The '-trace' and '--trace' spellings are only both supported in qemu
binary, while for qemu-nbd or qemu-img only '--trace' spelling is
supported. So for the consistency of trace option invocation, we
should use double-dash spelling in our documentation.
This's also mentioned in
https://wiki.qemu.org/BiteSizedTasks#Consistent_option_usage_in_documentation

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}

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 (%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

There's a common pattern in QEMU where a function needs to perform

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.

New option will be used to allow commands, which are prepared/need

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

Now that we can safely call QOBJECT() on QObject * as well as its
subtypes, we can have macros qobject_ref() / qobject_unref() that work
everywhere instead of having to use QINCREF() / QDECREF() for QObject
and qobject_incref() / qobject_decref() for its subtypes.
The replacement is mechanical, except I broke a long line, and added a
cast in monitor_qmp_cleanup_req_queue_locked(). Unlike
qobject_decref(), qobject_unref() doesn't accept void *.
Note that the new macros evaluate their argument exactly once, thus no
need to shout them.

Modify the pre_save method on VMStateDescription to return an int
rather than void so that it potentially can fail.
Changed zillions of devices to make them return 0; the only
case I've made it return non-0 is hw/intc/s390_flic_kvm.c that already
had an error_report/return case.
Note: If you add an error exit in your pre_save you must emit
an error_report to say why.

It's possible for address_space_get_flatview() as it currently stands
to cause a use-after-free for the returned FlatView, if the reference
count is incremented after the FlatView has been replaced by a writer:
thread 1 thread 2 RCU thread
-------------------------------------------------------------
rcu_read_lock
read as->current_map
set as->current_map
flatview_unref
'--> call_rcu
flatview_ref
[ref=1]
rcu_read_unlock
flatview_destroy
<badness>
Since FlatViews are not updated very often, we can just detect the
situation using a new atomic op atomic_fetch_inc_nonzero, similar to
Linux's atomic_inc_not_zero, which performs the refcount increment only if
it hasn't already hit zero. This is similar to Linux commit de09a9771a53
("CRED: Fix get_task_cred() and task_state() to not resurrect dead
credentials", 2010-07-29).
