[PATCH v12 0/8] error: auto propagated local_err part I

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To speed things up, I'm taking the liberty to respin Vladimir's series
with my documentation amendments.

After my documentation work, I'm very much inclined to rename
ERRP_AUTO_PROPAGATE() to ERRP_GUARD().  The fact that it propagates
below the hood is detail.  What matters to its users is that it lets
them use @errp more freely.  Thoughts?

Based-on: Message-Id: <20200707160613.848843-1-armbru@xxxxxxxxxx>

Available from my public repository https://repo.or.cz/qemu/armbru.git
on branch error-auto.

v12: (based on "[PATCH v4 00/45] Less clumsy error checking")
01: Comments merged properly with recent commit "error: Document Error
API usage rules", and edited for clarity.  Put ERRP_AUTO_PROPAGATE()
before its helpers, and touch up style.
01-08: Commit messages tweaked

Vladimir's cover letter for v11:

v11: (based-on "[PATCH v2 00/44] Less clumsy error checking")
01: minor rebase of documentation, keep r-bs
02: - minor comment tweaks [Markus]
    - use explicit file name in MAINTAINERS instead of pattern
    - add Markus's r-b
03,07,08: rabase changes, drop r-bs


v11 is available at
 https://src.openvz.org/scm/~vsementsov/qemu.git #tag 
up-auto-local-err-partI-v11
v10 is available at
 https://src.openvz.org/scm/~vsementsov/qemu.git #tag 
up-auto-local-err-partI-v10

In these series, there is no commit-per-subsystem script, each generated
commit is generated in separate.

Still, generating commands are very similar, and looks like

    sed -n '/^<Subsystem name>$/,/^$/{s/^F: //p}' MAINTAINERS | \
    xargs git ls-files | grep '\.[hc]$' | \
    xargs spatch \
        --sp-file scripts/coccinelle/auto-propagated-errp.cocci \
        --macro-file scripts/cocci-macro-file.h \
        --in-place --no-show-diff --max-width 80

Note, that in each generated commit, generation command is the only
text, indented by 8 spaces in 'git log -1' output, so, to regenerate all
commits (for example, after rebase, or change in coccinelle script), you
may use the following command:

git rebase -x "sh -c \"git show --pretty= --name-only | xargs git checkout 
HEAD^ -- ; git reset; git log -1 | grep '^        ' | sh\"" HEAD~6

Which will start automated interactive rebase for generated patches,
which will stop if generated patch changed
(you may do git commit --amend to apply updated generated changes).

Note:
  git show --pretty= --name-only   - lists files, changed in HEAD
  git log -1 | grep '^        ' | sh   - rerun generation command of HEAD


Check for compilation of changed .c files
git rebase -x "sh -c \"git show --pretty= --name-only | sed -n 's/\.c$/.o/p' | 
xargs make -j9\"" HEAD~6
