Peter Maydell d1b02ea0dc linux-user/arm/syscall_nr.h: Add syscall number for ppoll
The list of ARM syscall numbers was missing the entry for ppoll,
which meant we were accidentally not providing it. (This wasn't
causing any practical issues beyond warnings about unimplemented
syscalls, because glibc will fall back to another code path if the
syscall isn't present.)

Alexander Graf 288e65b9ee linux-user: reserve 4GB of vmem for 32-on-64
When running 32-on-64 bit guests, we should always reserve as much
virtual memory as we possibly can for the guest process, so it can
never overlap with QEMU address space.

Fortunately we already have the infrastructure for that. All that's
missing is some sane default value to also make use of it!

From original commit with Patchwork-id: 31108 by
Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

"The QED image format includes a file header bit to mark images dirty.
QED normally checks dirty images on open and fixes inconsistent
metadata.  This is undesirable during live migration since the dirty bit
may be set if the source host is modifying the image file.  The check
should be postponed until migration completes.

Skip operations that modify the image file if the BDRV_O_INCOMING flag
is set."

Benoît Canet ccb1f4a7b3 block: Add new BDRV_O_INCOMING flag to notice incoming live migration
From original patch with Patchwork-id: 31110 by
Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

"Add a flag to indicate that incoming migration is pending and care needs
to be taken for data consistency.  Block drivers should not modify the
image file before incoming migration is complete since the migration
source host is still using the image file."

The rationale for not using bdrv->read_only is the following.

"Unfortunately this is not possible because too many other places in QEMU
test bdrv_is_read_only() and use it for their own evil purposes.  For
example, ide_init_drive() will error out because read-only harddisks are
not supported.  We're mixing guest and host side read-only concepts so
this simpler alternative does not work."

The new bs (bs_new) passed into bdrv_append() should be anonymous.  Rather
than call bdrv_make_anon() to enforce this, use an assert to catch when a caller

Also, the new top layer should have its backing_format reflect the original
top's format.

And last, after the swap of bs contents, the device_name will have been copied

Paolo Bonzini 3e914655f2 block: fix streaming/closing race
Streaming can issue I/O while qcow2_close is running.  This causes the
L2 caches to become very confused or, alternatively, could cause a
segfault when the streaming coroutine is reentered after closing its
block device.  The fix is to cancel streaming jobs when closing their
underlying device.

The cancellation must be synchronous, on the other hand qemu_aio_wait
will not restart a coroutine that is sleeping in co_sleep.  So add
a flag saying whether streaming has in-flight I/O.  If the busy flag
is false, the coroutine is quiescent and, when cancelled, will not
issue any new I/O.

This protects streaming against closing, but not against deleting.
We have a reference count protecting us against concurrent deletion,
but I still added an assertion to ensure nothing bad happens.

According to the SCSI Block Commands (SBC) standard a device's block
size is "almost always greater than one byte and may be a multiple of
512 bytes".  QEMU currently has a 512 byte minimum block size because
the block layer functions work at that granularity.  Furthermore, the
block size should be a power of 2 because QEMU calculates bitmasks from
the value.

Introduce a "blocksize" property type so devices can enforce these
constraints on block size values.  If the constraints are relaxed in the
future then this property can be updated.

Introduce the new PropertyValueNotPowerOf2 QError so QMP clients know
exactly why a block size value was rejected.
