The fd: URI can currently trigger two different types of migration, a
TCP migration using sockets and a file migration using a plain
file. This is in conflict with the recently introduced (8.2) QMP
migrate API that takes structured data as JSON-like format. We cannot
keep the same backend for both types of migration because with the new
API the code is more tightly coupled to the type of transport. This
means a TCP migration must use the 'socket' transport and a file
migration must use the 'file' transport.
If we keep allowing fd: when using a file, this creates an issue when
the user converts the old-style (fd:) to the new style ("transport":
"socket") invocation because the file descriptor in question has
previously been allowed to be either a plain file or a socket.
To avoid creating too much confusion, we can simply deprecate the fd:
+ file usage, which is thought to be rarely used currently and instead
establish a 1:1 correspondence between fd: URI and socket transport,
and file: URI and file transport.

QEMU includes some models of old Arm machine types which are
a bit problematic for us because:
* they're written in a very old way that uses numerous APIs that we
would like to get away from (eg they don't use qdev, they use
qemu_system_reset_request(), they use vmstate_register(), etc)
* they've been that way for a decade plus and nobody particularly has
stepped up to try to modernise the code (beyond some occasional
work here and there)
* we often don't have test cases for them, which means that if we
do try to do the necessary refactoring work on them we have no
idea if they even still work at all afterwards
All these machine types are also of hardware that has largely passed
away into history and where I would not be surprised to find that
e.g. the Linux kernel support was never tested on real hardware
any more.
After some consultation with the Linux kernel developers, we
are going to deprecate:
All PXA2xx machines:
akita Sharp SL-C1000 (Akita) PDA (PXA270)
borzoi Sharp SL-C3100 (Borzoi) PDA (PXA270)
connex Gumstix Connex (PXA255)
mainstone Mainstone II (PXA27x)
spitz Sharp SL-C3000 (Spitz) PDA (PXA270)
terrier Sharp SL-C3200 (Terrier) PDA (PXA270)
tosa Sharp SL-6000 (Tosa) PDA (PXA255)
verdex Gumstix Verdex Pro XL6P COMs (PXA270)
z2 Zipit Z2 (PXA27x)
All OMAP2 machines:
n800 Nokia N800 tablet aka. RX-34 (OMAP2420)
n810 Nokia N810 tablet aka. RX-44 (OMAP2420)
One of the OMAP1 machines:
cheetah Palm Tungsten|E aka. Cheetah PDA (OMAP310)
Rationale:
* for QEMU dropping individual machines is much less beneficial
than if we can drop support for an entire SoC
* the OMAP2 QEMU code in particular is large, old and unmaintained,
and none of the OMAP2 kernel maintainers said they were using
QEMU in any of their testing/development
* although there is a setup that is booting test kernels on some
of the PXA2xx machines, nobody seemed to be using them as part
of their active kernel development and my impression from the
email thread is that PXA is the closest of all these SoC families
to being dropped from the kernel soon
* nobody said they were using cheetah, so it's entirely
untested and quite probably broken
* on the other hand the OMAP1 sx1 model does seem to be being
used as part of kernel development, and there was interest
in keeping collie around
In particular, the mainstone, tosa and z2 machine types have
already been dropped from Linux.
Mark all these machine types as deprecated.

Currently, it was allowed for users to specify the unsupported
topology parameter as "1". For example, x86 PC machine doesn't
support drawer/book/cluster topology levels, but user could specify
"-smp drawers=1,books=1,clusters=1".
This is meaningless and confusing, so that the support for this kind of
configurations is marked deprecated since 9.0. And report warning
message for such case like:
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid):
Unsupported clusters parameter mustn't be specified as 1
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid):
Unsupported books parameter mustn't be specified as 1
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid):
Unsupported drawers parameter mustn't be specified as 1
Users have to ensure that all the topology members described with -smp
are supported by the target machine.

our own testsuite, this is easily confused with guest page size.
The only thing that occurs when changing the host page size is
that stuff breaks, because one cannot actually change the host

As we've seen in the past, it's useful for deprecating old machine
types to finally be able to get of legacy code or do other clean-ups
(see e.g. commit ea985d235b that was used to drop the PCI code in
the 128k bios binaries to free some precious space in those binaries).
So let's continue deprecating the oldest pc machine types. QEMU 2.3
has been released 8 years ago, so that's plenty of time since such
machine types have been used by default, thus deprecating pc-i440fx-2.0
up to pc-i440fx-2.3 should be fine nowadays.

At this moment there are eleven CPU extension properties that starts
with capital 'Z': Zifencei, Zicsr, Zihintntl, Zihintpause, Zawrs, Zfa,
Zfh, Zfhmin, Zve32f, Zve64f and Zve64d. All other extensions are named
with lower-case letters.
We want all properties to be named with lower-case letters since it's
consistent with the riscv-isa string that we create in the FDT. Having
these 11 properties to be exceptions can be confusing.
Deprecate all of them. Create their lower-case counterpart to be used as
maintained CPU properties. When trying to use any deprecated property a
warning message will be displayed, recommending users to switch to the
lower-case variant:
./build/qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -cpu rv64,Zifencei=true --nographic
qemu-system-riscv64: warning: CPU property 'Zifencei' is deprecated. Please use 'zifencei' instead
This will give users some time to change their scripts before we remove
the capital 'Z' properties entirely.

The 'any' CPU type was introduced in commit dc5bd18fa5 ("RISC-V CPU
Core Definition"), being around since the beginning. It's not an easy
CPU to use: it's undocumented and its name doesn't tell users much about
what the CPU is supposed to bring. 'git log' doesn't help us either in
knowing what was the original design of this CPU type.
The closest we have is a comment from Alistair [1] where he recalls from
memory that the 'any' CPU is supposed to behave like the newly added
'max' CPU. He also suggested that the 'any' CPU should be removed.
The default CPUs are rv32 and rv64, so removing the 'any' CPU will have
impact only on users that might have a script that uses '-cpu any'.
And those users are better off using the default CPUs or the new 'max'
CPU.
We would love to just remove the code and be done with it, but one does
not simply remove a feature in QEMU. We'll put the CPU in quarantine
first, letting users know that we have the intent of removing it in the
future.

These have been deprecated for a long time, and the introduction of
-audio in 7.1.0 has cemented the new way of specifying an audio backend's
parameters. However, there is still a need for simple configuration
of the audio backend in the desktop case; therefore, if no audiodev is
passed to audio_init(), go through a bunch of simple Audiodev* structures
and pick the first that can be initialized successfully.
The only QEMU_AUDIO_* option that is left in, waiting for a better idea,
is QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none which is used by qtest.

Not sending zero pages breaks migration if a page is zero
at the source but not at the destination. This can e.g. happen
if different BIOS versions are used at source and destination.
It has also been reported that migration on pseries is completely

Python 3.6 was EOL 2021-12-31. Newer versions of upstream libraries have
begun dropping support for this version and it is becoming more
cumbersome to support. Avocado-framework and qemu.qmp each have their
own reasons for wanting to drop Python 3.6, but won't until QEMU does.
Versions of Python available in our supported build platforms as of today,
with optional versions available in parentheses:
openSUSE Leap 15.4: 3.6.15 (3.9.10, 3.10.2)
CentOS Stream 8: 3.6.8 (3.8.13, 3.9.16)
CentOS Stream 9: 3.9.13
Fedora 36: 3.10
Fedora 37: 3.11
Debian 11: 3.9.2
Alpine 3.14, 3.15: 3.9.16
Alpine 3.16, 3.17: 3.10.10
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 3.8.10
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: 3.10.4
NetBSD 9.3: 3.9.13*
FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16
FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.16
OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.16
Note: Our VM tests install 3.9 explicitly for FreeBSD and 3.10 for
NetBSD; the default for "python" or "python3" in FreeBSD is
3.9.16. NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but
offers several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. "python39"
appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request in
tests/vm/netbsd. pip, ensurepip and other Python essentials are
currently only available for Python 3.10 for NetBSD.
CentOS and OpenSUSE support parallel installation of multiple Python
interpreters, and binaries in /usr/bin will always use Python 3.6. However,
the newly introduced support for virtual environments ensures that all build
steps that execute QEMU Python code use a single interpreter.
Since it is safe to under our supported platform policy, bump our
minimum supported version of Python to 3.7.

The 'singlestep' member of StatusInfo has never done what the QMP
documentation claims it does. What it actually reports is whether
TCG is working in "one guest instruction per translation block" mode.
We no longer need this field for the HMP 'info status' command, as
we've moved that information to 'info jit'. It seems unlikely that
anybody is monitoring the state of this obscure TCG setting via QMP,
especially since QMP provides no means for changing the setting. So
simply deprecate the field, without providing any replacement.
Until we do eventually delete the member, correct the misstatements
in the QAPI documentation about it.
If we do find that there are users for this, then the most likely way
we would provide replacement access to the information would be to
put the accelerator QOM object at a well-known path such as
/machine/accel, which could then be used with the existing qom-set
and qom-get commands.

The 'singlestep' HMP command is confusing, because it doesn't
actually have anything to do with single-stepping the CPU. What it
does do is force TCG emulation to put one guest instruction in each
TB, which can be useful in some situations.
Create a new HMP command 'one-insn-per-tb', so we can document that
'singlestep' is just a deprecated synonym for it, and eventually
perhaps drop it.
We aren't obliged to do deprecate-and-drop for HMP commands,

For long-term distributions that release a new version only very
seldom, we limit the support to five years after the initial release.
Otherwise, we might need to support distros like openSUSE 15 for
up to 7 or even more years in total due to our "two more years
after the next major release" rule, which is just way too much to
handle in a project like QEMU that only has limited human resources.

Historically, the critical dependency for both building and running
QEMU has been the distro packages. Because QEMU is written in C and C's
package management has been tied to distros (at least if you do not want
to bundle libraries with the binary, otherwise I suppose you could use
something like conda or wrapdb), C dependencies of QEMU would target the
version that is shipped in relatively old but still commonly used distros.
For non-C libraries, however, the situation is different, as these
languages have their own package management tool (cpan, pip, gem, npm,
and so on). For some of these languages, the amount of dependencies
for even a simple program can easily balloon to the point that many
distros have given up on packaging non-C code. For this reason, it has
become increasingly normal for developers to download dependencies into
a self-contained local environment, instead of relying on distro packages.
Fortunately, this affects QEMU only at build time, as qemu.git does
not package non-C artifacts such as the qemu.qmp package; but still,
as we make more use of Python, we experience a clash between a support
policy that is written for the C world, and dependencies (both direct
and indirect) that increasingly do not care for the distro versions
and are quick at moving past Python runtime versions that are declared
end-of-life.
For example, Python 3.6 has been EOL'd since December 2021 and Meson 0.62
(released the following March) already dropped support for it. Yet,
Python 3.6 is the default version of the Python runtime for RHEL/CentOS
8 and SLE 15, respectively the penultimate and the most recent version
of two distros that QEMU would like to support. (It is also the version
used by Ubuntu 18.04, but QEMU stopped supporting it in April 2022).
There are good reasons to move forward with the deprecation of Python
3.6 in QEMU as well: completing the configure->meson switch (which
requires Meson 0.63), and making the QAPI generator fully typed (which
requires newer versions of not just mypy but also Python, due to PEP563).
Fortunately, these long-term support distros do include newer versions of
the Python runtime. However, these more recent runtimes only come with
a very small subset of the Python packages that the distro includes.
Because most dependencies are optional tests (avocado, mypy, flake8)
and Meson is bundled with QEMU, the most noticeably missing package is
Sphinx (and the readthedocs theme). There are four possibilities:
* we change the support policy and stop supporting CentOS 8 and SLE 15;
not a good idea since CentOS 8 is not an unreasonable distro for us to
want to continue to support
* we keep supporting Python 3.6 until CentOS 8 and SLE 15 stop being
supported. This is a possibility---but we may want to revise the support
policy anyway because SLE 16 has not even been released, so this would
mean delaying those desirable reasons for perhaps three years;
* we support Python 3.6 just for building documentation, i.e. we are
careful not to use Python 3.7+ features in our Sphinx extensions but are
free to use them elsewhere. Besides being more complicated to understand
for developers, this can be quite limiting; parts of the QAPI generator
run at sphinx-build time, which would exclude one of the areas which
would benefit from a newer version of the runtime;
* we only support Python 3.7+, which means CentOS 8 CI and users
have to either install Sphinx from pip or disable documentation.
This proposed update to the support policy chooses the last of these
possibilities. It does by modifying three aspects of the support
policy:
* it introduces different support periods for *native* vs. *non-native*
dependencies. Non-native dependencies are currently Python ones only,
and for simplicity the policy only mentions Python; however, the concept
generalizes to other languages with a well-known upstream package
manager, that users of older distributions can fetch dependencies from;
* it opens up the possibility of taking non-native dependencies from their
own package index instead of using the version in the distribution. The
wording right now is specific to dependencies that are only required at
build time. In the future we may have to refine it if, for example, parts
of QEMU will be written in Rust; in that case, crates would be handled
in a similar way to submodules and vendored in the release tarballs.
* it mentions specifically that optional build dependencies are excluded
from the platform policy. Tools such as mypy don't affect the ability
to build QEMU and move fast enough that distros cannot standardize on
a single version of them (for example RHEL9 does not package them at
all, nor does it run them at rpmbuild time). In other cases, such as
cross compilers, we have alternatives.
Right now, non-native dependencies have to be download manually by
running "pip" before "configure". In the future, it will be desirable
for configure to set up a virtual environment and download them in the
same way that it populates git submodules (but, in this case, without
vendoring them in the release tarballs).
Just like with submodules, this would make things easier for people
that can afford accessing the network in their build environment; the
option to populate the build environment manually would remain for
people whose build machines lack network access. The change to the
support policy neither requires nor forbids this future change.

It's becoming harder to maintain a cross-compiler to test this host
architecture as the old stable Debian 10 ("Buster") moved into LTS
which supports fewer architectures. For now:
- mark it's deprecation in the docs
- downgrade the containers to build TCG tests only
- drop the cross builds from our CI
Users with an appropriate toolchain and user-space can still take
their chances building it.

Let's use a more appropriate wording for this command line and config
file option. The old ones are still accepted for compatibility reasons,
but marked as deprecated now so that it could be removed in a future
version of QEMU.
This change is based on earlier patches from Philippe Mathieu-Daudé,
with the idea for the new option name suggested by BALATON Zoltan.
And while we're at it, replace the "?" in the help text with "help"
since that does not have the problem of conflicting with the wildcard
character of the shells.
