The 'ref405ep' machine and PPC 405 CPU have no known users, firmware
images are not available, OpenWRT dropped support in 2019, U-Boot in
2017, Linux also is dropping support in 2024. It is time to let go of
this ancient hardware and focus on newer CPUs and platforms.

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.

This option controls the host page size. From the mis-usage in
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

This might be premature but while streamlining the avocado tests I
realised the only tests we have are "check-tcg" ones. The ageing

used in CI as we need supported build platforms to build QEMU.
Does this mean the writing is on the wall for this architecture?

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.
