The e1000 NIC is getting old and is not a very good default for a
PCIe machine type. Change it to e1000e, which should be supported
by a good number of guests.
In particular, drivers for 82574 were added first to Linux 2.6.27 (2008)
and Windows 2008 R2. This does mean that Windows 2008 will not work
anymore with Q35 machine types and a default "-net nic -net xxx" network
configuration; it did work before because it does have an AHCI driver.
However, Windows 2008 has been declared out of main stream support
in 2015. It will get out of extended support in 2020. Windows 2008
R2 has the same end of support dates and, since the two are basically
Vista vs. Windows 7, R2 probably is more popular.

Currently there is no MMIO range over 4G
reserved for PCI hotplug. Since the 32bit PCI hole
depends on the number of cold-plugged PCI devices
and other factors, it is very possible is too small
to hotplug PCI devices with large BARs.
Fix it by reserving 2G for I4400FX chipset
in order to comply with older Win32 Guest OSes
and 32G for Q35 chipset.
Even if the new defaults of pci-hole64-size will appear in
"info qtree" also for older machines, the property was
not implemented so no changes will be visible to guests.
Note this is a regression since prev QEMU versions had
some range reserved for 64bit PCI hotplug.

Currently when running KVM, we expose "KVMKVMKVM\0\0\0" in
the 0x40000000 CPUID leaf. Other hypervisors (VMWare,
HyperV, Xen, BHyve) all do the same thing, which leaves
TCG as the odd one out.
The CPUID signature is used by software to detect which
virtual environment they are running in and (potentially)
change behaviour in certain ways. For example, systemd
supports a ConditionVirtualization= setting in unit files.
The virt-what command can also report the virt type it is
running on
Currently both these apps have to resort to custom hacks
like looking for 'fw-cfg' entry in the /proc/device-tree
file to identify TCG.
This change thus proposes a signature "TCGTCGTCGTCG" to be
reported when running under TCG.
To hide this, the -cpu option tcg-cpuid=off can be used.

The q35 machine type currently lets the guest firmware select a 1MB, 2MB
or 8MB TSEG (basically, SMRAM) size. In edk2/OVMF, we use 8MB, but even
that is not enough when a lot of VCPUs (more than approx. 224) are
configured -- SMRAM footprint scales largely proportionally with VCPU
count.
Introduce a new property for "mch" called "extended-tseg-mbytes", which
expresses (in megabytes) the user's choice of TSEG (SMRAM) size.
Invent a new, QEMU-specific register in the config space of the DRAM
Controller, at offset 0x50, in order to allow guest firmware to query the
TSEG (SMRAM) size.
According to Intel Document Number 316966-002, Table 5-1 "DRAM Controller
Register Address Map (D0:F0)":
Warning: Address locations that are not listed are considered Intel
Reserved registers locations. Reads to Reserved registers may
return non-zero values. Writes to reserved locations may
cause system failures.
All registers that are defined in the PCI 2.3 specification,
but are not necessary or implemented in this component are
simply not included in this document. The
reserved/unimplemented space in the PCI configuration header
space is not documented as such in this summary.
Offsets 0x50 and 0x51 are not listed in Table 5-1. They are also not part
of the standard PCI config space header. And they precede the capability
list as well, which starts at 0xe0 for this device.
When the guest writes value 0xffff to this register, the value that can be
read back is that of "mch.extended-tseg-mbytes" -- unless it remains
0xffff. The guest is required to write 0xffff first (as opposed to a
read-only register) because PCI config space is generally not cleared on
QEMU reset, and after S3 resume or reboot, new guest firmware running on
old QEMU could read a guest OS-injected value from this register.
After reading the available "extended" TSEG size, the guest firmware may
actually request that TSEG size by writing pattern 11b to the ESMRAMC
register's TSEG_SZ bit-field. (The Intel spec referenced above defines
only patterns 00b (1MB), 01b (2MB) and 10b (8MB); 11b is reserved.)
On the QEMU command line, the value can be set with
-global mch.extended-tseg-mbytes=N
The default value for 2.10+ q35 machine types is 16. The value is limited
to 0xfff (4095) at the moment, purely so that the product (4095 MB) can be
stored to the uint32_t variable "tseg_size" in mch_update_smram(). Users
are responsible for choosing sensible TSEG sizes.
On 2.9 and earlier q35 machine types, the default value is 0. This lets
the 11b bit pattern in ESMRAMC.TSEG_SZ, and the register at offset 0x50,
keep their original behavior.
When "extended-tseg-mbytes" is nonzero, the new register at offset 0x50 is
set to that value on reset, for completeness.
PCI config space is migrated automatically, so no VMSD changes are
necessary.

Since the automatic cpuid-level code was introduced in commit
c39c0edf9b ("target-i386: Automatically
set level/xlevel/xlevel2 when needed"), the CPU model tables just define
the default CPUID level code (set using "min-level"). Setting
"[x]level" forces CPUID level to a specific value and disable the
automatic-level logic.
But the PC compat code was not updated and the existing "[x]level"
compat properties broke compatibility for people using features that
triggered the auto-level code. To keep previous behavior, we should set
"min-[x]level" instead of "[x]level" on compat_props.
This was not a problem for most cases, because old machine-types don't
have full-cpuid-auto-level enabled. The only common use case it broke
was the CPUID[7] auto-level code, that was already enabled since the
first CPUID[7] feature was introduced (in QEMU 1.4.0).
This causes the regression reported at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1454641
Change the PC compat code to use "min-[x]level" instead of "[x]level" on
compat_props, and add new test cases to ensure we don't break this
again.

Since 2.7 commit (b2a575a Add optionrom compatible with fw_cfg DMA version)
regressed migration during firmware exection time by
abusing fwcfg.dma_enabled property to decide loading
dma version of option rom AND by mistake disabling DMA
for 2.6 and earlier globally instead of only for option rom.
so 2.6 machine type guest is broken when it already runs
firmware in DMA mode but migrated to qemu-2.7(pc-2.6)
at that time;
a) qemu-2.6:pc2.6 (fwcfg.dma=on,firmware=dma,oprom=ioport)
b) qemu-2.7:pc2.6 (fwcfg.dma=off,firmware=ioport,oprom=ioport)
to: a b
from
a OK FAIL
b OK OK
So we currently have broken forward migration from
qemu-2.6 to qemu-2.[789] that however could be fixed
for 2.10 by re-enabling DMA for 2.[56] machine types
and allowing dma capable option rom only since 2.7.
As result qemu should end up with:
c) qemu-2.10:pc2.6 (fwcfg.dma=on,firmware=dma,oprom=ioport)
to: a b c
from
a OK FAIL OK
b OK OK OK
c OK FAIL OK
where forward migration from qemu-2.6 to qemu-2.10 should
work again leaving only qemu-2.[789]:pc-2.6 broken.

Migration from a 2.3.0 qemu results in a reboot on the receiving QEMU
due to a disagreement about SM (System management) interrupts.
2.3.0 didn't have much SMI support, but it did set CPU_INTERRUPT_SMI
and this gets into the migration stream, but on 2.3.0 it
never got delivered.
~2.4.0 SMI interrupt support was added but was broken - so
that when a 2.3.0 stream was received it cleared the CPU_INTERRUPT_SMI
but never actually caused an interrupt.
The SMI delivery was recently fixed by 68c6efe07a, but the
effect now is that an incoming 2.3.0 stream takes the interrupt it
had flagged but it's bios can't actually handle it(I think
partly due to the original interrupt not being taken during boot?).
The consequence is a triple(?) fault and a reboot.
Tested from:
2.3.1 -M 2.3.0
2.7.0 -M 2.3.0
2.8.0 -M 2.3.0
2.8.0 -M 2.8.0

Some software algorithms are based on the hardware's cache info, for example,
for x86 linux kernel, when cpu1 want to wakeup a task on cpu2, cpu1 will trigger
a resched IPI and told cpu2 to do the wakeup if they don't share low level
cache. Oppositely, cpu1 will access cpu2's runqueue directly if they share llc.
The relevant linux-kernel code as bellow:
static void ttwu_queue(struct task_struct *p, int cpu)
{
struct rq *rq = cpu_rq(cpu);
......
if (... && !cpus_share_cache(smp_processor_id(), cpu)) {
......
ttwu_queue_remote(p, cpu); /* will trigger RES IPI */
return;
}
......
ttwu_do_activate(rq, p, 0); /* access target's rq directly */
......
}
In real hardware, the cpus on the same socket share L3 cache, so one won't
trigger a resched IPIs when wakeup a task on others. But QEMU doesn't present a
virtual L3 cache info for VM, then the linux guest will trigger lots of RES IPIs
under some workloads even if the virtual cpus belongs to the same virtual socket.
For KVM, there will be lots of vmexit due to guest send IPIs.
The workload is a SAP HANA's testsuite, we run it one round(about 40 minuates)
and observe the (Suse11sp3)Guest's amounts of RES IPIs which triggering during

After present virtual L3 cache info for VM, the amounts of RES IPIs in guest
reduce 85%.
For KVM, vcpus send IPIs will cause vmexit which is expensive, so it can cause
severe performance degradation. We had tested the overall system performance if
vcpus actually run on sparate physical socket. With L3 cache, the performance
improves 7.2%~33.1%(avg:15.7%).

Further cleanup would need to call qemu_free_irq() at the appropriate
time, but for now this silences ASAN about direct leaks.

machine_class_base_init() member name is allocated by
machine_class_base_init(), but not freed by
machine_class_finalize(). Simply freeing there doesn't work,
because DEFINE_PC_MACHINE() overwrites it with a literal string.
Fix DEFINE_PC_MACHINE() not to overwrite it, and add the missing
free to machine_class_finalize().
