Section "QGA Synchronization" specifies that sending "a raw 0xFF
sentinel byte" makes the server "reset its state and discard all
pending data prior to the sentinel." What actually happens there is a
lexical error, which will produce one or more error responses.
Moreover, it's not specific to QGA.
Create new section "Forcing the JSON parser into known-good state" to
document the technique properly. Rewrite section "QGA
Synchronization" to document just the other direction, i.e. command
guest-sync-delimited.
Section "Protocol Specification" mentions "synchronization bytes
(documented below)". Delete that.
While there, fix it not to claim '"Server" is QEMU itself', but
'"Server" is either QEMU or the QEMU Guest Agent'.

When QEMU emulates vNVDIMM labels and migrates vNVDIMM devices, it
needs to know whether the backend storage is a real persistent memory,
in order to decide whether special operations should be performed to
ensure the data persistence.
This boolean option 'pmem' allows users to specify whether the backend
storage of memory-backend-file is a real persistent memory. If
'pmem=on', QEMU will set the flag RAM_PMEM in the RAM block of the
corresponding memory region. If 'pmem' is set while lack of libpmem
support, a error is generated.

Commit cf869d5317 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" added a
general mechanism for command-independent arguments just for an
out-of-band flag:
The "control" key is introduced to store this extra flag. "control"
field is used to store arguments that are shared by all the commands,
rather than command specific arguments. Let "run-oob" be the first.
However, it failed to reject unknown members of "control". For
instance, in QMP command
{"execute": "query-name", "id": 42, "control": {"crap": true}}
"crap" gets silently ignored.
Instead of fixing this, revert the general "control" mechanism
(because YAGNI), and do it the way I initially proposed, with key
"exec-oob". Simpler code, simpler interface.
An out-of-band command
{"execute": "migrate-pause", "id": 42, "control": {"run-oob": true}}
becomes
{"exec-oob": "migrate-pause", "id": 42}

Commit cf869d5317 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" made
"id" mandatory for all commands when the client accepted capability
"oob". This is rather onerous when you play with QMP by hand, and
unnecessarily so: only out-of-band commands need an ID for reliable
matching of response to command.
Revert that part of commit cf869d5317 for now, but have documentation
advise on the need to use "id" with out-of-band commands.

It often happens that just a few discriminator values imply extra data in
a flat union. Existing checks did not make possible to leave other values
uncovered. Such cases had to be worked around by either stating a dummy
(empty) type or introducing another (subset) discriminator enumeration.
Both options create redundant entities in qapi files for little profit.
With this patch it is not necessary anymore to add designated union
fields for every possible value of a discriminator enumeration.

Use mmap_lock in user-mode to protect TCG state and the page descriptors.
In !user-mode, each vCPU has its own TCG state, so no locks needed.
Per-page locks are used to protect the page descriptors.
Per-TB locks are used in both modes to protect TB jumps.
Some notes:
- tb_lock is removed from notdirty_mem_write by passing a
locked page_collection to tb_invalidate_phys_page_fast.
- tcg_tb_lookup/remove/insert/etc have their own internal lock(s),
so there is no need to further serialize access to them.
- do_tb_flush is run in a safe async context, meaning no other
vCPU threads are running. Therefore acquiring mmap_lock there
is just to please tools such as thread sanitizer.
- Not visible in the diff, but tb_invalidate_phys_page already
has an assert_memory_lock.
- cpu_io_recompile is !user-only, so no mmap_lock there.
- Added mmap_unlock()'s before all siglongjmp's that could
be called in user-mode while mmap_lock is held.
+ Added an assert for !have_mmap_lock() after returning from
the longjmp in cpu_exec, just like we do in cpu_exec_step_atomic.

This applies to both user-mode and !user-mode emulation.
Instead of relying on a global lock, protect the list of incoming
jumps with tb->jmp_lock. This lock also protects tb->cflags,
so update all tb->cflags readers outside tb->jmp_lock to use
atomic reads via tb_cflags().
In order to find the destination TB (and therefore its jmp_lock)
from the origin TB, we introduce tb->jmp_dest[].
I considered not using a linked list of jumps, which simplifies
code and makes the struct smaller. However, it unnecessarily increases
memory usage, which results in a performance decrease. See for
instance these numbers booting+shutting down debian-arm:
Time (s) Rel. err (%) Abs. err (s) Rel. slowdown (%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
before 20.88 0.74 0.154512 0.
after 20.81 0.38 0.079078 -0.33524904
GTree 21.02 0.28 0.058856 0.67049808
GHashTable + xxhash 21.63 1.08 0.233604 3.5919540
Using a hash table or a binary tree to keep track of the jumps
doesn't really pay off, not only due to the increased memory usage,
but also because most TBs have only 0 or 1 jumps to them. The maximum
number of jumps when booting debian-arm that I measured is 35, but
as we can see in the histogram below a TB with that many incoming jumps
is extremely rare; the average TB has 0.80 incoming jumps.
n_jumps: 379208; avg jumps/tb: 0.801099

Use the recently-gained QHT feature of returning the matching TB if it

There's a common pattern in QEMU where a function needs to perform
a data load or store of an N byte integer in a particular endianness.
At the moment this is handled by doing a switch() on the size and
calling the appropriate ld*_p or st*_p function for each size.
Provide a new family of functions ldn_*_p() and stn_*_p() which
take the size as an argument and do the switch() themselves.

Add a schema that describes the different uses and properties of virtual
machine firmware.
Each firmware executable installed on a host system should come with at
least one JSON file that conforms to this schema. Each file informs the
management applications about
- the firmware's properties and one possible use case / feature set,
- configuration bits that are required to run the firmware binary.
In addition, define rules for management apps for picking the highest
priority firmware JSON file when multiple such files match the search
criteria.

New option will be used to allow commands, which are prepared/need
to run, during preconfig state. Other commands that should be able
to run in preconfig state, should be amended to not expect machine
in initialized state or deal with it.
For compatibility reasons, commands that don't use new flag
'allow-preconfig' explicitly are not permitted to run in
preconfig state but allowed in all other states like they used
to be.
Within this patch allow following commands in preconfig state:
qmp_capabilities
query-qmp-schema
query-commands
query-command-line-options
query-status
exit-preconfig
to allow qmp connection, basic introspection and moving to the next
state.
PS:
set-numa-node and query-hotpluggable-cpus will be enabled later in
a separate patches.
