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().

This patch addresses the issue by pushing this signaling into a

thus will be executed last after potential breakpoint emulation

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.

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.

The default action of coalesced MMIO is, cache the writing in buffer, until:
1. The buffer is full.
2. Or the exit to QEmu due to other reasons.
But this would result in a very late writing in some condition.
1. The each time write to MMIO content is small.
2. The writing interval is big.
3. No need for input or accessing other devices frequently.
This issue was observed in a experimental embbed system. The test image
simply print "test" every 1 seconds. The output in QEmu meets expectation,
but the output in KVM is delayed for seconds.
Per Avi's suggestion, I hooked flushing coalesced MMIO buffer in VGA update

We currently use host endian long types to store information
in the dirty bitmap.
This works reasonably well on Little Endian targets, because the
u32 after the first contains the next 32 bits. On Big Endian this
breaks completely though, forcing us to be inventive here.
So Ben suggested to always use Little Endian, which looks reasonable.
We only have dirty bitmap implemented in Little Endian targets so far
and since PowerPC would be the first Big Endian platform, we can just
as well switch to Little Endian always with little effort without
breaking existing targets.

Dirty logs currently get written with native "long" size. On little endian
it doesn't matter if we use uint64_t instead though, because we'd still end
up using the right bytes.
On big endian, this does become a bigger problem, so we need to ensure that
kernel and userspace talk the same language, which means getting rid of "long"
and using a defined size instead.
So I decided to use 64 bit types at all times. This doesn't break existing
targets but will in conjunction with a patch I'll send to the KVM ML make

We could actually handle all possible ones without failing, but a KVM

larger slots that overlap also deleted ones). To remain backward

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

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.

Currently on x86, qemu initializes CPUState but KVM ignores it and does its
own vcpu initialization. However, PowerPC KVM needs to be able to set the
initial register state to support the -kernel and -append options.

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.

Prior to kvm-80, memory slot deletion was broken in the KVM kernel
modules. In kvm-81, a new capability is introduced to signify that this
problem has been fixed.
Since we rely on being able to delete memory slots, refuse to work with
any kernel module that does not have this capability present.

This adds a VirtIO based balloon driver. It uses madvise() to actually balloon
the memory when possible.
Until 2.6.27, KVM forced memory pinning so we must disable ballooning unless the
kernel actually supports it when using KVM. It's always safe when using TCG.

Introduce functions to control logging of memory regions.
We select regions based on its start address, a
guest_physical_addr (target_phys_addr_t, in qemu nomenclature).
The main user of this interface right now is VGA optimization
(a way of reducing the number of mmio exits).

struct kvm_userspace_memory_region does not use QEMU friendly types to
define memory slots. This results in lots of ugly casting with warnings
on 32-bit platforms.
This patch introduces a proper KVMSlot structure that uses QEMU types to
describe memory slots. This eliminates many of the casts and isolates
the type conversions to one spot.

KVM keeps track of physical memory based on slots in the kernel. The current
code that translates QEMU memory mappings to slots work but is not robust
in the fact of reregistering partial regions of memory.
This patch does the right thing for reregistering partial regions of memory. It
also prevents QEMU from using KVM private slots.

The third argument to ioctl is a ... which allows any value to be passed. In
practice, glibc always treats the argument as a void *.
Do the same thing for the kvm ioctls to keep things consistent with a
