2016-07-19qapi: Implement boxed types for commands/eventsEric Blake1-2/+25
Turn on the ability to pass command and event arguments in a single boxed parameter, which must name a non-empty type (although the type can be a struct with all optional members). For structs, it makes it possible to pass a single qapi type instead of a breakout of all struct members (useful if the arguments are already in a struct or if the number of members is large); for other complex types, it is now possible to use a union or alternate as the data for a command or event. The empty type may be technically feasible if needed down the road, but it's easier to forbid it now and relax things to allow it later, than it is to allow it now and have to special case how the generated 'q_empty' type is handled (see commit 7ce106a9 for reasons why nothing is generated for the empty type). An alternate type is never considered empty, but now that a boxed type can be either an object or an alternate, we have to provide a trivial QAPISchemaAlternateType.is_empty(). The new call to arg_type.is_empty() during QAPISchemaCommand.check() requires that we first check the type in question; but there is no chance of introducing a cycle since objects do not refer back to commands. We still have a split in syntax checking between ad-hoc parsing up front (merely validates that 'boxed' has a sane value) and during .check() methods (if 'boxed' is set, then 'data' must name a non-empty user-defined type). Generated code is unchanged, as long as no client uses the new feature.

2016-07-06qapi: Add new visit_complete() functionEric Blake1-7/+3
Making each output visitor provide its own output collection function was the only remaining reason for exposing visitor sub-types to the rest of the code base. Add a polymorphic visit_complete() function which is a no-op for input visitors, and which populates an opaque pointer for output visitors. For maximum type-safety, also add a parameter to the output visitor constructors with a type-correct version of the output pointer, and assert that the two uses match. This approach was considered superior to either passing the output parameter only during construction (action at a distance during visit_free() feels awkward) or only during visit_complete() (defeating type safety makes it easier to use incorrectly). Most callers were function-local, and therefore a mechanical conversion; the testsuite was a bit trickier, but the previous cleanup patch minimized the churn here. The visit_complete() function may be called at most once; doing so lets us use transfer semantics rather than duplication or ref-count semantics to get the just-built output back to the caller, even though it means our behavior is not idempotent.

2016-07-06qapi: Add new visit_free() functionEric Blake1-18/+10
Making each visitor provide its own (awkwardly-named) FOO_cleanup() is unusual, when we can instead have a polymorphic visit_free() interface. Over the next few patches, we can use the polymorphic functions to eliminate the need for a FOO_get_visitor() function for accessing specific visitor functionality, once everything can be accessed directly through the Visitor* interfaces. The dealloc visitor is the first one converted to completely use the new entry point, since qapi_dealloc_visitor_cleanup() was the only reason that qapi_dealloc_get_visitor() existed, and only generated and testsuite code was even using it. With the new visit_free() entry point in place, we no longer need to expose the QapiDeallocVisitor subtype through qapi_dealloc_visitor_new(), and can get by with less generated code, with diffs that look like: | void qapi_free_ACPIOSTInfo(ACPIOSTInfo *obj) | { |- QapiDeallocVisitor *qdv; | Visitor *v; | | if (!obj) { | return; | } | |- qdv = qapi_dealloc_visitor_new(); |- v = qapi_dealloc_get_visitor(qdv); |+ v = qapi_dealloc_visitor_new(); | visit_type_ACPIOSTInfo(v, NULL, &obj, NULL); |- qapi_dealloc_visitor_cleanup(qdv); |+ visit_free(v); |} Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <1465490926-28625-5-git-send-email-eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
2016-07-06qapi: Add parameter to visit_end_*Eric Blake1-4/+4
Rather than making the dealloc visitor track of stack of pointers remembered during visit_start_* in order to free them during visit_end_*, it's a lot easier to just make all callers pass the same pointer to visit_end_*. The generated code has access to the same pointer, while all other users are doing virtual walks and can pass NULL. The dealloc visitor is then greatly simplified. All three visit_end_*() functions intentionally take a void**, even though the visit_start_*() functions differ between void**, GenericList**, and GenericAlternate**. This is done for several reasons: when doing a virtual walk, passing NULL doesn't care what the type is, but when doing a generated walk, we already have to cast the caller's specific FOO* to call visit_start, while using void** lets us use visit_end without a cast. Also, an upcoming patch will add a clone visitor that wants to use the same implementation for all three visit_end callbacks, which is made easier if all three share the same signature. For visitors with already track per-object state (the QMP visitors via a stack, and the string visitors which do not allow nesting), add an assertion that the caller is indeed passing the same pointer to paired calls.

Recently Linux did a mass conversion of its atomic_read/set calls so that they at least are READ/WRITE_ONCE. See Linux's commit 62e8a325 ("atomic, arch: Audit atomic_{read,set}()"). It seems though that their documentation hasn't been updated to reflect this. The appended updates our documentation to reflect the change, which means there is effectively no difference between our atomic_read/set and the current Linux implementation. While at it, fix the statement that a barrier is implied by atomic_read/set, which is incorrect. Volatile/atomic semantics prevent transformations pertaining the variable they apply to; this, however, has no effect on surrounding statements like barriers do.

2016-05-12qapi: Change visit_type_FOO() to no longer return partial objectsEric Blake1-0/+8
Returning a partial object on error is an invitation for a careless caller to leak memory. We already fixed things in an earlier patch to guarantee NULL if visit_start fails ("qapi: Guarantee NULL obj on input visitor callback error"), but that does not help the case where visit_start succeeds but some other failure happens before visit_end, such that we leak a partially constructed object outside visit_type_FOO(). As no one outside the testsuite was actually relying on these semantics, it is cleaner to just document and guarantee that ALL pointer-based visit_type_FOO() functions always leave a safe value in *obj during an input visitor (either the new object on success, or NULL if an error is encountered), so callers can now unconditionally use qapi_free_FOO() to clean up regardless of whether an error occurred. The decision is done by adding visit_is_input(), then updating the generated code to check if additional cleanup is needed based on the type of visitor in use. Note that we still leave *obj unchanged after a scalar-based visit_type_FOO(); I did not feel like auditing all uses of visit_type_Enum() to see if the callers would tolerate a specific sentinel value (not to mention having to decide whether it would be better to use 0 or ENUM__MAX as that sentinel).

2016-05-12qapi: Simplify semantics of visit_next_list()Eric Blake1-7/+9
The semantics of the list visit are somewhat baroque, with the following pseudocode when FooList is used: start() for (prev = head; cur = next(prev); prev = &cur) { visit(&cur->value) } Note that these semantics (advance before visit) requires that the first call to next() return the list head, while all other calls return the next element of the list; that is, every visitor implementation is required to track extra state to decide whether to return the input as-is, or to advance. It also requires an argument of 'GenericList **' to next(), solely because the first iteration might need to modify the caller's GenericList head, so that all other calls have to do a layer of dereferencing. Thankfully, we only have two uses of list visits in the entire code base: one in spapr_drc (which completely avoids visit_next_list(), feeding in integers from a different source than uint8List), and one in qapi-visit.py. That is, all other list visitors are generated in qapi-visit.c, and share the same paradigm based on a qapi FooList type, so we can refactor how lists are laid out with minimal churn among clients. We can greatly simplify things by hoisting the special case into the start() routine, and flipping the order in the loop to visit before advance: start(head) for (tail = *head; tail; tail = next(tail)) { visit(&tail->value) } With the simpler semantics, visitors have less state to track, the argument to next() is reduced to 'GenericList *', and it also becomes obvious whether an input visitor is allocating a FooList during visit_start_list() (rather than the old way of not knowing if an allocation happened until the first visit_next_list()). As a minor drawback, we now allocate in two functions instead of one, and have to pass the size to both functions (unless we were to tweak the input visitors to cache the size to start_list for reuse during next_list, but that defeats the goal of less visitor state). The signature of visit_start_list() is chosen to match visit_start_struct(), with the new parameters after 'name'. The spapr_drc case is a virtual visit, done by passing NULL for list, similarly to how NULL is passed to visit_start_struct() when a qapi type is not used in those visits. It was easy to provide these semantics for qmp-output and dealloc visitors, and a bit harder for qmp-input (several prerequisite patches refactored things to make this patch straightforward). But it turned out that the string and opts visitors munge enough other state during visit_next_list() to make it easier to just document and require a GenericList visit for now; an assertion will remind us to adjust things if we need the semantics in the future. Several pre-requisite cleanup patches made the reshuffling of the various visitors easier; particularly the qmp input visitor.

2016-05-12qapi: Split visit_end_struct() into piecesEric Blake1-5/+10
As mentioned in previous patches, we want to call visit_end_struct() functions unconditionally, so that visitors can release resources tied up since the matching visit_start_struct() without also having to worry about error priority if more than one error occurs. Even though error_propagate() can be safely used to ignore a second error during cleanup caused by a first error, it is simpler if the cleanup cannot set an error. So, split out the error checking portion (basically, input visitors checking for unvisited keys) into a new function visit_check_struct(), which can be safely skipped if any earlier errors are encountered, and leave the cleanup portion (which never fails, but must be called unconditionally if visit_start_struct() succeeded) in visit_end_struct().

2016-05-12qapi-commands: Wrap argument visit in visit_start_structEric Blake1-0/+7
The qmp-input visitor was allowing callers to play rather fast and loose: when visiting a QDict, you could grab members of the root dictionary without first pushing into the dict; among the culprit callers was the generated marshal code on the 'arguments' dictionary of a QMP command. But we are about to tighten the input visitor, at which point the generated marshal code MUST follow the same paradigms as everyone else, of pushing into the struct before grabbing its keys. Generated code grows as follows: |@@ -515,7 +641,12 @@ void qmp_marshal_blockdev_backup(QDict * | BlockdevBackup arg = {0}; | | v = qmp_input_get_visitor(qiv); |+ visit_start_struct(v, NULL, NULL, 0, &err); |+ if (err) { |+ goto out; |+ } | visit_type_BlockdevBackup_members(v, &arg, &err); |+ visit_end_struct(v, err ?

NULL : &err' is temporary; a later patch will clean that up when it splits visit_end_struct(). Prior to this patch, the fact that there was no final visit_end_struct() meant that even though we are using a strict input visit, the marshalling code was not detecting excess input at the top level (only in nested levels). Fortunately, we have code in monitor.c:qmp_check_client_args() that also checks for no excess arguments at the top level. But as the generated code is more compact than the manual check, a later patch will clean up monitor.c to drop the redundancy added here.

FW CFG's primary user is QEMU, which uses it to expose configuration information (in the widest sense) to Firmware. Thus the name FW CFG. FW CFG can also be used by others for their own purposes. QEMU is merely acting as transport then. Names starting with opt/ are reserved for such uses. There is no provision, however, to guide safe sharing among different such users. Fix that, loosely following QMP precedence: names should start with opt/RFQDN/, where RFQDN is a reverse fully qualified domain name you control. Based on a more ambitious patch from Michael Tsirkin.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Require master to have ID zeroMarkus Armbruster1-0/+2
Migration with ivshmem needs to be carefully orchestrated to work. Exactly one peer (the "master") migrates to the destination, all other peers need to unplug (and disconnect), migrate, plug back (and reconnect). This is sort of documented in qemu-doc. If peers connect on the destination before migration completes, the shared memory can get messed up. This isn't documented anywhere. Fix that in qemu-doc. To avoid messing up register IVPosition on migration, the server must assign the same ID on source and destination. ivshmem-spec.txt leaves ID assignment unspecified, however. Amend ivshmem-spec.txt to require the first client to receive ID zero. The example ivshmem-server complies: it always assigns the first unused ID. For a bit of additional safety, enforce ID zero for the master. This does nothing when we're not using a server, because the ID is zero for all peers then.

2016-03-21ivshmem: Split ivshmem-plain, ivshmem-doorbell off ivshmemMarkus Armbruster1-31/+35
ivshmem can be configured with and without interrupt capability (a.k.a. "doorbell"). The two configurations have largely disjoint options, which makes for a confusing (and badly checked) user interface. Moreover, the device can't tell the guest whether its doorbell is enabled. Create two new device models ivshmem-plain and ivshmem-doorbell, and deprecate the old one. Changes from ivshmem: * PCI revision is 1 instead of 0. The new revision is fully backwards compatible for guests. Guests may elect to require at least revision 1 to make sure they're not exposed to the funny "no shared memory, yet" state. * Property "role" replaced by "master". role=master becomes master=on, role=peer becomes master=off. Default is off instead of auto. * Property "use64" is gone. The new devices always have 64 bit BARs. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-plain: * The Interrupt Pin register in PCI config space is zero (does not use an interrupt pin) instead of one (uses INTA). * Property "x-memdev" is renamed to "memdev". * Properties "shm" and "size" are gone. Use property "memdev" instead. * Property "msi" is gone. The new device can't have MSI-X capability. It can't interrupt anyway. * Properties "ioeventfd" and "vectors" are gone. They're meaningless without interrupts anyway. Changes from ivshmem to ivshmem-doorbell: * Property "msi" is gone. The new device always has MSI-X capability. * Property "ioeventfd" defaults to on instead of off. * Property "size" is gone. The new device can only map all the shared memory received from the server. Guests can easily find out whether the device is configured for interrupts by checking for MSI-X capability.
