced from qemu-options.hx. To avoid having
to create a lot of stub include files to include into the rST
generated qemu.1 manpage, roll target-specific bits of information
into the qemu-options.hx text, so the user doesn't have to look
in two places for this information.

Finucane on IRC for the suggestion to use rST "definition lists"
instead of bullets in some places.)
Further modifications will be done via a separate patch.

Rather than accumulating generally useful rST substitution

from qemu-block-drivers.rst.
Add a comment noting a pitfall where putting literal markup in the
definition of |qemu_system| makes it misrender manpage output; this
means the point-of-use must handle the literal markup (which is
almost always done by having it inside a parsed-literal block).
