Enabling the I/O thread by default seems like an important part of declaring
1.0. Besides allowing true SMP support with KVM, the I/O thread means that the
TCG VCPU doesn't have to multiplex itself with the I/O dispatch routines which
currently requires a (racey) signal based alarm system.
I know there have been concerns about performance. I think so far the ones that
have come up (virtio-net) are most likely due to secondary reasons like
decreased batching.
I think we ought to force enabling I/O thread early in 1.0 development and
commit to resolving any lingering issues.

On PPC, the default PAGE_SIZE is 64kb. Unfortunately, the hardware
alignments don't match here: There are RAM and MMIO regions within
a single page when it's 64kb in size.
So the only way out for now is to tell the user that he should use 4k
PAGE_SIZE.
This patch gives the user a hint on that, telling him that failing to
register a prefix slot is most likely to be caused by mismatching PAGE_SIZE.
This way it's also more future-proof, as bigger PAGE_SIZE can easily be
supported by other machines then, as long as they stick to 64kb granularities.

This change fixes a long-standing immediate crash (memory corruption
and abort in glibc malloc code) in migration on 32bits.

qemu-kvm: allocate correct size for dirty bitmap
The dirty bitmap copied out to userspace is stored in a long array,
and gets copied out to userspace accordingly. This patch accounts
for that correctly. Currently I'm seeing kvm crashing due to writing
beyond the end of the alloc'd dirty bitmap memory, because the buffer
has the wrong size.

@@ int kvm_get_dirty_pages_range(kvm_context_t kvm, unsigned long phys_addr,
- buf = qemu_malloc((slots[i].len / 4096 + 7) / 8 + 2);
+ buf = qemu_malloc(BITMAP_SIZE(slots[i].len));
r = kvm_get_map(kvm, KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG, i, buf);
BITMAP_SIZE is now open-coded in that function, like this:
size = ALIGN(((mem->memory_size) >> TARGET_PAGE_BITS), HOST_LONG_BITS) / 8;
The problem is that HOST_LONG_BITS in 32bit userspace is 32
but it's 64 in 64bit kernel. So userspace aligns this to
32, and kernel to 64, but since no length is passed from
userspace to kernel on ioctl, kernel uses its size calculation
and copies 4 extra bytes to userspace, corrupting memory.
Here's how it looks like during migrate execution:
our=20, kern=24
our=4, kern=8
...
our=4, kern=8
our=4064, kern=4064
our=512, kern=512
our=4, kern=8
our=20, kern=24
our=4, kern=8
...
our=4, kern=8
our=4064, kern=4064
*** glibc detected *** ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x08f20528 ***
(our is userspace size above, kern is the size as calculated
by the kernel).
Fix this by always aligning to 64 in a hope that no platform will
have sizeof(long)>8 any time soon, and add a comment describing it
all. It's a small price to pay for bad kernel design.
Alternatively it's possible to fix that in the kernel by using
different size calculation depending on the current process.
But this becomes quite ugly.
Special thanks goes to Stefan Hajnoczi for spotting the fundamental
cause of the issue, and to Alexander Graf for his support in #qemu.

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).

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.

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
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
