2024-03-13docs: Deprecate the pseries-2.12 machinesPhilippe Mathieu-Daudé
pSeries machines before 3.0 have complex migration back compatibility code we'd like to get ride of. The last one is 2.12, which is 6 years old. We just deprecated up to the 2.11 machine in commit 1392617d35 ("spapr: Tag pseries-2.1 - 2.11 machines as deprecated"). Take to opportunity to also deprecate the 2.12 machines.

2024-03-11hw/arm: Deprecate various old Arm machine typesPeter Maydell
QEMU includes some models of old Arm machine types which are a bit problematic for us because: * they're written in a very old way that uses numerous APIs that we would like to get away from (eg they don't use qdev, they use qemu_system_reset_request(), they use vmstate_register(), etc) * they've been that way for a decade plus and nobody particularly has stepped up to try to modernise the code (beyond some occasional work here and there) * we often don't have test cases for them, which means that if we do try to do the necessary refactoring work on them we have no idea if they even still work at all afterwards All these machine types are also of hardware that has largely passed away into history and where I would not be surprised to find that e.g. the Linux kernel support was never tested on real hardware any more. After some consultation with the Linux kernel developers, we are going to deprecate: All PXA2xx machines: akita Sharp SL-C1000 (Akita) PDA (PXA270) borzoi Sharp SL-C3100 (Borzoi) PDA (PXA270) connex Gumstix Connex (PXA255) mainstone Mainstone II (PXA27x) spitz Sharp SL-C3000 (Spitz) PDA (PXA270) terrier Sharp SL-C3200 (Terrier) PDA (PXA270) tosa Sharp SL-6000 (Tosa) PDA (PXA255) verdex Gumstix Verdex Pro XL6P COMs (PXA270) z2 Zipit Z2 (PXA27x) All OMAP2 machines: n800 Nokia N800 tablet aka. RX-34 (OMAP2420) n810 Nokia N810 tablet aka. RX-44 (OMAP2420) One of the OMAP1 machines: cheetah Palm Tungsten|E aka. Cheetah PDA (OMAP310) Rationale: * for QEMU dropping individual machines is much less beneficial than if we can drop support for an entire SoC * the OMAP2 QEMU code in particular is large, old and unmaintained, and none of the OMAP2 kernel maintainers said they were using QEMU in any of their testing/development * although there is a setup that is booting test kernels on some of the PXA2xx machines, nobody seemed to be using them as part of their active kernel development and my impression from the email thread is that PXA is the closest of all these SoC families to being dropped from the kernel soon * nobody said they were using cheetah, so it's entirely untested and quite probably broken * on the other hand the OMAP1 sx1 model does seem to be being used as part of kernel development, and there was interest in keeping collie around In particular, the mainstone, tosa and z2 machine types have already been dropped from Linux. Mark all these machine types as deprecated.

2024-03-09hw/core/machine-smp: Deprecate unsupported "parameter=1" SMP configurationsZhao Liu
Currently, it was allowed for users to specify the unsupported topology parameter as "1". For example, x86 PC machine doesn't support drawer/book/cluster topology levels, but user could specify "-smp drawers=1,books=1,clusters=1". This is meaningless and confusing, so that the support for this kind of configurations is marked deprecated since 9.0. And report warning message for such case like: qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid): Unsupported clusters parameter mustn't be specified as 1 qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid): Unsupported books parameter mustn't be specified as 1 qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid): Unsupported drawers parameter mustn't be specified as 1 Users have to ensure that all the topology members described with -smp are supported by the target machine.

The "parameter=0" SMP configurations have been marked as deprecated since v6.2. For these cases, -smp currently returns the warning and adjusts the zeroed parameters to 1 by default.

2024-02-29*-user: Deprecate and disable -p pagesizeRichard Henderson
This option controls the host page size. From the mis-usage in our own testsuite, this is easily confused with guest page size. The only thing that occurs when changing the host page size is that stuff breaks, because one cannot actually change the host page size. Therefore reject all but the no-op setting as part of the deprecation process.

2023-10-27docs/about: Mark the old pc-i440fx-2.0 - 2.3 machine types as deprecatedThomas Huth
As we've seen in the past, it's useful for deprecating old machine types to finally be able to get of legacy code or do other clean-ups (see e.g. commit ea985d235b868047 that was used to drop the PCI code in the 128k bios binaries to free some precious space in those binaries). So let's continue deprecating the oldest pc machine types. QEMU 2.3 has been released 8 years ago, so that's plenty of time since such machine types have been used by default, thus deprecating pc-i440fx-2.0 up to pc-i440fx-2.3 should be fine nowadays.

This subsystem is said to be in a bad shape (see e.g. [1], [2] and [3]), and nobody seems to feel responsible to pick up patches for this and send them via a pull request. For example there is a patch for a CVE-worthy bug posted more than half a year ago [4] which has never been merged. Thus let's mark it as deprecated and finally remove it unless somebody steps up and improves the code quality and adds proper regression tests.

2023-10-12target/riscv: deprecate capital 'Z' CPU propertiesDaniel Henrique Barboza
At this moment there are eleven CPU extension properties that starts with capital 'Z': Zifencei, Zicsr, Zihintntl, Zihintpause, Zawrs, Zfa, Zfh, Zfhmin, Zve32f, Zve64f and Zve64d. All other extensions are named with lower-case letters. We want all properties to be named with lower-case letters since it's consistent with the riscv-isa string that we create in the FDT. Having these 11 properties to be exceptions can be confusing. Deprecate all of them. Create their lower-case counterpart to be used as maintained CPU properties. When trying to use any deprecated property a warning message will be displayed, recommending users to switch to the lower-case variant: ./build/qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -cpu rv64,Zifencei=true --nographic qemu-system-riscv64: warning: CPU property 'Zifencei' is deprecated. Please use 'zifencei' instead This will give users some time to change their scripts before we remove the capital 'Z' properties entirely.

2023-10-12target/riscv: deprecate the 'any' CPU typeDaniel Henrique Barboza
The 'any' CPU type was introduced in commit dc5bd18fa5725 ("RISC-V CPU Core Definition"), being around since the beginning. It's not an easy CPU to use: it's undocumented and its name doesn't tell users much about what the CPU is supposed to bring. 'git log' doesn't help us either in knowing what was the original design of this CPU type. The closest we have is a comment from Alistair [1] where he recalls from memory that the 'any' CPU is supposed to behave like the newly added 'max' CPU. He also suggested that the 'any' CPU should be removed. The default CPUs are rv32 and rv64, so removing the 'any' CPU will have impact only on users that might have a script that uses '-cpu any'. And those users are better off using the default CPUs or the new 'max' CPU. We would love to just remove the code and be done with it, but one does not simply remove a feature in QEMU. We'll put the CPU in quarantine first, letting users know that we have the intent of removing it in the future.

2023-10-03audio: remove QEMU_AUDIO_* and -audio-help supportPaolo Bonzini
These have been deprecated for a long time, and the introduction of -audio in 7.1.0 has cemented the new way of specifying an audio backend's parameters. However, there is still a need for simple configuration of the audio backend in the desktop case; therefore, if no audiodev is passed to audio_init(), go through a bunch of simple Audiodev* structures and pick the first that can be initialized successfully. The only QEMU_AUDIO_* option that is left in, waiting for a better idea, is QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none which is used by qtest. Remove all the parsing code, including the concept of "can_be_default" audio drivers: now that audio_prio_list[] is only used in a single place, wav can be excluded directly in that function.

Per the latest HAXM release (v7.8 [*]), the latest QEMU supported is v7.2: Note: Up to this release, HAXM supports QEMU from 2.9.0 to 7.2.0. The next commit (https://github.com/intel/haxm/commit/da1b8ec072) added: HAXM v7.8.0 is our last release and we will not accept pull requests or respond to issues after this. It became very hard to build and test HAXM. Its previous maintainers made it clear they won't help. It doesn't seem to be a very good use of QEMU maintainers to spend their time in a dead project.

2023-05-02qmp: Deprecate 'singlestep' member of StatusInfoPeter Maydell
The 'singlestep' member of StatusInfo has never done what the QMP documentation claims it does. What it actually reports is whether TCG is working in "one guest instruction per translation block" mode. We no longer need this field for the HMP 'info status' command, as we've moved that information to 'info jit'. It seems unlikely that anybody is monitoring the state of this obscure TCG setting via QMP, especially since QMP provides no means for changing the setting. So simply deprecate the field, without providing any replacement. Until we do eventually delete the member, correct the misstatements in the QAPI documentation about it. If we do find that there are users for this, then the most likely way we would provide replacement access to the information would be to put the accelerator QOM object at a well-known path such as /machine/accel, which could then be used with the existing qom-set and qom-get commands.
