2020-12-14target/ppc: Remove "compat" property of server class POWER CPUsGreg Kurz
This property has been deprecated since QEMU 5.0 by commit 22062e54bb68. We only kept a legacy hack that internally converts "compat" into the official "max-cpu-compat" property of the pseries machine type. According to our deprecation policy, we could have removed it for QEMU 5.2 already. Do it now ; since ppc_cpu_parse_featurestr() now just calls the generic parent_parse_features handler, drop it as well. Users are supposed to use the "max-cpu-compat" property of the pseries machine type instead.

Since commit aa35ec2213b ("hw/arm/raspi: Use more specific machine names") the raspi2/raspi3 machines have been renamed as raspi2b/raspi3b. Note, rather than the raspi3b, the raspi3ap introduced in commit 5be94252d34 ("hw/arm/raspi: Add the Raspberry Pi 3 model A+") is a closer match to what QEMU models, but only provides 512 MB of RAM.

2020-11-20docs: Get rid of the weird _005f links in the man pageThomas Huth
The man page does not contain all the chapters from the System Emulation Users Guide, so some of the links that we've put into the qemu options descriptions can not be resolved and thus the link names are used in the man pages instead. These link names currently contain weird "_005f" letters in the middle and just do not make any sense for the users.

From this Wayback machine link [1] we can get to a working place to download a toolchain (a more recent release than the one referenced in the announcement mails): http://codescape.mips.com/components/toolchain/nanomips/2018.04-02/downloads.html The toolchain page mention LLVM but simply links http://llvm.org/ where there is no reference on nanoMIPS. The only reference in the GCC mailing list, is the nanoMIPS announcement: https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2018-May.txt The developer who authored the announcements have been emailed [2] to ask for more information but all their emails are now bouncing: - Your message to Stefan.Markovic@mips.com couldn't be delivered. - Your message to smarkovic@wavecomp.com couldn't be delivered. - Couldn't deliver the message to the following recipients: Robert.Suchanek@mips.com, matthew.fortune@mips.com, marcin.nowakowski@mips.com Our deprecation policy do not allow feature removal before 2 release, therefore declare the nanoMIPS ISA code deprecated as of QEMU 5.2. This gives time to developers to update the QEMU community, or interested parties to step in to maintain this code.

2020-10-30nbd: Update qapi to support exporting multiple bitmapsEric Blake
Since 'block-export-add' is new to 5.2, we can still tweak the interface; there, allowing 'bitmaps':['str'] is nicer than 'bitmap':'str'. This wires up the qapi and qemu-nbd changes to permit passing multiple bitmaps as distinct metadata contexts that the NBD client may request, but the actual support for more than one will require a further patch to the server. Note that there are no changes made to the existing deprecated 'nbd-server-add' command; this required splitting the QAPI type BlockExportOptionsNbd, which fortunately does not affect QMP introspection.

2020-10-27hw/gpio: Add GPIO model for Nuvoton NPCM7xxHavard Skinnemoen
The NPCM7xx chips have multiple GPIO controllers that are mostly identical except for some minor differences like the reset values of some registers. Each controller controls up to 32 pins. Each individual pin is modeled as a pair of unnamed GPIOs -- one for emitting the actual pin state, and one for driving the pin externally. Like the nRF51 GPIO controller, a gpio level may be negative, which means the pin is not driven, or floating.

The NPCM730 and NPCM750 chips have a single USB host port shared between a USB 2.0 EHCI host controller and a USB 1.1 OHCI host controller. This adds support for both of them. Testing notes: * With -device usb-kbd, qemu will automatically insert a full-speed hub, and the keyboard becomes controlled by the OHCI controller. * With -device usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0,port=1, the keyboard is directly attached to the port without any hubs, and the device becomes controlled by the EHCI controller since it's high speed capable. * With -device usb-kbd,bus=usb-bus.0,port=1,usb_version=1, the keyboard is directly attached to the port, but it only advertises itself as full-speed capable, so it becomes controlled by the OHCI controller. In all cases, the keyboard device enumerates correctly.

2020-10-15block: deprecate the sheepdog block driverDaniel P. Berrangé
This thread from a little over a year ago: http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/sheepdog/2019-March/thread.html states that sheepdog is no longer actively developed. The only mentioned users are some companies who are said to have it for legacy reasons with plans to replace it by Ceph. There is talk about cutting out existing features to turn it into a simple demo of how to write a distributed block service. There is no evidence of anyone working on that idea: https://github.com/sheepdog/sheepdog/commits/master No real commits to git since Jan 2018, and before then just some minor technical debt cleanup. There is essentially no activity on the mailing list aside from patches to QEMU that get CC'd due to our MAINTAINERS entry. Fedora packages for sheepdog failed to build from upstream source because of the more strict linker that no longer merges duplicate global symbols. Fedora patches it to add the missing "extern" annotations and presumably other distros do to, but upstream source remains broken. There is only basic compile testing, no functional testing of the driver. Since there are no build pre-requisites the sheepdog driver is currently enabled unconditionally. This would result in configure issuing a deprecation warning by default for all users. Thus the configure default is changed to disable it, requiring users to pass --enable-sheepdog to build the driver.

2020-10-13docs/system/deprecated: Mark the 'moxie' CPU as deprecatedThomas Huth
It is currently unclear whether anybody is still using the 'moxie' CPU, and there are no images for testing available this CPU, so the code has likely bit-rotten in the course of time. When I asked the maintainer for information, I did not get a reply within four weeks yet (see https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-08/msg07201.html). The last Signed-off-by line from Anthony in our repo is from 2013, so it seems like this code is rather unmaintained. Time to put it onto the deprecation list to see whether somebody is still interested in this code or whether we could remove it in a couple of releases.

2020-09-23docs/system: clarify deprecation scheduleStefan Hajnoczi
The sentence explaining the deprecation schedule is ambiguous. Make it clear that a feature deprecated in the Nth release is guaranteed to remain available in the N+1th release. Removal can occur in the N+2nd release or later. As an example of this in action, see commit 25956af3fe5dd0385ad8017bc768a6afe41e2a74 ("block: Finish deprecation of 'qemu-img convert -n -o'"). The feature was deprecated in QEMU 4.2.0. It was present in the 5.0.0 release and removed in the 5.1.0 release. Suggested-by: Daniel P.
