The patch applies to upstream qemu as well as kvm-userspace, but since it is
the qemu configure script I think it should go to upstream qemu (Anthony)
first and with the next merge to kvm-userspace. On the other hand it is the kvm
probe so an ack from Avi in case v3 is ok would be reasonable.
*updates*
v2 - it also reports other errors than just #error preprocessor statements
(requested by Avi)
v3 - In case awk or grep is not installed it now gracfully (silently)
fails still disabling kvm (requested by Anthony)
This patch is about reporting more details of the issue if configuring kvm
fails. Therefore this patch keeps the qemu style configure output which is a
list of "$Feature $Status", but extend the "no" result like "KVM Support no"
with some more information.
There might be a lot of things going wrong with that probe and I don't want
to handle all of them, but if it is one of the known checks e.g. for
KVM_API_VERSION then we could grep/awk that out and report it. The patch
reports in case of a known case in the style
"KVM support no - (Missing KVM capability KVM_CAP_DESTROY_MEMORY_REGION_WORKS)"
In case more than one #error is triggered it creates a comma separated list in
those brackets and in case it is something else than an #error it just reports
plain old "no".

There is already a variable kvm_cflags which gets the path of the kernel
includes when using --kerneldir. But eventually with newer kernels we all will
need arch/$arch/include too (my case was a incldue of asm/kvm.h which was not
found anymore). Headers in a full kernel source are not flattened to
one arch like they are if e.g. installed kernel headers are used.
To fix that, the includes added to cflags depending on --kerneldir should also
contian the arch includes. The patch adds a special check for x86 because its
source layout recently changed, all others directly use arch/$cpu/include if
existent.

We have been relying on uname to determine the host cpu architecture and
operating system. This is totally broken for cross compilation. It was
workable in the past because you can manually override both settings but after
the host USB passthrough refactoring, cross host builds were broken.
This moves the parsing of --cc and --cross-prefix to before the probes for cpu
and host. Complation testing is used to determine the host and CPU types. I've
only added checks for i386, x86_64, Linux, and Windows since these are the only
platforms I have access to for testing. Everything else falls back to uname.
It should be relatively easy to add the right checks for other platforms and
eliminate uname altogether.

To implement the -kernel, -initrd, and -append options, 4xx board emulation
must load the guest kernel as if firmware had loaded it. Where u-boot would be
the firmware, we must load the flat device tree into memory and set key fields
such as /chosen/bootargs.
This patch introduces a dependency on libfdt for flat device tree support.

glibc implements posix-aio as a thread pool and imposes a number of limitations.
1) it limits one request per-file descriptor. we hack around this by dup()'ing
file descriptors which is hideously ugly
2) it's impossible to add new interfaces and we need a vectored read/write
operation to properly support a zero-copy API.
What has been suggested to me by glibc folks, is to implement whatever new
interfaces we want and then it can eventually be proposed for standardization.
This requires that we implement our own posix-aio implementation though.
This patch implements posix-aio using pthreads. It immediately eliminates the
need for fd pooling.
It performs at least as well as the current posix-aio code (in some
circumstances, even better).

Prior to kvm-80, memory slot deletion was broken in the KVM kernel
modules. In kvm-81, a new capability is introduced to signify that this
problem has been fixed.
Since we rely on being able to delete memory slots, refuse to work with
any kernel module that does not have this capability present.

This patch adds very basic KVM support. KVM is a kernel module for Linux that
allows userspace programs to make use of hardware virtualization support. It
current supports x86 hardware virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V. It
also supports IA64 VT-i, PPC 440, and S390.
This patch only implements the bare minimum support to get a guest booting. It
has very little impact the rest of QEMU and attempts to integrate nicely with
the rest of QEMU.
Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.
Booting and shutting down a Linux guest:
w/TCG: 1:32.36 elapsed 84% CPU
w/KVM: 0:31.14 elapsed 59% CPU
Right now, KVM is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with
-enable-kvm. We can enable it by default later when we have had better
testing.

Replace signalfd with signal handler/pipe. There is no way to interrupt
the CPU execution loop when a file descriptor becomes readable. This
results in a large performance regression in sparc emulation during
bootup.
This patch switches us to signal handler/pipe which was originally
suggested by Ian Jackson. The signal handler lets us interrupt the
CPU emulation loop while the write to a pipe lets us avoid the
select/signal race condition.

This adds support for running the sparse checker during the build
