38183310be memory: move preallocation code out of exec.c
So that backends can use it.

Since we need the page size for efficiency, move code to compute it
out of translate-all.c and into util/oslib-win32.c.

888a6bc63c Add option to mlock qemu and guest memory
In certain scenario, latency induced by paging is significant and
memory locking is needed. Also, in the scenario with untrusted
guests, latency improvement due to mlock is desired.

This patch introduces a following new option to mlock guest and
qemu memory:

-realtime mlock=on|off

6ab7e5465a Replace all setjmp()/longjmp() with sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp()
The setjmp() function doesn't specify whether signal masks are saved and
restored; on Linux they are not, but on BSD (including MacOSX) they are.
We want to have consistent behaviour across platforms, so we should
always use "don't save/restore signal mask" (this is also generally
going to be faster). This also works around a bug in MacOSX where the
signal-restoration on longjmp() affects the signal mask for a completely
different thread, not just the mask for the thread which did the longjmp.
The most visible effect of this was that ctrl-C was ignored on MacOSX
because the CPU thread did a longjmp which resulted in its signal mask
being applied to every thread, so that all threads had SIGINT and SIGTERM
blocked.

The POSIX-sanctioned portable way to do a jump without affecting signal
masks is to siglongjmp() to a sigjmp_buf which was created by calling
sigsetjmp() with a zero savemask parameter, so change all uses of
setjmp()/longjmp() accordingly. [Technically POSIX allows sigsetjmp(buf, 0)
to save the signal mask; however the following siglongjmp() must not
restore the signal mask, so the pair can be effectively considered as
"sigjmp/longjmp which don't touch the mask".]

For Windows we provide a trivial sigsetjmp/siglongjmp in terms of
setjmp/longjmp -- this is OK because no user will ever pass a non-zero
savemask.

The setjmp() uses in tests/tcg/test-i386.c and tests/tcg/linux-test.c
are left untouched because these are self-contained singlethreaded
test programs intended to be run under QEMU's Linux emulation, so they
have neither the portability nor the multithreading issues to deal with.

7b2d977981 util: Fix compilation of envlist.c for MinGW
MinGW has no strtok_r, so we need a declaration in sysemu/os-win32.h.
We must also fix the include statements in util/envlist.c to include
that file.

We currently don't need an implementation of strtok_r because the
code is compiled but not linked for MinGW.
