We don't currently document the syntax of .hx files anywhere

We don't even have somewhere in the developer docs where we
could do this.

Add a new files docs/devel/docs.rst which can be a place to

put in only a brief introductory paragraph and the documentation
of the .hx files. We could later add to this file by for
example describing how the QAPI-schema-to-docs process works,
or anything else that developers might need to know about
how to add documentation.

Make the .hx files refer to this doc file, and clean

dump: Add command interface for kdump-raw formats

The QMP dump API represents the dump format as an enumeration. Add three
new enumerators, one for each supported kdump compression, each named
"kdump-raw-*".

For the HMP command line, rather than adding a new flag corresponding to
each format, it seems more human-friendly to add a single flag "-R" to
switch the kdump formats to "raw" mode. The choice of "-R" also
correlates nicely to the "makedumpfile -R" option, which would serve to
reassemble a flattened vmcore.

net: add initial support for AF_XDP network backend

AF_XDP is a network socket family that allows communication directly
with the network device driver in the kernel, bypassing most or all
of the kernel networking stack. In the essence, the technology is
pretty similar to netmap. But, unlike netmap, AF_XDP is Linux-native
and works with any network interfaces without driver modifications.
Unlike vhost-based backends (kernel, user, vdpa), AF_XDP doesn't
require access to character devices or unix sockets. Only access to
the network interface itself is necessary.

This patch implements a network backend that communicates with the
kernel by creating an AF_XDP socket. A chunk of userspace memory
is shared between QEMU and the host kernel. 4 ring buffers (Tx, Rx,
Fill and Completion) are placed in that memory along with a pool of
memory buffers for the packet data. Data transmission is done by
allocating one of the buffers, copying packet data into it and
placing the pointer into Tx ring. After transmission, device will
return the buffer via Completion ring. On Rx, device will take
a buffer form a pre-populated Fill ring, write the packet data into
it and place the buffer into Rx ring.

AF_XDP network backend takes on the communication with the host
kernel and the network interface and forwards packets to/from the
peer device in QEMU.

Usage example:

-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=guest1,mac=00:16:35:AF:AA:5C
-netdev af-xdp,ifname=ens6f1np1,id=guest1,mode=native,queues=1

XDP program bridges the socket with a network interface. It can be
attached to the interface in 2 different modes:

1. skb - this mode should work for any interface and doesn't require
driver support. With a caveat of lower performance.

2. native - this does require support from the driver and allows to
bypass skb allocation in the kernel and potentially use
zero-copy while getting packets in/out userspace.

By default, QEMU will try to use native mode and fall back to skb.
Mode can be forced via 'mode' option. To force 'copy' even in native
mode, use 'force-copy=on' option. This might be useful if there is
some issue with the driver.

Option 'queues=N' allows to specify how many device queues should
be open. Note that all the queues that are not open are still
functional and can receive traffic, but it will not be delivered to
QEMU. So, the number of device queues should generally match the
QEMU configuration, unless the device is shared with something
else and the traffic re-direction to appropriate queues is correctly
configured on a device level (e.g. with ethtool -N).
'start-queue=M' option can be used to specify from which queue id
QEMU should start configuring 'N' queues. It might also be necessary
to use this option with certain NICs, e.g. MLX5 NICs. See the docs
for examples.

In a general case QEMU will need CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_ADMIN
or CAP_BPF capabilities in order to load default XSK/XDP programs to
the network interface and configure BPF maps. It is possible, however,
to run with no capabilities. For that to work, an external process
with enough capabilities will need to pre-load default XSK program,
create AF_XDP sockets and pass their file descriptors to QEMU process
on startup via 'sock-fds' option. Network backend will need to be
configured with 'inhibit=on' to avoid loading of the program.
QEMU will need 32 MB of locked memory (RLIMIT_MEMLOCK) per queue
or CAP_IPC_LOCK.

There are few performance challenges with the current network backends.

First is that they do not support IO threads. This means that data
path is handled by the main thread in QEMU and may slow down other
work or may be slowed down by some other work. This also means that
taking advantage of multi-queue is generally not possible today.

Another thing is that data path is going through the device emulation
code, which is not really optimized for performance. The fastest
"frontend" device is virtio-net. But it's not optimized for heavy
traffic either, because it expects such use-cases to be handled via
some implementation of vhost (user, kernel, vdpa). In practice, we
have virtio notifications and rcu lock/unlock on a per-packet basis
and not very efficient accesses to the guest memory. Communication
channels between backend and frontend devices do not allow passing
more than one packet at a time as well.

Some of these challenges can be avoided in the future by adding better
batching into device emulation or by implementing vhost-af-xdp variant.

There are also a few kernel limitations. AF_XDP sockets do not
support any kinds of checksum or segmentation offloading. Buffers
are limited to a page size (4K), i.e. MTU is limited. Multi-buffer
support implementation for AF_XDP is in progress, but not ready yet.
Also, transmission in all non-zero-copy modes is synchronous, i.e.
done in a syscall. That doesn't allow high packet rates on virtual
interfaces.

However, keeping in mind all of these challenges, current implementation
of the AF_XDP backend shows a decent performance while running on top
of a physical NIC with zero-copy support.

Test setup:

2 VMs running on 2 physical hosts connected via ConnectX6-Dx card.
Network backend is configured to open the NIC directly in native mode.
The driver supports zero-copy. NIC is configured to use 1 queue.

Inside a VM - iperf3 for basic TCP performance testing and dpdk-testpmd
for PPS testing.

iperf3 result:
TCP stream : 19.1 Gbps

dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results:
Tx only : 3.4 Mpps
Rx only : 2.0 Mpps
L2 FWD Loopback : 1.5 Mpps

In skb mode the same setup shows much lower performance, similar to
the setup where pair of physical NICs is replaced with veth pair:

iperf3 result:
TCP stream : 9 Gbps

dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results:
Tx only : 1.2 Mpps
Rx only : 1.0 Mpps
L2 FWD Loopback : 0.7 Mpps

Results in skb mode or over the veth are close to results of a tap
backend with vhost=on and disabled segmentation offloading bridged
with a NIC.

qapi: net: add stream and dgram netdevs

Copied from socket netdev file and modified to use SocketAddress
to be able to introduce new features like unix socket.

"udp" and "mcast" are squashed into dgram netdev, multicast is detected
according to the IP address type.
"listen" and "connect" modes are managed by stream netdev. An optional
parameter "server" defines the mode (off by default)

The two new types need to be parsed the modern way with -netdev, because
with the traditional way, the "type" field of netdev structure collides with
the "type" field of SocketAddress and prevents the correct evaluation of the
command line option. Moreover the traditional way doesn't allow to use
the same type (SocketAddress) several times with the -netdev option
(needed to specify "local" and "remote" addresses).

The previous commit paved the way for parsing the modern way, but
omitted one detail: how to pick modern vs. traditional, in
netdev_is_modern().

We want to pick based on the value of parameter "type". But how to
extract it from the option argument?

Parsing the option argument, either the modern or the traditional way,
extracts it for us, but only if parsing succeeds.

If parsing fails, there is no good option. No matter which parser we
pick, it'll be the wrong one for some arguments, and the error
reporting will be confusing.

Fortunately, the traditional parser accepts *anything* when called in
a certain way. This maximizes our chance to extract the value of
"type", and in turn minimizes the risk of confusing error reporting.

To save the FDT blob we have the '-machine dumpdtb=<file>' property.
With this property set, the machine saves the FDT in <file> and exit.
The created file can then be converted to plain text dts format using
'dtc'.

There's nothing particularly sophisticated into saving the FDT that
can't be done with the machine at any state, as long as the machine has
a valid FDT to be saved.

The 'dumpdtb' command receives a 'filename' parameter and, if the FDT is
available via current_machine->fdt, save it in dtb format to 'filename'.
In short, this is a '-machine dumpdtb' that can be fired on demand via
QMP/HMP.

This command will always be executed in-band (i.e. holding BQL),
avoiding potential race conditions with machines that might change the
FDT during runtime (e.g. PowerPC 'pseries' machine).

qmp/hmp, device_tree.c: introduce dumpdtb

To save the FDT blob we have the '-machine dumpdtb=<file>' property.
With this property set, the machine saves the FDT in <file> and exit.
The created file can then be converted to plain text dts format using
'dtc'.

There's nothing particularly sophisticated into saving the FDT that
can't be done with the machine at any state, as long as the machine has
a valid FDT to be saved.

The 'dumpdtb' command receives a 'filename' parameter and, if the FDT is
available via current_machine->fdt, save it in dtb format to 'filename'.
In short, this is a '-machine dumpdtb' that can be fired on demand via
QMP/HMP.

This command will always be executed in-band (i.e. holding BQL),
avoiding potential race conditions with machines that might change the
FDT during runtime (e.g. PowerPC 'pseries' machine).

softmmu/dirtylimit: Implement dirty page rate limit

dirty page rate given by user

softmmu/dirtylimit: Implement dirty page rate limit

Implement dirtyrate calculation periodically basing on
dirty-ring and throttle virtual CPU until it reachs the quota
dirty page rate given by user.

Introduce qmp commands "set-vcpu-dirty-limit",
"cancel-vcpu-dirty-limit", "query-vcpu-dirty-limit"
to enable, disable, query dirty page limit for virtual CPU.

Meanwhile, introduce corresponding hmp commands
"set_vcpu_dirty_limit", "cancel_vcpu_dirty_limit",
"info vcpu_dirty_limit" so the feature can be more usable.

"query-vcpu-dirty-limit" success depends on enabling dirty
page rate limit, so just add it to the list of skipped
command to ensure qmp-cmd-test run successfully.
