      qom: Drop parameter @errp of object_property_add() & friends · d2623129
      Markus Armbruster authored
      
      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().

      Include hw/qdev-properties.h less · a27bd6c7
      Markus Armbruster authored
      
      In my "build everything" tree, changing hw/qdev-properties.h triggers
      a recompile of some 2700 out of 6600 objects (not counting tests and
      objects that don't depend on qemu/osdep.h).
      
      Many places including hw/qdev-properties.h (directly or via hw/qdev.h)
      actually need only hw/qdev-core.h.  Include hw/qdev-core.h there
      instead.
      
      hw/qdev.h is actually pointless: all it does is include hw/qdev-core.h
      and hw/qdev-properties.h, which in turn includes hw/qdev-core.h.
      Replace the remaining uses of hw/qdev.h by hw/qdev-properties.h.
      
      While there, delete a few superfluous inclusions of hw/qdev-core.h.
      
      Touching hw/qdev-properties.h now recompiles some 1200 objects.

      Add vhost-user-backend · f24bb728
      Marc-André Lureau authored
      
      Create a vhost-user-backend object that holds a connection to a
      vhost-user backend (or "slave" process) and can be referenced from
      virtio devices that support it. See later patches for input & gpu
      usage.
      
      Note: a previous iteration of this object made it user-creatable, and
      allowed managed sub-process spawning, but that has been dropped for
      now.
