[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] target-i386: move CPU object creation to cpu.c

[Eduardo Habkost]

This small series moves the X86CPU object creation to the cpu.c code, as the
object creation will depend on the CPU class lookup, that will be done inside
cpu.c.

I expect this to make the x86 CPU subclass work simpler. Maybe it will help
simplify some of the CPU properties work, too.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] target-i386: move CPU object creation to cpu.c

[Eduardo Habkost]

As we will need to create the CPU object after splitting the CPU model
string (because we're going to use different subclasses for each CPU
model), move the CPU object creation to cpu_x86_register(), and at the
same time rename cpu_x86_register() to cpu_x86_create().

This will also simplify the CPU creation code to a trivial
cpu_x86_create()+cpu_x86_realize() sequence. This will be useful for
code that have to set additional properties before cpu_x86_realize() is
called (e.g. the PC CPU initialization code, that needs to set APIC IDs
depending on the CPU cores/threads topology).

Igor just sent "[PATCH 0/6] x86 CPU cleanup (wave 2)", that conflicts
a little with this series.

As the series he sent is larger and some of the patches got some reviews
and comments previously, I will rebase this on top of his series and
resubmit.

perhaps it would be better to move cpu_x86_init() inside cpu.c and embed
cpu_x86_register() in it, as you have done in one of yours series, and avoid
creating intermediate cpu_x86_create() when the end result of cpu subclasses
& properties should become a simple cpu_x86_init():
 1. lookup class name, 2. get cpu instance , 3. set properties, 4. realize()

I don't think cpu_x86_create() is an intermediate code, it is becoming
what will be the final CPU creation code.

cpu_x86_create() is now doing all steps you suggest above above, except
for step 4 (realize). But leaving the realize() call outside of cpu.c is
actually a feature, because some code will need to do additional
initialization steps between steps 3 and 4 (so that code will become a
simple create()+[additional steps]+realize() function).

I believe that moving the object creation to cpu.c only (instead of the
whole cpu_x86_init() function) ended up being much simpler than the
original approach I used (that was moving the entire cpu_x86_init()
function to cpu.c).

cpu_x86_init() is now just a create()+realize() helper, and nothing
else, and I believe we won't need to touch it anymore except at some
point in the future when (hopefully) we will kill it and replace with a
generic target-independent function.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] target-i386: make cpu_x86_create() get Error argument

[Eduardo Habkost]

Instead of forcing the caller to guess what went wrong while creating
the CPU object, return error information in a Error argument.

Also, as cpu_x86_create() won't print error messages itself anymore,
change cpu_x86_init() to print any error returned by cpu_x86_create()
or cpu_x86_realize().

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] target-i386: move CPU object creation to cpu.c (v2)

[Eduardo Habkost]

This small series moves the X86CPU object creation to the cpu.c code, as the
object creation will depend on the CPU class lookup, that will be done inside
cpu.c.

I expect this to make the x86 CPU subclass work simpler. Maybe it will help
simplify some of the CPU properties work, too.

This version is simply a rebase of v1 on top of Igor's series:
  Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/6] x86 CPU cleanup (wave 2)

Git branch for testing:
  git://github.com/ehabkost/qemu-hacks.git cpu-x86-create.v2
  https://github.com/ehabkost/qemu-hacks/tree/cpu-x86-create.v2

As Igor have suggested instead moving cpu_x86_init() to cpu.c, I will try to
explain the rationale, here:

The CPU creation consists of multiple steps:

1) Splitting cpu_model string into CPU model name and feature string;
2) Choosing the CPU model class;
3) Creating CPU object;
4) Parsing feature string;
5) cpu_x86_realize()

And:
 * cpu_x86_register() already does steps 1 and 4.
 * cpu_x86_init() does steps 2, 3, and 5
 * We need to separate step 5 from the rest, as step 5 will eventually
   become the realize() method of the CPU object.

To accomplish that, the first patch in this series simply moves 3 lines of code
(steps 2 and 3) from cpu_x86_init() to cpu_x86_register(), and renames
cpu_x86_register() to cpu_x86_create(), so now:

 * cpu_x86_create() does steps 1 to 4
 * cpu_x86_init() simply become a trivial wrapper to call cpu_x86_create()
   (steps 1-4) and cpu_x86_realize() (step 5)

if x86_cpu_realize() behave as visit* functions, i.e. return early if
error has been already set, error check & goto could be removed here
and above and consolidated at function exit.

It could be something like:

  if (features && cpu_x86_parse_featurestr(def, features) < 0) {
      ...
  }

Both options are reasonable to me.

Because the other functions called above don't get an Error object
(yet).  :-)

I'm not sure I want to use that coding style. Expecting every function
to abort in the beginning if Error is set sounds fragile, to me. I would
even expect the maintainers to complain if I wrote the code that way (as
I never saw that style being used in any code except the visitors).

The visitors seem to be different because they are called from
