The explanation of @cores should be "number of cores per die" but
not "number of cores per thread". Let's fix it.

In the SMP configuration, we should either provide a topology
parameter with a reasonable value (greater than zero) or just
omit it and QEMU will compute the missing value.
The users shouldn't provide a configuration with any parameter
of it specified as zero (e.g. -smp 8,sockets=0) which could
possibly cause unexpected results in the -smp parsing. So we
deprecate this kind of configurations since 6.2 by adding the
explicit sanity check.

To pave the way for the functional improvement in later patches,
make some refactor/cleanup for the smp parsers, including using
local maxcpus instead of ms->smp.max_cpus in the calculation,
defaulting dies to 0 initially like other members, cleanup the
sanity check for dies.
We actually also fix a hidden defect by avoiding directly using
the provided *zero value* in the calculation, which could cause
a segment fault (e.g. using dies=0 in the calculation).

We are currently using maxcpus to calculate the omitted sockets
but using cpus to calculate the omitted cores/threads. This makes
cmdlines like:
-smp cpus=8,maxcpus=16
-smp cpus=8,cores=4,maxcpus=16
-smp cpus=8,threads=2,maxcpus=16
work fine but the ones like:
-smp cpus=8,sockets=2,maxcpus=16
-smp cpus=8,sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16
-smp cpus=8,sockets=2,threads=2,maxcpus=16
break the sanity check.
Since we require for a valid config that the product of "sockets * cores
* threads" should equal to the maxcpus, we should uniformly use maxcpus
to calculate their omitted values.
Also the if-branch of "cpus == 0 || sockets == 0" was split into two
branches of "cpus == 0" and "sockets == 0" so that we can clearly read
that we are parsing the configuration with a preference on cpus over
sockets over cores over threads.
Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines
but improves consistency and allows more incomplete configs to be valid.

Currently we directly calculate the omitted cpus based on the given
incomplete collection of parameters. This makes some cmdlines like:
-smp maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,dies=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16
not work. We should probably set the value of cpus to match maxcpus
if it's omitted, which will make above configs start to work.
So the calculation logic of cpus/maxcpus after this patch will be:
When both maxcpus and cpus are omitted, maxcpus will be calculated
from the given parameters and cpus will be set equal to maxcpus.
When only one of maxcpus and cpus is given then the omitted one
will be set to its counterpart's value. Both maxcpus and cpus may
be specified, but maxcpus must be equal to or greater than cpus.
Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines
but allows more incomplete configs to be valid.

We have two requirements for a valid SMP configuration:
the product of "sockets * cores * threads" must represent all the
possible cpus, i.e., max_cpus, and then must include the initially
present cpus, i.e., smp_cpus.
So we only need to ensure 1) "sockets * cores * threads == maxcpus"
at first and then ensure 2) "maxcpus >= cpus". With a reasonable
order of the sanity check, we can simplify the error reporting code.
When reporting an error message we also report the exact value of
each topology member to make users easily see what's going on.

Since commit 80d7835749 (qemu-options: rewrite help for -smp options),
the preference of sockets/cores in -smp parsing is considered liable
to change, and actually we are going to change it in a coming commit.
So it'll be more stable to use detailed -smp CLIs in testing if we
have strong dependency on the parsing results.
pc_dynamic_cpu_cfg currently assumes/needs that there will be 2 CPU
sockets with "-smp 2". To avoid breaking the test because of parsing
logic change, now explicitly use "-smp 2,sockets=2".

the preference of sockets/cores in -smp parsing is considered liable
to change, and actually we are going to change it in a coming commit.
So it'll be more stable to use detailed -smp CLIs in the testcases
that have strong dependency on the parsing results.
Currently, test_def_cpu_split use "-smp 8" and will get 8 CPU sockets
based on current parsing rule. But if we change to prefer cores over
sockets we will get one CPU socket with 8 cores, and this testcase
will not get expected numa set by default on x86_64 (Ok on aarch64).
So now explicitly use "-smp 8,sockets=8" to avoid affect from parsing
logic change.

In the real SMP hardware topology world, it's much more likely that
we have high cores-per-socket counts and few sockets totally. While
the current preference of sockets over cores in smp parsing results
in a virtual cpu topology with low cores-per-sockets counts and a
large number of sockets, which is just contrary to the real world.
Given that it is better to make the virtual cpu topology be more
reflective of the real world and also for the sake of compatibility,
we start to prefer cores over sockets over threads in smp parsing
since machine type 6.2 for different arches.
In this patch, a boolean "smp_prefer_sockets" is added, and we only
enable the old preference on older machines and enable the new one
since type 6.2 for all arches by using the machine compat mechanism.

In the sanity-check of smp_cpus and max_cpus against mc in function
machine_set_smp(), we are now using ms->smp.max_cpus for the check
but using current_machine->smp.max_cpus in the error message.
Tweak this by uniformly using the local ms.

Now that all the possible topology parameters are integrated in struct
CpuTopology, tweak the order of topology members to be "cpus/sockets/
dies/cores/threads/maxcpus" for readability and consistency. We also
tweak the comment by adding explanation of dies parameter.

Currently the only difference between smp_parse and pc_smp_parse
is the support of dies parameter and the related error reporting.
With some arch compat variables like "bool dies_supported", we can
make smp_parse generic enough for all arches and the PC specific
one can be removed.
Making smp_parse() generic enough can reduce code duplication and
ease the code maintenance, and also allows extending the topology
with more arch specific members (e.g., clusters) in the future.

Now we have a generic smp parser for all arches, and there will
not be any other arch specific ones, so let's remove the callback
from MachineClass and call the parser directly.

Now we have a common structure SMPCompatProps used to store information
about SMP compatibility stuff, so we can also move smp_prefer_sockets
there for cleaner code.
No functional change intended.

Put both sanity-check of the input SMP configuration and sanity-check
of the output SMP configuration uniformly in the generic parser. Then
machine_set_smp() will become cleaner, also all the invalid scenarios
can be tested only by calling the parser.

Quoting one of the Rules described in include/qapi/error.h:
"
Whenever practical, also return a value that indicates success /
failure. This can make the error checking more concise, and can
avoid useless error object creation and destruction. Note that
we still have many functions returning void. We recommend
• bool-valued functions return true on success / false on failure,
• pointer-valued functions return non-null / null pointer, and
• integer-valued functions return non-negative / negative.
"
So make smp_parse() return true on success and false on failure,
so that we can more laconically check whether the parsing has
succeeded without touching the errp.

This patch isn't adding a leak, as there's no change in
control flow / exit paths. AFAICT, the leak was introduced
in patch 15 instead, so the code below shoudl be squashed
into that, and this patch left as-is.

Yes, even better make it a separate patch and fix the conflict in patch
15. But I'm still not sure of the wisdom of this patch.
At this point smp_parse has exactly one caller and it doesn't care about
the return value. The "return a boolean" rule adds some complexity (and
a possibility for things to be wrong/inconsistent) to the function for
the benefit of the callers. If there is only one caller, as is the case
here or for virtual functions, the benefit can well be zero (this case)
or negative (virtual functions).

Yes, but returning something is only a minor burden. It also makes
success vs. failure obvious at a glance.
I'm not worrying about inconsistency anymore. In a way, void functions
are an exception. Many non-void functions return a distinct error value
on failure, like NULL. The only kind of inconsistency I can remember
seeing in these functions is forgetting to set an error. Can be screwed
up in a void function just as easily.

Two small benefits here:
1. No need for ERRP_GUARD().
2. Conforms to the rules. Rules are not laws, but let's stick to them
when it's as easy as it is here.
For what it's worth, GLib always advised users of GError to return a
value. We chose to deviate for our Error, then spent nine years
learning how that leads to cumbersome code, leading us to:
commit e3fe3988d7851cac30abffae06d2f555ff7bee62
Author: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
Date: Tue Jul 7 18:05:31 2020 +0200
error: Document Error API usage rules
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.

Hi,
Thanks for the fix, Paolo!
I notice that with Paolo's fix applied first and then Patch15 removing
the sanity checks out, machine_set_smp() at last simply becomes:
static void machine_set_smp(Object *obj, Visitor *v, const char *name,
void *opaque, Error **errp)
{
MachineState *ms = MACHINE(obj);
g_autoptr(SMPConfiguration) config = NULL;
if (!visit_type_SMPConfiguration(v, name, &config, errp)) {
return;
}
smp_parse(ms, config, errp);
}
It looks good currently, neither the returned boolean nor the errp needs to
be checked here now, and smp_parse is only called here. So in this case,
we may avoid the boolean until we need to use it and honor the rule. :）
Thanks,
Yanan

Even inlining smp_parse is a possibility now.

Fair enough; I'd still prefer to have an exception to the rule for
virtual functions. In that case, I really find the benefit to be negative.
