qemu-img: Speed up comparing empty/zero images
Two empty raw files are always compared by actually reading data even if
there is no data, because BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO is considered "allocated" in
bdrv_is_allocated_above(). That is inefficient.
Use bdrv_get_block_status_above() for more information, and skip the
consecutive zero sectors.
This brings a huge speed up in comparing sparse/empty raw images:
$ qemu-img create a 1G
$ time ~/build/master/bin/qemu-img compare a a

block: Fix .bdrv_open flags
bdrv_common_open() modified bs->open_flags after inferring the set of
options to pass to the driver's .bdrv_open callback. This means that the
cache options were correctly set in bs->open_flags (and therefore
correctly displayed in 'info block'), but the image would actually be
opened with the default cache mode instead.
This patch removes the flags parameter to bdrv_common_open() (except for
BDRV_O_NO_BACKING it's the same as bs->open_flags anyway, and having two
names for the same thing is confusing), and moves the assignment of
open_flags down to immediately before calling into the block drivers. In
all other places, bs->open_flags is now used consistently.

qdev: Free QemuOpts when the QOM path goes away
Otherwise there is a race where the DEVICE_DELETED event has been sent but
attempts to reuse the ID will fail.
Note that similar races exist for other QemuOpts, which this patch
does not attempt to fix.
For example, if the device is a block device, then unplugging it also
deletes its backend. However, this backend's get deleted in
drive_info_del(), which is only called when properties are
destroyed. Just like device_finalize(), drive_info_del() is called
some time after DEVICE_DELETED is sent. A separate patch series has
been sent to plug this other bug. Character devices also have yet to
be fixed.
Currently the ObjectProperty iterator API works as follows:
ObjectPropertyIterator *iter;
iter = object_property_iter_init(obj);
while ((prop = object_property_iter_next(iter))) {
...
}
object_property_iter_free(iter);
This has the benefit that the ObjectPropertyIterator struct
can be opaque, but has the downside that callers need to
explicitly call a free function. It is also not in keeping
with iterator style used elsewhere in QEMU/GLib2.
This patch changes the API to use stack allocation instead:
ObjectPropertyIterator iter;
object_property_iter_init(&iter, obj);
while ((prop = object_property_iter_next(&iter))) {
...
}
qom: Allow properties to be registered against classes
When there are many instances of a given class, registering
properties against the instance is wasteful of resources. The
majority of objects have a statically defined list of possible
properties, so most of the properties are easily registerable
against the class. Only those properties which are conditionally
registered at runtime need be recorded against the klass.
Registering properties against classes also makes it possible
to provide static introspection of QOM - currently introspection
is only possible after creating an instance of a class, which
severely limits its usefulness.
This impl only supports simple scalar properties. It does not
attempt to allow child object / link object properties against
the class. There are ways to support those too, but it would
make this patch more complicated, so it is left as an exercise
for the future.
There is no equivalent to object_property_del() provided, since
classes must be immutable once they are defined.

Add a new scripts/clean-includes, which can be used to automatically

Similarly to the commit 764eb39d1b6 fixing VNC+SASL+QXL, when starting
QEMU with SPICE but no SASL, and at the same time VNC with SASL, then
spice_server_init() will get called without a previous call to
spice_server_set_sasl_appname(), which will cause cyrus-sasl to
try to use /etc/sasl2/spice.conf (spice-server uses "spice" as its
default appname) rather than the expected /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf.
This commit unconditionally calls spice_server_set_sasl_appname()
before calling spice_server_init() in order to use the correct appname
even if SPICE without SASL was requested on qemu command line.
This pointer should be cleared in vnc_display_close()
otherwise a use-after-free can happen when when using the
old style 'x509' and 'tls' options rather than a persistent
tls-creds -object, by issuing monitor commands to change
the vnc server like so:
Start with: -vnc unix:test.socket,x509,tls
Then use the following monitor command:
change vnc unix:test.socket
After this the pointer is still set but invalid and a crash
can be triggered for instance by issuing the same command a
second time which will try to object_unparent() the same
pointer again.

qemu-char: add logfile facility to all chardev backends
Typically a UNIX guest OS will log boot messages to a serial
port in addition to any graphical console. An admin user
may also wish to use the serial port for an interactive
console. A virtualization management system may wish to
collect system boot messages by logging the serial port,
but also wish to allow admins interactive access.
Currently providing such a feature forces the mgmt app
to either provide 2 separate serial ports, one for
logging boot messages and one for interactive console
login, or to proxy all output via a separate service
that can multiplex the two needs onto one serial port.
While both are valid approaches, they each have their
own downsides. The former causes confusion and extra
setup work for VM admins creating disk images. The latter
places an extra burden to re-implement much of the QEMU
chardev backends logic in libvirt or even higher level
mgmt apps and adds extra hops in the data transfer path.
A simpler approach that is satisfactory for many use
cases is to allow the QEMU chardev backends to have a
"logfile" property associated with them.
This patch introduces a 'ChardevCommon' struct which
is setup as a base for all the ChardevBackend types.
Ideally this would be registered directly as a base
against ChardevBackend, rather than each type, but
the QAPI generator doesn't allow that since the
ChardevBackend is a non-discriminated union. The
ChardevCommon struct provides the optional 'logfile'
parameter, as well as 'logappend' which controls
whether QEMU truncates or appends (default truncate).

qemu-img check -r all 'TEST_DIR/iotest-dirtylog-10G-4M.vhdx': Operation not permitted
Switch to error_setg() and error_append_hint(). Result:

pci-assign: Clean up "Failed to assign" error messages
The arguments of error_setg() & friends should yield a short error
string without newlines.
Two places try to append additional help to the error message by
embedding newlines in the error string. That's nice, but let's do it
the right way, with error_append_hint().
error: Strip trailing '\n' from error string arguments (again)
Commit 6daf194d, be62a2eb and 312fd5f got rid of a bunch, but they
keep coming back. Tracked down with the Coccinelle semantic patch
from commit 312fd5f.
migration: Use error_reportf_err() instead of monitor_printf()
Both error_reportf_err() and monitor_printf() print to the same
destination when monitor_printf() is used correctly, i.e. within an
HMP monitor. Elsewhere, monitor_printf() does nothing, while
error_reportf_err() reports to stderr.
Both changed functions are HMP command handlers. These should only
run within an HMP monitor.
Unlike monitor_printf(), error_reportf_err() uses the error whole
instead of just its message obtained with error_get_pretty(). This
avoids suppressing its hint (see commit 50b7b00), but I don't think
the errors touched in this commit can come with hints.
followed by manual cleanup, first because I can't figure out how to
make Coccinelle transform strings, and second to get rid of now
superfluous error_propagate().
We now use or propagate the original error whole instead of just its
message obtained with error_get_pretty(). This avoids suppressing its
hint (see commit 50b7b00), but I can't see how the errors touched in
this commit could come with hints. It also improves the message
printed with &error_abort when we screw up (see commit 1e9b65b).
followed by a replace of '%s"/*@@@*/' by '"' and some line rewrapping,
because I can't figure out how to make Coccinelle transform strings.
We now use the error whole instead of just its message obtained with
error_get_pretty(). This avoids suppressing its hint (see commit 50b7b00), but I can't see how the errors touched in this commit could

This is suboptimal, because it loses err's hint (if any). Moreover,
when errp is &error_abort or is subsequently propagated to
&error_abort, the abort message points to the place where we last
added to the error, not to the place where it originated.
To avoid these issues, provide means to add to an error's message in
place:
The code looks like it tries to check for both qemu_init_main_loop()
and qemu_get_aio_context() failure in one conditional. In fact,
qemu_get_aio_context() can fail only after qemu_init_main_loop()
failed.
Simplify accordingly: check for qemu_init_main_loop() error directly,
without bothering to improve its error message. Call
qemu_get_aio_context() only when qemu_get_aio_context() succeeded. It
can't fail then, so no need to check.
qemu-nbd: Clean up "Failed to load snapshot" error message
bdrv_snapshot_load_tmp() sets an error and returns -errno on failure.
We report both even though the error message is self-contained. Drop
the redundant strerror().
While there: setting errno right before exit() is pointless, so drop
that, too.
block: Clean up "Could not create temporary overlay" error message
bdrv_create() sets an error and returns -errno on failure. When the
latter is interesting, the error is created with error_setg_errno().
bdrv_append_temp_snapshot() uses the error's message to create a new
one with error_setg_errno(). This adds a strerror() that is either
uninteresting or duplicate. Use error_setg() instead.
error: Use error_report_err() instead of ad hoc prints
Unlike ad hoc prints, error_report_err() uses the error whole instead
of just its message obtained with error_get_pretty(). This avoids
suppressing its hint (see commit 50b7b00). Example:
$ bld/ivshmem-server -l 42@
Parameter 'shm_size' expects a size
You may use k, M, G or T suffixes for kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes.
The last line is new with this patch.
While there, drop a "cannot parse shm size: " message prefix; it's
redundant, because the error message proper is always of the form
"Parameter 'shm_size' expects ...".
error: Use error_report_err() instead of monitor_printf()
Both error_report_err() and monitor_printf() print to the same
destination when monitor_printf() is used correctly, i.e. within an
HMP monitor. Elsewhere, monitor_printf() does nothing, while
error_report_err() reports to stderr.
Most changed functions are HMP command handlers. These should only
run within an HMP monitor. The one exception is bdrv_password_cb(),
which should also only run within an HMP monitor.
Four command handlers prefix the error message with the command name:
balloon, migrate_set_capability, migrate_set_parameter, migrate.
Pointless, drop.
Unlike monitor_printf(), error_report_err() uses the error whole
instead of just its message obtained with error_get_pretty(). This
avoids suppressing its hint (see commit 50b7b00). Example:
(qemu) device_add ivshmem,id=666
Parameter 'id' expects an identifier
Identifiers consist of letters, digits, '-', '.', '_', starting with a letter.
Try "help device_add" for more information
The "Identifiers consist of..." line is new with this patch.

audio: Clean up inappropriate and unreachable use of hw_error()
audio_init() should not use hw_error(), because dumping CPU registers
is unhelpful there, and aborting is wrong, because it can be called
called from an audio device's realize() method.
The two uses of hw_error() come from commit 0d9acba:
* When qemu_new_timer() fails. It couldn't fail back then, and it
can't fail now. Drop the unreachable error handling.
* When no_audio_driver can't be initialized. It couldn't fail back
then, and it can't fail now. Replace the error handling by an
assertion.
isa_bus_irqs(), isa_create() and isa_try_create() call hw_error() when
passed a null bus. Use of hw_error() has always been questionable,
because these are used only during machine initialization, and
printing CPU registers isn't useful there.
Since the previous commit, passing a null bus is a programming error.
Drop the hw_error() and simply let it crash.
We can have at most one ISA bus. If you try to create another one,
isa_bus_new() complains to stderr and returns null.
isa_bus_new() is called in two contexts, machine's init() and device's
realize() methods. Since complaining to stderr is not proper in the
latter context, convert isa_bus_new() to Error.
Machine's init():
* mips_jazz_init(), called from the init() methods of machines
"magnum" and "pica"
* mips_r4k_init(), the init() method of machine "mips"
* pc_init1() called from the init() methods of non-q35 PC machines
* typhoon_init(), called from clipper_init(), the init() method of
machine "clipper"
These callers always create the first ISA bus, hence isa_bus_new()
can't fail. Simply pass &error_abort.
Device's realize():
* i82378_realize(), of PCI device "i82378"
* ich9_lpc_realize(), of PCI device "ICH9-LPC"
* pci_ebus_realize(), of PCI device "ebus"
* piix3_realize(), of PCI device "pci-piix3", abstract parent of
"PIIX3" and "PIIX3-xen"
* piix4_realize(), of PCI device "PIIX4"
* vt82c686b_realize(), of PCI device "VT82C686B"
Propagate the error. Note that these devices are typically created
only by machine init() methods with qdev_init_nofail() or similar. If
we screwed up and created an ISA bus before that call, we now give up
right away. Before, we'd hobble on, and typically die in
isa_bus_irqs(). Similar if someone finds a way to hot-plug one of
these critters.
sysbus: Don't use hw_error() in machine_init_done_notifiers
platform_bus_map_irq() and platform_bus_map_mmio() use hw_error() to
fail. They run in machine_init_done_notifiers, via
platform_bus_init_notify() and link_sysbus_device(). Printing CPU
registers is not helpful there.
Replace hw_error() by error_report(); exit(1). If these are
programming errors, it should be replaced by an assertion instead.
While there, observe that both functions always return 0, and
link_sysbus_device() ignores the return value. Change them to void.
virt_set_gic_version() calls exit(1) when passed an invalid property
value. Property setters are not supposed to do that. Screwed up in
commit b92ad39. Harmless, because the property belongs to a machine.
Set an error object instead.
error: Don't append a newline when printing the error hint
Since commit 50b7b00, we have error_append_hint() to conveniently
accumulate Error member @hint. error_report_err() prints it with a
newline appended. Consequently, users of error_append_hint() need to
know whether theirs is the final line of the hint to decide whether it
needs a newline. Not a nice interface.
Change error_report_err() to print just the hint, and the (still few)
users of error_append_hint() to add the required newline.
Device realize() methods aren't supposed to call hw_error(), they
should set an error and fail cleanly. Blindly doing that would be
easy enough, but then realize() would fail without undoing its side
effects. Just mark it FIXME for now.
omap: Don't use hw_error() in device init() methods
Device init() methods aren't supposed to call hw_error(), they should
report the error and fail cleanly. Do that.
The errors are all device misconfiguration. All callers use
qdev_init_nofail(), so this patch merely converts hw_error() crashes
into &error_abort crashes. Improvement, because now it crashes closer
to where the misconfiguration bug would be, and a few more bad
examples of hw_error() use are gone.
hw: Don't use hw_error() for machine initialization errors
Printing CPU registers is not helpful during machine initialization.
Moreover, these are straightforward configuration or "can get
resources" errors, so dumping core isn't appropriate either. Replace
hw_error() by error_report(); exit(1). Matches how we report these
errors in other machine initializations.
