Hi John,

Thanks for reviewing!


I haven't read the rest of this series; I'm chiming in solely from the 
build/python maintainer angle. Do we *always* need pysvd, no matter how QEMU 
was configured? Adding it to the meson line here is a very big hammer.


I think the minimum we can do is to install it only if CONFIG_ARM is
enabled. That might change in the future if the models we create with
pysvd are enabled for other architectures.

Similarly on how we manage libfdt, you can have meson defines
SVDGEN as:

  config_host_data.set('CONFIG_SVDGEN', svd_gen_header.found())

Then declare SVDGEN in Kconfig.host, and finally use in the Kconfigs:

  config FLEXCOMM_UART
      bool
      depends on SVDGEN

  config RT500
      bool
      depends on ARM
      select FLEXCOMM_UART

See for FDT examples:

$ git grep 'depends on.*FDT'
hw/core/Kconfig:10:    depends on FDT
hw/i386/Kconfig:118:    depends on I386 && FDT
hw/loongarch/Kconfig:4:    depends on LOONGARCH64 && FDT
hw/mips/Kconfig:84:    depends on MIPS64 && !TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN && FDT
hw/ppc/Kconfig:4:    depends on PPC64 && FDT
hw/ppc/Kconfig:29:    depends on PPC64 && FDT
hw/ppc/Kconfig:58:    depends on PPC && FDT
hw/ppc/Kconfig:77:    depends on PPC && FDT
hw/ppc/Kconfig:174:    depends on PPC && FDT
hw/ppc/Kconfig:180:    depends on PPC && FDT
hw/ppc/Kconfig:186:    depends on PPC && FDT
hw/rx/Kconfig:11:    depends on RX && FDT
hw/xtensa/Kconfig:17:    depends on XTENSA && FDT

If not, consider looking at how sphinx (the "docs" group) is only conditionally 
installed into the configure venv and mimic that using the appropriate configure flags 
that necessitate the availability of pyvsd for the QEMU build.

Thanks for the pointer, I'll take a look.


We also need to provide a way for pysvd to be available offline; some packages 
are available via distro libs and if this package is available for every distro 
we officially support, that's sufficient (but requires updates to our various 
docker and VM test configuration files to add the new dependency). Otherwise, 
like we do for meson, we need to vendor the wheel in the tree so offline 
tarball builds will continue to work.

It looks like pysvd is a pure python package with no dependencies, so it should 
be OK to vendor it in qemu.git/python/wheels/ - look at 
qemu.git/python/scripts/vendor.py and consider updating and running this script.

Thanks, I'll look at it and add it in v2.


(The real blocker here is that RPM builds are performed offline and 
dependencies that cannot be satisfied via rpm can't be added through pip. We 
need any one of these to be true: (A) pyvsd is available (of a sufficient 
version) in all distro repositories we target; (B) This build feature is 
conditional and nobody minds if it never gets enabled for RPM builds; (C) The 
package can be vendored.)

~~js

That said, you might be the first person I've seen outside of Paolo and I to 
brave mucking around with the python build venv. You deserve a bravery sticker 
:)
