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.

Since we recently do not disable 3DNOW! support anymore, we should
avoid setting the bits in the default qemu64 CPU model to ease
migration. TCG does not support it anyway and even AMD deprecates
it's usage nowadays.
If you want to use it in KVM, use the phenom, athlon or host CPU
model.

This allows to set segment registers via gdb also in system emulation
mode. Basic sanity checks are applied and nothing is changed if they
fail. But screwing up the target via this interface will never be
complicated, so I avoided being too paranoid here.

This patch aligns the KVM-related layout and encoding of the CPU state
to be saved to disk or migrated with qemu-kvm. The major differences are

KVM provides an in-kernel feature to disable CPUID bits that are not

If we want to trim the user provided CPUID bits for KVM to be not greater
than that of the host, we should not remove the bits _after_ we sent
them to the kernel.
This fixes the masking of features that are not present on the host by
moving the trim function and it's call from helper.c to kvm.c.
It helps to use -cpu host.

Although the guest's CPUID bits can be controlled in a fine grained way
in QEMU, a simple way to inject the host CPU is missing. This is handy
for KVM desktop virtualization, where one wants the guest to support the
full host feature set.
Introduce another CPU type called 'host', which will propagate the host's
CPUID bits to the guest. Unwanted bits can still be turned off by using
the existing syntax (-cpu host,-skinit)

KVM defaults to the hypervisor CPUID bit to be set, whereas pure
QEMU clears it. On some occasions one wants to set or clear it the
other way round (for instance to get HyperV running inside a guest).
Move the bit-set to be done before the command line parsing and
enable it by default. One can disable it by using: -cpu qemu64,-hypervisor

This patch changes this to handle them like all other events in a main

modify one cpu's state from the context of the other.

Save and restore all so far neglected KVM-specific CPU states. Handling
the TSC stabilizes migration in KVM mode. The interrupt_bitmap and
mp_state are currently unused, but will become relevant for in-kernel

having to increment CPU_SAVE_VERSION later on once again.

at KVM level, and synchronizes that drity log into QEMU's view before

QEMU allows adding or removing cpu features by using the syntax '-cpu +feature'

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
