Call MADV_MERGEABLE on guest memory allocations. MADV_MERGABLE will be
available starting in Linux 2.6.32. This system call registers a region of
virtual address space with Linux as a candidate for transparent memory
sharing.

In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input
and cope with it.

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc923584,
f40d753718,
96555a96d7 and
3990d09adf but the fixes were fragile.
Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

cpu_synchronize_state() is a little unreadable since the 'modified'
argument isn't self-explanatory. Simplify it by making it always
synchronize the kernel state into qemu, and automatically flush the
registers back to the kernel if they've been synchronized on this
exit.

kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.
Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.
kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.
N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.
Paul, please Ack or Nack this patch.

On Win32 the setvbuf function requires the last parameter to be size between 2 and INT_MAX bytes, so the calls always failed. Since the whole point of the calls is to set line-buffered mode for the file handle and that's not supported on Win32 anyway, conditionally remove them.

When debugging multi-threaded programs, QEMU's gdb stub would report the
correct number of threads (the qfThreadInfo and qsThreadInfo packets).
However, the stub was unable to actually switch between threads (the T
packet), since it would report every thread except the first as being
dead. Furthermore, the stub relied upon cpu_index as a reliable means
of assigning IDs to the threads. This was a bad idea; if you have this
sequence of events:
initial thread created
new thread #1
new thread #2
thread #1 exits
new thread #3
thread #3 will have the same cpu_index as thread #1, which would confuse
GDB. (This problem is partly due to the remote protocol not having a
good way to send thread creation/destruction events.)
We fix this by using the host thread ID for the identifier passed to GDB
when debugging a multi-threaded userspace program. The thread ID might
wrap, but the same sort of problems with wrapping thread IDs would come
up with debugging programs natively, so this doesn't represent a
problem.

This patch adds the missing hooks to allow live migration in KVM mode.
It adds proper synchronization before/after saving/restoring the VCPU
states (note: PPC is untested), hooks into
cpu_physical_memory_set_dirty_tracking() to enable dirty memory logging
at KVM level, and synchronizes that drity log into QEMU's view before
running ram_live_save().

If the KVM MMU is asynchronous (kernel does not support MMU_NOTIFIER),
we have to avoid COW for the guest memory. Otherwise we risk serious
breakage when guest pages change there physical locations due to COW
after fork. Seen when forking smbd during runtime via -smb.

Enhance cpu_memory_rw_debug so that it can write even to ROM regions.
This allows to modify ROM via gdb (I see no point in denying this to the

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.

KVM uses cpu_physical_memory_rw() to access the I/O devices. When a
read or write with a length of 8-byte is requested, it is split into 2
4-byte accesses.
This has been broken in revision 5849. After this revision, only the
first 4 bytes are actually read/write to the device, as the target
address is changed, so on the next iteration of the loop the next 4
bytes are actually read/written elsewhere (in the RAM for the graphic
card).
This patch fixes screen corruption (and most probably data corruption)
with FreeBSD/amd64. Bug #2556746 in KVM bugzilla.
