All callers now pass is_external=false to aio_set_fd_handler() and
aio_set_event_notifier(). The aio_disable_external() API that
temporarily disables fd handlers that were registered is_external=true
is therefore dead code.
Remove aio_disable_external(), aio_enable_external(), and the
is_external arguments to aio_set_fd_handler() and
aio_set_event_notifier().
The entire test-fdmon-epoll test is removed because its sole purpose was
testing aio_disable_external().

Until now, a win32 SOCKET handle is often cast to an int file
descriptor, as this is what other OS use for sockets. When necessary,
QEMU eventually queries whether it's a socket with the help of
fd_is_socket(). However, there is no guarantee of conflict between the
fd and SOCKET space. Such conflict would have surprising consequences,
we shouldn't mix them.
Also, it is often forgotten that SOCKET must be closed with
closesocket(), and not close().
Instead, let's make the win32 socket wrapper functions return and take a
file descriptor, and let util/ wrappers do the fd/SOCKET conversion as
necessary. A bit of adaptation is necessary in io/ as well.
Unfortunately, we can't drop closesocket() usage, despite
_open_osfhandle() documentation claiming transfer of ownership, testing
shows bad behaviour if you forget to call closesocket().

Adaptive polling measures the execution time of the polling check plus
handlers called when a polled event becomes ready. Handlers can take a
significant amount of time, making it look like polling was running for
a long time when in fact the event handler was running for a long time.
For example, on Linux the io_submit(2) syscall invoked when a virtio-blk
device's virtqueue becomes ready can take 10s of microseconds. This
can exceed the default polling interval (32 microseconds) and cause
adaptive polling to stop polling.
By excluding the handler's execution time from the polling check we make
the adaptive polling calculation more accurate. As a result, the event
loop now stays in polling mode where previously it would have fallen
back to file descriptor monitoring.
The following data was collected with virtio-blk num-queues=2
event_idx=off using an IOThread. Before:
168k IOPS, IOThread syscalls:
9837.115 ( 0.020 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 16, iocbpp: 0x7fcb9f937db0) = 16
9837.158 ( 0.002 ms): IO iothread1/620155 write(fd: 103, buf: 0x556a2ef71b88, count: 8) = 8
9837.161 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 write(fd: 104, buf: 0x556a2ef71b88, count: 8) = 8
9837.163 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 ppoll(ufds: 0x7fcb90002800, nfds: 4, tsp: 0x7fcb9f1342d0, sigsetsize: 8) = 3
9837.164 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 107, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8
9837.174 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 105, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8
9837.176 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/620155 read(fd: 106, buf: 0x7fcb9f939cc0, count: 512) = 8
9837.209 ( 0.035 ms): IO iothread1/620155 io_submit(ctx_id: 140512552468480, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fca7d0cebe0) = 32
174k IOPS (+3.6%), IOThread syscalls:
9809.566 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0cdd62be0) = 32
9809.625 ( 0.001 ms): IO iothread1/623061 write(fd: 103, buf: 0x5647cfba5f58, count: 8) = 8
9809.627 ( 0.002 ms): IO iothread1/623061 write(fd: 104, buf: 0x5647cfba5f58, count: 8) = 8
9809.663 ( 0.036 ms): IO iothread1/623061 io_submit(ctx_id: 140539805028352, nr: 32, iocbpp: 0x7fd0d0388b50) = 32
Notice that ppoll(2) and eventfd read(2) syscalls are eliminated because
the IOThread stays in polling mode instead of falling back to file
descriptor monitoring.
As usual, polling is not implemented on Windows so this patch ignores
the new io_poll_read() callback in aio-win32.c.

The `aio-max-batch` parameter will be propagated to AIO engines
and it will be used to control the maximum number of queued requests.
When there are in queue a number of requests equal to `aio-max-batch`,
the engine invokes the system call to forward the requests to the kernel.
This parameter allows us to control the maximum batch size to reduce
the latency that requests might accumulate while queued in the AIO
engine queue.
If `aio-max-batch` is equal to 0 (default value), the AIO engine will
use its default maximum batch size value.

clang's C11 atomic_fetch_*() functions only take a C11 atomic type
pointer argument. QEMU uses direct types (int, etc) and this causes a
compiler error when a QEMU code calls these functions in a source file
that also included <stdatomic.h> via a system header file:
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure ... && make
../util/async.c:79:17: error: address argument to atomic operation must be a pointer to _Atomic type ('unsigned int *' invalid)
Avoid using atomic_*() names in QEMU's atomic.h since that namespace is
used by <stdatomic.h>. Prefix QEMU's APIs with 'q' so that atomic.h
and <stdatomic.h> can co-exist. I checked /usr/include on my machine and
searched GitHub for existing "qatomic_" users but there seem to be none.
This patch was generated using:
$ git grep -h -o '\<atomic\(64\)\?_[a-z0-9_]\+' include/qemu/atomic.h | \
sort -u >/tmp/changed_identifiers
$ for identifier in $(</tmp/changed_identifiers); do
sed -i "s%\<$identifier\>%q$identifier%g" \
$(git grep -I -l "\<$identifier\>")
done

The glib event loop does not call fdmon_io_uring_wait() so fd handlers
waiting to be submitted build up in the list. There is no benefit is
using io_uring when the glib GSource is being used, so disable it
instead of implementing a more complex fix.
This fixes a memory leak where AioHandlers would build up and increasing
amounts of CPU time were spent iterating them in aio_pending(). The
symptom is that guests become slow when QEMU is built with io_uring
support.

When using C11 atomics, non-seqcst reads and writes do not participate
in the total order of seqcst operations. In util/async.c and util/aio-posix.c,
in particular, the pattern that we use
write ctx->notify_me write bh->scheduled
read bh->scheduled read ctx->notify_me
if !bh->scheduled, sleep if ctx->notify_me, notify
needs to use seqcst operations for both the write and the read. In
general this is something that we do not want, because there can be
many sources that are polled in addition to bottom halves. The
alternative is to place a seqcst memory barrier between the write
and the read. This also comes with a disadvantage, in that the
memory barrier is implicit on strongly-ordered architectures and
it wastes a few dozen clock cycles.
Fortunately, ctx->notify_me is never written concurrently by two
threads, so we can assert that and relax the writes to ctx->notify_me.
The resulting solution works and performs well on both aarch64 and x86.
Note that the atomic_set/atomic_read combination is not an atomic
read-modify-write, and therefore it is even weaker than C11 ATOMIC_RELAXED;
on x86, ATOMIC_RELAXED compiles to a locked operation.

An aio_notify() pairs with an aio_notify_accept(). The former should
happen in the main thread or a vCPU thread, and the latter should be
done in the IOThread.
There is one rare case that the main thread or vCPU thread may "steal"
the aio_notify() event just raised by itself, in bdrv_set_aio_context()
[1]. The sequence is like this:
main thread IO Thread
===============================================================
bdrv_drained_begin()
aio_disable_external(ctx)
aio_poll(ctx, true)
ctx->notify_me += 2
...
bdrv_drained_end()
...
aio_notify()
...
bdrv_set_aio_context()
aio_poll(ctx, false)
[1] aio_notify_accept(ctx)
ppoll() /* Hang! */
[1] is problematic. It will clear the ctx->notifier event so that
the blocked ppoll() will not return.
(For the curious, this bug was noticed when booting a number of VMs
simultaneously in RHV. One or two of the VMs will hit this race
condition, making the VIRTIO device unresponsive to I/O commands. When
it hangs, Seabios is busy waiting for a read request to complete (read
MBR), right after initializing the virtio-blk-pci device, using 100%
guest CPU. See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1562750
for the original bug analysis.)
aio_notify() only injects an event when ctx->notify_me is set,
correspondingly aio_notify_accept() is only useful when ctx->notify_me
_was_ set. Move the call to it into the "blocking" branch. This will
effectively skip [1] and fix the hang.
Furthermore, blocking aio_poll is only allowed on home thread
(in_aio_context_home_thread), because otherwise two blocking
aio_poll()'s can steal each other's ctx->notifier event and cause
hanging just like described above.

AioContext is fairly self contained, the only dependency is QEMUTimer but
that in turn doesn't need anything else. So move them out of block-obj-y

main-loop and its dependency iohandler also need to be moved, because
later in this series io/ will call iohandler_get_aio_context.
