KVM does not let you read or write this MSR if the corresponding CPUID
bit is not set. This in turn causes MSRs that come after MSR_TSC_AUX
to be ignored by KVM_SET_MSRS.
One visible symptom is that s3.flat from kvm-unit-tests fails with
CPUs that do not have RDTSCP, because the SMBASE is not reset to
0x30000 after reset.

This patch add "query-gic-capabilities" but does not implement it. The
command is ARM-only. The command will return a list of GICCapability
structs that describes all GIC versions that current QEMU and system
support.
Libvirt is possibly the first consumer of this new command.
Before this patch, a libvirt user can successfully configure all kinds
of GIC devices for ARM guests, no matter whether current QEMU/kernel
supports them. If the specified GIC version/type is not supported, the
user will get an ambiguous "QEMU boot failure" error when trying to start
the VM. This is not user-friendly.
With this patch, libvirt should be able to query which type (and which
version) of GIC device is supported. Using this information, libvirt
can warn the user during configuration of guests when specified GIC
device type is not supported. Or better, we can just list those versions
that we support, and filter out the unsupported ones.
For example, if we got the query result:
{"return": [{"emulated": false, "version": 3, "kernel": true},
{"emulated": true, "version": 2, "kernel": false}]}
then it means that we support emulated GIC version 2 using:
qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt,accel=tcg,gic-version=2 ...
or KVM-accelerated GIC version 3 using:
qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt,accel=kvm,gic-version=3 ...
If we specify other explicit GIC versions rather than the above, QEMU
will not be able to boot.
The community is working on a more generic way to query these kinds of
information about valid values of machine properties. However, due to
the importance of supporting this specific use case, weecided to first
implement this ad-hoc one; then when the generic method is ready, we
can move on to that one smoothly.

When passing -S 0 to qemu-img convert, the target image is supposed to
be fully allocated. Right now, this is not the case if the source image
contains areas which bdrv_get_block_status() reports as being zero.
This patch changes a zeroed area's status from BLK_ZERO to BLK_DATA
before invoking convert_write() if -S 0 has been specified. In addition,
the check whether convert_read() actually needs to do anything
(basically only if the current area is a BLK_DATA area) is pulled out of
that function to the caller.
If -S 0 has been specified, zeroed areas need to be written as data to
the output, thus they then have to be accounted when calculating the
progress made.
This patch changes the reference output for iotest 122; contrary to what
it assumed, -S 0 really should allocate everything in the output, not
just areas that are filled with zeros (as opposed to being zeroed).

The only remaining users were block jobs (mirror and backup) which

The previous patches have successively made blk->enable_write_cache the
true source for the information whether a writethrough mode must be
implemented. The corresponding BDRV_O_CACHE_WB is only useless baggage
we're carrying around, so now's the time to remove it.
At the same time, we remove the 'cache.writeback' option parsing on the
BDS level as the only effect was setting the BDRV_O_CACHE_WB flag.
This change requires test cases that explicitly enabled the option to
drop it. Other than that and the change of the error message when
writethrough is enabled on the BDS level (from "Can't set writethrough
mode" to "doesn't support the option"), there should be no change in
behaviour.

Pass through the FUA flag to the lower layer so that the separate flush

Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>
Reviewed-by: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>
The NBD server already used to send a FUA flag when the writethrough
mode was set. This code was a remnant from the times where protocol
drivers actually had to implement writethrough modes. Since nowadays the
block layer sends flushes in writethrough mode and non-root nodes are
always writeback, this was mostly dead code - only mostly because if NBD
was configured to be used without a format, we sent _both_ FUA and an
explicit flush afterwards, which makes the code not technically dead,
but useless overhead.
This patch changes the code so that the block layer's FUA flag is
recognised and translated into a NBD FUA flag. The additional flush is
avoided now.

Now that WCE is handled on the BlockBackend level, the flag is
meaningless for BDSes. As the schema requires us to fill the field,
we return an enabled write cache for them.
Note that this means that querying the BlockBackend name may return
writethrough as the cache information, whereas querying the node-name of
the root of that same BlockBackend will return writeback.
This may appear odd at first, but it actually makes sense because it
correctly repesents the layer that implements the WCE handling. This
becomes more apparent when you consider nodes that are the root node of
multiple BlockBackends, where each BB can have its own WCE setting.
Signed-off-by: Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>

Whether a write cache is used or not is a decision that concerns the
user (e.g. the guest device) rather than the backend. It was already
logically part of the BB level as bdrv_move_feature_fields() always kept
it on top of the BDS tree; with this patch, the core of it (the actual
flag and the additional flushes) is also implemented there.
Direct callers of bdrv_open() must pass BDRV_O_CACHE_WB now if bs
doesn't have a BlockBackend attached.

We don't want to silently ignore a flush error.

All callers of blk_new_open() either don't rely on the WCE bit set after
blk_new_open() because they explicitly set it anyway, or they pass
BDRV_O_CACHE_WB unconditionally.
This patch changes blk_new_open() so that it always enables writeback
mode and asserts that BDRV_O_CACHE_WB is clear. For those callers that
used to pass BDRV_O_CACHE_WB unconditionally, the flag is removed now.
