[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-3.2 v5 00/19] Generalize machine compatibility properties

[Marc-André Lureau]

Hi,

During "[PATCH v2 05/10] qom/globals: generalize
object_property_set_globals()" review, Eduardo suggested to rework the
GlobalProperty handling, so that -global is limited to QDev only and
we avoid mixing the machine compats and the user-provided -global
properties (instead of generalizing -global to various object kinds,
like I proposed in v2).

"qdev: do not mix compat props with global props" patch decouples a
bit user-provided -global from machine compat properties. This allows
to get rid of "user_provided" and "errp" fields in following patches.

Instead of explcitely calling object_apply_global_props() in the
various object post_init, I opted for creating a new TYPE_COMPAT_PROPS
interface. The interface approach gives a lot more flexibility on
which objects can have compat props. This requires some interface
improvments in "qom: teach interfaces to implement post-init".

A new compat property "x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" is added
to hostmem for legacy canonical path names, set to true for -file and
-memfd with qemu < 4.0.

(this series was initially titled "[PATCH v2 00/10] hostmem: use
object "id" for memory region name with >= 3.1", but its focus is more
in refactoring the global and compatilibity properties handling now)

v5:
- replace the SET_COMPAT macros, use normal function instead
  (suggested by Eduardo)
- replace the TYPE_COMPAT_PROPS interface approach for explicit
  object_apply_compat_props(), solving post-init ordering issues.
- get back to coupling compat properties with machine, in qdev
  (although there is still some discussion how to improve this, it
   can be changed later)
- mark the "arm: replace instance_post_init()" as RFC, since it is not
  longer required for this series
- change machines version from 3.2 to 4.0
- add some r-b tags

v4:
- fix accel/machine compat props apply order inversion
- split "qdev: do not mix compat props with global props": replace
  using current_machine by new compat_props global, introduce
  SET_COMPAT() macro, use GPtrArray.
- add a comment about "qdev-props: call object_apply_global_props()"
  error reporting
- add "arm: replace instance_post_init()", to solve the post-init
  ordering issue
- add "hw/arm/virt: add virt-3.2 machine type" for completeness
- commit message improvements
- rebased, add r-b tags

v3:
- GlobalProperties improvements/cleanups
- drop generalizing the -global idea
- "replace" the set_globals flag with a TYPE_COMPAT_PROPS interface
- update hw/i386 machine version to 3.2
- add "qom: make interface types abstract" interface cleanup

v2:
- replace "qom/user-creatable: add a few helper macros" patch for a
  more optimized "qom: make user_creatable_complete() specific to
  UserCreatable"
- rename register_global_list() to register_global_properties()
- call object_property_set_globals() after post-init
- add and use a ObjectClass.set_globals flag, instead of dynamically
  check object class in object_property_set_globals()
- use object "id" in >= 3.1 instead of canonical path, add compat
  property "x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" in base hostmem
  class.

Marc-André Lureau (19):
  tests: qdev_prop_check_globals() doesn't return "all_used"
  qom: make interface types abstract
  qom: make user_creatable_complete() specific to UserCreatable
  accel: register global_props like machine globals
  qdev: move qdev_prop_register_global_list() to tests
  qom: remove unimplemented class_finalize
  hw: apply accel compat properties without touching globals
  hw: apply machine compat properties without touching globals
  hw: remove SET_MACHINE_COMPAT
  qdev: make a separate helper function to apply compat properties
  qdev: all globals are now user-provided
  qdev-props: convert global_props to GPtrArray
  qdev-props: remove errp from GlobalProperty
  qdev-props: call object_apply_global_props()
  qom: add object_class_get_class_data()
  RFC: arm: replace instance_post_init()
  hw/i386: add pc-i440fx-4.0 & pc-q35-4.0
  hw/arm/virt: add virt-4.0 machine type
  hostmem: use object id for memory region name with >= 4.0
