1e9fa73016 fix gdbstub support for multiple threads in usermode, v3
When debugging multi-threaded programs, QEMU's gdb stub would report the
correct number of threads (the qfThreadInfo and qsThreadInfo packets).
However, the stub was unable to actually switch between threads (the T
packet), since it would report every thread except the first as being
dead.  Furthermore, the stub relied upon cpu_index as a reliable means
of assigning IDs to the threads.  This was a bad idea; if you have this
sequence of events:

initial thread created
new thread #1
new thread #2
thread #1 exits
new thread #3

thread #3 will have the same cpu_index as thread #1, which would confuse
GDB.  (This problem is partly due to the remote protocol not having a
good way to send thread creation/destruction events.)

We fix this by using the host thread ID for the identifier passed to GDB
when debugging a multi-threaded userspace program.  The thread ID might
wrap, but the same sort of problems with wrapping thread IDs would come
up with debugging programs natively, so this doesn't represent a
problem.

b0a46a333a kvm: Add missing bits to support live migration
This patch adds the missing hooks to allow live migration in KVM mode.
It adds proper synchronization before/after saving/restoring the VCPU
states (note: PPC is untested), hooks into
cpu_physical_memory_set_dirty_tracking() to enable dirty memory logging
at KVM level, and synchronizes that drity log into QEMU's view before
running ram_live_save().

---------->

If the KVM MMU is asynchronous (kernel does not support MMU_NOTIFIER),
we have to avoid COW for the guest memory. Otherwise we risk serious
breakage when guest pages change there physical locations due to COW
after fork. Seen when forking smbd during runtime via -smb.

e22a25c936 Guest debugging support for KVM (Jan Kiszka)
This is a backport of the guest debugging support for the KVM
accelerator that is now part of the KVM tree. It implements the reworked
KVM kernel API for guest debugging (KVM_CAP_SET_GUEST_DEBUG) which is
not yet part of any mainline kernel but will probably be 2.6.30 stuff.
So far supported is x86, but PPC is expected to catch up soon.

Core features are:
 - unlimited soft-breakpoints via code patching
 - hardware-assisted x86 breakpoints and watchpoints

Changes in this version:
 - use generic hook cpu_synchronize_state to transfer registers between
   user space and kvm
 - push kvm_sw_breakpoints into KVMState

be214e6c05 Fix race condition on access to env->interrupt_request
env->interrupt_request is accessed as the bit level from both main code
and signal handler, making a race condition possible even on CISC CPU.
This causes freeze of QEMU under high load when running the dyntick
clock.

The patch below move the bit corresponding to CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT in a
separate variable, declared as volatile sig_atomic_t, so it should be
work even on RISC CPU.

We may want to move the cpu_interrupt(env, CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT) case in
its own function and get rid of CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT. That can be done
later, I wanted to keep the patch short for easier review.

6c2934db94 Fix cpu_physical_memory_rw() for 64-bit I/O accesses
KVM uses cpu_physical_memory_rw() to access the I/O devices. When a
read or write with a length of 8-byte is requested, it is split into 2
4-byte accesses.

This has been broken in revision 5849. After this revision, only the
first 4 bytes are actually read/write to the device, as the target
address is changed, so on the next iteration of the loop the next 4
bytes are actually read/written elsewhere (in the RAM for the graphic
card).

This patch fixes screen corruption (and most probably data corruption)
with FreeBSD/amd64. Bug #2556746 in KVM bugzilla.

f65ed4c152 KVM: Coalesced MMIO support
MMIO exits are more expensive in KVM or Xen than in QEMU because they 
involve, at least, privilege transitions.  However, MMIO write 
operations can be effectively batched if those writes do not have side 
effects.

Good examples of this include VGA pixel operations when in a planar 
mode.  As it turns out, we can get a nice boost in other areas too.  
Laurent mentioned a 9.7% performance boost in iperf with the coalesced 
MMIO changes for the e1000 when he originally posted this work for KVM.

1cb0661e00 arm: Reserve code buffer in memory range reachable for pc-relative branch.
Unfortunately this range is so narrow that I'm not sure if it makes more
sense to always use memory load to pc kind of branch instead.

This switches cpu_break/watchpoint_* to TAILQ wrappers, simplifying the
code and also fixing a use after release issue in
cpu_break/watchpoint_remove_all.

2bec46dc97 vga optimization (Glauber Costa)
Hypervisors like KVM perform badly while doing mmio on
a loop, because it'll generate an exit on each access.
This is the case with VGA, which results in very bad
performance.

In this patch, we map the linear frame buffer as RAM,
make sure it has dirty region tracking enabled, and then
just let the region to be written.
