2022-10-27hw/core/resettable: fix reset level countingDamien Hedde
The code for handling the reset level count in the Resettable code has two issues: The reset count is only decremented for the 1->0 case. This means that if there's ever a nested reset that takes the count to 2 then it will never again be decremented. Eventually the count will exceed the '50' limit in resettable_phase_enter() and QEMU will trip over the assertion failure. The repro case in issue 1266 is an example of this that happens now the SCSI subsystem uses three-phase reset. Secondly, the count is decremented only after the exit phase handler is called. Moving the reset count decrement from "just after" to "just before" calling the exit phase handler allows resettable_is_in_reset() to return false during the handler execution. This simplifies reset handling in resettable devices. Typically, a function that updates the device state will just need to read the current reset state and not anymore treat the "in a reset-exit transition" as a special case. Note that the semantics change to the *_is_in_reset() functions will have no effect on the current codebase, because only two devices (hw/char/cadence_uart.c and hw/misc/zynq_sclr.c) currently call those functions, and in neither case do they do it from the device's exit phase methed.

2022-09-23ui/cocoa: Run qemu_init in the main threadAkihiko Odaki
This work is based on: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20220317125534.38706-1-philippe.mathieu.daude@gmail.com/ Simplify the initialization dance by running qemu_init() in the main thread before the Cocoa event loop starts. The secondary thread only runs only qemu_main_loop() and qemu_cleanup(). This fixes a case where addRemovableDevicesMenuItems() calls qmp_query_block() while expecting the main thread to still hold the BQL. Overriding the code after calling qemu_init() is done by dynamically replacing a function pointer variable, qemu_main when initializing ui/cocoa, which unifies the static implementation of main() for builds with ui/cocoa and ones without ui/cocoa.

2022-06-01gitlab: don't run CI jobs in forks by defaultDaniel P. Berrangé
To preserve CI shared runner credits we don't want to run pipelines on every push. This sets up the config so that pipelines are never created for contributors by default. To override this the QEMU_CI variable can be set to a non-zero value. If set to 1, the pipeline will be created but all jobs will remain manually started. The contributor can selectively run jobs that they care about. If set to 2, the pipeline will be created and all jobs will immediately start. This behavior can be controlled using push variables git push -o ci.variable=QEMU_CI=1 To make this more convenient define an alias git config --local alias.push-ci "push -o ci.variable=QEMU_CI=1" git config --local alias.push-ci-now "push -o ci.variable=QEMU_CI=2" Which lets you run git push-ci to create the pipeline, or git push-ci-now to create and run the pipeline Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

2022-06-01gitlab: convert build/container jobs to .base_job_templateDaniel P. Berrangé
This converts the main build and container jobs to use the base job rules, defining the following new variables - QEMU_JOB_SKIPPED - jobs that are known to be currently broken and should not be run. Can still be manually launched if desired. - QEMU_JOB_AVOCADO - jobs that run the Avocado integration test harness. - QEMU_JOB_PUBLISH - jobs that publish content after the branch is merged upstream As build-tools-and-docs runs on master we declare the requirement of building amd64-debian-container optional as it should already exits once we merge.

2022-06-01gitlab: convert static checks to .base_job_templateDaniel P. Berrangé
This folds the static checks into using the base job template rules, introducing one new variable - QEMU_JOB_ONLY_FORKS - a job that should never run on an upstream pipeline. The information it reports is only applicable to contributors in a pre-submission scenario, not time of merge. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

This folds the Cirrus job rules into the base job template, introducing two new variables - QEMU_JOB_CIRRUS - identifies the job as making use of Cirrus CI via cirrus-run - QEMU_JOB_OPTIONAL - identifies the job as one that is not run by default, primarily due to resource constraints.

2022-06-01gitlab: introduce a common base job templateDaniel P. Berrangé
Currently job rules are spread across the various templates and jobs, making it hard to understand exactly what runs in what scenario. This leads to inconsistency in the rules and increased maint burden. The intent is that we introduce a common '.base_job_template' which will have a general purpose 'rules:' block. No other template or job should define 'rules:', but instead they must rely on the inherited rules. To allow behaviour to be tweaked, rules will be influenced by a number of variables with the naming scheme 'QEMU_JOB_nnnn'. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
