QEMU initializes preallocated backend memory as the objects are parsed from
the command line. This is not optimal in some cases (e.g. memory spanning
multiple NUMA nodes) because the memory objects are initialized in series.
Allow the initialization to occur in parallel (asynchronously). In order to
ensure optimal thread placement, asynchronous initialization requires prealloc
context threads to be in use.

Setting the CPU affinity of QEMU threads is a bit problematic, because
QEMU doesn't always have permissions to set the CPU affinity itself,
for example, with seccomp after initialized by QEMU:
-sandbox enable=on,resourcecontrol=deny
General information about CPU affinities can be found in the man page of
taskset:
CPU affinity is a scheduler property that "bonds" a process to a given
set of CPUs on the system. The Linux scheduler will honor the given CPU
affinity and the process will not run on any other CPUs.
While upper layers are already aware of how to handle CPU affinities for
long-lived threads like iothreads or vcpu threads, especially short-lived
threads, as used for memory-backend preallocation, are more involved to
handle. These threads are created on demand and upper layers are not even
able to identify and configure them.
Introduce the concept of a ThreadContext, that is essentially a thread
used for creating new threads. All threads created via that context
thread inherit the configured CPU affinity. Consequently, it's
sufficient to create a ThreadContext and configure it once, and have all
threads created via that ThreadContext inherit the same CPU affinity.
The CPU affinity of a ThreadContext can be configured two ways:
(1) Obtaining the thread id via the "thread-id" property and setting the
CPU affinity manually (e.g., via taskset).
(2) Setting the "cpu-affinity" property and letting QEMU try set the
CPU affinity itself. This will fail if QEMU doesn't have permissions
to do so anymore after seccomp was initialized.
A simple QEMU example to set the CPU affinity to host CPU 0,1,6,7 would be:
qemu-system-x86_64 -S \
-object thread-context,id=tc1,cpu-affinity=0-1,cpu-affinity=6-7
And we can query it via HMP/QMP:
(qemu) qom-get tc1 cpu-affinity
[
0,
1,
6,
7
]
But note that due to dynamic library loading this example will not work
before we actually make use of thread_context_create_thread() in QEMU
code, because the type will otherwise not get registered. We'll wire
this up next to make it work.
In general, the interface behaves like pthread_setaffinity_np(): host
CPU numbers that are currently not available are ignored; only host CPU
numbers that are impossible with the current kernel will fail. If the
list of host CPU numbers does not include a single CPU that is
available, setting the CPU affinity will fail.
A ThreadContext can be reused, simply by reconfiguring the CPU affinity.
Note that the CPU affinity of previously created threads will not get
adjusted.

Currently qemu_try_memalign()'s behaviour if asked to allocate
0 bytes is rather variable:
* on Windows, we will assert
* on POSIX platforms, we get the underlying behaviour of
the posix_memalign() or equivalent function, which may be
either "return a valid non-NULL pointer" or "return NULL"
Explictly check for 0 byte allocations, so we get consistent
behaviour across platforms. We handle them by incrementing the size
so that we return a valid non-NULL pointer that can later be passed
to qemu_vfree(). This is permitted behaviour for the
posix_memalign() API and is the most usual way that underlying
malloc() etc implementations handle a zero-sized allocation request,
because it won't trip up calling code that assumes NULL means an
error. (This includes our own qemu_memalign(), which will abort on
NULL.)
This change is a preparation for sharing the qemu_try_memalign() code
between Windows and POSIX.

We implement qemu_memalign() in both oslib-posix.c and oslib-win32.c,
but the two versions are essentially the same: they call
qemu_try_memalign(), and abort() after printing an error message if
it fails. The only difference is that the win32 version prints the
GetLastError() value whereas the POSIX version prints
strerror(errno). However, this is a bug in the win32 version: in
commit dfbd0b873a in 2020 we changed the implementation of
qemu_try_memalign() from using VirtualAlloc() (which sets the
GetLastError() value) to using _aligned_malloc() (which sets errno),
but didn't update the error message to match.
Replace the two separate functions with a single version in a
new memalign.c file, which drops the unnecessary extra qemu_oom_check()
function and instead prints a more useful message including the
requested size and alignment as well as the errno string.

Let's sense support and use it for preallocation. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
does not require a SIGBUS handler, doesn't actually touch page content,
and avoids context switches; it is, therefore, faster and easier to handle
than our current approach.
While MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is, in general, faster than manual
prefaulting, and especially faster with 4k pages, there is still value in
prefaulting using multiple threads to speed up preallocation.
More details on MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be found in the Linux commits
4ca9b3859dac ("mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault
page tables") and eb2faa513c24 ("mm/madvise: report SIGBUS as -EFAULT for
MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE)"), and in the man page proposal [1].
This resolves the TODO in do_touch_pages().
In the future, we might want to look into using fallocate(), eventually
combined with MADV_POPULATE_READ, when dealing with shared file/fd
mappings and not caring about memory bindings.

defined for some systems and we want to always be able to identify
these flags reliably inside qemu_ram_mmap() -- for example, to properly
warn when some future flags are not available or effective on a system.
Also, this way we can simplify PROT_ handling as well.

OpenBSD prior to 6.3 required a workaround to utilize fcntl(F_SETFL) on memory
devices.
Since modern verions of OpenBSD that are only officialy supported and buildable
on do not have this issue I am garbage collecting this workaround.

Allow RAM MemoryRegion to be created from an offset in a file, instead
of allocating at offset of 0 by default. This is needed to synchronize
RAM between QEMU & remote process.

There is currently no way to open(O_RDONLY) and mmap(PROT_READ) when
creating a memory region from a file. This functionality is needed since
the underlying host file may not allow writing.
Add a bool readonly argument to memory_region_init_ram_from_file() and
the APIs it calls.
Extend memory_region_init_ram_from_file() rather than introducing a
memory_region_init_rom_from_file() API so that callers can easily make a
choice between read/write and read-only at runtime without calling
different APIs.
No new RAMBlock flag is introduced for read-only because it's unclear
whether RAMBlocks need to know that they are read-only. Pass a bool
readonly argument instead.
Both of these design decisions can be changed in the future. It just
seemed like the simplest approach to me.

qemu_try_memalign() expects a power of 2 alignment:
- posix_memalign(3):
The address of the allocated memory will be a multiple of alignment,
which must be a power of two and a multiple of sizeof(void *).
- _aligned_malloc()
The alignment value, which must be an integer power of 2.

LLVM/Clang, supports runtime checks for forward-edge Control-Flow
Integrity (CFI).
CFI on indirect function calls (cfi-icall) ensures that, in indirect
function calls, the function called is of the right signature for the
pointer type defined at compile time.
For this check to work, the code must always respect the function
signature when using function pointer, the function must be defined
at compile time, and be compiled with link-time optimization.
This rules out, for example, shared libraries that are dynamically loaded
(given that functions are not known at compile time), and code that is
dynamically generated at run-time.
This patch:
1) Introduces the CONFIG_CFI flag to support cfi in QEMU
2) Introduces a decorator to allow the definition of "sensitive"
functions, where a non-instrumented function may be called at runtime
through a pointer. The decorator will take care of disabling cfi-icall
checks on such functions, when cfi is enabled.
3) Marks functions currently in QEMU that exhibit such behavior,
in particular:
- The function in TCG that calls pre-compiled TBs
- The function in TCI that interprets instructions
- Functions in the plugin infrastructures that jump to callbacks
- Functions in util that directly call a signal handler

If the exec_dir cannot be retrieved, just assume it's the installation
directory that was specified at configure time. This makes it simpler
to reason about what the callers will do if they get back an empty
path.
