*emulation*, they are also used by virtualization. Rename
as system/ which is clearer.

Nicolas Saenz JulienneandStefan Hajnoczi 71ad4713cc util/event-loop-base: Introduce options to set the thread pool size
The thread pool regulates itself: when idle, it kills threads until
empty, when in demand, it creates new threads until full. This behaviour
doesn't play well with latency sensitive workloads where the price of
creating a new thread is too high. For example, when paired with qemu's
'-mlock', or using safety features like SafeStack, creating a new thread
has been measured take multiple milliseconds.

In order to mitigate this let's introduce a new 'EventLoopBase'
property to set the thread pool size. The threads will be created during
the pool's initialization or upon updating the property's value, remain
available during its lifetime regardless of demand, and destroyed upon
freeing it. A properly characterized workload will then be able to
configure the pool to avoid any latency spikes.

Nicolas Saenz JulienneandStefan Hajnoczi 7d5983e3c8 Introduce event-loop-base abstract class
Introduce the 'event-loop-base' abstract class, it'll hold the
properties common to all event loops and provide the necessary hooks for
their creation and maintenance. Then have iothread inherit from it.

EventLoopBaseClass is defined as user creatable and provides a hook for
its children to attach themselves to the user creatable class 'complete'
function. It also provides an update_params() callback to propagate
property changes onto its children.

The new 'event-loop-base' class will live in the root directory. It is
built on its own using the 'link_whole' option (there are no direct
function dependencies between the class and its children, it all happens
trough 'constructor' magic). And also imposes new compilation
dependencies:

    qom <- event-loop-base <- blockdev (iothread.c)

And in subsequent patches:

    qom <- event-loop-base <- qemuutil (util/main-loop.c)

All this forced some amount of reordering in meson.build:

 - Moved qom build definition before qemuutil. Doing it the other way
   around (i.e. moving qemuutil after qom) isn't possible as a lot of
   core libraries that live in between the two depend on it.

 - Process the 'hw' subdir earlier, as it introduces files into the
   'qom' source set.

No functional changes intended.

Stefano GarzarellaandStefan Hajnoczi 1793ad0247 iothread: add aio-max-batch parameter
The `aio-max-batch` parameter will be propagated to AIO engines
and it will be used to control the maximum number of queued requests.

When there are in queue a number of requests equal to `aio-max-batch`,
the engine invokes the system call to forward the requests to the kernel.

This parameter allows us to control the maximum batch size to reduce
the latency that requests might accumulate while queued in the AIO
engine queue.

If `aio-max-batch` is equal to 0 (default value), the AIO engine will
use its default maximum batch size value.

Paolo BonziniandEric Blake 5f50be9b58 async: the main AioContext is only "current" if under the BQL
If we want to wake up a coroutine from a worker thread, aio_co_wake()
currently does not work.  In that scenario, aio_co_wake() calls
aio_co_enter(), but there is no current AioContext and therefore
qemu_get_current_aio_context() returns the main thread.  aio_co_wake()
then attempts to call aio_context_acquire() instead of going through
aio_co_schedule().

The default case of qemu_get_current_aio_context() was added to cover
synchronous I/O started from the vCPU thread, but the main and vCPU
threads are quite different.  The main thread is an I/O thread itself,
only running a more complicated event loop; the vCPU thread instead
is essentially a worker thread that occasionally calls
qemu_mutex_lock_iothread().  It is only in those critical sections
that it acts as if it were the home thread of the main AioContext.

Therefore, this patch detaches qemu_get_current_aio_context() from
iothreads, which is a useless complication.  The AioContext pointer
is stored directly in the thread-local variable, including for the
main loop.  Worker threads (including vCPU threads) optionally behave
as temporary home threads if they have taken the big QEMU lock,
but if that is not the case they will always schedule coroutines
on remote threads via aio_co_schedule().

With this change, the stub qemu_mutex_iothread_locked() must be changed
from true to false.  The previous value of true was needed because the
main thread did not have an AioContext in the thread-local variable,
but now it does have one.

Stefan Hajnoczi d73415a315 qemu/atomic.h: rename atomic_ to qatomic_
clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type
pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a
compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file
that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file:

  $ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make
  ../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid)

Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is
used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h
and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and
searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.

This patch was generated using:

  $ git grep -h -o '\<atomic\(64\)\?_[a-z0-9_]\+' include/qemu/atomic.h | \
    sort -u >/tmp/changed_identifiers
  $ for identifier in $(</tmp/changed_identifiers); do
        sed -i "s%\<$identifier\>%q$identifier%g" \
            $(git grep -I -l "\<$identifier\>")
    done

I manually fixed line-wrap issues and misaligned rST tables.

Not exactly elegant, I'm afraid.

The "when != lbl:" is necessary to avoid transforming

         if (fun(args, &err)) {
             goto out
         }
         ...
     out:
         error_propagate(errp, err);

even though other paths to label out still need the error_propagate().
For an actual example, see sclp_realize().

Without the "when strict", Coccinelle transforms vfio_msix_setup(),
incorrectly.  I don't know what exactly "when strict" does, only that
it helps here.

The match of return is narrower than what I want, but I can't figure
out how to express "return where the operand doesn't use @err".  For
an example where it's too narrow, see vfio_intx_enable().

Silently fails to convert hw/arm/armsse.c, because Coccinelle gets
confused by ARMSSE being used both as typedef and function-like macro
there.  Converted manually.

Line breaks tidied up manually.  One nested declaration of @local_err
deleted manually.  Preexisting unwanted blank line dropped in
hw/riscv/sifive_e.c.

Markus Armbruster dcfe480544 error: Avoid unnecessary error_propagate() after error_setg()
Replace

    error_setg(&err, ...);
    error_propagate(errp, err);

by

    error_setg(errp, ...);

Related pattern:

    if (...) {
        error_setg(&err, ...);
        goto out;
    }
    ...
 out:
    error_propagate(errp, err);
    return;

When all paths to label out are that way, replace by

    if (...) {
        error_setg(errp, ...);
        return;
    }

and delete the label along with the error_propagate().

When we have at most one other path that actually needs to propagate,
and maybe one at the end that where propagation is unnecessary, e.g.

    foo(..., &err);
    if (err) {
        goto out;
    }
    ...
    bar(..., &err);
 out:
    error_propagate(errp, err);
    return;

move the error_propagate() to where it's needed, like

    if (...) {
        foo(..., &err);
        error_propagate(errp, err);
        return;
    }
    ...
    bar(..., errp);
    return;

and transform the error_setg() as above.

In some places, the transformation results in obviously unnecessary
error_propagate().  The next few commits will eliminate them.

Bonus: the elimination of gotos will make later patches in this series
easier to review.

Markus Armbruster d2623129a7 qom: Drop parameter @errp of object_property_add() & friends
The only way object_property_add() can fail is when a property with
the same name already exists.  Since our property names are all
hardcoded, failure is a programming error, and the appropriate way to
handle it is passing &error_abort.

Same for its variants, except for object_property_add_child(), which
additionally fails when the child already has a parent.  Parentage is
also under program control, so this is a programming error, too.

We have a bit over 500 callers.  Almost half of them pass
&error_abort, slightly fewer ignore errors, one test case handles
errors, and the remaining few callers pass them to their own callers.

The previous few commits demonstrated once again that ignoring
programming errors is a bad idea.

Of the few ones that pass on errors, several violate the Error API.
The Error ** argument must be NULL, &error_abort, &error_fatal, or a
pointer to a variable containing NULL.  Passing an argument of the
latter kind twice without clearing it in between is wrong: if the
first call sets an error, it no longer points to NULL for the second
call.  ich9_pm_add_properties(), sparc32_ledma_realize(),
sparc32_dma_realize(), xilinx_axidma_realize(), xilinx_enet_realize()
are wrong that way.

When the one appropriate choice of argument is &error_abort, letting
users pick the argument is a bad idea.

Drop parameter @errp and assert the preconditions instead.

There's one exception to "duplicate property name is a programming
error": the way object_property_add() implements the magic (and
undocumented) "automatic arrayification".  Don't drop @errp there.
Instead, rename object_property_add() to object_property_try_add(),
and add the obvious wrapper object_property_add().

Peter XuandStefan Hajnoczi 6ca206204f iothread: document about why we need explicit aio_poll()
After consulting Paolo I know why we'd better keep the explicit
aio_poll() in iothread_run().  Document it directly into the code so
that future readers will know the answer from day one.

Peter XuandStefan Hajnoczi b60ec76a13 iothread: push gcontext earlier in the thread_fn
We were pushing the context until right before running the gmainloop.
Now since we have everything unconditionally, we can move this
earlier.

One benefit is that now it's done even before init_done_sem, so as
long as the iothread user calls iothread_create() and completes, we
know that the thread stack is ready.
