d4c71c6725 src: make virObject inherit from GObject
To avoid bugs with mixing of g_object_(ref|unref) vs
virObject(Ref|Unref), we want every virObject to be
a GObject.

0d1840729f src: make virObjectUnref return void
To prepare for a conversion to GObject, we need virObjectUnref
to have the same API design as g_object_unref, which means it
needs to be void.

A few places do actually care about the return value though,
and in these cases a thread local flag is used to determine
if the dispose method was invoked.

bc7e72914a util: consolidate on one free callback for hash data
This previous commit introduced a simpler free callback for
hash data with only 1 arg, the value to free:

  commit 49288fac96
  Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com>
  Date:   Wed Oct 9 15:26:37 2019 +0200

    util: hash: Add possibility to use simpler data free function in virHash

It missed two functions in the hash table code which need
to call the alternate data free function, virHashRemoveEntry
and virHashRemoveSet.

After the previous patch though, there is no code that
makes functional use of the 2nd key arg in the data
free function. There is merely one log message that can
be dropped.

We can thus purge the current virHashDataFree callback
entirely, and rename virHashDataFreeSimple to replace
it.

1c560052a8 object: Add sanity check on correct parent class
Checking that the derived class is larger than the requested parent
class saves us from some obvious mistakes, but as written, it does not
catch all the cases; in particular, it is easy to forget to update a
VIR_CLASS_NEW when changing the 'parent' member from virObject to
virObjectLockabale, but where the size checks don't catch that.  Add a
parameter for one more layer of sanity checking.

It would be cool if we could get gcc to stringize typeof(parent) into
the string name of that type, so that we could confirm that the
precise parent class is in use rather than just a struct that happens
to have the same size as the parent class.  But sizeof checks are
better than nothing.

Note that I did NOT change the fact that we require derived classes to
be larger (as the difference in size makes it easy to tell classes
apart), which means that even if a derived class has no functionality
to add (but rather exists for compiler-enforced type-safety), it must
still include a dummy member.  But I did fix the wording of the error
message to match the code.

632ac8f8e7 virobject: Improve documentation
I had to inspect the code to learn whether a final virObjectUnref()
calls ALL dispose callbacks in child-to-parent order (akin to C++
destructors), or whether I manually had to call a parent-class dispose
when writing a child class dispose method.  The answer is the
former. (Thankfully, since VIR_FREE wipes out pointers for safety,
even if I had guessed wrong, I probably would not have tripped over a
double-free fault when the parent dispose ran for the second time).  I
also had to read the code to learn if a dispose method was even
mandatory (it is not, although getting NULL through VIR_CLASS_NEW
requires a macro).  While at it, the VIR_CLASS_NEW macro requires that
the virObject component at offset 0 be reached through the name
'parent', not 'object'.

10f94828ea virobject: Introduce VIR_CLASS_NEW() macro
So far we are repeating the following lines over and over:

  if (!(virSomeObjectClass = virClassNew(virClassForObject(),
                             "virSomeObject",
                             sizeof(virSomeObject),
                             virSomeObjectDispose)))
      return -1;

While this works, it is impossible to do some checking. Firstly,
the class name (the 2nd argument) doesn't match the name in the
code in all cases (the 3rd argument). Secondly, the current style
is needlessly verbose. This commit turns example into following:

  if (!(VIR_CLASS_NEW(virSomeObject,
                      virClassForObject)))
      return -1;

dfa0efbb77 util: Add magic number check for object validity
The virObjectIsClass API has only ever checked object validity
based on if the @obj is not NULL and it was derived from some class.
While this has worked well in general, there is one additional
check that could be made prior to calling virClassIsDerivedFrom
which loops through the classes checking the magic number against
the klass expected magic number.

If by chance a non virObject is passed, rather than assuming the
void * @obj is a _virObject and thus offsetting to obj->klass,
obj->magic, and obj->parent, let's check that the void * @obj
has at least the "base part" of the magic number in the right
place and generate a more specific VIR_WARN message if not.

There are many consumers to virObjectIsClass, include the locking
primitives virObject{Lock|Unlock}, virObjectRWLock{Read|Write},
and virObjectRWUnlock. For those callers, the locking call will
not fail, but it also will not attempt a virMutex* call which
will "most likely" fail since the &obj->lock is used.

In order to avoid some possible future wrap on the 0xCAFExxxx
value, add a check during initialization that some new class
won't cause the wrap. Should be good for a few years at least!

It is still left up to the caller to handle the failed API calls
just as it would be if it passed a NULL opaque pointer anyobj.

77f4593b09 virobject: Introduce virObjectRWLockable
Up until now we only had virObjectLockable which uses mutexes for
mutually excluding each other in critical section. Well, this is
not enough. Future work will require RW locks so we might as well
have virObjectRWLockable which is introduced here.

Moreover, polymorphism is introduced to our code for the first
time. Yay! More specifically, virObjectLock will grab a write
lock, virObjectLockRead will grab a read lock then (what a
surprise right?). This has great advantage that an object can be
made derived from virObjectRWLockable in a single line and still
continue functioning properly (mutexes can be viewed as grabbing
write locks only). Then just those critical sections that can
grab a read lock need fixing. Therefore the resulting change is
going to be way smaller.

In order to avoid writer starvation, the object initializes RW
lock that prefers writers.

fca4f23340 object: require maximal alignment in base class
Recent changes to events (commit 8a29ffcf) resulted in new compile
failures on some targets (such as ARM OMAP5):
conf/domain_event.c: In function 'virDomainEventDispatchDefaultFunc':
conf/domain_event.c:1198:30: error: cast increases required alignment of
target type [-Werror=cast-align]
conf/domain_event.c:1314:34: error: cast increases required alignment of
target type [-Werror=cast-align]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

The error is due to alignment; the base class is merely aligned
to the worst of 'int' and 'void*', while the child class must
be aligned to a 'long long'.  The solution is to include a
'long long' (and for good measure, a function pointer) in the
base class to ensure correct alignment regardless of what a
child class may add, but to wrap the inclusion in a union so
as to not incur any wasted space.  On a typical x86_64 platform,
the base class remains 16 bytes; on i686, the base class remains
12 bytes; and on the impacted ARM platform, the base class grows
from 12 bytes to 16 bytes due to the increase of alignment from
4 to 8 bytes.

Reported by Michele Paolino and others.

* src/util/virobject.h (_virObject): Use a union to ensure that
subclasses never have stricter alignment than the parent.

784a99f794 Add a generic reference counted virObject type
This introduces a fairly basic reference counted virObject type
and an associated virClass type, that use atomic operations for
ref counting.

In a global initializer (recommended to be invoked using the
virOnceInit API), a virClass type must be allocated for each
object type. This requires a class name, a "dispose" callback
which will be invoked to free memory associated with the object's
fields, and the size in bytes of the object struct.

eg,

   virClassPtr  connclass = virClassNew("virConnect",
                                        sizeof(virConnect),
                                        virConnectDispose);

The struct for the object, must include 'virObject' as its
first member

eg

  struct _virConnect {
    virObject object;

    virURIPtr uri;
  };

The 'dispose' callback is only responsible for freeing
fields in the object, not the object itself. eg a suitable
impl for the above struct would be

  void virConnectDispose(void *obj) {
     virConnectPtr conn = obj;
     virURIFree(conn->uri);
  }

There is no need to reset fields to 'NULL' or '0' in the
dispose callback, since the entire object will be memset
to 0, and the klass pointer & magic integer fields will
be poisoned with 0xDEADBEEF before being free()d

When creating an instance of an object, one needs simply
pass the virClassPtr eg

   virConnectPtr conn = virObjectNew(connclass);
   if (!conn)
      return NULL;
   conn->uri = virURIParse("foo:///bar")

Object references can be manipulated with

   virObjectRef(conn)
   virObjectUnref(conn)

The latter returns a true value, if the object has been
freed (ie its ref count hit zero)
