[PATCH-for-10.1 v2 00/13] hw/arm: Remove virt-2.6 up to virt-2.12 machines

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

The versioned 'virt' machines up to 2.12 been marked as deprecated
two releases ago, and are older than 6 years, so according to our
support policy we can remove them. Remove associated dead code.

Since v1:
- Corrected disallow_affinity_adjustment removal (Thomas)
- Do not modify docs/about/removed-features.rst (Thomas & Daniel)

[PATCH-for-10.1 v2 01/13] hw/arm/virt: Remove deprecated virt-2.6 machine

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

This machine has been supported for a period of more than 6 years.
According to our versioned machine support policy (see commit
ce80c4fa6ff "docs: document special exception for machine type
deprecation & removal") it can now be removed.

32-bit KVM hosts are dead a long time, so we could definitely trim
this comment to at least remove those sentences. We'd also have
to double check arm64 KVM to see if the comment is still accurate,
since the comment is so old. Or, we could just delete the comment.

I agree that this comment needs an update, but it could also be done in a 
separate patch later, so from my side for this patch here:

[PATCH-for-10.1 v2 10/13] hw/arm/virt: Remove deprecated virt-2.11 machine

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

This machine has been supported for a period of more than 6 years.
According to our versioned machine support policy (see commit
ce80c4fa6ff "docs: document special exception for machine type
deprecation & removal") it can now be removed.

Why? IMHO it should be ok to include them now already. While Daniel's macro 
only starts the automatic disablement for 10.1, it should be ok to remove 
them now already according to our normal deprecation policy: The machines 
have been marked as deprecated in the 9.1 release already (via commit 
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/ce80c4fa6ff ), and thus they 
have been deprecated since two releases already. So it should be fine to 
remove them now, shouldn't it?

No, because as of 9.1.0 we documented that machine types are under the
new policy, and these were only deprecated in 9.1.0, hence the new policy
applies to them.

Hm, I guess we could argue now about the wording (I don't see a spot in 
ce80c4fa6ff that says that this only happens starting with 10.1), but in the 
long run, it doesn't really matter much whether we remove these machines 
with 10.0 already or just with 10.1, so let's go with 10.1 instead.

That's the wrong commit - I documented the delayed impl of deletion
in a separate commit, so that we could just revert that part on its
own in 10.1 dev:

  commit c9fd2d9a48ee3c195cf83cc611b87b09f02f0013
  Author: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
  Date:   Thu Jun 20 17:57:37 2024 +0100

    include/hw: temporarily disable deletion of versioned machine types
    
    The new deprecation and deletion policy for versioned machine types is
    being introduced in QEMU 9.1.0.
    
    Under the new policy a number of old machine types (any prior to 2.12)
    would be liable for immediate deletion which would be a violation of our
    historical deprecation and removal policy
    
    Thus automatic deletions (by skipping QOM registration) are temporarily
    gated on existance of the env variable "QEMU_DELETE_MACHINES" / QEMU
    version number >= 10.1.0. This allows opt-in testing of the automatic
    deletion logic, while activating it fully in QEMU >= 10.1.0.
    
    This whole commit should be reverted in the 10.1.0 dev cycle or shortly
    thereafter.

If a machine type was deprected *before* the 9.1 release cycle, I think
it is fair game to delete it under the historical deprecation rules.

If a machine type was deprecated in 9.1, or later cycles, I think that
deletion is gated until 10.1.0 under the policy applied by that commit
above.

With regards,
Daniel

Applied to target-arm.next, thanks (with the tweak RTH points
out to avoid a compilation failure in patch 3).

Thank you for tweaking :)
