2020-05-28qemu-img: Add convert --bitmaps optionEric Blake
Make it easier to copy all the persistent bitmaps of (the top layer of) a source image along with its guest-visible contents, by adding a boolean flag for use with qemu-img convert. This is basically shorthand, as the same effect could be accomplished with a series of 'qemu-img bitmap --add' and 'qemu-img bitmap --merge -b source' commands, or by their corresponding QMP commands. Note that this command will fail in the same scenarios where 'qemu-img measure' omits a 'bitmaps size:' line, namely, when either the source or the destination lacks persistent bitmap support altogether. See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1779893 While touching this, clean up a couple coding issues spotted in the same function: an extra blank line, and merging back-to-back 'if (!skip_create)' blocks.

2020-05-28qcow2: Expose bitmaps' size during measureEric Blake
It's useful to know how much space can be occupied by qcow2 persistent bitmaps, even though such metadata is unrelated to the guest-visible data. Report this value as an additional QMP field, present when measuring an existing image and output format that both support bitmaps. Update iotest 178 and 190 to updated output, as well as new coverage in 190 demonstrating non-zero values made possible with the recently-added qemu-img bitmap command (see 3b51ab4b). The new 'bitmaps size:' field is displayed automatically as part of 'qemu-img measure' any time it is present in QMP (that is, any time both the source image being measured and destination format support bitmaps, even if the measurement is 0 because there are no bitmaps present). If the field is absent, it means that no bitmaps can be copied (source, destination, or both lack bitmaps, including when measuring based on size rather than on a source image). This behavior is compatible with an upcoming patch adding 'qemu-img convert --bitmaps': that command will fail in the same situations where this patch omits the field. The addition of a new field demonstrates why we should always zero-initialize qapi C structs; while the qcow2 driver still fully populates all fields, the raw and crypto drivers had to be tweaked to avoid uninitialized data. Consideration was also given towards having a 'qemu-img measure --bitmaps' which errors out when bitmaps are not possible, and otherwise sums the bitmaps into the existing allocation totals rather than displaying as a separate field, as a potential convenience factor. But this was ultimately decided to be more complexity than necessary when the QMP interface was sufficient enough with bitmaps remaining a separate field.

2020-05-19qemu-img: Add bitmap sub-commandEric Blake
Include actions for --add, --remove, --clear, --enable, --disable, and --merge (note that --clear is a bit of fluff, because the same can be accomplished by removing a bitmap and then adding a new one in its place, but it matches what QMP commands exist). Listing is omitted, because it does not require a bitmap name and because it was already possible with 'qemu-img info'. A single command line can play one or more bitmap commands in sequence on the same bitmap name (although all added bitmaps share the same granularity, and and all merged bitmaps come from the same source file). Merge defaults to other bitmaps in the primary image, but can also be told to merge bitmaps from a distinct image. While this supports --image-opts for the file being modified, I did not think it worth the extra complexity to support that for the source file in a cross-file merges. Likewise, I chose to have --merge only take a single source rather than following the QMP support for multiple merges in one go (although you can still use more than one --merge in the command line); in part because qemu-img is offline and therefore atomicity is not an issue. Upcoming patches will add iotest coverage of these commands while also testing other features.

Versions of Sphinx older than 1.6 can't build all of our documentation, because they are too picky about the syntax of the argument to the option:: directive; see Sphinx bugs #646, #3366: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/646 https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/3366 Trying to build with a 1.4.x Sphinx fails with docs/system/images.rst:4: SEVERE: Duplicate ID: "cmdoption-qcow2-arg-encrypt" and a 1.5.x Sphinx fails with docs/system/invocation.rst:544: WARNING: Malformed option description '[enable=]PATTERN', should look like "opt", "-opt args", "--opt args", "/opt args" or "+opt args" Update our needs_sphinx setting to indicate that we require at least 1.6. This will allow configure to fall back to "don't build the docs" rather than causing the build to fail entirely, which is probably what most users building on a host old enough to have such an old Sphinx would want; if they do want the docs then they'll have a useful indication of what they need to do (upgrade Sphinx!) rather than a confusing error message. In theory our distro support policy would suggest that we should support building on the Sphinx shipped in those distros, but: * EPEL7 has Sphinx 1.2.3 (which we've never supported!) * Debian Stretch has Sphinx 1.4.8 Trying to get our docs to work with Sphinx 1.4 is not tractable for the 5.0 release and I'm not sure it's worthwhile effort anyway; at least with this change the build as a whole now succeeds.

2020-04-14docs: Improve our gdbstub documentationPeter Maydell
The documentation of our -s and -gdb options is quite old; in particular it still claims that it will cause QEMU to stop and wait for the gdb connection, when this has not been true for some time: you also need to pass -S if you want to make QEMU not launch the guest on startup. Improve the documentation to mention this requirement in the executable's --help output, the documentation of the -gdb option in the manual, and in the "GDB usage" chapter. Includes some minor tweaks to these paragraphs of documentation since I was editing them anyway (such as dropping the description of our gdb support as "primitive").

2020-04-13atomics: update documentationPaolo Bonzini
Some of the constraints on operand sizes have been relaxed, so adjust the documentation. Deprecate atomic_mb_read and atomic_mb_set; it is not really possible to use them correctly because they do not interoperate with sequentially-consistent RMW operations. Finally, extend the memory barrier pairing section to cover acquire and release semantics in general, roughly based on the KVM Forum 2016 talk, "<atomic.h> weapons".

2020-03-30docs/conf.py: Raise ConfigError for bad Sphinx Python versionPeter Maydell
Raise ConfigError rather than VersionRequirementError when we detect that the Python being used by Sphinx is too old. Currently the way we flag the Python version problem up to the user causes Sphinx to print an unnecessary Python stack trace as well as the information about the problem; in most versions of Sphinx this is unavoidable. The upstream Sphinx developers kindly added a feature to allow conf.py to report errors to the user without the backtrace: https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/commit/be608ca2313fc08eb842f3dc19d0f5d2d8227d08 but the exception type they chose for this was ConfigError. Switch to ConfigError, which won't make any difference with currently deployed Sphinx versions, but will be prettier one day when the user is using a Sphinx version with the new feature.

2020-03-26qcow2: List autoclear bit names in headerEric Blake
The feature table is supposed to advertise the name of all feature bits that we support; however, we forgot to update the table for autoclear bits. While at it, move the table to read-only memory in code, and tweak the qcow2 spec to name the second autoclear bit. Update iotests that are affected by the longer header length.
