This might be premature but while streamlining the avocado tests I
realised the only tests we have are "check-tcg" ones. The ageing
fedora-cris-cross image works well enough for developers but can't be
used in CI as we need supported build platforms to build QEMU.
Does this mean the writing is on the wall for this architecture?

As we've seen in the past, it's useful for deprecating old machine
types to finally be able to get of legacy code or do other clean-ups
(see e.g. commit ea985d235b that was used to drop the PCI code in
the 128k bios binaries to free some precious space in those binaries).
So let's continue deprecating the oldest pc machine types. QEMU 2.3
has been released 8 years ago, so that's plenty of time since such
machine types have been used by default, thus deprecating pc-i440fx-2.0
up to pc-i440fx-2.3 should be fine nowadays.

At this moment there are eleven CPU extension properties that starts
with capital 'Z': Zifencei, Zicsr, Zihintntl, Zihintpause, Zawrs, Zfa,
Zfh, Zfhmin, Zve32f, Zve64f and Zve64d. All other extensions are named
with lower-case letters.
We want all properties to be named with lower-case letters since it's
consistent with the riscv-isa string that we create in the FDT. Having
these 11 properties to be exceptions can be confusing.
Deprecate all of them. Create their lower-case counterpart to be used as
maintained CPU properties. When trying to use any deprecated property a
warning message will be displayed, recommending users to switch to the
lower-case variant:
./build/qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -cpu rv64,Zifencei=true --nographic
qemu-system-riscv64: warning: CPU property 'Zifencei' is deprecated. Please use 'zifencei' instead
This will give users some time to change their scripts before we remove
the capital 'Z' properties entirely.

The 'any' CPU type was introduced in commit dc5bd18fa5 ("RISC-V CPU
Core Definition"), being around since the beginning. It's not an easy
CPU to use: it's undocumented and its name doesn't tell users much about
what the CPU is supposed to bring. 'git log' doesn't help us either in
knowing what was the original design of this CPU type.
The closest we have is a comment from Alistair [1] where he recalls from
memory that the 'any' CPU is supposed to behave like the newly added
'max' CPU. He also suggested that the 'any' CPU should be removed.
The default CPUs are rv32 and rv64, so removing the 'any' CPU will have
impact only on users that might have a script that uses '-cpu any'.
And those users are better off using the default CPUs or the new 'max'
CPU.
We would love to just remove the code and be done with it, but one does
not simply remove a feature in QEMU. We'll put the CPU in quarantine
first, letting users know that we have the intent of removing it in the
future.

These have been deprecated for a long time, and the introduction of
-audio in 7.1.0 has cemented the new way of specifying an audio backend's
parameters. However, there is still a need for simple configuration
of the audio backend in the desktop case; therefore, if no audiodev is
passed to audio_init(), go through a bunch of simple Audiodev* structures
and pick the first that can be initialized successfully.
The only QEMU_AUDIO_* option that is left in, waiting for a better idea,
is QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none which is used by qtest.
Remove all the parsing code, including the concept of "can_be_default"
audio drivers: now that audio_prio_list[] is only used in a single place,
wav can be excluded directly in that function.

Revert "migration: do not sent zero pages in bulk stage"
Not sending zero pages breaks migration if a page is zero
at the source but not at the destination. This can e.g. happen
if different BIOS versions are used at source and destination.
It has also been reported that migration on pseries is completely
broken with this patch.

The existing [memdev] property has been deprecated and will default the
memory region to a persistent memory region (although a user may assign
the region to a ram or file backed region). It cannot be used in
combination with the new [persistent-memdev] property.
Partitioning volatile memory from persistent memory is not yet supported.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 3.8.10

FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16
FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.16
OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.16
Note: Our VM tests install 3.9 explicitly for FreeBSD and 3.10 for
NetBSD; the default for "python" or "python3" in FreeBSD is
3.9.16. NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but
offers several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. "python39"
appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request in
tests/vm/netbsd. pip, ensurepip and other Python essentials are
currently only available for Python 3.10 for NetBSD.
CentOS and OpenSUSE support parallel installation of multiple Python
interpreters, and binaries in /usr/bin will always use Python 3.6. However,
the newly introduced support for virtual environments ensures that all build
steps that execute QEMU Python code use a single interpreter.
Since it is safe to under our supported platform policy, bump our
minimum supported version of Python to 3.7.

Add new -run-with option with an async-teardown=on|off parameter. It is
visible in the output of query-command-line-options QMP command, so it
can be discovered and used by libvirt.
The option -async-teardown is now redundant, deprecate it.

In commit 5242876f37 we deprecated the dtb-kaslr-seed property of
the virt board, but forgot the "since n.n" tag in the documentation
of this in deprecated.rst.
This deprecation note first appeared in the 7.1 release, so
retrospectively add the correct "since 7.1" annotation to it.

The 'singlestep' member of StatusInfo has never done what the QMP
documentation claims it does. What it actually reports is whether
TCG is working in "one guest instruction per translation block" mode.
We no longer need this field for the HMP 'info status' command, as
we've moved that information to 'info jit'. It seems unlikely that
anybody is monitoring the state of this obscure TCG setting via QMP,
especially since QMP provides no means for changing the setting. So
simply deprecate the field, without providing any replacement.
Until we do eventually delete the member, correct the misstatements
in the QAPI documentation about it.
If we do find that there are users for this, then the most likely way
we would provide replacement access to the information would be to
put the accelerator QOM object at a well-known path such as
/machine/accel, which could then be used with the existing qom-set
and qom-get commands.

The 'singlestep' HMP command is confusing, because it doesn't
actually have anything to do with single-stepping the CPU. What it
does do is force TCG emulation to put one guest instruction in each
TB, which can be useful in some situations.
Create a new HMP command 'one-insn-per-tb', so we can document that
'singlestep' is just a deprecated synonym for it, and eventually
perhaps drop it.
We aren't obliged to do deprecate-and-drop for HMP commands,
but it's easy enough to do so, so we do.

Document that the -singlestep command line option is now
deprecated, as it is replaced by either the TCG accelerator
property 'one-insn-per-tb' for system emulation or the new
'-one-insn-per-tb' option for usermode emulation, and remove
the only use of the deprecated syntax from a README.

This reverts commit 1d0a8eba38.
The commit made the wrong assumption that 64-bit distros are most
common these days on arm devices, but as Liviu Ionescu pointed out,
the recommended OS for the very popular Raspberry Pi boards is still
the 32-bit variant, and thus likely still used by a lot of people:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/
Thus it's likely still a little bit too early to put this host
environment on the deprecation list and we should wait a little
bit longer 'til 64-bit distros are the predominant ones.

For running QEMU in system emulation mode, the user needs a rather
strong host system, i.e. not only an embedded low-frequency controller.
All recent beefy arm host machines should support 64-bit now, it's
unlikely that anybody is still seriously using QEMU on a 32-bit arm
CPU, so we deprecate the 32-bit arm hosts here to finally save use
some time and precious CI minutes.
