When there are many instances of a given class, registering
properties against the instance is wasteful of resources. The
majority of objects have a statically defined list of possible
properties, so most of the properties are easily registerable
against the class. Only those properties which are conditionally
registered at runtime need be recorded against the klass.
Registering properties against classes also makes it possible
to provide static introspection of QOM - currently introspection
is only possible after creating an instance of a class, which
severely limits its usefulness.
This impl only supports simple scalar properties. It does not
attempt to allow child object / link object properties against
the class. There are ways to support those too, but it would
make this patch more complicated, so it is left as an exercise
for the future.
There is no equivalent to object_property_del() provided, since
classes must be immutable once they are defined.
Backports commit 16bf7f522a2ff68993f80631ed86254c71eaf5d4 from qemu
Fix formatting of local apic definitions and drop unused constant
APIC_INPUT_POLARITY, APIC_SEND_PENDING. Magic numbers in shifts are
replaced with constants defined just above.
Backports commit b6cfc3c2ac5a1025d8fe7d74421a73ec495408f9 from qemu
Added prefix APIC_ for determining the constant of a particular subsystem,
improve the overall readability and match other constant names.
Backports commit a22bf99c5852f369dc620be2c3c93535a5b69a58 from qemu
These constants are needed for optimal access to
bit fields local apic registers without magic numbers.
Backports commit 6519d187e301c5a14a8c9b32fb93027b04a4336d from qemu
apic_internal.h relies on cpu.h having been included (for the
X86CPU type); include it directly rather than relying on it
being pulled in via one of the other includes like timer.h.
Backports commit 20fbcfdd58ea47607a5755979d43f8c48ac93f08 from qemu
osdep.h has a few things which are really compiler specific;
move them to compiler.h, and include compiler.h from osdep.h.
Backports commit 4912086865083a008f4fb73173fd0ddf2206c4d9 from qemu
Including qemu-common.h from other header files is generally a bad
idea, because it means it's very easy to end up with a circular
dependency. For instance, if we wanted to include memory.h from
qom/cpu.h we'd end up with this loop:
memory.h -> qemu-common.h -> cpu.h -> cpu-qom.h -> qom/cpu.h -> memory.h
Remove the include from memory.h. This requires us to fix up a few
other files which were inadvertently getting declarations indirectly
through memory.h.
The biggest change is splitting the fprintf_function typedef out
into its own header so other headers can get at it without having
to include qemu-common.h.
Backports commit fba0a593b2809ecdda68650952cf3d3332ac1990 from qemu
Since the BSP bit is writable on real hardware, during reset all the CPUs which
were not chosen to be the BSP should have their BSP bit cleared. This fix is
required for KVM to work correctly when it changes the BSP bit.
An additional fix is required for QEMU tcg to allow software to change the BSP
bit.
