6b620ca3b0 prepare for future GPLv2+ relicensing
All files under GPLv2 will get GPLv2+ changes starting tomorrow.
event_notifier.c and exec-obsolete.h were only ever touched by Red Hat
employees and can be relicensed now.

7f84c1272b compatfd.c: Don't pass NULL pointer to SYS_signalfd
Don't pass a NULL pointer in to SYS_signalfd in qemu_signalfd_available():
this isn't valid and Valgrind complains about it.

d25f89c9e9 Register Linux dyntick timer as per-thread signal
Derived from kvm-tool patch
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/74309

Ingo Molnar pointed out that sending the timer signal to the whole
process, just blocking it everywhere, is suboptimal with an increasing
number of threads. QEMU is also using this pattern so far.

Linux provides a (non-portable) way to restrict the signal to a single
thread: We can use SIGEV_THREAD_ID unless we are forced to emulate
signalfd via an additional thread. That case could theoretically be
optimized as well, but it doesn't look worth bothering.

09716e45a0 sigfd: use pthread_sigmask
Qemu uses signalfd to figure out, if a signal occured without the need
to actually receive the signal. Instead, it can read from the fd to receive
its news.

Now, we obviously don't always have signalfd around. Especially not on
non-Linux systems. So what we do there is that we create a new thread,
block that thread on all signals and simply call sigwait to wait for a
signal we're interested in to occur.

This all sounds great, but what we're really doing is:

    sigset_t all;

    sigfillset(&all);
    sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &all, NULL);

which - on Darwin - blocks all signals on the current _process_, not only
on the current thread. To block signals on the thread, we can use
pthread_sigmask().

This patch does that, assuming that my above analysis is correct, and thus
renders Qemu useable on Darwin again.

    Use signalfd() in io-thread

    This patch reworks the IO thread to use signalfd() instead of sigtimedwait()
    This will eliminate the need to use SIGIO everywhere.

9e472e101f Fix IO performance regression in sparc
Replace signalfd with signal handler/pipe.  There is no way to interrupt
the CPU execution loop when a file descriptor becomes readable.  This
results in a large performance regression in sparc emulation during
bootup.
   
This patch switches us to signal handler/pipe which was originally
suggested by Ian Jackson.  The signal handler lets us interrupt the
CPU emulation loop while the write to a pipe lets us avoid the
select/signal race condition.

27463101f1 Make compatfd fallback more robust
Be more friendly when signalfd() fails, and also add configure checks to detect
that syscall(SYS_signalfd) actually works.  malc pointed out that some installs
do not have /usr/include/linux headers that are in sync with the glibc headers
so why SYS_signalfd is defined, it's #defined to _NR_signalfd which is not
defined in the /usr/include/linux header.

While this is a distro bug, it doesn't hurt to do a more thorough job in
detection.
