2015-05-05qapi: Document 'struct' metatypeEric Blake1-29/+29
Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union, alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing. Now that the generator accepts 'struct' as a synonym for 'type', update all documentation to use saner wording.

2015-05-05qapi: Document new 'alternate' meta-typeEric Blake1-21/+36
The next patch will quit special-casing "'union':'Foo', 'discriminator':{}" and instead use "'alternate':'Foo'". Separating docs from implementation makes it easier to focus on wording without holding up code. In particular, making alternate a separate type makes for a nice type hierarchy: /-------- meta-type ------\ / | \ simple types alternate complex types | | | | built-in enum type(struct) union | \ / / \ numeric string simple flat A later patch will then clean up 'type' vs. 'struct' confusion.

2015-05-05qapi: Add copyright declaration on docsEric Blake2-0/+16
While our top-level COPYING with its GPLv2+ license applies to any documentation file that omits explicit instructions, these days it's better to be a good example of calling out our intentions. Correct use of GPL requires the use of a copyright statement, so I'm adding notice to two QAPI documents, by attributing these files to the initial authors and major contributors. I used: $ git blame --line-porcelain $file \ | sed -n 's/^author //p' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn to determine authorship of these two files. qmp-spec.txt blames entirely to Red Hat (easy, since my contribution falls in that category); while qapi-code-gen.txt has multiple contributors representing multiple entities. But since it was originally supplied by Michael Roth, the notice I added there copies the notice he has used in other files. As there is no intended change in license from the implicit one previously present from the top level, I have not bothered to CC other contributors; if we want to weaken things to something looser (such as LGPL) so that there is no question that someone re-implementing the spec is not forced to use GPL, that would be a different commit.

2015-02-02rcu: add rcu libraryPaolo Bonzini1-0/+285
This includes a (mangled) copy of the liburcu code. The main changes are: 1) removing dependencies on many other header files in liburcu; 2) removing for simplicity the tentative busy waiting in synchronize_rcu, which has limited performance effects; 3) replacing futexes in synchronize_rcu with QemuEvents for Win32 portability. The API is the same as liburcu, so it should be possible in the future to require liburcu on POSIX systems for example and use our copy only on Windows. Among the various versions available I chose urcu-mb, which is the least invasive implementation even though it does not have the fastest rcu_read_{lock,unlock} implementation. The urcu flavor can be changed later, after benchmarking. Reviewed-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
