Similarly to features for struct types introduce the feature flags also
for commands. This will allow notifying management layers of fixes and
compatible changes in the behaviour of a command which may not be
detectable any other way.
The changes were heavily inspired by commit 6a8c0b5102.

Hyper-V TLFS specifies this enlightenment as:
"NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing - Indicates that a virtual processor will never
share a physical core with another virtual processor, except for virtual
processors that are reported as sibling SMT threads. This can be used as an
optimization to avoid the performance overhead of STIBP".
However, STIBP is not the only implication. It was found that Hyper-V on
KVM doesn't pass MD_CLEAR bit to its guests if it doesn't see
NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing bit.
KVM reports NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_HV_CPUID to
indicate that SMT on the host is impossible (not supported of forcefully
disabled).
Implement NoNonArchitecturalCoreSharing support in QEMU as tristate:
'off' - the feature is disabled (default)
'on' - the feature is enabled. This is only safe if vCPUS are properly
pinned and correct topology is exposed. As CPU pinning is done outside
of QEMU the enablement decision will be made on a higher level.
'auto' - copy KVM setting. As during live migration SMT settings on the
source and destination host may differ this requires us to add a migration
blocker.

We represent the parse tree as OrderedDict. We fetch optional dict
members with .get(). So far, so good.
We represent null literals as None. .get() returns None both for
"absent" and for "present, value is the null literal". Uh-oh.
Test features-if-invalid exposes this bug: "'if': null" is
misinterpreted as absent "if".
We added null to the schema language to "allow [...] an explicit
default value" (commit e53188ada5 "qapi: Allow true, false and null in
schema json", v2.4.0). Hasn't happened; null is still unused except
as generic invalid value in tests/.
To fix, we'd have to replace .get() by something more careful, or
represent null differently. Feasible, but we got more and bigger fish
to fry right now. Remove the null literal from the schema language.
Replace null in tests by another invalid value.
Test features-if-invalid now behaves as it should.

We document the language by giving patterns of valid JSON objects.
The patterns contain placeholders we don't define anywhere; their
names have to speak for themselves. I guess they do, but I'd prefer a
bit more rigor. Provide a grammar instead, and rework the text
accordingly.
Documentation for QAPI schema conditionals (commit 967c885108,
6cc32b0e14, 87adbbffd4..3e270dcacc) and feature flags (commit
6a8c0b5102) was bolted on. The sections documenting types, commands
and events don't mention them. Section "Features" and "Configuring
the schema" then provide additional syntax for types, commands and
events. I hate that. Fix the sections documenting types, commands
and events to provide accurate syntax, and point to "Features" and
"Configuring the schema" for details.
We talk about "(top-level) expressions other than include and pragma".
Adopt more convenient terminology: a (top-level) expression is either
a directive (include or pragma) or a definition (anything else).
Avoid the terms "dictionary" and "key". Stick to JSON terminology
"object" and "member name" instead.
While there, make spacing more consistent.

[Squash in paragraph on invisible schema changes, as per Eric's review]
Section "QMP/Guest agent schema" starts with a brief introduction,
then subsection "Comments", then subsection "Schema overview" (more
elaborate introduction), and only then talks about schema entities
like types, commands, and so forth.
Subsection "Comments" is long and tiring: almost 500 words, mostly
about doc comments. Move the doc comment part to its own subsection
"Documentation comments" at the very end of "QMP/Guest agent schema".
Subsection "Schema overview" explains naming rules at considerable
length: 250 words. Move this part to its own subsection "Naming rules
and reserved names" right after the subsections on schema entities.
Subsection "Enumeration types" is wedged between "Struct types" and
"Union types". Move it before "Struct types".

Commands and events can define their argument type inline (default) or
by referring to another type ('boxed': true, since commit c818408e44
"qapi: Implement boxed types for commands/events", v2.7.0). The
unboxed inline definition is an (anonymous) struct type. The boxed
type may be a struct, union, or alternate type.
The latter is problematic: docs/interop/qemu-spec.txt requires the
value of the 'data' key to be a json-object, but any non-degenerate
alternate type has at least one branch that isn't.
Fortunately, we haven't made use of alternates in this context outside
tests/. Drop support for them.

This allows to receive mouse and keyboard events from
a Barrier server.
This is enabled by adding the following parameter on the
command line
... -object input-barrier,id=$id,name=$name ...
Where $name is the name declared in the screens section of barrier.conf
The barrier server (barriers) must be configured and must run on the
local host.
For instance:
section: screens
localhost:
...
VM-1:
...
end
section: links
localhost:
right = VM-1
VM-1:
left = localhost
end
Then on the QEMU command line:
... -object input-barrier,id=barrie0,name=VM-1 ...
When the mouse will move out of the screen of the local host on
the right, the mouse and the keyboard will be grabbed and all
related events will be send to the guest OS.
This is usefull when qemu is configured without emulated graphic card
but with a VFIO attached graphic card.
More information about Barrier can be found at:
https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
This avoids to install the Barrier server in the guest OS,
for instance when it is not supported or during the installation.

Commit fe0480d6 and friends added BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK as a way to
avoid wasting time on a preliminary write-zero request that will later
be rewritten by actual data, if it is known that the write-zero
request will use a slow fallback; but in doing so, could not optimize
for NBD. The NBD specification is now considering an extension that
will allow passing on those semantics; this patch updates the new
protocol bits and 'qemu-nbd --list' output to recognize the bit, as
well as the new errno value possible when using the new flag; while
upcoming patches will improve the client to use the feature when
present, and the server to advertise support for it.
The NBD spec recommends (but not requires) that ENOTSUP be avoided for
all but failures of a fast zero (the only time it is mandatory to
avoid an ENOTSUP failure is when fast zero is supported but not
requested during write zeroes; the questionable use is for ENOTSUP to
other actions like a normal write request). However, clients that get
an unexpected ENOTSUP will either already be treating it the same as
EINVAL, or may appreciate the extra bit of information. We were
equally loose for returning EOVERFLOW in more situations than
recommended by the spec, so if it turns out to be a problem in
practice, a later patch can tighten handling for both error codes.

[eblake: tweak commit message, also handle EOPNOTSUPP]
The NBD specification defines NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, which can be
advertised when the server promises cache consistency between
simultaneous clients (basically, rules that determine what FUA and
flush from one client are able to guarantee for reads from another
client). When we don't permit simultaneous clients (such as qemu-nbd
without -e), the bit makes no sense; and for writable images, we
probably have a lot more work before we can declare that actions from
one client are cache-consistent with actions from another. But for
read-only images, where flush isn't changing any data, we might as
well advertise multi-conn support. What's more, advertisement of the
bit makes it easier for clients to determine if 'qemu-nbd -e' was in
use, where a second connection will succeed rather than hang until the
first client goes away.
This patch affects qemu as server in advertising the bit. We may want
to consider patches to qemu as client to attempt parallel connections
for higher throughput by spreading the load over those connections
when a server advertises multi-conn, but for now sticking to one
connection per nbd:// BDS is okay.

In our documentation, we use a mix of "$QEMU", "qemu-system-i386" and
"qemu-system-x86_64" when we give examples to the users how to run
QEMU. Some more consistency would be good here. Also some distributions
use different names for the QEMU binary (e.g. "qemu-kvm" in RHEL), so
providing more flexibility here would also be good. Thus let's define
some variables for the names of the QEMU command and use those in the
documentation instead: @value{qemu_system} for generic examples, and
@value{qemu_system_x86} for examples that only work with the x86
binaries.

When preallocating an encrypted qcow2 image, it just lets the protocol
driver write data and then does not mark the clusters as zero.
Therefore, reading this image will yield effectively random data.
As such, we have not fulfilled the promise of always writing zeroes when
preallocating an image in a while. It seems that nobody has really
cared, so change the documentation to conform to qemu's actual behavior.

docs: clarify multiqueue vs multiple virtqueues
Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
The vhost-user specification does not explain when
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ must be implemented. This may lead
implementors of vhost-user masters to believe that this protocol feature
is required for any device that has multiple virtqueues. That would be
a mistake since existing vhost-user slaves offer multiple virtqueues but
do not advertise VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ.
For example, a vhost-net device with one rx/tx queue pair is not
multiqueue. The slave does not need to advertise
VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_MQ. Therefore the master must assume it has these
virtqueues and cannot rely on askingt the slave how many virtqueues
exist.
Extend the specification to explain the different between true
multiqueue and regular devices with a fixed virtqueue layout.

A supposed exploit of QEMU was recently announced as CVE-2019-12928
claiming that the monitor console was insecure because the "migrate"
command enabled arbitrary command execution for a remote attacker.
To be a security risk the user launching QEMU must have configured
the monitor in a way that allows for other users to access it. The
exploit report quoted use of the "tcp" character device backend for
QMP.
This would indeed allow any network user to connect to QEMU and
execute arbitrary commands, however, this is not a flaw in QEMU.
It is the normal expected behaviour of the monitor console and the
commands it supports. Given a monitor connection, there are many
ways to access host file system content besides the migrate command.
The reality is that the monitor console (whether QMP or HMP) is
considered a privileged interface to QEMU and as such must only
be made available to trusted users. IOW, making it available with
no authentication over TCP is simply a, very serious, user
configuration error not a security flaw in QEMU itself.
The one thing this bogus security report highlights though is that
we have not clearly documented the security implications around the
use of the monitor. Add a few paragraphs of text to the security
docs explaining why the monitor is a privileged interface and making
a recommendation to only use the UNIX socket character device backend.

The annotated style json we use in QMP documentation is not strict json
and depending on the version of Sphinx (2.0+) or Pygments installed,
might cause the build to fail.
Use the new QMP lexer.
Further, some versions of Sphinx can not apply custom lexers to "code"
directives and require the use of "code-block" directives instead, so
make that change at this time as well.
Tested under:

Sphinx, through Pygments, does not like annotated json examples very
much. In some versions of Sphinx (1.7), it will render the non-json
portions of code blocks in red, but in newer versions (2.0) it will
throw an exception and not highlight the block at all. Though we can
suppress this warning, it doesn't bring back highlighting on non-strict
json blocks.
We can alleviate this by creating a custom lexer for QMP examples that
allows us to properly highlight these examples in a robust way, keeping
our directionality and elision notations.

The "Multiple queue support" section makes references to vhost-user-net
"queue pairs". This is confusing for two reasons:
1. This actually applies to all device types, not just vhost-user-net.
2. VHOST_USER_GET_QUEUE_NUM returns the number of virtqueues, not the
number of queue pairs.
Reword the section so that the vhost-user-net specific part is relegated
to the very end: we acknowledge that vhost-user-net historically
automatically enabled the first queue pair.

Older KVMs on POWER9 don't support destroying/recreating a KVM XICS
device, which is required by 'dual' interrupt controller mode. This
causes QEMU to emit a warning when the guest is rebooted and to fall
back on XICS emulation:
qemu-system-ppc64: warning: kernel_irqchip allowed but unavailable:
Error on KVM_CREATE_DEVICE for XICS: File exists
If kernel irqchip is required, QEMU will thus exit when the guest is
first rebooted. Failing QEMU this late may be a painful experience
for the user.
Detect that and exit at machine init instead.

Rewrite the implementation of the ssh block driver to use libssh instead
of libssh2. The libssh library has various advantages over libssh2:
- easier API for authentication (for example for using ssh-agent)
- easier API for known_hosts handling
- supports newer types of keys in known_hosts
Use APIs/features available in libssh 0.8 conditionally, to support
older versions (which are not recommended though).
Adjust the iotest 207 according to the different error message, and to
find the default key type for localhost (to properly compare the

Sometimes, the behaviour of QEMU changes without a change in the QMP
syntax (usually by allowing values or operations that previously
resulted in an error). QMP clients may still need to know whether
they can rely on the changed behavior.
Let's add feature flags to the QAPI schema language, so that we can make
such changes visible with schema introspection.
An example for a schema definition using feature flags looks like this:
{ 'struct': 'TestType',
'data': { 'number': 'int' },
'features': [ 'allow-negative-numbers' ] }
Introspection information then looks like this:
{ "name": "TestType", "meta-type": "object",
"members": [
{ "name": "number", "type": "int" } ],
"features": [ "allow-negative-numbers" ] }
This patch implements feature flags only for struct types. We'll
implement them more widely as needed.

Add a new vhost-user message to give a unix socket to a vhost-user
backend for GPU display updates.
Back when I started that work, I added a new GPU channel because the
vhost-user protocol wasn't bidirectional. Since then, there is a
vhost-user-slave channel for the slave to send requests to the master.
We could extend it with GPU messages. However, the GPU protocol is
quite orthogonal to vhost-user, thus I chose to have a new dedicated
channel.
See vhost-user-gpu.rst for the protocol details.

A test can, optionally, be tagged for one or many architectures. If a
test has been tagged for a single architecture, there's a high chance
that the test won't run on other architectures. This changes the
default order of choosing a default target architecture to use based
on the 'arch' tag value first.
The precedence order is for choosing a QEMU binary to use for a test
is now:
* qemu_bin parameter
* arch parameter
* arch tag value (for example, x86_64 if "🥑 tags=arch:x86_64
is used)
This means that if one runs:
$ avocado run -p qemu_bin=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 test.py
No arch parameter or tag will influence the selection of the QEMU
target binary. If one runs:
$ avocado run -p arch=ppc64 test.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64". And finally, if one runs
a test that is tagged (in its docstring) with "arch:aarch64":
$ avocado run aarch64.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64".
At this time, no provision is made to cancel the execution of tests if
the arch parameter given (manually) does not match the test "arch"
tag, but it may be a useful default behavior to be added in the
future.

It's useful to define the architecture that should be used in
situations such as:
* the intended target of the QEMU binary to be used on tests
* the architecture of code to be run within the QEMU binary, such
as a kernel image or a full blown guest OS image
This commit introduces both a test parameter and a test instance
attribute, that will contain such a value.
Now, when the "arch" test parameter is given, it will influence the
selection of the default QEMU binary, if one is not given explicitly
by means of the "qemu_img" parameter.

When a file supporting DAX is used as vNVDIMM backend, mmap it with
MAP_SYNC flag in addition which can ensure file system metadata
synced in each guest writes to the backend file, without other QEMU
actions (e.g., periodic fsync() by QEMU).
Current, We have below different possible use cases:
1. pmem=on is set, shared=on is set, MAP_SYNC supported:
a: backend is a dax supporting file.
- MAP_SYNC will active.
b: backend is not a dax supporting file.
- mmap will trigger a warning. then MAP_SYNC flag will be ignored
2. The rest of cases:
- we will never pass the MAP_SYNC to mmap2

While the stibp CPU feature is not commonly used by guest OS for spectre
mitigation due to its performance impact, it is none the less best
practice to expose it to all guest OS. This allows the guest OS to
decide whether to make use or it.

The docs currently say that the spec-ctrl feature is needed for both
Spectre variants, but it is only used to address Spectre v2. Also
remove the note about retpolines. The guest OS is usually treated
as a blackbox from host mgmt pov, so it won't have knowledge about
use of retpolines and thus should unconditionally expose spec-ctrl,
allowing the guest to decide whether to use it or not.

This patch introduces two new messages VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD
and VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD to support transferring a shared
buffer between qemu and backend.
Firstly, qemu uses VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD to get the
shared buffer from backend. Then qemu should send it back
through VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD each time we start vhost-user.
This shared buffer is used to track inflight I/O by backend.
Qemu should retrieve a new one when vm reset.

We already use (we didn't notice it) IN_USE flag for marking bitmap
metadata outdated, such as AUTO flag, which mirrors enabled/disabled
bitmaps. Now we are going to support bitmap resize, so it's good to
write IN_USE meaning with more details.
