hw/sparc: Make grlib-irqmp device handle its own inbound IRQ lines
Currently the GRLIB_IRQMP device is used in one place (the leon3 board),
but instead of the device providing inbound gpio lines for the board
to wire up, the board code itself calls qemu_allocate_irqs() with
the handler function being a set_irq function defined in the code
for the device.
Refactor this into the standard setup of a device having input
gpio lines.
This fixes a trivial Coverity memory leak report (the leon3
board code leaks the IRQ array returned from qemu_allocate_irqs()).
The address map indicated the allowed accesses at each address.
[...] W indicates a word access, and D indicates a double-word
access.
The SLAVIO timer controller is implemented expecting 32-bit accesses.
Commit a3d12d073e1 restricted the memory accesses to 32-bit, while
the device allows 64-bit accesses.
This was not an issue until commit 5d971f9e67 which reverted
("memory: accept mismatching sizes in memory_region_access_valid").
Fix by renaming .valid MemoryRegionOps as .impl, and add the valid
access range (W -> 4, D -> 8).
Since commit 21786c7e598 ("memory: Log invalid memory accesses")
this class of bug can be quickly debugged displaying 'guest_errors'
accesses, as:

Add Loongson-3 based machine support, it use liointc as the interrupt
controler and use GPEX as the pci controller. Currently it can work with
both TCG and KVM.
As the machine model is not based on any exiting physical hardware, the
name of the machine is "loongson3-virt". It may be superseded in future
by a real machine model. If this happens, then a regular deprecation
procedure shall occur for "loongson3-virt" machine.
We now already have a full functional Linux kernel (based on Linux-5.4.x
LTS) here:
https://github.com/chenhuacai/linux
Of course the upstream kernel is also usable (the kvm host side and
guest side have both been upstream in Linux-5.9):
How to use QEMU/Loongson-3?
1, Download kernel source from the above URL;
2, Build a kernel with arch/mips/configs/loongson3_defconfig;
3, Boot a Loongson-3A4000 host with this kernel (for KVM mode);
4, Build QEMU-master with this patchset;
5, modprobe kvm (only necessary for KVM mode);
6, Use QEMU with TCG:
qemu-system-mips64el -M loongson3-virt,accel=tcg -cpu Loongson-3A1000 -kernel <path_to_kernel> -append ...
Use QEMU with KVM:
qemu-system-mips64el -M loongson3-virt,accel=kvm -cpu Loongson-3A4000 -kernel <path_to_kernel> -append ...
The "-cpu" parameter is optional here and QEMU will use the correct type for TCG/KVM automatically.

target/mips: Don't use clock_get_ns() in clock period calculation
Currently the MIPS code uses the old clock_get_ns() API to
calculate a time length in nanoseconds:
cpu->cp0_count_rate * clock_get_ns(MIPS_CPU(cpu)->clock)
This relies on the clock having a period which is an exact number
of nanoseconds.
Switch to the new clock_ticks_to_ns() function, which does the
multiplication internally at a higher precision.

clock: Introduce clock_ticks_to_ns()
The clock_get_ns() API claims to return the period of a clock in
nanoseconds. Unfortunately since it returns an integer and a
clock's period is represented in units of 2^-32 nanoseconds,
the result is often an approximation, and calculating a clock
expiry deadline by multiplying clock_get_ns() by a number-of-ticks
is unacceptably inaccurate.
Introduce a new API clock_ticks_to_ns() which returns the number
of nanoseconds it takes the clock to make a given number of ticks.
This function can do the complete calculation internally and
will thus give a more accurate result.

tracetool: show trace-events filename/lineno in fmt string errors
The compiler encounters trace event format strings in generated code.
Format strings are error-prone and therefore clear compiler errors are
important.
Use the #line directive to show the trace-events filename and line
number in format string errors:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-10.2.0/cpp/Line-Control.html
For example, if the cpu_in trace event's %u is changed to %p the
following error is reported:
trace-events:29:18: error: format ‘%p’ expects argument of type ‘void *’, but argument 7 has type ‘unsigned int’ [-Werror=format=]
Line 29 in trace-events is where cpu_in is defined. This works for any
trace-events file in the QEMU source tree and the correct path is
displayed.
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to set the column, so "18"
is not the right character on that line.
The tracetool.py script writes to stdout. This means the output filename
is not available to the script. Add the output filename to the
command-line so that the script has access to the filename.
This also simplifies the tracetool.py invocation. It's no longer
necessary to use meson's custom_build(capture : true) to save output.

migration: Replace migration's JSON writer by the general one
Commit 8118f0950f "migration: Append JSON description of migration
stream" needs a JSON writer. The existing qobject_to_json() wasn't a
good fit, because it requires building a QObject to convert. Instead,
migration got its very own JSON writer, in commit 190c882ce2 "QJSON:
Add JSON writer". It tacitly limits numbers to int64_t, and strings
contents to characters that don't need escaping, unlike
qobject_to_json().
The previous commit factored the JSON writer out of qobject_to_json().
Replace migration's JSON writer by it.
qobject: Factor JSON writer out of qobject_to_json()
We have two JSON writers written in C: qobject/qjson.c provides
qobject_to_json(), and migration/qjson.c provides a more low level
imperative interface. They don't share code. The latter tacitly
limits numbers to int64_t, and strings contents to characters that
don't need escaping.
Factor out qobject_to_json()'s JSON writer as qobject/json-writer.c.
Straightforward, except for numbers: since the writer is to be
independent of QObject, it can't use qnum_to_string(). Open-code it
instead. This is actually an improvement of sorts, because it
liberates qnum_to_string() from JSON's needs: its JSON-related FIXMEs
move to the JSON writer, where they belong.
Revert "qobject: let object_property_get_str() use new API"
Commit aafb21a0b9 "qobject: let object_property_get_str() use new API"
isn't much of a simplification. Not worth having
object_property_get_str() differ from the other
object_property_get_FOO(). Revert.
RdmaProtectedQList provides a thread-safe queue of int64_t on top of a
QList.
rdma_protected_qlist_destroy() calls qlist_destroy_obj() directly.
qlist_destroy_obj() is actually for use by qobject_destroy() only.
The next commit will make that obvious.
The minimal fix would be calling qobject_unref() instead. But QList
is actually a bad fit here. It's designed for representing JSON
arrays. We're better off with a GQueue here. Replace.
qobject: Change qobject_to_json()'s value to GString
qobject_to_json() and qobject_to_json_pretty() build a GString, then
covert it to QString. Just one of the callers actually needs a
QString: qemu_rbd_parse_filename(). A few others need a string they
can modify: qmp_send_response(), qga's send_response(), to_json_str(),
and qmp_fd_vsend_fds(). The remainder just need a string.
Change qobject_to_json() and qobject_to_json_pretty() to return the
GString.
qemu_rbd_parse_filename() now has to convert to QString. All others
save a QString temporary. to_json_str() actually becomes a bit
simpler, because GString provides more convenient modification
functions.
qobject: Use GString instead of QString to accumulate JSON
QString supports modifying its string, but it's quite limited: you can
only append. The remaining callers use it for building an initial
string, never for modifying it later.
Use of GString for building the initial string is actually more
convenient here. Change qobject_to_json() & friends to do that.
Once all such uses are replaced this way, QString can become immutable.
monitor: Use GString instead of QString for output buffer
GString has a richer set of string operations than QString. It should
be preferred to QString except where we need a QObject or reference
counting. We don't here. Switch to GString, and put its richer
interface to use.
hmp: Simplify how qmp_human_monitor_command() gets output
Commit 48c043d0d1 "hmp: human-monitor-command: stop using the Memory
chardev driver" left us "if string is non-empty, duplicate it, else
duplicate the empty string". Meh. Duplicate it unconditionally.
test-visitor-serialization: Clean up test_primitives()
test_primitives() uses union member intmax_t max to compare the
integer members. Unspecified behavior. Has worked fine for many
years, though. Clean it up.
qobject: Fix qnum_to_string() to use sufficient precision
We should serialize numbers to JSON so that they deserialize back to
the same number. We fail to do so.
The culprit is qnum_to_string(): it uses format %f with trailing '0'
trimmed. Results in pretty output for "nice" numbers, but is prone to
nasty rounding errors. For instance, numbers between 0 and 0.0000005
get flushed to zero.
Where exactly the incorrect rounding can bite is tiresome to gauge.
Here's my take.
* The uses of qobject_input_visitor_new_flat_confused()
As far as I can tell, none of the visited types contain double
values.
* Dumping ImageInfoSpecific with dump_qobject()
Fix by formatting with %.17g. 17 decimal digits always suffice for
IEEE double.
The change to expected test output illustrates the effect: the
rounding errors are gone, but some seemingly "nice" numbers now get
converted to not so nice strings, e.g. 0.42 to "0.41999999999999998".
This is because 0.42 is not representable exactly in double. It's
more accurate in this example than strictly necessary, though.
If ugly accuracy bothers us, we can we can try using the least number
of digits that still converts back to the same double. In this
example, "0.42" would do.
