2016-02-22spec: add qcow2 bitmaps extension specificationVladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy1-1/+220
The new feature for qcow2: storing bitmaps. This patch adds new header extension to qcow2 - Bitmaps Extension. It provides an ability to store virtual disk related bitmaps in a qcow2 image. For now there is only one type of such bitmaps: Dirty Tracking Bitmap, which just tracks virtual disk changes from some moment. Note: Only bitmaps, relative to the virtual disk, stored in qcow2 file, should be stored in this qcow2 file. The size of each bitmap (considering its granularity) is equal to virtual disk size.

2016-02-19qapi: Forbid empty unions and useless alternatesEric Blake1-7/+8
Empty unions serve no purpose, and while we compile with gcc which permits them, strict C99 forbids them. We happen to inject a dummy 'void *data' member into the C unions that represent QAPI unions and alternates, but we want to get rid of that member (it pollutes the namespace for no good reason), which would leave us with an empty union if the user didn't provide any branches. While empty structs make sense in QAPI, empty unions don't add any expressiveness to the QMP language. So prohibit them at parse time. Update the documentation and testsuite to match. Note that the documentation already mentioned that alternates should have "two or more JSON data types"; so this also fixes the code to enforce that. However, we have existing uses of a union type with only one branch, so the 2-or-more strictness is intentionally limited to alternates.

2015-12-17qapi: Simplify visiting of alternate typesEric Blake1-3/+0
Previously, working with alternates required two lookup arrays and some indirection: for type Foo, we created Foo_qtypes[] which maps each qtype to a value of the generated FooKind enum, then look up that value in FooKind_lookup[] like we do for other union types. This has a couple of subtle bugs. First, the generator was creating a call with a parameter '(int *) &(*obj)->type' where type is an enum type; this is unsafe if the compiler chooses to store the enum type in a different size than int, where assigning through the wrong size pointer can corrupt data or cause a SIGBUS. Related bug, not not fixed in this patch: qapi-visit.py's gen_visit_enum() generates a cast of its enum * argument to int *. Marked FIXME. Second, since the values of the FooKind enum start at zero, all entries of the Foo_qtypes[] array that were not explicitly initialized will map to the same branch of the union as the first member of the alternate, rather than triggering a desired failure in visit_get_next_type(). Fortunately, the bug seldom bites; the very next thing the input visitor does is try to parse the incoming JSON with the wrong parser, which normally fails; the output visitor is not used with a C struct in that state, and the dealloc visitor has nothing to clean up (so there is no leak). However, the second bug IS observable in one case: parsing an integer causes unusual behavior in an alternate that contains at least a 'number' member but no 'int' member, because the 'number' parser accepts QTYPE_QINT in addition to the expected QTYPE_QFLOAT (that is, since 'int' is not a member, the type QTYPE_QINT accidentally maps to FooKind 0; if this enum value is the 'number' branch the integer parses successfully, but if the 'number' branch is not first, some other branch tries to parse the integer and rejects it). A later patch will worry about fixing alternates to always parse all inputs that a non-alternate 'number' would accept, for now this is still marked FIXME in the updated test-qmp-input-visitor.c, to merely point out that new undesired behavior of 'ans' matches the existing undesired behavior of 'asn'. This patch fixes the default-initialization bug by deleting the indirection, and modifying get_next_type() to directly assign a QTypeCode parameter. This in turn fixes the type-casting bug, as we are no longer casting a pointer to enum to a questionable size. There is no longer a need to generate an implicit FooKind enum associated with the alternate type (since the QMP wire format never uses the stringized counterparts of the C union member names). Since the updated visit_get_next_type() does not know which qtypes are expected, the generated visitor is modified to generate an error statement if an unexpected type is encountered. Callers now have to know the QTYPE_* mapping when looking at the discriminator; but so far, only the testsuite was even using the C struct of an alternate types. I considered the possibility of keeping the internal enum FooKind, but initialized differently than most generated arrays, as in: typedef enum FooKind { FOO_KIND_A = QTYPE_QDICT, FOO_KIND_B = QTYPE_QINT, } FooKind; to create nicer aliases for knowing when to use foo->a or foo->b when inspecting foo->type; but it turned out to add too much complexity, especially without a client. There is a user-visible side effect to this change, but I consider it to be an improvement. Previously, the invalid QMP command: {"execute":"blockdev-add", "arguments":{"options": {"driver":"raw", "id":"a", "file":true}}} failed with: {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'file', expected: QDict"}} (visit_get_next_type() succeeded, and the error comes from the visit_type_BlockdevOptions() expecting {}; there is no mention of the fact that a string would also work). Now it fails with: {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'file', expected: BlockdevRef"}} (the error when the next type doesn't match any expected types for the overall alternate).

2015-12-17qapi: Convert QType into QAPI built-in enum typeEric Blake1-0/+1
What's more meta than using qapi to define qapi? :) Convert QType into a full-fledged[*] builtin qapi enum type, so that a subsequent patch can then use it as the discriminator type of qapi alternate types. Fortunately, the judicious use of 'prefix' in the qapi definition avoids churn to the spelling of the enum constants. To avoid circular definitions, we have to flip the order of inclusion between "qobject.h" vs. "qapi-types.h". Back in commit 28770e0, we had the latter include the former, so that we could use 'QObject *' for our implementation of 'any'. But that usage also works with only a forward declaration, whereas the definition of QObject requires QType to be a complete type. [*] The type has to be builtin, rather than declared in qapi/common.json, because we want to use it for alternates even when common.json is not included. But since it is the first builtin enum type, we have to add special cases to qapi-types and qapi-visit to only emit definitions once, even when two qapi files are being compiled into the same binary (the way we already handled builtin list types like 'intList'). We may need to revisit how multiple qapi files share common types, but that's a project for another day.

2015-12-17qapi: Don't let implicit enum MAX member collideEric Blake1-2/+2
Now that we guarantee the user doesn't have any enum values beginning with a single underscore, we can use that for our own purposes. Renaming ENUM_MAX to ENUM__MAX makes it obvious that the sentinel is generated. This patch was mostly generated by applying a temporary patch: |diff --git a/scripts/qapi.py b/scripts/qapi.py |index e6d014b..b862ec9 100644 |--- a/scripts/qapi.py |+++ b/scripts/qapi.py |@@ -1570,6 +1570,7 @@ const char *const %(c_name)s_lookup[] = { | max_index = c_enum_const(name, 'MAX', prefix) | ret += mcgen(''' | [%(max_index)s] = NULL, |+// %(max_index)s | }; | ''', | max_index=max_index) then running: $ cat qapi-{types,event}.c tests/test-qapi-types.c | sed -n 's,^// \(.*\)MAX,s|\1MAX|\1_MAX|g,p' > list $ git grep -l _MAX | xargs sed -i -f list The only things not generated are the changes in scripts/qapi.py.

2015-12-17qapi: Tighten the regex on valid namesEric Blake1-11/+11
We already documented that qapi names should match specific patterns (such as starting with a letter unless it was an enum value or a downstream extension). Tighten that from a suggestion into a hard requirement, which frees up names beginning with a single underscore for qapi internal usage. The tighter regex doesn't forbid everything insane that a user could provide (for example, a user could name a type 'Foo-lookup' to collide with the generated 'Foo_lookup[]' for an enum 'Foo'), but does a good job at protecting the most obvious uses, and also happens to reserve single leading underscore for later use. The handling of enum values starting with a digit is tricky: commit 9fb081e introduced a subtle bug by using c_name() on a munged value, which would allow an enum to include the member 'q-int' in spite of our reservation. Furthermore, munging with a leading '_' would fail our tighter regex. So fix it by only munging for leading digits (which are never ticklish in c_name()) and by using a different prefix (I picked 'D', although any letter should do). Add new tests, reserved-member-underscore and reserved-enum-q, to demonstrate the tighter checking.

Now that we can specify a qapi enum prefix, we don't even have to change the bulk of the uses. get_event_by_name() could perhaps be replaced by qapi_enum_parse(), but I left that for another day.

2015-11-10qapi-introspect: Document lack of sortingEric Blake1-4/+15
qapi-code-gen.txt already claims that types, commands, and events share a common namespace; set this in stone by further documenting that our introspection output will never have collisions with the same name tied to more than one meta-type. Our largest QMP enum currently has 125 values, our largest object type has 27 members, and the mean for each is less than 10. These sizes are small enough that the per-element overhead of O(log n) binary searching probably outweighs the speed possible with direct O(n) linear searching (a better algorithm with more overhead will only beat a leaner naive algorithm only as you scale to larger input sizes). Arguably, the overall SchemaInfo array could be sorted by name; there, we currently have 531 entities, large enough for a binary search to be faster than linear. However, remember that we have mutually-recursive types, which means there is no topological ordering that will allow clients to learn all information about that type in a single linear pass; thus clients will want to do random access over the data, and they will probably read the introspection output into a hashtable for O(1) lookup rather than O(log n) binary searching, at which point, pre-sorting our introspection output doesn't help the client. It doesn't help that sorting can be subjective if you introduce locales into the mix (I'm not experienced enough with Python to know for sure, but at least it looks like it defaults to sorting in the C locale even when run under a different locale). And while our current introspection output is deterministic (because we visit entities in a sorted order), we may want to change that order in the future (such as using OrderedDict to stick to .json declaration order). For these reasons, we simply document that clients should not rely on any particular order of items in introspection output. And since it is now a documented part of the contract, we have the freedom to later rearrange output if needed, without worrying about breaking well-written clients.

2015-11-10qapi: Provide nicer array names in introspectionEric Blake1-2/+5
For the sake of humans reading introspection output, it is nice to have the name of implicit array types be recognizable as arrays of the underlying type. However, while this patch allows humans to skip from a command with return type "[123]" straight to the definition of type "123" without having to first inspect type "[123]", document that this shortcut should not be taken by client apps. This makes the resulting introspection string slightly larger by default (just over 200 bytes), but it's in the noise (less than 0.3% of the overall 70k size of 'query-qmp-capabilities').

2015-11-02qapi: Reserve 'q_*' and 'has_*' member namesEric Blake1-4/+7
c_name() produces names starting with 'q_' when protecting a dictionary member name that would fail to directly compile, but in doing so can cause clashes with any member name already beginning with 'q-' or 'q_'. Likewise, we create a C name 'has_' for any optional member that can clash with any member name beginning with 'has-' or 'has_'. Technically, rather than blindly reserving the namespace, we could try to complain about user names only when an actual collision occurs, or even teach c_name() how to munge names to avoid collisions. But it is not trivial, especially when collisions can occur across multiple types (such as via inheritance or flat unions). Besides, no existing .json files are trying to use these names. So it's easier to just outright forbid the potential for collision. We can always relax things in the future if a real need arises for QMP to express member names that have been forbidden here. 'has_' only has to be reserved for struct/union member names, while 'q_' is reserved everywhere (matching the fact that only members can be optional, while we use c_name() for munging both members and entities). Note that we could relax 'q_' restrictions on entities independently from member names; for example, c_name('qmp_' + 'unix') would result in a different function name than our current 'qmp_' + c_name('unix'). Update and add tests to cover the new error messages.

2015-11-02qapi: Reserve '*List' type names for list typesEric Blake1-1/+2
Type names ending in 'List' can clash with qapi list types in generated C. We don't currently use such names. It is easier to outlaw them now than to worry about how to resolve such a clash in the future. For precedence, see commit 4dc2e69, which did the same for names ending in 'Kind' versus implicit enum types for qapi unions. Update the testsuite to match.

2015-10-26ivshmem: use little-endian int64_t for the protocolMarc-André Lureau1-1/+1
The current ivshmem protocol uses 'long' for integers. But the sizeof(long) depends on the host and the endianess is not defined, which may cause portability troubles. Instead, switch to using little-endian int64_t. This breaks the protocol, except on x64 little-endian host where this change should be compatible.

2015-10-22vhost user: add rarp sending after live migration for legacy guestThibaut Collet1-0/+15
A new vhost user message is added to allow QEMU to ask to vhost user backend to broadcast a fake RARP after live migration for guest without GUEST_ANNOUNCE capability. This new message is sent only if the backend supports the new VHOST_USER_PROTOCOL_F_RARP protocol feature. The payload of this new message is the MAC address of the guest (not known by the backend). The MAC address is copied in the first 6 bytes of a u64 to avoid to create a new payload message type. This new message has no equivalent ioctl so a new callback is added in the userOps structure to send the request. Upon reception of this new message the vhost user backend must generate and broadcast a fake RARP request to notify the migration is terminated.
