[PATCH 00/31] September maintainer omnibus (tests, gdbstub, plugins)

[Alex Bennée]

Hi,

This wraps up my current testing, gdbstub and plugin trees in an
attempt to do my part to reduce the qemu-devel fire hose.

For testing we have a number of cleanups to configure to better handle
selecting the container engine (removing the ability to dynamically
switch). I had to do this as one of my build boxes has recently
acquired a broken podman install. There are also some updates to
avocado sbsa-ref as well as tweaks to the gitlab setup to minimise the
amount of wheel spinning we do. The deprecation of CRIS is a little
provocative but if we do want to keep it we need to stop relying on a
rapidly dated fedora image to do it. Finally we include the swtpm
package to widen the testing we do through avocado.

The gdbstub updates are from Akihiko and include a bunch of clean-ups
that will hopefully pave the way for another series which allows the
plugins to access register values using the gdb backend to source the
data.

Finally the plugins has a few fixes which includes a tweak to make SH4
atomic modelling more plugin friendly. This allows for Matt's fix to
deal with non-regular instruction encoding spanning pages. I also fix
a number of coverity warnings.

The final time control patches are still RFC and not ready for merging
but I include them for completeness.

The following still need review:

  contrib/plugins: add iops plugin example for cost modelling
  plugins: add time control API
  sysemu: generalise qtest_warp_clock as qemu_clock_advance_virtual_time
  qtest: use cpu interface in qtest_clock_warp (1 acks, 1 sobs, 0 tbs)
  contrib/plugins: fix coverity warning in hotblocks
  contrib/plugins: fix coverity warning in lockstep
  contrib/plugins: fix coverity warning in cache
  configure: ensure dependency for cross-compile setup
  configure: remove gcc version suffixes
  configure: allow user to override docker engine
  tests/docker: make docker engine choice entirely configure driven
  docs: mark CRIS support as deprecated
  tests/lcitool: add swtpm to the package list

Akihiko Odaki (12):
  gdbstub: Fix target_xml initialization
  gdbstub: Fix target.xml response
  plugins: Check if vCPU is realized
  contrib/plugins: Use GRWLock in execlog
  gdbstub: Introduce GDBFeature structure
  target/arm: Move the reference to arm-core.xml
  hw/core/cpu: Return static value with gdb_arch_name()
  gdbstub: Use g_markup_printf_escaped()
  target/arm: Remove references to gdb_has_xml
  target/ppc: Remove references to gdb_has_xml
  gdbstub: Remove gdb_has_xml variable
  gdbstub: Replace gdb_regs with an array

Alex Bennée (15):
  tests/lcitool: add swtpm to the package list
  gitlab: shuffle some targets and reduce avocado noise
  docs: mark CRIS support as deprecated
  tests/docker: make docker engine choice entirely configure driven
  configure: allow user to override docker engine
  configure: remove gcc version suffixes
  configure: ensure dependency for cross-compile setup
  contrib/plugins: fix coverity warning in cache
  contrib/plugins: fix coverity warning in lockstep

  plugins: add time control API
  contrib/plugins: add iops plugin example for cost modelling

Marcin Juszkiewicz (1):
  tests/avocado: update firmware to enable sbsa-ref/neoverse-v1

[PATCH 01/31] tests/avocado: update firmware to enable sbsa-ref/neoverse-v1

[Alex Bennée]

From: Marcin Juszkiewicz <marcin.juszkiewicz@linaro.org>

Update prebuilt firmware images to have TF-A with Neoverse V1 support enabled.
This allowed us to enable test for this cpu in sbsa-ref machine.

[PATCH 03/31] gitlab: shuffle some targets and reduce avocado noise

[Alex Bennée]

We move a couple of targets out of the avocado runs because there are
no tests to run. Tricore already has some coverage.  The cris target
only really has check-tcg tests but its getting harder to find
anything that packages the compiler.

To reduce the noise of CANCEL messages we also set AVOCADO_TAGS
appropriately so we filter down the number of tests we attempt.

[PATCH 04/31] docs: mark CRIS support as deprecated

[Alex Bennée]

This might be premature but while streamling the avocado tests I
realised the only tests we have are "check-tcg" ones. The aging
fedora-criss-cross image works well enough for developers but can't be
used in CI as we need supported build platforms to build QEMU.

Does this mean the writing is on the wall for this architecture?

[PATCH 05/31] tests/docker: make docker engine choice entirely configure driven

[Alex Bennée]

Since 0b1a649047 (tests/docker: use direct RUNC call to build
containers) we ended up with the potential for the remaining docker.py
script calls to deviate from the direct RUNC calls. Fix this by
dropping the use of ENGINE in the makefile and rely entirely on what
we detect at configure time.

From: Akihiko Odaki <akihiko.odaki@daynix.com>

The created member of CPUState tells if the vCPU thread is started, and
will be always false for the user space emulation that manages threads
independently. Use the realized member of DeviceState, which is valid
for both of the system and user space emulation.

[PATCH 12/31] contrib/plugins: Use GRWLock in execlog

[Alex Bennée]

From: Akihiko Odaki <akihiko.odaki@daynix.com>

execlog had the following comment:
> As we could have multiple threads trying to do this we need to
> serialise the expansion under a lock. Threads accessing already
> created entries can continue without issue even if the ptr array
> gets reallocated during resize.

However, when the ptr array gets reallocated, the other threads may have
a stale reference to the old buffer. This results in use-after-free.

Use GRWLock to properly fix this issue.

[PATCH 13/31] gdbstub: Introduce GDBFeature structure

[Alex Bennée]

From: Akihiko Odaki <akihiko.odaki@daynix.com>

Before this change, the information from a XML file was stored in an
array that is not descriptive. Introduce a dedicated structure type to
make it easier to understand and to extend with more fields.

[PATCH 14/31] target/arm: Move the reference to arm-core.xml

[Alex Bennée]

From: Akihiko Odaki <akihiko.odaki@daynix.com>

Some subclasses overwrite gdb_core_xml_file member but others don't.
Always initialize the member in the subclasses for consistency.

This especially helps for AArch64; in a following change, the file
specified by gdb_core_xml_file is always looked up even if it's going to
be overwritten later. Looking up arm-core.xml results in an error as
it will not be embedded in the AArch64 build.

[PATCH 15/31] hw/core/cpu: Return static value with gdb_arch_name()

[Alex Bennée]

From: Akihiko Odaki <akihiko.odaki@daynix.com>

All implementations of gdb_arch_name() returns dynamic duplicates of
static strings. It's also unlikely that there will be an implementation
of gdb_arch_name() that returns a truly dynamic value due to the nature
of the function returning a well-known identifiers. Qualify the value
gdb_arch_name() with const and make all of its implementations return
static strings.

[PATCH 16/31] gdbstub: Use g_markup_printf_escaped()

[Alex Bennée]

From: Akihiko Odaki <akihiko.odaki@daynix.com>

g_markup_printf_escaped() is a safer alternative to simple printf() as
it automatically escapes values.

[PATCH 23/31] plugins: Set final instruction count in plugin_gen_tb_end

[Alex Bennée]

From: Matt Borgerson <contact@mborgerson.com>

Translation logic may partially decode an instruction, then abort and
remove the instruction from the TB. This can happen for example when an
instruction spans two pages. In this case, plugins may get an incorrect
result when calling qemu_plugin_tb_n_insns to query for the number of
instructions in the TB. This patch updates plugin_gen_tb_end to set the
final instruction count.

[RFC PATCH 28/31] qtest: use cpu interface in qtest_clock_warp

[Alex Bennée]

This generalises the qtest_clock_warp code to use the AccelOps
handlers for updating its own sense of time. This will make the next
patch which moves the warp code closer to pure code motion.

[RFC PATCH 30/31] plugins: add time control API

[Alex Bennée]

Expose the ability to control time through the plugin API. Only one
plugin can control time so it has to request control when loaded.
There are probably more corner cases to catch here.

[RFC PATCH 31/31] contrib/plugins: add iops plugin example for cost modelling

[Alex Bennée]

This plugin uses the new time control interface to make decisions
about the state of time during the emulation. The algorithm is
currently very simple. The user specifies an iops rate which applies
per core. If the core runs ahead of its allocated execution time the
plugin sleeps for a bit to let real time catch up. Either way time as
updated for the emulation as a function of total executed instructions
with some adjustments for cores that idle.

This was used when using docker-* from the source directory.  What about 
changing it to:

RUNC ?= $(if $(shell command -v docker), docker, podman)

No complaint on removing ENGINE= though.

This in practice is not adding anything; if "configure" changes then 
Makefile's dependency on config-host.mak will trigger a configure rerun 
anyway.

If you want to add it, you should also add it for other config-*.mak 
files.  However, I'd remove this line and just change

-# 1. ensure config-host.mak is up-to-date
+# 1. ensure config-host.mak is up-to-date.  All other config-*.mak
+# files for subdirectories will be updated as well.

in the Makefile.

It was deleted in Linux, and GCC dropped the cris-*linux target,
but GCC keeps other cris targets.

IOW, at very least, it has become a niche use case target.

We don't need Linux/GCC support as a pre-requisite for having a
target in QEMU, but it sure makes it increasingly challenging
to test.

Deprecated is generally a warning that we intend to delete the
feature.   If we're just going to relegate it to untested
status (what I'd call "tier 3" quality), then we should document
that elsewhere.  I don't mind which way we go.

Peter ran into a mismatch between config-host.mak and
tests/tcg/foo/config-target.mak in his build system so it didn't get
picked up at one point.

We do have reasonably good coverage with tests/tcg/cris but of course
without a compiler we can't build them.

Both nios2 and microblaze have build-toolchain scripts which can be used
to re-create containers. However my preference is having pre-built
toolchains hosted by others like we do for loongarch, hexagon, xtensa
and tricore. Then the docker image can simply curl them into an image.

But what is the rule that the new dependency is going to trigger? As far as
I can see there is no rule to regenerate the $config_target_mak files, and
also no rule to regenerate configure; the only effect of a change to
configure will be rerunning the script, but that's triggered by the
existing config-host.mak rule.

I did, but looking at the timestamps on the two files, the
problem wasn't that one file got updated and not the other:

$ grep CONFIG_PLUGIN build/x86/config-host.h
#undef CONFIG_PLUGIN
$ grep CONFIG_PLUGIN build/x86/tests/tcg/config-host.mak
CONFIG_PLUGIN=y
e104462:jammy:qemu$ ls -l build/x86/config-host.mak
build/x86/tests/tcg/config-host.mak
-rw-r--r-- 1 petmay01 petmay01 549 Sep 22 16:38 build/x86/config-host.mak
-rw-r--r-- 1 petmay01 petmay01 159 Sep 22 16:38
build/x86/tests/tcg/config-host.mak

(both newer than 'configure' itself by about 10 days.)
