Actually I am not sure it would be nice to require every single class to
save/call the parent realize function. I am starting to like the more
relaxed requirement.  :-)

I used qemu_init_vcpu() as an example because it's something called by
the realize function for all targets, and one day could be called by a
common CPUClass realize function. I didn't check if it was possible to
convert it today, already.

My point is: if you need to save the pointer and call the parent realize
function only if documented and required by the parent class, the parent
could as well simply document it as "subclasses of TYPE_FOO should
manually call foo_realize() if they override the realize function"
instead of "subclasses of TYPE_FOO should save and call the parent
realize function if they override de realize function". Won't it be
easier and simpler?

I've sent out a patch improving QOM and DeviceClass documentation. :)

We could do that if we fix up the respective DeviceClass::init,
SysBusDeviceClass::init etc. code. Question is (just as with some x86
CPU code) whether it's worth cleaning up when we know that it is to be
refactored later.

[snip]

Actually that particular piece of code is unrelated to this discussion
since qemu_init_vcpu() still operates on CPUArchState and thus cannot be
moved into CPUClass yet. The reason is that
cpus.c:qemu_kvm_cpu_thread_fn sets cpu_single_env, and I do not see a
solution for that - suggestions or patches welcome.

However, I see that kvm-all.c:kvm_on_sigbus_vcpu() can be switched to
CPUState now, so that cpus.c:qemu_kvm_eat_signals() can be changed to
CPUState, used from cpus.c:qemu_kvm_wait_io_event().
But cpus.c:cpu_thread_is_idle() still uses env->halted, which is blocked
by the search for an acceptable solution to flush the TLB at CPUState
level (exec.c:cpu_common_post_load()).

I had read "if so desired" as "if it's desired to override the realize
callback", not as "if it's desired to call the parent realize function".

I believed every class could assume that subclasses would never override
realize() without calling the parent class' realize function (so we
could add stuff to DeviceClass.realize and CPUClass.realize in the
future and be sure that the code would be always called).

But from the documentation mentioning "new leaf types should consult
their respective parent type", it looks like this decision would be
taken/documented in each base class. If that's the case, then OK.

That was the semantics I was expecting: base classes would safely
introduce realize functions without worrying if subclasses would
override it incorrectly and break it.

Anyway, saving the parent function in every subclass is so cumbersome
that simply documenting it as "CPUClass subclasses must call
qemu_init_vcpu()" sounds easier than "CPUClass subclasses must save the
parent's realize() and call it". So:

"if so desired" - I didn't desire or need to call code that calls an
initfn that no longer exists after this patch. Same as the ISADevice
conversion series did not unnecessarily call the DeviceClass-level
backwards-compatibility realizefn: to save time-consuming
...Class::parent_realizefn field additions and to not in the end call
code that doesn't NULL-check ...DeviceClass::init. That's qdev's old
"leaf type" concept mentioned in the same documentation.

I mentioned in the cover letter that this needs to be changed once a
CPUClass-level realizefn is introduced. I could introduce a no-op
realizefn there and do the regular store+call.

Note that wherever we set realized = true on CPUs, we need to test and
re-review for further unchecked uses of parent_bus. It has been pushed
to qom-cpu-realize branch for anyone that wants to play with the latest
version.

The DeviceClass documenation says:

"Any type may override the @realize and/or @unrealize callbacks but
needs to call (and thus save) the parent type's implementation if so
desired."

Why are you not following it?
