The various schemas included in QEMU use a JSON-based format which
is, however, strictly speaking not valid JSON.
As a consequence, when vim tries to apply syntax highlight rules
for JSON (as guessed from the file name), the result is an unreadable
mess which mostly consist of red markers pointing out supposed errors
in, well, pretty much everything.
Using Python syntax highlighting produces much better results, and
in fact these files already start with specially-formatted comments
that instruct Emacs to process them as if they were Python files.
This commit adds the equivalent special comments for vim.

In v4.1.0, we added feature flags just to struct types (commit
6a8c0b5102^..f3ed93d545), to satisfy an immediate need (commit
c9d4070991 "file-posix: Add dynamic-auto-read-only QAPI feature"). In
v4.2.0, we added them to commands (commit 23394b4c39 "qapi: Add
feature flags to commands") to satisfy another immediate need (commit
d76744e65e "qapi: Allow introspecting fix for savevm's cooperation
with blockdev").
Add them to the remaining definitions: enumeration types, union types,
alternate types, and events.

The current doc generation doesn't care much about indentation levels,
but we would like to switch to an rST format, and rST does care about
indentation.
Make the doc comments more strongly consistent about indentation
for multiline constructs like:
@arg: description line 1
description line 2
Returns: line one
line 2
so that there is always exactly one space after the colon, and
subsequent lines align with the first.
This commit is a purely whitespace change, and it does not alter the
generated .texi files (because the texi generation code strips away
all the extra whitespace). This does mean that we end up with some
over-length lines.
Note that when the documentation for an argument fits on a single
line like this:
@arg: one line only
then stray extra spaces after the ':' don't affect the rST output, so
I have not attempted to methodically fix them, though the preference
is a single space here too.

Similarly to features for struct types introduce the feature flags also
for commands. This will allow notifying management layers of fixes and
compatible changes in the behaviour of a command which may not be
detectable any other way.

Sometimes, the behaviour of QEMU changes without a change in the QMP
syntax (usually by allowing values or operations that previously
resulted in an error). QMP clients may still need to know whether
they can rely on the changed behavior.
Let's add feature flags to the QAPI schema language, so that we can make
such changes visible with schema introspection.
An example for a schema definition using feature flags looks like this:
{ 'struct': 'TestType',
'data': { 'number': 'int' },
'features': [ 'allow-negative-numbers' ] }
Introspection information then looks like this:
{ "name": "TestType", "meta-type": "object",
"members": [
{ "name": "number", "type": "int" } ],
"features": [ "allow-negative-numbers" ] }
This patch implements feature flags only for struct types. We'll
implement them more widely as needed.

Making 'allow-oob' optional in SchemaInfoCommand permits omitting it
in the common case. Shrinks query-qmp-schema's output from 122.1KiB
to 118.6KiB for me.
Note that out-of-band execution is still experimental (you have to
configure the monitor with x-oob=on to use it).

According to commit 047f7038f58, option --preconfig
[...] allows pausing QEMU in the new RUN_STATE_PRECONFIG state,
allowing the configuration of QEMU from QMP before the machine
jumps into board initialization code of machine_run_board_init()
The intent is to allow management to query machine state and
additionally configure it using previous query results within one
QEMU instance (i.e. eliminate the need to start QEMU twice, 1st to
query board specific parameters and 2nd for actual VM start using
query results for additional parameters).
The implementation is a bit of a hack: it splices in an additional
main loop before machine creation, in special runstate preconfig. New
command exit-preconfig exits that main loop. QEMU continues
initializing, creates the machine, and runs the good old main loop.
The replacement of the main loop is transparent to monitors.
Sadly, some commands expect initialization to be complete. Running
them in --preconfig's main loop violates their preconditions. Since
we don't really know which commands are safe, we use a whitelist.
This drags the concept of run state into the QMP core.
The whitelist is done as a command flag in the QAPI schema (commit
d6fe3d02e9a). Drags the concept of run state further into the QAPI
language.
The command flag is exposed in query-qmp-schema (also commit
d6fe3d02e9a). This makes it ABI.
I consider the whole thing an offensively ugly hack, but sometimes an
ugly hack is the best we can do to solve a problem people have.
The need described by the commit message quote above is genuine. The
proper solution would be a main loop that permits complete
configuration via QMP. This is out of reach, thus the hack.
However, even though the need is genuine, it isn't urgent: libvirt is
not going to use this anytime soon. Baking a hack into ABI before it
has any users is a bad idea.
This commit reverts the parts of commit d6fe3d02e9a that affect ABI
via query-qmp-schema. The commit did the following:
(1) Add command flag 'allow-preconfig' to the QAPI schema language
(2) Pass it to code generators
(3) Have the commands.py code generator pass it to the command
registry (so commit 047f7038f58 can use it as whitelist)
(4) Add 'allow-preconfig' to SchemaInfoCommand (neglecting to update
qapi-code-gen.txt section "Client JSON Protocol introspection")
(5) Set 'allow-preconfig': true for commands qmp_capabilities,
query-commands, query-command-line-options, query-status
Revert exactly (4), plus a bit of documentation added to
qemu-tech.info in commit 047f7038f58.
Shrinks query-qmp-schema's output from 126.5KiB to 121.8KiB for me.

New option will be used to allow commands, which are prepared/need
to run, during preconfig state. Other commands that should be able
to run in preconfig state, should be amended to not expect machine
in initialized state or deal with it.
For compatibility reasons, commands that don't use new flag
'allow-preconfig' explicitly are not permitted to run in
preconfig state but allowed in all other states like they used
to be.
Within this patch allow following commands in preconfig state:
qmp_capabilities
query-qmp-schema
query-commands
query-command-line-options
query-status
exit-preconfig
to allow qmp connection, basic introspection and moving to the next
state.
PS:
set-numa-node and query-hotpluggable-cpus will be enabled later in
a separate patches.

Here "oob" stands for "Out-Of-Band". When "allow-oob" is set, it means
the command allows out-of-band execution.
The "oob" idea is proposed by Markus Armbruster in following thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-09/msg02057.html
This new "allow-oob" boolean will be exposed by "query-qmp-schema" as
well for command entries, so that QMP clients can know which commands
can be used in out-of-band calls. For example the command "migrate"
originally looks like:
{"name": "migrate", "ret-type": "17", "meta-type": "command",
"arg-type": "86"}
And it'll be changed into:
{"name": "migrate", "ret-type": "17", "allow-oob": false,
"meta-type": "command", "arg-type": "86"}
This patch only provides the QMP interface level changes. It does not
contain the real out-of-band execution implementation yet.

We traditionally mark optional members #optional in the doc comment.
Before commit 3313b61, this was entirely manual.
Commit 3313b61 added some automation because its qapi2texi.py relied
on #optional to determine whether a member is optional. This is no
longer the case since the previous commit: the only thing qapi2texi.py
still does with #optional is stripping it out. We still reject bogus
qapi-schema.json and six places for qga/qapi-schema.json.
Thus, you can't actually rely on #optional to see whether something is
optional. Yet we still make people add it manually. That's just
busy-work.
Drop the code to check, fix up and strip out #optional, along with all
instances of #optional. To keep it out, add code to reject it, to be
dropped again once the dust settles.
No change to generated documentation.

Now that the generator supports it, we might as well use an
anonymous base rather than breaking out a single-use Base
structure, for all three of our current QMP flat unions.
Oddly enough, this change does not affect the resulting
introspection output (because we already inline the members of
a base type into an object, and had no independent use of the
base type reachable from a command).
The case_whitelist now has to list the name of an implicit
type; which is not too bad (consider it a feature if it makes
it harder for developers to make the whitelist grow :)

We are not ready (and might never be ready) to declare
introspection stable between releases. Clients written to
control multiple versions of qemu, and desiring to know
whether a particular member is supported for a given
command, must be prepared to locate that member in spite
of qapi changes that may affect the member's location or
type within the overall object, even though such changes
did not break QMP wire back-compatibility.

qapi-code-gen.txt already claims that types, commands, and
events share a common namespace; set this in stone by further
documenting that our introspection output will never have
collisions with the same name tied to more than one meta-type.
Our largest QMP enum currently has 125 values, our largest
object type has 27 members, and the mean for each is less than
10. These sizes are small enough that the per-element overhead
of O(log n) binary searching probably outweighs the speed
possible with direct O(n) linear searching (a better algorithm
with more overhead will only beat a leaner naive algorithm only
as you scale to larger input sizes).
Arguably, the overall SchemaInfo array could be sorted by name;
there, we currently have 531 entities, large enough for a binary
search to be faster than linear. However, remember that we have
mutually-recursive types, which means there is no topological
ordering that will allow clients to learn all information about
that type in a single linear pass; thus clients will want to do
random access over the data, and they will probably read the
introspection output into a hashtable for O(1) lookup rather
than O(log n) binary searching, at which point, pre-sorting our
introspection output doesn't help the client.
It doesn't help that sorting can be subjective if you introduce
locales into the mix (I'm not experienced enough with Python
to know for sure, but at least it looks like it defaults to
sorting in the C locale even when run under a different locale).
And while our current introspection output is deterministic
(because we visit entities in a sorted order), we may want
to change that order in the future (such as using OrderedDict
to stick to .json declaration order).
For these reasons, we simply document that clients should not
rely on any particular order of items in introspection output.
And since it is now a documented part of the contract, we have
the freedom to later rearrange output if needed, without
worrying about breaking well-written clients.

qapi/introspect.json defines the introspection schema. It's designed
for QMP introspection, but should do for similar uses, such as QGA.
The introspection schema does not reflect all the rules and
restrictions that apply to QAPI schemata. A valid QAPI schema has an
introspection value conforming to the introspection schema, but the
converse is not true.
Introspection lowers away a number of schema details, and makes
implicit things explicit:
* The built-in types are declared with their JSON type.
All integer types are mapped to 'int', because how many bits we use
internally is an implementation detail. It could be pressed into
external interface service as very approximate range information,
but that's a bad idea. If we need range information, we better do
it properly.
* Implicit type definitions are made explicit, and given
auto-generated names:
- Array types, named by appending "List" to the name of their
element type, like in generated C.
- The enumeration types implicitly defined by simple union types,
named by appending "Kind" to the name of their simple union type,
like in generated C.
- Types that don't occur in generated C. Their names start with ':'
so they don't clash with the user's names.
* All type references are by name.
* The struct and union types are generalized into an object type.
* Base types are flattened.
* Commands take a single argument and return a single result.
Dictionary argument or list result is an implicit type definition.
The empty object type is used when a command takes no arguments or
produces no results.
The argument is always of object type, but the introspection schema
doesn't reflect that.
The 'gen': false directive is omitted as implementation detail.
The 'success-response' directive is omitted as well for now, even
though it's not an implementation detail, because it's not used by
QMP.
* Events carry a single data value.
Implicit type definition and empty object type use, just like for
commands.
The value is of object type, but the introspection schema doesn't
reflect that.
* Types not used by commands or events are omitted.
Indirect use counts as use.
* Optional members have a default, which can only be null right now
Instead of a mandatory "optional" flag, we have an optional default.
No default means mandatory, default null means optional without
default value. Non-null is available for optional with default
(possible future extension).
* Clients should *not* look up types by name, because type names are
not ABI. Look up the command or event you're interested in, then
follow the references.
TODO Should we hide the type names to eliminate the temptation?
New generator scripts/qapi-introspect.py computes an introspection
value for its input, and generates a C variable holding it.
It can generate awfully long lines. Marked TODO.
A new test-qmp-input-visitor test case feeds its result for both
tests/qapi-schema/qapi-schema-test.json and qapi-schema.json to a
QmpInputVisitor to verify it actually conforms to the schema.
New QMP command query-qmp-schema takes its return value from that
variable. Its reply is some 85KiBytes for me right now.
If this turns out to be too much, we have a couple of options:
* We can use shorter names in the JSON. Not the QMP style.
* Optionally return the sub-schema for commands and events given as
arguments.
Right now qmp_query_schema() sends the string literal computed by
qmp-introspect.py. To compute sub-schema at run time, we'd have to
duplicate parts of qapi-introspect.py in C. Unattractive.
* Let clients cache the output of query-qmp-schema.
It changes only on QEMU upgrades, i.e. rarely. Provide a command
query-qmp-schema-hash. Clients can have a cache indexed by hash,
and re-query the schema only when they don't have it cached. Even
simpler: put the hash in the QMP greeting.
