Now that iothread is always compiled sending a signal seems only an
additional step. This patch also avoid writing to two pipe (one from signal
and one in qemu_service_io).
Work with kvm enabled or disabled. strace output is more readable (less syscalls).

Currently, only vm_start() and vm_stop() change the VM state.
That's, the state is only changed when starting or stopping the VM.
This commit adds the runstate_set() function, which makes it possible
to also do state transitions when the VM is stopped or running.
Additional states are also added and the current state is stored.
Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>
Today, when notifying a VM state change with vm_state_notify(),
we pass a VMSTOP macro as the 'reason' argument. This is not ideal
because the VMSTOP macros tell why qemu stopped and not exactly
what the current VM state is.
One example to demonstrate this problem is that vm_start() calls
vm_state_notify() with reason=0, which turns out to be VMSTOP_USER.
This commit fixes that by replacing the VMSTOP macros with a proper
state type called RunState.

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.

We can express the VCPU thread wakeup with the stop mechanism, saving
both qemu_system_ready and the qemu_system_cond. For KVM threads, we can
just enter the main loop as long as the thread is stopped. The central
TCG thread is better held back before the loop as there can be side
effects of the services called even when all CPUs are stopped.
Creating VCPUs in stopped state will also be required for proper CPU
hotplugging support.

In TCG mode, iothread and vcpus run in lock-step. So it's pointless to
send a signal from qemu_cpu_kick to the vcpu thread - if we got here,
the receiver already left the vcpu loop.

This conveys the intention better, and scales to more than >1
threads contending the mutex with the iothread (as long as all
of them have a "quiescent point" like the TCG thread has).
Also, on Mac OS X the fair_mutex somehow didn't work as intended

Both the signal thread (via sigwait()) and the cpu thread (via
a normal signal handler) were attempting to catch SIG_IPI.
This resulted in random freezes under Darwin.
This patch separates SIG_IPI from the rest of the signals handled
by the signal thread, because it is independently caught by the cpu
thread.

Changes since v1:
- take pthread_sigmask() out of the ifdef as it is now common
to both parts.
This fix effectively blocks, in the main thread, the signals handled
by signalfd or the compatibility signal thread.
This way, such signals are received synchronously in the main thread
through sigfd_handler() instead of triggering the signal handler
directly, asynchronously.

The previous patch however is not enough, because if the virtual CPU
goes to sleep waiting for a future timer interrupt to wake it up, qemu
deadlocks. The timer interrupt never comes because time is driven by
icount, but the vCPU doesn't run any insns.
You could say that VCPUs should never go to sleep in icount
mode if there is a pending vm_clock timer; rather time should
just warp to the next vm_clock event with no sleep ever taking place.
Even better, you can sleep for some time related to the
time left until the next event, to avoid that the warps are too visible
externally; for example, you could be sending network packets continously
instead of every 100ms.
This is what this patch implements. qemu_clock_warp is called: 1)
whenever a vm_clock timer is adjusted, to ensure the warp_timer is
synchronized; 2) at strategic points in the CPU thread, to make sure
the insn counter is synchronized before the CPU starts running.
In any case, the warp_timer is disabled while the CPU is running,
because the insn counter will then be making progress on its own.

The correct fix for -icount is to consider the biggest difference
between iothread and non-iothread modes. In the traditional model,
CPUs run _before_ the iothread calls select (or WaitForMultipleObjects
for Win32). In the iothread model, CPUs run while the iothread
isn't holding the mutex, i.e. _during_ those same calls.
So, the iothread should always block as long as possible to let
the CPUs run smoothly---the timeout might as well be infinite---and
either the OS or the CPU thread itself will let the iothread know
when something happens. At this point, the iothread wakes up and
interrupts the CPU.
This is exactly the approach that this patch takes: when cpu_exec_all
returns in -icount mode, and it is because a vm_clock deadline has
been met, it wakes up the iothread to process the timers. This is
really the "bulk" of fixing icount.

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).

To prepare splitting up KVM and TCG CPU entry/exit, move the debug
exception into cpus.c and invoke cpu_handle_debug_exception on return
from qemu_cpu_exec.
This also allows to clean up the debug request signaling: We can assign
the job of informing main-loop to qemu_system_debug_request and stop the
calling cpu directly in cpu_handle_debug_exception. That means a debug
stop will now only be signaled via debug_requested and not additionally
via vmstop_requested.
