[ERRP_AUTO_PROPAGATE() renamed to ERRP_GUARD(), and
auto-propagated-errp.cocci to errp-guard.cocci]
Introduce a new ERRP_GUARD() macro, to be used at start of functions
with an errp OUT parameter.
It has three goals:
1. Fix issue with error_fatal and error_prepend/error_append_hint: the
user can't see this additional information, because exit() happens in
error_setg earlier than information is added. [Reported by Greg Kurz]
2. Fix issue with error_abort and error_propagate: when we wrap
error_abort by local_err+error_propagate, the resulting coredump will
refer to error_propagate and not to the place where error happened.
(the macro itself doesn't fix the issue, but it allows us to [3.] drop
the local_err+error_propagate pattern, which will definitely fix the
issue) [Reported by Kevin Wolf]
3. Drop local_err+error_propagate pattern, which is used to workaround
void functions with errp parameter, when caller wants to know resulting
status. (Note: actually these functions could be merely updated to
return int error code).
To achieve these goals, later patches will add invocations
of this macro at the start of functions with either use
error_prepend/error_append_hint (solving 1) or which use
local_err+error_propagate to check errors, switching those
functions to use *errp instead (solving 2 and 3).

[Rename ERRP_AUTO_PROPAGATE() to ERRP_GUARD(), tweak commit message
again]
This merely codifies existing practice, with one exception: the rule
advising against returning void, where existing practice is mixed.
When the Error API was created, we adopted the (unwritten) rule to
return void when the function returns no useful value on success,
unlike GError, which recommends to return true on success and false on
error then.
When a function returns a distinct error value, say false, a checked
call that passes the error up looks like
if (!frobnicate(..., errp)) {
handle the error...
}
When it returns void, we need
Error *err = NULL;
frobnicate(..., &err);
if (err) {
handle the error...
error_propagate(errp, err);
}
Not only is this more verbose, it also creates an Error object even
when @errp is null, &error_abort or &error_fatal.
People got tired of the additional boilerplate, and started to ignore
the unwritten rule. The result is confusion among developers about
the preferred usage.
Make the rule advising against returning void official by putting it
in writing. This will hopefully reduce confusion.
Update the examples accordingly.
The remainder of this series will update a substantial amount of code
to honor the rule.

Mostly, Error ** is for returning error from the function, so the
callee sets it. However these three functions get already filled errp
parameter. They don't change the pointer itself, only change the
internal state of referenced Error object. So we can make it
Error *const * errp, to stress the behavior. It will also help

C11 allows errno to be clobbered by pretty much any library function

However, for error reporting functions this is rather awkward and can
make the code on the caller side more complicated than
necessary. error_setg_errno() already takes care of preserving errno
and some functions rely on that, so just promise that we continue to

Currently if an application initiates an outgoing migration,
it may or may not, get an error reported back on failure. If
the error occurs synchronously to the 'migrate' command
execution, the client app will see the error message. This
is the case for DNS lookup failures. If the error occurs
asynchronously to the monitor command though, the error
will be thrown away and the client left guessing about
what went wrong. This is the case for failure to connect
to the TCP server (eg due to wrong port, or firewall
rules, or other similar errors).
In the future we'll be adding more scope for errors to
happen asynchronously with the TLS protocol handshake.
TLS errors are hard to diagnose even when they are well
reported, so discarding errors entirely will make it
impossible to debug TLS connection problems.
Management apps which do migration are already using
'query-migrate' / 'info migrate' to check up on progress
of background migration operations and to see their end
status. This is a fine place to also include the error
message when things go wrong.
This patch thus adds an 'error-desc' field to the
MigrationInfo struct, which will be populated when
the 'status' is set to 'failed':
(qemu) migrate -d tcp:localhost:9001
(qemu) info migrate
capabilities: xbzrle: off rdma-pin-all: off auto-converge: off zero-blocks: off compress: off events: off x-postcopy-ram: off
Migration status: failed (Error connecting to socket: Connection refused)
total time: 0 milliseconds
In the HMP, when doing non-detached migration, it is
also possible to display this error message directly
to the app.
(qemu) migrate tcp:localhost:9001
Error connecting to socket: Connection refused
Or with QMP
{
"execute": "query-migrate",
"arguments": {}
}
{
"return": {
"status": "failed",
"error-desc": "address resolution failed for myhost:9000: No address associated with hostname"

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

Instead of simply propagating an error verbatim, we sometimes want to

frobnicate(arg, &err);
error_setg(errp, "Can't frobnicate %s: %s",
arg, error_get_pretty(err));
error_free(err);
This is suboptimal, because it loses err's hint (if any). Moreover,
when errp is &error_abort or is subsequently propagated to
&error_abort, the abort message points to the place where we last
added to the error, not to the place where it originated.
To avoid these issues, provide means to add to an error's message in
place:
frobnicate(arg, errp);
error_prepend(errp, "Can't frobnicate %s: ", arg);
Likewise, reporting an error like
frobnicate(arg, &err);
error_report("Can't frobnicate %s: %s", arg, error_get_pretty(err));

When munging enum values, the fact that we were passing the entire
prefix + value through camel_to_upper() meant that enum values
spelled with CamelCase could be turned into CAMEL_CASE. However,
this provides a potential collision (both OneTwo and One-Two would
munge into ONE_TWO) for enum types, when the same two names are
valid side-by-side as QAPI member names. By changing the generation
of enum constants to always be prefix + '_' + c_name(value,
False).upper(), and ensuring that there are no case collisions (in
the next patches), we no longer have to worry about names that
would be distinct as QAPI members but collide as variant tag names,
without having to think about what munging the heuristics in
camel_to_upper() will actually perform on an enum value.
Making the change will affect enums that did not follow coding
conventions, using 'CamelCase' rather than desired 'lower-case'.
Thankfully, there are only two culprits: InputButton and ErrorClass.
We already tweaked ErrorClass to make it an alias of QapiErrorClass,
where only the alias needs changing rather than the whole tree. So
the bulk of this change is modifying INPUT_BUTTON_WHEEL_UP to the
new INPUT_BUTTON_WHEELUP (and likewise for WHEELDOWN). That part
of this commit may later need reverting if we rename the enum
constants from 'WheelUp' to 'wheel-up' as part of moving
x-input-send-event to a stable interface; but at least we have
documentation bread crumbs in place to remind us (commit 513e7cd),
and it matches the fact that SDL constants are also spelled
SDL_BUTTON_WHEELUP.

The qapi enum ErrorClass is unusual that it uses 'CamelCase' names,
contrary to our documented convention of preferring 'lower-case'.
However, this enum is entrenched in the API; we cannot change
what strings QMP outputs. Meanwhile, we want to simplify how
c_enum_const() is used to generate enum constants, by moving away
from the heuristics of camel_to_upper() to a more straightforward
c_name(N).upper() - but doing so will rename all of the ErrorClass
constants and cause churn to all client files, where the new names
are aesthetically less pleasing (ERROR_CLASS_DEVICENOTFOUND looks
like we can't make up our minds on whether to break between words).
So as always in computer science, solve the problem by some more
indirection: rename the qapi type to QapiErrorClass, and add a
new enum ErrorClass in error.h whose members are aliases of the
qapi type, but with the spelling expected elsewhere in the tree.
Then, when c_enum_const() changes the munging, we only have to
adjust the one alias spot.

We have several tests that perform multiple sub-actions that are
expected to fail. Asserting that an error occurred, then clearing
it up to prepare for the next action, turned into enough
boilerplate that it was sometimes forgotten (for example, a number
of tests added to test-qmp-input-visitor.c in d88f5fd leaked err).
Worse, if an error is not reset to NULL, we risk invalidating
later use of that error (passing a non-NULL err into a function
is generally a bad idea). Encapsulate the boilerplate into a
single helper function error_free_or_abort(), and consistently
use it.
The new function is added into error.c for use everywhere,

This is particularly useful when we abort in error_propagate(),
because there the stack backtrace doesn't lead to where the error was
created. Looks like this:

Note: to get this example output, I monkey-patched drive_new() to pass
&error_abort to blockdev_init().
To keep the error handling boiler plate from growing even more, all
error_setFOO() become macros expanding into error_setFOO_internal()
with additional __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__ arguments. Not exactly
pretty, but it works.
The macro trickery breaks down when you take the address of an
error_setFOO(). Fortunately, we do that in just one place: qemu-ga's
Windows VSS provider and requester DLL wants to call
error_setg_win32() through a function pointer "to avoid linking glib
to the DLL". Use error_setg_win32_internal() there. The use of the
function pointer is already wrapped in a macro, so the churn isn't
bad.
Code size increases by some 35KiB for me (0.7%). Tolerable. Could be
less if we passed relative rather than absolute source file names to
the compiler, or forwent reporting __func__.

However, there's no real need for trickery here. Clean it up as
follows:
* Declare struct Error, and fix the first parameter.
* Switch to error_setg_win32(). This gets rid of the troublesome

This also removes the need for _nofail variants of APIs with
asserting call sites now reduced to 1LOC.
- SIGABRT happens from within the offending API. When a fatal error
occurs in an API call (when the caller is asserting sucess) failure
often means the API itself is broken. With the abort happening in the
API call now, the stack frames into the call are available at debug
time. In the assert_no_error scheme the abort happens after the fact.
The exact semantic is that when an error is raised, if the argument
Error ** matches &error_abort, then the abort occurs immediately. The
error messaged is reported.
For error_propagate, if the destination error is &error_abort, then
the abort happens at propagation time.

This commit changes all QERR_ macros to contain a human message (ie.
the desc string found in qerr_table[]) instead of a json dictionary
in string format.
Before this commit, error_set() and qerror_report() would receive
a json dictionary in string format and build a qobject from it. Now,
both function receive a human message instead and the qobject is
not built anymore.

The new argument is added to functions qerror_report() and error_set().
It's stored in Error and QError. qerror_report_err() is also updated to
take care of it.
The QERR_ macros are changed to contain a place holder value for the
new argument, so that the value is used on all current calls to
qerror_report() and error_set() (and also to initialize qerror_table[]).
Next commit will update the QERR_ macros with a proper ErrorClass
value.

Don't overwrite / leak previously set errors.
Make traversal cope with missing mandatory sub-structs.
Don't try to end a container that could not be started.
v1->v2:
- unchanged
v2->v3:
- instead of examining, assert that we never overwrite errors with
error_set()
- allow visitors to set a NULL struct pointer successfully, so traversal
of incomplete objects can continue
- check for a NULL "obj" before accessing "(*obj)->has_XXX" (this is not a
typo, "obj != NULL" implies "*obj != NULL" here)
- fix start_struct / end_struct balance for unions as well

Commit e4ea5e2d0e added the use of
the macro GCC_FMT_ATTR to error.h, however compiler.h is not
included by error.h
This will cause a build error when files including error.h
don't include qemu-common.h (or compiler.h). Not an issue today
because the only file including it is json-parser.h and it does
include qemu-common.h, but let's get it fixed.
