    maintainer omnibus: testing, fuzz, plugins, documentation

As softfreeze is fast approaching I thought it would be work combining
my various trees into an omnibus series to ease the review and
merging.

The testing updates exposed a number of latent leaks that confused the
oss-fuzz jobs (hence the test-fuzz addition to help debug that). This
also includes some minor plugin updates and finally some documentation
updates that clean-up and expose the QOM and QDEV APIs which are so
core to emulating anything in QEMU.

v2
  - applied a bunch of review tags
  - added missing doc suggestions from Paolo
  - tweaked the plugin fix for CI

The following patches need review:

 - qemu-keymap: properly check return from xkb_keymap_mod_get_index

    docs/devel: improve API documentation for QOM

Hi,

At the recent QEMU maintainers summit we lamented the fact it was hard
to push forward with our modernising plans as legacy approaches still
get introduced into the code. A lot of knowledge about the "modern"
way of doing things is locked up in senior developers heads. Lets make
a push to improve the developer documentation and ensure best
practice is easy to find.

Some sort of parable about distribution of fishes and knowledge seems
appropriate here.

    dc9b1249 · tests/avocado: Test Xen guest support under KVM · 
    more misc fixes for 8.0 (tests, gdbstub, meta, docs)

Testing of kaniko as an alternative builder ran into the weeds so that
patch has been dropped. It looks like the gitlab registry doesn't
support layer caching. However the build also seems to be very
unstable leading to a bunch of container build failures, e.g.:

  https://gitlab.com/stsquad/qemu/-/pipelines/823381159/failures

I've also dropped the avocado version bump. We do gain two new patches
- one minor gdbstub fix for BSD and including the Xen KVM test.

It would be nice to get some review of the documentation update from
the block maintainers but if no one objects I still intend to merge it
in lieu of anything better.

I'll roll the PR tomorrow morning.

Alex.

    more misc fixes for 8.0 (tests, gdbstub, meta, docs)

Here are a few more random fixes across the tree. All should be good
for the current phase of freeze although I can drop stuff if it causes
problems.

I've included another run at using the kaniko build tool and will see
if it improves the caching of things as it runs through my CI loop.

    16de4f2e · contrib/gitdm: add group map for AMD · 
    tweaks and fixes for 8.0-rc1 (tests, plugins, docs)

As usual for softfreeze I switch from my usual maintainer trees to
collecting up miscellaneous fixes and tweaks as we stabilise the
build. I was intending to send it as a PR but I had to squash a number
of CI failures by adding stuff to:

      *: Add missing includes of qemu/error-report.h
      *: Add missing includes of qemu/plugin.h

so I thought it was worth another spin and I can cut the PR from this
if the reviews are ok.

Since v1:
  - grabbed Daniel's iotest cleanup for CI
  - new version of Richard's plugin fix
  - a number of gitdm updates

I've left:
  tests/tcg: disable pauth for aarch64 gdb tests

in for now, but I can easily drop it for the PR as it seems the
consensus is there will be stable updates to gdb that no longer crash
on our pauth support.

The following still need review:

 - contrib/gitdm: add more individual contributors (1 acks, 1 sobs)
 - tests/tcg: add some help output for running individual tests
 - include/qemu: add documentation for memory callbacks
 - gitlab: update centos-8-stream job
 - scripts/ci: update gitlab-runner playbook to handle CentOS
 - tests/docker: all add DOCKER_BUILDKIT to RUNC environment

Hi,

I've sent a PR with the acked names so this series contains those that
didn't respond as well as some updates from the new year. The c-sky
situation is a little confused but I saw t-head was part of Alibaba so
have wrapped them all up there.

Do let me know if you want different mappings.

Thanks,

Alex.
