2020-09-23qemu/atomic.h: rename atomic_ to qatomic_Stefan Hajnoczi
clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file: $ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make ../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid) Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none. This patch was generated using: $ git grep -h -o '\<atomic\(64\)\?_[a-z0-9_]\+' include/qemu/atomic.h | \ sort -u >/tmp/changed_identifiers $ for identifier in $(</tmp/changed_identifiers); do sed -i "s%\<$identifier\>%q$identifier%g" \ $(git grep -I -l "\<$identifier\>") done I manually fixed line-wrap issues and misaligned rST tables.

2019-10-11rcu: Add automatically released rcu_read_lock variantsDr. David Alan Gilbert
RCU_READ_LOCK_GUARD() takes the rcu_read_lock and then uses glib's g_auto infrastructure (and thus whatever the compiler's hooks are) to release it on all exits of the block. WITH_RCU_READ_LOCK_GUARD() is similar but is used as a wrapper for the lock, i.e.: WITH_RCU_READ_LOCK_GUARD() { stuff under lock } Note the 'unused' attribute is needed to work around clang bug: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43482 Signed-off-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel P.

2017-06-07docs: create config/, devel/ and spin/ subdirectoriesPaolo Bonzini
Developer documentation should be its own manual. As a start, move all developer-oriented files to a separate directory. Also move non-text files to their own directories: docs/config/ for QEMU -readconfig input, and docs/spin/ for formal models to be used with the SPIN model checker. Reviewed-by: Daniel P.
