Patch generated using:

error: Eliminate error_propagate() with Coccinelle, part 1

When all we do with an Error we receive into a local variable is
propagating to somewhere else, we can just as well receive it there
right away. Convert

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

to

if (!foo(..., errp)) {
...
...
return ...
}

where nothing else needs @err. Coccinelle script:

@rule1 forall@
identifier fun, err, errp, lbl;
expression list args, args2;
binary operator op;
constant c1, c2;
symbol false;

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.

error: Avoid unnecessary error_propagate() after error_setg()

Replace

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

by

error_setg(errp, ...);

Related pattern:

if (...) {

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.

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().

qom: Drop object_property_set_description() parameter @errp

object_property_set_description() and
object_class_property_set_description() fail only when property @name
is not found.

There are 85 calls of object_property_set_description() and
object_class_property_set_description(). None of them can fail:

* 84 immediately follow the creation of the property.

* The one in spapr_rng_instance_init() refers to a property created in
spapr_rng_class_init(), from spapr_rng_properties[].

Every one of them still gets to decide what to pass for @errp.

51 calls pass &error_abort, 32 calls pass NULL, one receives the error
and propagates it to &error_abort, and one propagates it to
&error_fatal. I'm actually surprised none of them violates the Error
API.

What are we gaining by letting callers handle the "property not found"
error? Use when the property is not known to exist is simpler: you
don't have to guard the call with a check. We haven't found such a
use in 5+ years. Until we do, let's make life a bit simpler and drop
the @errp parameter.

This series removes ad hoc RAM allocation API (memory_region_allocate_system_memory)
and consolidates it around hostmem backend. It allows to

* resolve conflicts between global -mem-prealloc and hostmem's "policy" option,
fixing premature allocation before binding policy is applied

* simplify complicated memory allocation routines which had to deal with 2 ways
to allocate RAM.

* reuse hostmem backends of a choice for main RAM without adding extra CLI
options to duplicate hostmem features. A recent case was -mem-shared, to
enable vhost-user on targets that don't support hostmem backends [1] (ex: s390)

* move RAM allocation from individual boards into generic machine code and
provide them with prepared MemoryRegion.

* clean up deprecated NUMA features which were tied to the old API (see patches)
- "numa: remove deprecated -mem-path fallback to anonymous RAM"
- (POSTPONED, waiting on libvirt side) "forbid '-numa node,mem' for 5.0 and newer machine types"
- (POSTPONED) "numa: remove deprecated implicit RAM distribution between nodes"

Introduce a new machine.memory-backend property and wrapper code that aliases
global -mem-path and -mem-alloc into automatically created hostmem backend
properties (provided memory-backend was not set explicitly given by user).
A bulk of trivial patches then follow to incrementally convert individual
boards to using machine.memory-backend provided MemoryRegion.

Board conversion typically involves:

* providing MachineClass::default_ram_size and MachineClass::default_ram_id
so generic code could create default backend if user didn't explicitly provide
memory-backend or -m options

* dropping memory_region_allocate_system_memory() call

* using convenience MachineState::ram MemoryRegion, which points to MemoryRegion
allocated by ram-memdev

On top of that for some boards:

* missing ram_size checks are added (typically it were boards with fixed ram size)

* ram_size fixups are replaced by checks and hard errors, forcing user to
provide correct "-m" values instead of ignoring it and continuing running.

After all boards are converted, the old API is removed and memory allocation
routines are cleaned up.

hostmem: fix strict bind policy

When option -mem-prealloc is used with one or more memory-backend
objects, created backends may not obey configured bind policy or
creation may fail after kernel attempts to move pages according
to bind policy.
Reason is in file_ram_alloc(), which will pre-allocate
any descriptor based RAM if global mem_prealloc != 0 and that
happens way before bind policy is applied to memory range.

One way to fix it would be to extend memory_region_foo() API
and add more invariants that could broken later due implicit
dependencies that's hard to track.

Another approach is to drop adhoc main RAM allocation and
consolidate it around memory-backend. That allows to have
single place that allocates guest RAM (main and memdev)
in the same way and then global mem_prealloc could be
replaced by backend's property[s] that will affect created
memory-backend objects but only in correct order this time.

With main RAM now converted to hostmem backends, there is no
point in keeping global mem_prealloc around, so alias
-mem-prealloc to "memory-backend.prealloc=on"
machine compat[*] property and make mem_prealloc a local
variable to only stir registration of compat property.

*) currently user accessible -global works only with DEVICE
based objects and extra work is needed to make it work
with hostmem backends. But that is convenience option
and out of scope of this already huge refactoring.
Hence machine compat properties were used.

If seals are not supported, memfd_create() will fail.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/elmarco/tags/machine-props-pull-request' into staging

Generalize machine compatibility properties

During "[PATCH v2 05/10] qom/globals: generalize
object_property_set_globals()" review, Eduardo suggested to rework the
GlobalProperty handling, so that -global is limited to QDev only and
we avoid mixing the machine compats and the user-provided -global
properties (instead of generalizing -global to various object kinds,
like I proposed in v2).

"qdev: do not mix compat props with global props" patch decouples a
bit user-provided -global from machine compat properties. This allows
to get rid of "user_provided" and "errp" fields in following patches.

A new compat property "x-use-canonical-path-for-ramblock-id" is added
to hostmem for legacy canonical path names, set to true for -file and
-memfd with qemu < 4.0.

(this series was initially titled "[PATCH v2 00/10] hostmem: use
object "id" for memory region name with >= 3.1", but its focus is more
in refactoring the global and compatilibity properties handling now)

For consistency, change to use object id for -file and -memfd as well
with >= 4.0.

Having a consistent naming allows to migrate to different hostmem
backends.
