e5896b12e2 Introduce log_start/log_stop in CPUPhysMemoryClient
In order to use log_start/log_stop with Xen as well in the vga code,
this two operations have been put in CPUPhysMemoryClient.

The two new functions cpu_physical_log_start,cpu_physical_log_stop are
used in hw/vga.c and replace the kvm_log_start/stop. With this, vga does
no longer depends on kvm header.

8e045ac407 kvm: Remove unneeded memory slot reservation
The number of slots and the location of private ones changed several
times in KVM's early days. However, it's stable since 2.6.29 (our
required baseline), and slots 8..11 are no longer reserved since then.
So remove this unneeded restriction.

6792a57bf1 kvm: Separate TCG from KVM cpu execution
Mixing up TCG bits with KVM already led to problems around eflags
emulation on x86. Moreover, quite some code that TCG requires on cpu
enty/exit is useless for KVM. So dispatch between tcg_cpu_exec and
kvm_cpu_exec as early as possible.

The core logic of cpu_halted from cpu_exec is added to
kvm_arch_process_irqchip_events. Moving away from cpu_exec makes
exception_index meaningless for KVM, we can simply pass the exit reason
directly (only "EXCP_DEBUG vs. rest" is relevant).

cdea50ede1 kvm: Leave kvm_cpu_exec directly after KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN
The reset we issue on KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN implies that we should also

9ccfac9ea4 kvm: Unconditionally reenter kernel after IO exits
KVM requires to reenter the kernel after IO exits in order to complete
instruction emulation. Failing to do so will leave the kernel state
inconsistently behind. To ensure that we will get back ASAP, we issue a
self-signal that will cause KVM_RUN to return once the pending
operations are completed.

We can move kvm_arch_process_irqchip_events out of the inner VCPU loop.
The only state that mattered at its old place was a pending INIT
request. Catch it in kvm_arch_pre_run and also trigger a self-signal to
process the request on next kvm_cpu_exec.

This patch also fixes the missing exit_request check in kvm_cpu_exec in
the CONFIG_IOTHREAD case.

e78815a554 Introduce qemu_madvise()
vl.c has a Sun-specific hack to supply a prototype for madvise(),
but the call site has apparently moved to arch_init.c.

Haiku doesn't implement madvise() in favor of posix_madvise().
OpenBSD and Solaris 10 don't implement posix_madvise() but madvise().
MinGW implements neither.

Check for madvise() and posix_madvise() in configure and supply qemu_madvise()
as wrapper. Prefer madvise() over posix_madvise() due to flag availability.
Convert all callers to use qemu_madvise() and QEMU_MADV_*.

Note that on Solaris the warning is fixed by moving the madvise() prototype,
not by qemu_madvise() itself. It helps with porting though, and it simplifies
most call sites.

v7 -> v8:
* Some versions of MinGW have no sys/mman.h header. Reported by Blue Swirl.

v6 -> v7:
* Adopt madvise() rather than posix_madvise() semantics for returning errors.
* Use EINVAL in place of ENOTSUP.

v5 -> v6:
* Replace two leftover instances of POSIX_MADV_NORMAL with QEMU_MADV_INVALID.
  Spotted by Blue Swirl.

v4 -> v5:
* Introduce QEMU_MADV_INVALID, suggested by Alexander Graf.
  Note that this relies on -1 not being a valid advice value.

v3 -> v4:
* Eliminate #ifdefs at qemu_advise() call sites. Requested by Blue Swirl.
  This will currently break the check in kvm-all.c by calling madvise() with
  a supported flag, which will not fail. Ideas/patches welcome.

v2 -> v3:
* Reuse the *_MADV_* defines for QEMU_MADV_*. Suggested by Alexander Graf.
* Add configure check for madvise(), too.
  Add defines to Makefile, not QEMU_CFLAGS.
  Convert all callers, untested. Suggested by Blue Swirl.
* Keep Solaris' madvise() prototype around. Pointed out by Alexander Graf.
* Display configure check results.

v1 -> v2:
* Don't rely on posix_madvise() availability, add qemu_madvise().
  Suggested by Blue Swirl.

3c638d0690 Rework debug exception processing for gdb use
Guest debugging is currently broken under CONFIG_IOTHREAD. The reason is
inconsistent or even lacking signaling the debug events from the source
VCPU to the main loop and the gdbstub.

This patch addresses the issue by pushing this signaling into a
CPUDebugExcpHandler: cpu_debug_handler is registered as first handler,
thus will be executed last after potential breakpoint emulation
handlers. It sets informs the gdbstub about the debug event source,
requests a debug exit of the main loop and stops the current VCPU. This
mechanism works both for TCG and KVM, with and without IO-thread.

ea375f9ab8 KVM: Rework VCPU state writeback API
This grand cleanup drops all reset and vmsave/load related
synchronization points in favor of four(!) generic hooks:

- cpu_synchronize_all_states in qemu_savevm_state_complete
  (initial sync from kernel before vmsave)
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in qemu_loadvm_state
  (writeback after vmload)
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_init in main after machine init
- cpu_synchronize_all_post_reset in qemu_system_reset
  (writeback after system reset)

These writeback points + the existing one of VCPU exec after
cpu_synchronize_state map on three levels of writeback:

- KVM_PUT_RUNTIME_STATE (during runtime, other VCPUs continue to run)
- KVM_PUT_RESET_STATE   (on synchronous system reset, all VCPUs stopped)
- KVM_PUT_FULL_STATE    (on init or vmload, all VCPUs stopped as well)

This level is passed to the arch-specific VCPU state writing function
that will decide which concrete substates need to be written. That way,
no writer of load, save or reset functions that interact with in-kernel
KVM states will ever have to worry about synchronization again. That
also means that a lot of reasons for races, segfaults and deadlocks are
eliminated.

cpu_synchronize_state remains untouched, just as Anthony suggested. We
continue to need it before reading or writing of VCPU states that are
also tracked by in-kernel KVM subsystems.

Consequently, this patch removes many cpu_synchronize_state calls that
are now redundant, just like remaining explicit register syncs.

b0b1d69079 KVM: Rework of guest debug state writing
So far we synchronized any dirty VCPU state back into the kernel before
updating the guest debug state. This was a tribute to a deficite in x86
kernels before 2.6.33. But as this is an arch-dependent issue, it is
better handle in the x86 part of KVM and remove the writeback point for
generic code. This also avoids overwriting the flushed state later on if
user space decides to change some more registers before resuming the
guest.

We furthermore need to reinject guest exceptions via the appropriate
mechanism. That is KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG for older kernels and
KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS for recent ones. Using both mechanisms at the same
time will cause state corruptions.

cc84de9570 kvm: consume internal signal with sigtimedwait
Change the way the internal qemu signal, used for communication between
iothread and vcpus, is handled.

Block and consume it with sigtimedwait on the outer vcpu loop, which
allows more precise timing control.

Change from standard signal (SIGUSR1) to real-time one, so multiple
signals are not collapsed.

Set the signal number on KVM's in-kernel allowed sigmask.
