2018-10-16tests: remove gcov-files- variablesPaolo Bonzini
Commit 31d2dda ("build-system: remove per-test GCOV reporting", 2018-06-20) removed users of the variables, since those uses can be replaced by a simple overall report produced by gcovr. However, the variables were never removed. Do it now.

2018-10-01qcow2: Increase the default upper limit on the L2 cache sizeLeonid Bloch
The upper limit on the L2 cache size is increased from 1 MB to 32 MB on Linux platforms, and to 8 MB on other platforms (this difference is caused by the ability to set intervals for cache cleaning on Linux platforms only). This is done in order to allow default full coverage with the L2 cache for images of up to 256 GB in size (was 8 GB). Note, that only the needed amount to cover the full image is allocated. The value which is changed here is just the upper limit on the L2 cache size, beyond which it will not grow, even if the size of the image will require it to.

2018-10-01qcow2: Assign the L2 cache relatively to the image sizeLeonid Bloch
Sufficient L2 cache can noticeably improve the performance when using large images with frequent I/O. Previously, unless 'cache-size' was specified and was large enough, the L2 cache was set to a certain size without taking the virtual image size into account. Now, the L2 cache assignment is aware of the virtual size of the image, and will cover the entire image, unless the cache size needed for that is larger than a certain maximum. This maximum is set to 1 MB by default (enough to cover an 8 GB image with the default cluster size) but can be increased or decreased using the 'l2-cache-size' option. This option was previously documented as the *maximum* L2 cache size, and this patch makes it behave as such, instead of as a constant size. Also, the existing option 'cache-size' can limit the sum of both L2 and refcount caches, as previously.

This patch adds edid support to the qemu stdvga. It is turned off by default and can be enabled with the new edid property. The patch also adds xres and yres properties to specify the video mode you want the guest use. Works only with edid enabled and updated guest driver. The mmio bar of the stdvga has some unused address space at the start. It was reserved just in case it'll be needed for virtio, but it turned out to not be needed for that. So let's use that region to place the EDID data block there. Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Message-id: 20180925075646.25114-6-kraxel@redhat.com

2018-08-28qapi: Add comments to aid debugging generated introspectionEric Blake
We consciously chose in commit 1a9a507b to hide QAPI type names from the introspection output on the wire, but added a command line option -u to unmask the type name when doing a debug build. The unmask option still remains useful to some other forms of automated analysis, so it will not be removed; however, when it is not in use, the generated .c file can be hard to read. At the time when we first introduced masking, the generated file consisted only of a monolithic C string, so there was no clean way to inject any comments. Later, in commit 7d0f982b, we switched the generation to output a QLit object, in part to make it easier for future addition of conditional compilation. In fact, commit d626b6c1 took advantage of this by passing a tuple instead of a bare object for encoding the output of conditionals. By extending that tuple, we can now interject strategic comments. For now, type name debug aid comments are only output once per meta-type, rather than at all uses of the number used to encode the type within the introspection data. But this is still a lot more convenient than having to regenerate the file with the unmask operation temporarily turned on - merely search the generated file for '"NNN" =' to learn the corresponding source name and associated definition of type NNN. The generated qapi-introspect.c changes only with the addition of comments, such as: | @@ -14755,6 +15240,7 @@ | { "name", QLIT_QSTR("[485]"), }, | {} | })), | + /* "485" = QCryptoBlockInfoLUKSSlot */ | QLIT_QDICT(((QLitDictEntry[]) { | { "members", QLIT_QLIST(((QLitObject[]) { | QLIT_QDICT(((QLitDictEntry[]) { Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20180827213943.33524-3-eblake@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> [Rebased, update to qapi-code-gen.txt corrected] Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>

They can't actually fail, because all they do with the argument is passing it to functions that can't fail: the QObject output visitor, and the @qmp_emit callback, which is either monitor_qapi_event_queue() or event_test_emit().

2018-08-24docs/interop/qmp-spec: How to force known good parser stateMarkus Armbruster
Section "QGA Synchronization" specifies that sending "a raw 0xFF sentinel byte" makes the server "reset its state and discard all pending data prior to the sentinel." What actually happens there is a lexical error, which will produce one or more error responses. Moreover, it's not specific to QGA. Create new section "Forcing the JSON parser into known-good state" to document the technique properly. Rewrite section "QGA Synchronization" to document just the other direction, i.e. command guest-sync-delimited. Section "Protocol Specification" mentions "synchronization bytes (documented below)". Delete that. While there, fix it not to claim '"Server" is QEMU itself', but '"Server" is either QEMU or the QEMU Guest Agent'.

2018-08-10hostmem-file: add the 'pmem' optionJunyan He
When QEMU emulates vNVDIMM labels and migrates vNVDIMM devices, it needs to know whether the backend storage is a real persistent memory, in order to decide whether special operations should be performed to ensure the data persistence. This boolean option 'pmem' allows users to specify whether the backend storage of memory-backend-file is a real persistent memory. If 'pmem=on', QEMU will set the flag RAM_PMEM in the RAM block of the corresponding memory region. If 'pmem' is set while lack of libpmem support, a error is generated.

2018-07-03qmp: Redo how the client requests out-of-band executionMarkus Armbruster
Commit cf869d53172 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" added a general mechanism for command-independent arguments just for an out-of-band flag: The "control" key is introduced to store this extra flag. "control" field is used to store arguments that are shared by all the commands, rather than command specific arguments. Let "run-oob" be the first. However, it failed to reject unknown members of "control". For instance, in QMP command {"execute": "query-name", "id": 42, "control": {"crap": true}} "crap" gets silently ignored. Instead of fixing this, revert the general "control" mechanism (because YAGNI), and do it the way I initially proposed, with key "exec-oob". Simpler code, simpler interface. An out-of-band command {"execute": "migrate-pause", "id": 42, "control": {"run-oob": true}} becomes {"exec-oob": "migrate-pause", "id": 42} Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Message-Id: <20180703085358.13941-13-armbru@redhat.com> [Commit message typo fixed]
2018-07-03qmp: Make "id" optional again even in "oob" monitorsMarkus Armbruster
Commit cf869d53172 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" made "id" mandatory for all commands when the client accepted capability "oob". This is rather onerous when you play with QMP by hand, and unnecessarily so: only out-of-band commands need an ID for reliable matching of response to command. Revert that part of commit cf869d53172 for now, but have documentation advise on the need to use "id" with out-of-band commands.

2018-07-03docs/interop/qmp: Improve OOB documentationMarkus Armbruster
OOB documentation is spread over qmp-spec.txt sections 2.2.1 Capabilities and 2.3 Issuing Commands. The amount of detail is a bit distracting there. Move the meat of the matter to new section 2.3.1 Out of band execution. Throw in a few other improvements while there: * 2.2 Server Greeting: Drop advice to search entire capabilities array; should be obvious. * 3. QMP Examples - 3.1 Server Greeting: Update greeting to the one we expect for the release. Now shows capability "oob". Update qmp-intro.txt likewise. - 3.2 Capabilities negotiation: Show client accepting capability "oob". - 3.7 Out-of-band execution: New.

Accept 'if' key in top-level elements, accepted as string or list of string type. The following patches will modify the test visitor to check the value is correctly saved, and generate #if/#endif code (as a single #if/endif line or a series for a list). Example of 'if' key: { 'struct': 'TestIfStruct', 'data': { 'foo': 'int' }, 'if': 'defined(TEST_IF_STRUCT)' } The generated code is for now *unconditional*. Later patches generate the conditionals.

2018-06-22qapi: allow empty branches in flat unionsAnton Nefedov
It often happens that just a few discriminator values imply extra data in a flat union. Existing checks did not make possible to leave other values uncovered. Such cases had to be worked around by either stating a dummy (empty) type or introducing another (subset) discriminator enumeration. Both options create redundant entities in qapi files for little profit. With this patch it is not necessary anymore to add designated union fields for every possible value of a discriminator enumeration.
