Interestingly, Plain rST headings work fine before this patch, except
for over- and underlining with '=', which the doc parser rejected as
invalid QAPI doc section heading in free-form comments.

This removes the TARGET_S390X and CONFIG_KVM conditions from the
CPU commands that are conceptually specific to s390x. Top level
stubs are provided to cope with non-s390x targets, or builds
without KVM.
The removal of CONFIG_KVM is justified by the fact there is no
conceptual difference between running 'qemu-system-s390x -accel tcg'
on a build with and without KVM built-in, so apps only using TCG
can't rely on the CONFIG_KVM in the schema.

This removes the TARGET_ARM condition from the query-gic-capability
command. This requires providing a QMP command stub for non-ARM targets.
This in turn requires moving the command out of misc-target.json, since
that will trigger symbol poisoning errors when built from target
independent code.
Following the earlier precedent, this creates a misc-arm.json file to
hold this ARM specific command.

This removes the TARGET_I386 condition from the rtc-reset-reinjection
command. This requires providing a QMP command stub for non-i386 target.
This in turn requires moving the command out of misc-target.json, since
that will trigger symbol poisoning errors when built from target
independent code.
Rather than putting the command into misc.json, it is proposed to create
misc-$TARGET.json files to hold commands whose impl is conceptually
only applicable to a single target. This gives an obvious docs hint to
consumers that the command is only useful in relation a specific target,
while misc.json is for commands applicable to 2 or more targets.
The current impl of qmp_rtc_reset_reinject() is a no-op if the i386
RTC is disabled in Kconfig, or if the running machine type lack any
RTC device.
The stub impl for non-i386 targets retains this no-op behaviour.
However, it is now reporting an Error mentioning this command is not
available for current target.

Add a new QAPI event for VFIO migration. This event will be emitted when
a VFIO device changes its migration state, for example, during migration
or when stopping/starting the guest.
This event can be used by management applications to get updates on the
current state of the VFIO device for their own purposes.
Note that this new event is introduced since VFIO devices have a unique
set of migration states which cannot be described as accurately by other
existing events such as run state or migration status.

Now, the binary objects may be retrieved by id.
It would require for future qmp commands that may require specific
eBPF blob.
Added command "request-ebpf". This command returns
eBPF program encoded base64. The program taken from the
skeleton and essentially is an ELF object that can be
loaded in the future with libbpf.
The reason to use the command to provide the eBPF object
instead of a separate artifact was to avoid issues related
to finding the eBPF itself. eBPF object is an ELF binary
that contains the eBPF program and eBPF map description(BTF).
Overall, eBPF object should contain the program and enough
metadata to create/load eBPF with libbpf. As the eBPF
maps/program should correspond to QEMU, the eBPF can't
be used from different QEMU build.
The first solution was a helper that comes with QEMU
and loads appropriate eBPF objects. And the issue is
to find a proper helper if the system has several
different QEMUs installed and/or built from the source,
which helpers may not be compatible.
Another issue is QEMU updating while there is a running
QEMU instance. With an updated helper, it may not be
possible to hotplug virtio-net device to the already
running QEMU. Overall, requesting the eBPF object from
QEMU itself solves possible failures with acceptable effort.

In the QEMU QMP Reference Manual, subsection "Block core (VM

"Background jobs" instead. That's because qapi/job.json is included
first from qapi/block-core.json, which makes qapi/job.json's

contents.
In the QEMU Storage Daemon QMP Reference Manual, section "Block
Devices" contains nothing but an empty subsection "Block core (VM
unrelated)". The latter's contents is at the end section "Socket data
types", along with subsection "Block device exports". Subsection
"Background jobs" is at the end of section "Cryptography". All this
is because storage-daemon/qapi/qapi-schema.json includes modules in a
confused order.
Fix both as follows.
Turn subsection "Background jobs" into a section.
Move it before section "Block devices" in the QEMU QMP Reference
Manual, by including qapi/jobs.json right before qapi/block.json.
Reorder include directives in storage-daemon/qapi/qapi-schema.json to

Manual's.
In the QEMU QMP Reference Manual, qapi/cryptodev.json's documentation

This new command lists all the instances of VirtIODevices with
their canonical QOM path and name.
[Jonah: @virtio_list duplicates information that already exists in
the QOM composition tree. However, extracting necessary information
from this tree seems to be a bit convoluted.
Instead, we still create our own list of realized virtio devices
but use @qmp_qom_get with the device's canonical QOM path to confirm
that the device exists and is realized. If the device exists but
is actually not realized, then we remove it from our list (for
synchronicity to the QOM composition tree).
Also, the QMP command @x-query-virtio is redundant as @qom-list
and @qom-get are sufficient to search '/machine/' for realized
virtio devices. However, @x-query-virtio is much more convenient
in listing realized virtio devices.]

Gathering statistics is important for development, for monitoring and
for performance measurement. There are tools such as kvm_stat that do
this and they rely on the _user_ knowing the interesting data points
rather than the tool (which can treat them as opaque).
The commands introduced in this commit introduce QMP support for
querying stats; the goal is to take the capabilities of these tools
and making them available throughout the whole virtualization stack,
so that one can observe, monitor and measure virtual machines without
having shell access + root on the host that runs them.
query-stats returns a list of all stats per target type (only VM
and vCPU to start); future commits add extra options for specifying
stat names, vCPU qom paths, and providers. All these are used by the
HMP command "info stats". Because of the development usecases around
statistics, a good HMP interface is important.
query-stats-schemas returns a list of stats included in each target
type, with an option for specifying the provider. The concepts in the
schema are based on the KVM binary stats' own introspection data, just
translated to QAPI.
There are two reasons to have a separate schema that is not tied to
the QAPI schema. The first is the contents of the schemas: the new
introspection data provides different information than the QAPI data,
namely unit of measurement, how the numbers are gathered and change
(peak/instant/cumulative/histogram), and histogram bucket sizes.
There's really no reason to have this kind of metadata in the QAPI
introspection schema (except possibly for the unit of measure, but
there's a very weak justification).
Another reason is the dynamicity of the schema. The QAPI introspection
data is very much static; and while QOM is somewhat more dynamic,
generally we consider that to be a bug rather than a feature these days.
On the other hand, the statistics that are exposed by QEMU might be
passed through from another source, such as KVM, and the disadvantages of
manually updating the QAPI schema for outweight the benefits from vetting
the statistics and filtering out anything that seems "too unstable".
Running old QEMU with new kernel is a supported usecase; if old QEMU
cannot expose statistics from a new kernel, or if a kernel developer
needs to change QEMU before gathering new info from the new kernel,
then that is a poor user interface.
The framework provides a method to register callbacks for these QMP
commands. Most of the work in fact is done by the callbacks, and a
large majority of this patch is new QAPI structs and commands.
Examples (with KVM stats):
- Query all VM stats:
{ "execute": "query-stats", "arguments" : { "target": "vm" } }
{ "return": [
{ "provider": "kvm",
"stats": [
{ "name": "max_mmu_page_hash_collisions", "value": 0 },

{ "name": "nx_lpage_splits", "value": 148 },
... ] },
{ "provider": "xyz",
"stats": [ ... ] }
] }
- Query all vCPU stats:
{ "execute": "query-stats", "arguments" : { "target": "vcpu" } }
{ "return": [
{ "provider": "kvm",
"qom_path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]"

New option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated
interfaces get used. This is intended for testing users of the
management interfaces. It is experimental.
-compat deprecated-input=<input-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated input is received. Input policy can be "accept" (accept
silently), or "reject" (reject the request with an error).
-compat deprecated-output=<out-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated output is sent. Output policy can be "accept" (pass on
unchanged), or "hide" (filter out the deprecated parts).
Default is "accept". Policies other than "accept" are implemented
later in this series.
For now, -compat covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff
tagged with feature 'deprecated'. We may want to extend it to cover
semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features.
Note that there is no good way for management application to detect
presence of -compat: it's not visible output of query-qmp-schema or
query-command-line-options. Tolerable, because it's meant for
testing. If running with -compat fails, skip the test.
