2018-02-09Move include qemu/option.h from qemu-common.h to actual usersMarkus Armbruster
qemu-common.h includes qemu/option.h, but most places that include the former don't actually need the latter. Drop the include, and add it to the places that actually need it. While there, drop superfluous includes of both headers, and separate #include from file comment with a blank line. This cleanup makes the number of objects depending on qemu/option.h drop from 4545 (out of 4743) to 284 in my "build everything" tree.

2016-07-06opts-visitor: Favor new visit_free() functionEric Blake
Now that we have a polymorphic visit_free(), we no longer need opts_visitor_cleanup(); which in turn means we no longer need to return a subtype from opts_visitor_new() nor a public upcast function.

2016-05-12qapi: Simplify semantics of visit_next_list()Eric Blake
The semantics of the list visit are somewhat baroque, with the following pseudocode when FooList is used: start() for (prev = head; cur = next(prev); prev = &cur) { visit(&cur->value) } Note that these semantics (advance before visit) requires that the first call to next() return the list head, while all other calls return the next element of the list; that is, every visitor implementation is required to track extra state to decide whether to return the input as-is, or to advance. It also requires an argument of 'GenericList **' to next(), solely because the first iteration might need to modify the caller's GenericList head, so that all other calls have to do a layer of dereferencing. Thankfully, we only have two uses of list visits in the entire code base: one in spapr_drc (which completely avoids visit_next_list(), feeding in integers from a different source than uint8List), and one in qapi-visit.py. That is, all other list visitors are generated in qapi-visit.c, and share the same paradigm based on a qapi FooList type, so we can refactor how lists are laid out with minimal churn among clients. We can greatly simplify things by hoisting the special case into the start() routine, and flipping the order in the loop to visit before advance: start(head) for (tail = *head; tail; tail = next(tail)) { visit(&tail->value) } With the simpler semantics, visitors have less state to track, the argument to next() is reduced to 'GenericList *', and it also becomes obvious whether an input visitor is allocating a FooList during visit_start_list() (rather than the old way of not knowing if an allocation happened until the first visit_next_list()). As a minor drawback, we now allocate in two functions instead of one, and have to pass the size to both functions (unless we were to tweak the input visitors to cache the size to start_list for reuse during next_list, but that defeats the goal of less visitor state). The signature of visit_start_list() is chosen to match visit_start_struct(), with the new parameters after 'name'. The spapr_drc case is a virtual visit, done by passing NULL for list, similarly to how NULL is passed to visit_start_struct() when a qapi type is not used in those visits. It was easy to provide these semantics for qmp-output and dealloc visitors, and a bit harder for qmp-input (several prerequisite patches refactored things to make this patch straightforward). But it turned out that the string and opts visitors munge enough other state during visit_next_list() to make it easier to just document and require a GenericList visit for now; an assertion will remind us to adjust things if we need the semantics in the future. Several pre-requisite cleanup patches made the reshuffling of the various visitors easier; particularly the qmp input visitor.

2016-05-12qapi: Add visit_type_null() visitorEric Blake
Right now, qmp-output-visitor happens to produce a QNull result if nothing is actually visited between the creation of the visitor and the request for the resulting QObject. A stronger protocol would require that a QMP output visit MUST visit something. But to still be able to produce a JSON 'null' output, we need a new visitor function that states our intentions. Yes, we could say that such a visit must go through visit_type_any(), but that feels clunky. So this patch introduces the new visit_type_null() interface and its no-op interface in the dealloc visitor, and stubs in the qmp visitors (the next patch will finish the implementation). For the visitors that will not implement the callback, document the situation. The code in qapi-visit-core unconditionally dereferences the callback pointer, so that a segfault will inform a developer if they need to implement the callback for their choice of visitor. Note that JSON has a primitive null type, with the single value null; likewise with the QNull type for QObject; but for QAPI, we just have the 'null' value without a null type. We may eventually want to add more support in QAPI for null (most likely, we'd use it via an alternate type that permits 'null' or an object); but we'll create that usage when we need it.

2016-05-12qapi: Document visitor interfaces, add assertionsEric Blake
The visitor interface for mapping between QObject/QemuOpts/string and QAPI is scandalously under-documented, making changes to visitor core, individual visitors, and users of visitors difficult to coordinate. Among other questions: when is it safe to pass NULL, vs. when a string must be provided; which visitors implement which callbacks; the difference between concrete and virtual visits. Correct this by retrofitting proper contracts, and document where some of the interface warts remain (for example, we may want to modify visit_end_* to require the same 'obj' as the visit_start counterpart, so the dealloc visitor can be simplified). Later patches in this series will tackle some, but not all, of these warts. Add assertions to (partially) enforce the contract. Some of these were only made possible by recent cleanup commits.

Prevent mistyped command line options from incurring high memory and CPU usage at startup. 64K elements in a range should be enough for everyone (TM). The OPTS_VISITOR_RANGE_MAX macro is public so that unit tests can construct corner cases with it.
