This provides a foundation on which to convert simple HMP commands to
use QMP. The QMP implementation will generate formatted text targeted
for human consumption, returning it in the HumanReadableText data type.
The HMP command handler will simply print out the formatted string
within the HumanReadableText data type. Since this will be an entirely
formulaic action in the case of HMP commands taking no arguments, a
custom command handler is provided.
Thus instead of registering a 'cmd' callback for the HMP command, a
'cmd_info_hrt' callback is provided, which will simply be a pointer
to the QMP implementation.

New option parameters unstable-input and unstable-output set policy
for unstable interfaces just like deprecated-input and
deprecated-output set policy for deprecated interfaces (see commit
6dd75472d5 "qemu-options: New -compat to set policy for deprecated
interfaces"). This is intended for testing users of the management
interfaces. It is experimental.
For now, this covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged
with feature 'unstable'. We may want to extend it to cover semantic
aspects, or the command line.
Note that there is no good way for management application to detect
presence of these new option parameters: they are not visible output
of query-qmp-schema or query-command-line-options. Tolerable, because
it's meant for testing. If running with -compat fails, skip the test.

The code to check enumeration value policy can see special feature
flag 'deprecated' in QEnumLookup member flags[value]. I want to make
feature flag 'unstable' visible there as well, so I can add policy for

Instead of extending flags[], replace it by @special_features (a

The code to check command policy can see special feature flag

To let me make it visible, add member @special_features (a bitset of

through qmp_register_command(). Then replace "QCO_DEPRECATED in
@flags" by QAPI_DEPRECATED in @special_features", and drop
QCO_DEPRECATED.

The generated visitor functions call visit_deprecated_accept() and
visit_deprecated() when visiting a struct member with special feature
flag 'deprecated'. This makes the feature flag visible to the actual
visitors. I want to make feature flag 'unstable' visible there as
well, so I can add policy for it.
To let me make it visible, replace these functions by
visit_policy_reject() and visit_policy_skip(), which take the member's
special features as an argument. Note that the new functions have the
opposite sense, i.e. the return value flips.

This new adaptor visitor takes a single field of the adaptee, and exposes it
with a different name.
This will be used for QOM alias properties. Alias targets can of course
have a different name than the alias property itself (e.g. a machine's
pflash0 might be an alias of a property named 'drive'). When the target's
getter or setter invokes the visitor, it will use a different name than
what the caller expects, and the visitor will not be able to find it
(or will consume erroneously).
The solution is for alias getters and setters to wrap the incoming
visitor, and forward the sole field that the target is expecting while
renaming it appropriately.

New option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated
interfaces get used. This is intended for testing users of the
management interfaces. It is experimental.
-compat deprecated-input=<input-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated input is received. Input policy can be "accept" (accept
silently), or "reject" (reject the request with an error).
-compat deprecated-output=<out-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated output is sent. Output policy can be "accept" (pass on
unchanged), or "hide" (filter out the deprecated parts).
Default is "accept". Policies other than "accept" are implemented
later in this series.
For now, -compat covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff
tagged with feature 'deprecated'. We may want to extend it to cover
semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features.
Note that there is no good way for management application to detect
presence of -compat: it's not visible output of query-qmp-schema or
query-command-line-options. Tolerable, because it's meant for

Commit 8118f0950f "migration: Append JSON description of migration
stream" needs a JSON writer. The existing qobject_to_json() wasn't a
good fit, because it requires building a QObject to convert. Instead,
migration got its very own JSON writer, in commit 190c882ce2 "QJSON:
Add JSON writer". It tacitly limits numbers to int64_t, and strings
contents to characters that don't need escaping, unlike
qobject_to_json().
The previous commit factored the JSON writer out of qobject_to_json().
Replace migration's JSON writer by it.

We have two JSON writers written in C: qobject/qjson.c provides
qobject_to_json(), and migration/qjson.c provides a more low level
imperative interface. They don't share code. The latter tacitly
limits numbers to int64_t, and strings contents to characters that
don't need escaping.
Factor out qobject_to_json()'s JSON writer as qobject/json-writer.c.
Straightforward, except for numbers: since the writer is to be
independent of QObject, it can't use qnum_to_string(). Open-code it
instead. This is actually an improvement of sorts, because it
liberates qnum_to_string() from JSON's needs: its JSON-related FIXMEs
move to the JSON writer, where they belong.
The next commit will replace migration/qjson.c.

qobject_to_json() and qobject_to_json_pretty() build a GString, then
covert it to QString. Just one of the callers actually needs a
QString: qemu_rbd_parse_filename(). A few others need a string they
can modify: qmp_send_response(), qga's send_response(), to_json_str(),
and qmp_fd_vsend_fds(). The remainder just need a string.
Change qobject_to_json() and qobject_to_json_pretty() to return the
GString.
qemu_rbd_parse_filename() now has to convert to QString. All others
save a QString temporary. to_json_str() actually becomes a bit
simpler, because GString provides more convenient modification
functions.

QString supports modifying its string, but it's quite limited: you can
only append. The remaining callers use it for building an initial
string, never for modifying it later.
Use of GString for building the initial string is actually more
convenient here. Change qobject_to_json() & friends to do that.
Once all such uses are replaced this way, QString can become immutable.

block.c has a useful macro QAPI_LIST_ADD() for inserting at the front
of any QAPI-generated list; move it from block.c to qapi/util.h so
more places can use it, including one earlier place in block.c, and
rename it to something more obvious (since we also have a lot of
places that append, rather than prepend, to a list).
There are many more places in the codebase that can benefit from using
the macro, but converting them will be left to later patches.
In theory, all QAPI list types are child classes of GenericList; but
in practice, that relationship is not explicitly spelled out in the C
type declarations (rather, it is something that happens implicitly due
to C compatible layouts), and the macro does not actually depend on
the GenericList type. We considered moving GenericList from visitor.h
into util.h to group related code; however, such a move would be
awkward if we do not also move GenericAlternate. Unfortunately,
moving GenericAlternate would introduce its own problems of
declaration circularity (qapi-builtin-types.h needs a complete
definition of QEnumLookup from util.h, but GenericAlternate needs a
complete definition of QType from qapi-builtin-types.h).

Script adds ERRP_GUARD() macro invocations where appropriate and
does corresponding changes in code (look for details in
include/qapi/error.h)
Usage example:
spatch --sp-file scripts/coccinelle/errp-guard.cocci \
--macro-file scripts/cocci-macro-file.h --in-place --no-show-diff \
--max-width 80 FILES...

[ERRP_AUTO_PROPAGATE() renamed to ERRP_GUARD(), and
auto-propagated-errp.cocci to errp-guard.cocci]
|
|
Introduce a new ERRP_GUARD() macro, to be used at start of functions
with an errp OUT parameter.
It has three goals:
1. Fix issue with error_fatal and error_prepend/error_append_hint: the
user can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in
error_setg earlier than information is added. [Reported by Greg Kurz]
2. Fix issue with error_abort and error_propagate: when we wrap
error_abort by local_err+error_propagate, the resulting coredump will
refer to error_propagate and not to the place where error happened.
(the macro itself doesn't fix the issue, but it allows us to [3.] drop
the local_err+error_propagate pattern, which will definitely fix the
issue) [Reported by Kevin Wolf]
3. Drop local_err+error_propagate pattern, which is used to workaround
void functions with errp parameter, when caller wants to know resulting
status. (Note: actually these functions could be merely updated to
return int error code).
To achieve these goals, later patches will add invocations
of this macro at the start of functions with either use
error_prepend/error_append_hint (solving 1) or which use
local_err+error_propagate to check errors, switching those
functions to use *errp instead (solving 2 and 3).

This merely codifies existing practice, with one exception: the rule
advising against returning void, where existing practice is mixed.
When the Error API was created, we adopted the (unwritten) rule to
return void when the function returns no useful value on success,
unlike GError, which recommends to return true on success and false on
error then.
When a function returns a distinct error value, say false, a checked
call that passes the error up looks like
if (!frobnicate(..., errp)) {
handle the error...
}
When it returns void, we need
Error *err = NULL;
frobnicate(..., &err);
if (err) {
handle the error...
error_propagate(errp, err);
}
Not only is this more verbose, it also creates an Error object even
when @errp is null, &error_abort or &error_fatal.
People got tired of the additional boilerplate, and started to ignore
the unwritten rule. The result is confusion among developers about
the preferred usage.
Make the rule advising against returning void official by putting it
in writing. This will hopefully reduce confusion.
Update the examples accordingly.
The remainder of this series will update a substantial amount of code
to honor the rule.

Mark a bad example more clearly. Fix the error_propagate_prepend()
example. Add a missing declaration and a second error pileup example.
