The original design of QIOTask was intended to simplify lifecycle
management by automatically freeing it when the task was marked as
complete. This overlooked the fact that when a QIOTask is used in
combination with a GSource, there may be times when the source
callback is never invoked. This is typically when a GSource is
released before any I/O event arrives. In such cases it is not
desirable to mark a QIOTask as complete, but it still needs to be
freed. To satisfy this, the task must be released manually.

The TLS code will create a GSource for tracking completion of the
handshake process, passing a QIOChannelTLSData struct that contains
various data items. The data struct is freed by the callback when
it completes, which means when a source is cancelled, nothing is
free'ing the data struct or its contents.
Switch to provide a data free callback to the GSource, which ensures
the QIOChannelTLSData struct is always freed even when the main event
callback never fires.

There are quite a few inappropriate uses of [...] around argument
values. The [] are intended to indicate optionality, but in some
cases it is used to wrap a set of enum values. In other cases it
is being used to show the value is entirely optional, which was
common behaviour for boolean values in the past. QEMU has deprecated
short-form boolean options for quite a while though, and we should
thus not advertize this possibility in the docs.

Functions marked with __attribute__((__constructor__)) will be
invoked in linker order. In theory this is well defined, but
in practice, it is hard to determine what this order will be
with the layers of indirection through meson, ninja and the
static libraries QEMU builds.
Notably, the order currently appears different between Linux
and Windows (as tested with Wine on Linux). This can cause
problems when certain QEMU constructors have a dependancy on
other QEMU constructors.
To address this define a QEMU_CONSTRUCTOR_EARLY constant which
provides a priority value that will run before other default
constructors. This is to be used for QEMU constructors that
are themselves self-contained, but may be relied upon by other
constructors.

Some monitor functions, most notably, monitor_cur() rely on global
data being initialized by 'monitor_init_globals()'. The latter is
called relatively late in startup. If code triggers error_report()
before monitor_init_globals() is called, QEMU will abort when
accessing the uninitialized monitor mutex.
The critical monitor global data must be initialized from a
constructor function, to improve the guarantee that it is done
before any possible calls to monitor_cur(). Not only that, but
the constructor must be marked to run before the default
constructor in case any of them trigger error reporting.
Note in particular that the RCU constructor will spawn a background
thread so we might even have non-constructor QEMU code running
concurrently with other constructors.
As a general note, constructors should be extrememly careful
about what QEMU code they invoke, as it cannot be guaranteed that
the process is fully initialized and so not all normal QEMU API
rules apply.

When thread naming was introduced years ago, it was disabled by
default and put behind a command line flag:
commit 8f480de0c91a18d550721f8d9af969ebfbda0793
Author: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Jan 30 10:20:31 2014 +0000
Add 'debug-threads' suboption to --name
This was done based on a concern that something might depend
on the historical thread naming. Thread names, however, were
never promised to be part of QEMU's public API. The defaults
will vary across platforms, so no assumptions should ever be
made about naming.
An opt-in behaviour is also unfortunately incompatible with
RCU which creates its thread from an constructor function
which is run before command line args are parsed. Thus the
RCU thread lacks any name.
libvirt has unconditionally enabled debug-threads=yes on all
VMs it creates for 10 years. Interestingly this DID expose a
bug in libvirt, as it parsed /proc/$PID/stat and could not
cope with a space in the thread name. This was a latent
pre-existing bug in libvirt though, and not a part of QEMU's
API.
Having thread names always available, will allow thread names
to be included in error reports and log messags QEMU prints
by default, which will improve ability to triage QEMU bugs.

The call to set the thread name on Win32 platforms is done by the parent
thread, after _beginthreadex() returns. At this point the new child
thread is potentially already executing its start method. To ensure the
thread name is guaranteed to be set before any "interesting" code starts
executing, it must be done in the start method of the child thread itself.

This has greater portability than directly call pthread_setname_np,
which is only 1 out of 3 possible functions for pthreads that can
set the name.
The new API requires a trampoline function, since it can only set
the name of the current thread.

The default main thread name is undefined, so use a constructor to
explicitly set it to 'main'. This constructor is marked to run early
as the thread name is intended to be used in error reporting / logs
which may be triggered very early in QEMU execution.
This is only done on Windows platforms, because on Linux (and possibly
other POSIX platforms) changing the main thread name has a side effect
of changing the process name reported by tools like 'ps' which fetch
from the file /proc/self/task/tid/comm, expecting it to be the binary
name.
The subsequent patch will address POSIX platforms in a different way.

This will be used to include the thread name in error reports
in a later patch. It returns a const string stored in a thread
local to avoid memory allocation when it is called repeatedly
in a single thread. The thread name should be set at the very
start of the thread execution, which is the case when using
qemu_thread_create.
This uses the official thread APIs for fetching thread names,
so that it captures names of threads spawned by code in 3rd
party libraries, not merely QEMU spawned thrads.
This also addresses the gap from the previous patch for setting
the name of the main thread. A constructor is used to initialize
the 'namebuf' thread-local in the main thread only.

There is a gotcha with qemu_log() usage in a threaded process.
If fragments of a log message are output via qemu_log() it is
possible for messages from two threads to get mixed up. To
prevent this qemu_log_trylock() should be used, along with
fprintf(f) calls.
This is a subtle problem that needs to be explained in the
API docs to ensure correct usage.
In the Rust code, the log_mask_ln method which is conceptually
equivalent to the C qemu_log() call will unconditionally append
a newline so must only ever be used for complete log messages.

There are three general patterns to QEMU log output
1. Single complete message calls
qemu_log("Some message\n");
2. Direct use of fprintf
FILE *f = qemu_log_trylock()
fprintf(f, "...");
fprintf(f, "...");
fprintf(f, "...\n");
qemu_log_unlock(f)
3. Mixed use of qemu_log_trylock/qemu_log()
FILE *f = qemu_log_trylock()
qemu_log("....");
qemu_log("....");
qemu_log("....\n");
qemu_log_unlock(f)
When message prefixes are enabled, the timestamp will be
unconditionally emitted for all qemu_log() calls. This
works fine in the 1st case, and has no effect in the 2nd
case. In the 3rd case, however, we get the timestamp
printed over & over in each fragment.
One can suggest that pattern (3) is pointless as it is
functionally identical to (2) but with extra indirection
and overhead. None the less we have a fair bit of code
that does this.
The qemu_log() call itself is nothing more than a wrapper
which does pattern (2) with a single fprintf() call.
One might question whether (2) should include the message
prefix in the same way that (1), but there are scenarios
where this could be inappropriate / unhelpful such as the
CPU register dumps or linux-user strace output.
This patch fixes the problem in pattern (3) by keeping
track of the call depth of qemu_log_trylock() and then
only emitting the the prefix when the starting depth
was zero. In doing this qemu_log_trylock_context() is
also introduced as a variant of qemu_log_trylock()
that emits the prefix. Callers doing to batch output
can thus choose whether a prefix is appropriate or
not.
Fixes: 012842c07552 (log: make '-msg timestamp=on' apply to all qemu_log usage)

Neither the VNC or SPICE code for password changes provides error
reporting at source, leading the callers to report a largely useless
generic error message.
Fixing this removes one of the two remaining needs for the undesirable
error_printf_unless_qmp() method.
While fixing this the error message hint is improved to recommend the
'password-secret' option which allows securely passing a password at
startup.

The vnc_display_print_local_addr() method is intended to print the VNC
listening address on the console at startup, so the user can see the
auto-chosen port address when using the 'to=' flag. This is only called
by vnc_display_open() which is in the QEMU startup callpath. The check
for not being in QMP is thus redundant and can be removed.

The only callers of these functions have been removed. Adding any
new usage of them is highly undesirable, so they should be entirely

The monitor_vprintf() code will return -1 if either the monitor
is NULL, or the monitor is QMP. The error_vprintf() code can
take advantage of this to avoid having to duplicate the same
checks, and instead simply look at the return value.

The current unit tests rely on monitor.o not being linked, such
that the monitor stubs get linked instead. Since error_vprintf
is in monitor.o this allows a stub error_vprintf impl to be used
that calls g_test_message.
This takes a different approach, with error_vprintf moving
back to error-report.c such that it is always linked into the
tests. The monitor_vprintf() stub is then changed to use
g_test_message if QTEST_SILENT_ERRORS is set, otherwise it will
return -1 and trigger error_vprintf to call vfprintf.
The end result is functionally equivalent for the purposes of
the unit tests.

The monitor_cur_hmp() function will acquire/release mutex locks, which
will trigger trace probes, which can in turn trigger qemu_log() calls.
vreport() calls monitor_cur() multiple times through its execution
both directly and indirectly via error_vprintf().
The result is that the prefix information printed by vreport() gets
interleaved with qemu_log() output, when run outside the context of
an HMP command dispatcher. This can be seen with:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
-msg timestamp=on,guest-name=on \
-display none \
-object tls-creds-x509,id=f,dir=fish \
-name fish \

To avoid this interleaving (as well as reduce the huge number of
mutex lock/unlock calls) we need to ensure that monitor_cur_is_hmp()
is only called once at the start of vreport(), and if no HMP is
present, no further monitor APIs can be called.
This implies error_[v]printf() cannot be called from vreport().
Instead we must introduce error_[v]printf_mon() which accept a
pre-acquired Monitor object. In some cases, however, fprintf
can be called directly as output will never be directed to the
monitor.

The vreport() function will print to HMP if available, otherwise
to stderr. In the event that vreport() is called during execution
of a QMP command, it will print to stderr, but mistakenly omit the
message prefixes (timestamp, guest name, program name).
This new usage of monitor_is_cur_qmp() from vreport() requires that
we add a stub to satisfy linking of non-system emulator binaries.

The vreport() function will optionally emit an prefix for error
messages which is output to stderr incrementally. In the event
that two vreport() calls execute concurrently, there is a risk
that the prefix output will interleave. To address this it is
required to take a lock on 'stderr' when outputting errors.

We recently improved the MAINTAINERS update warning to show the files
that trigger it. Example:
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#105:
deleted file mode 100644
improved to
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s):
migration/threadinfo.h
migration/threadinfo.c
Does MAINTAINERS need updating?
Unfortunately, this made things worse with --terse, as only the first
line of each warning is shown then.
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
became
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s):
Adjust the warning text to
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
migration/threadinfo.h
migration/threadinfo.c
so we get the exact same warning as we used to with --terse.

Increase MAX_MEM_PREALLOC_THREAD_COUNT from 16 to 32. This was last
touched in 2017 [1] and, since then, physical machine sizes and VMs
therein have continue to get even bigger, both on average and on the
extremes.
For very large VMs, using 16 threads to preallocate memory can be a
non-trivial bottleneck during VM start-up and migration. Increasing
this limit to 32 threads reduces the time taken for these operations.
Test results from quad socket Intel 8490H (4x 60 cores) show a fairly
linear gain of 50% with the 2x thread count increase.
---------------------------------------------
Idle Guest w/ 2M HugePages | Start-up time
---------------------------------------------
240 vCPU, 7.5TB (16 threads) | 2m41.955s
---------------------------------------------
240 vCPU, 7.5TB (32 threads) | 1m19.404s
---------------------------------------------
Note: Going above 32 threads appears to have diminishing returns at
the point where the memory bandwidth and context switching costs
appear to be a limiting factor to linear scaling. For posterity, on
the same system as above:
- 32 threads: 1m19s
- 48 threads: 1m4s
- 64 threads: 59s
- 240 threads: 50s
Additional thread counts also get less interesting as the amount of
memory is to be preallocated is smaller. Putting that all together,
32 threads appears to be a sane number with a solid speedup on fairly
modern hardware. To go faster, we'd either need to improve the hardware
(CPU/memory) itself or improve clear_pages_*() on the kernel side to
be more efficient.

Something in this consistently causes the s390x runner
to fail the test-migration test:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/13367184083
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/13366572115
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/13339069533
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/13336989367
This was a CI run together with the loongarch pullreq, but
that has just passed this job when run in CI on its own:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/jobs/13367800326
so it seems like this pullreq is the one causing the s390x
failures.
thanks

Yep, the migration-test seems to be failing in a TLS related test
case, which certainly points the finger at the early TLS patch
in this series.

There was a failure to unref an object which caused the hang. I've
sent a v2 pull request with this fix.
