2017-01-16qemu-thread: optimize QemuLockCnt with futexes on LinuxPaolo Bonzini
This is complex, but I think it is reasonably documented in the source. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Fam Zheng <famz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com> Message-id: 20170112180800.21085-5-pbonzini@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>
2017-01-16qemu-thread: introduce QemuLockCntPaolo Bonzini
A QemuLockCnt comprises a counter and a mutex, with primitives to increment and decrement the counter, and to take and release the mutex. It can be used to do lock-free visits to a data structure whenever mutexes would be too heavy-weight and the critical section is too long for RCU. This could be implemented simply by protecting the counter with the mutex, but QemuLockCnt is harder to misuse and more efficient.

2017-01-16build-sys: add qapi doc generation targetsMarc-André Lureau
Generate and install the man, txt and html versions of QAPI documentation (generate and install qemu-doc.txt too). Add it also to optional pdf/info targets.

2017-01-16docs: add qemu logo to pdfMarc-André Lureau
Add a logo to texi2pdf output. Other formats (info/html) are left as future improvements. The PDF (needed by texi2pdf for vectorized images) was generated from pc-bios/qemu_logo.svg like this: inkscape --export-pdf=docs/qemu_logo.pdf pc-bios/qemu_logo.svg Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20170113144135.5150-17-marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
2017-01-16qapi: add qapi2texi scriptMarc-André Lureau
As the name suggests, the qapi2texi script converts JSON QAPI description into a texi file suitable for different target formats (info/man/txt/pdf/html...). It parses the following kind of blocks: Free-form: ## # = Section # == Subsection # # Some text foo with *emphasis* # 1. with a list # 2. like that # # And some code: # | $ echo foo # | -> do this # | <- get that # ## Symbol description: ## # @symbol: # # Symbol body ditto ergo sum. Foo bar # baz ding. # # @param1: the frob to frobnicate # @param2: #optional how hard to frobnicate # # Returns: the frobnicated frob. # If frob isn't frobnicatable, GenericError. # # Since: version # Notes: notes, comments can have # - itemized list # - like this # # Example: # # -> { "execute": "quit" } # <- { "return": {} } # ## That's roughly following the following EBNF grammar: api_comment = "##\n" comment "##\n" comment = freeform_comment | symbol_comment freeform_comment = { "# " text "\n" | "#\n" } symbol_comment = "# @" name ":\n" { member | tag_section | freeform_comment } member = "# @" name ':' [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment tag_section = "# " ( "Returns:", "Since:", "Note:", "Notes:", "Example:", "Examples:" ) [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment text = free text with markup Note that the grammar is ambiguous: a line "# @foo:\n" can be parsed both as freeform_comment and as symbol_comment. The actual parser recognizes symbol_comment. See docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more details. Deficiencies and limitations: - the generated QMP documentation includes internal types - union type support is lacking - type information is lacking in generated documentation - doc comment error message positions are imprecise, they point to the beginning of the comment. - a few minor issues, all marked TODO/FIXME in the code Signed-off-by: Marc-André Lureau <marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20170113144135.5150-16-marcandre.lureau@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> [test-qapi.py tweaked to avoid trailing empty lines in .out] Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
