Make SVM be disabled by default on all CPU models when in KVM mode.
Nested SVM is enabled by default in the KVM kernel module, but it is
probably less stable than nested VMX (which is already disabled by
default).
Add a new compat function, x86_cpu_compat_kvm_no_autodisable(), to keep
compatibility on previous machine-types.

TCG doesn't support VMX, and nested VMX is not enabled by default in the
KVM kernel module.
So, there's no reason to have VMX enabled by default on the core2duo and
coreduo CPU models, today. Even the newer Intel CPU model definitions
don't have it enabled.
In this case, we need machine-type compat code, as people may be running
the older machine-types on hosts that had VMX nesting enabled.

The x86_cpu_compat_disable_kvm_features() name was a bit confusing, as
it won't forcibly disable the feature for all CPU models (i.e. add it to
kvm_default_unset_features), but it will instead turn off the KVM
auto-enabling of the feature (i.e. remove it from kvm_default_features),
meaning the feature may still be enabled by default in some CPU models).

Differently from older versions, SMBIOS version 2.6 is explicit about
the encoding of UUID fields:

The dmidecode tool implements this and decodes the above "wire format"
when SMBIOS version >= 2.6. We moved from SMBIOS version 2.4 to 2.8 when
we started building the SMBIOS entry point inside QEMU, on commit
c97294ec1b.
Change smbios_build_type_1_table() to encode the UUID as specified.
To make sure we won't change the guest-visible UUID when upgrading to a
newer QEMU version, keep the old behavior on pc-*-2.1 and older.

Current support for bus master (clearing OK bit) together with the need to
support guests which do not enable PCI bus mastering, leads to extra state in
VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_BUS_MASTER_BUG bit, which isn't robust in case of cross-version
migration for the case when guests use the device before setting DRIVER_OK.
Rip out this code, and replace it:
- Modern QEMU doesn't need VIRTIO_PCI_FLAG_BUS_MASTER_BUG
so just drop it for latest machine type.
- For compat machine types, set PCI_COMMAND if DRIVER_OK
is set.
As this is needed for 2.1 for both pc and ppc, move PC_COMPAT macros from pc.h

This patch adds the 'units_per_default_bus' property which
allows individual boards to declare their desired
index => (bus,unit) mapping for their default HBA, so that
boards such as Q35 can specify that its default if_ide HBA,
AHCI, only accepts one unit per bus.
This property only overrides the mapping for drives matching
the block_default_type interface.
This patch also adds this property to *all* past and present
Q35 machine types. This retroactive addition is justified
because the previous erroneous index=>(bus,unit) mappings
caused by lack of such a property were not utilized due to
lack of initialization code in the Q35 init routine.
Further, semantically, the Q35 board type has always had the
property that its default HBA, AHCI, only accepts one unit per
bus. The new code added to add devices to drives relies upon
the accuracy of this mapping. Thus, the property is applied
retroactively to reduce complexity of allowing IDE HBAs with
different units per bus.
Examples:
Prior to this patch, all IDE HBAs were assumed to use 2 units
per bus (Master, Slave). When using Q35 and AHCI, however, we
only allow one unit per bus.
-hdb foo.qcow2 would become index=1, or bus=0,unit=1.
-hdd foo.qcow2 would become index=3, or bus=1,unit=1.
-drive file=foo.qcow2,index=5 becomes bus=2,unit=1.
These are invalid for AHCI. They now become, under Q35 only:
-hdb foo.qcow2 --> index=1, bus=1, unit=0.
-hdd foo.qcow2 --> index=3, bus=3, unit=0.
-drive file=foo.qcow2,index=5 --> bus=5,unit=0.
The mapping is adjusted based on the fact that the default IF
for the Q35 machine type is IF_IDE, and units-per-default-bus
overrides the IDE mapping from its default of 2 units per bus
to just 1 unit per bus.

Changing the ACPI table size causes migration to break, and the memory
hotplug work opened our eyes on how horribly we were breaking things in
2.0 already.
The ACPI table size is rounded to the next 4k, which one would think
gives some headroom. In practice this is not the case, because the user
can control the ACPI table size (each CPU adds 97 bytes to the SSDT and
8 to the MADT) and so some "-smp" values will break the 4k boundary and
fail to migrate. Similarly, PCI bridges add ~1870 bytes to the SSDT.
This patch concerns itself with fixing migration from QEMU 2.0. It
computes the payload size of QEMU 2.0 and always uses that one.
The previous patch shrunk the ACPI tables enough that the QEMU 2.0 size
should always be enough; non-AML tables can change depending on the
configuration (especially MADT, SRAT, HPET) but they remain the same
between QEMU 2.0 and 2.1, so we only compute our padding based on the
sizes of the SSDT and DSDT.
Migration from QEMU 1.7 should work for guests that have a number of CPUs
other than 12, 13, 14, 54, 55, 56, 97, 98, 139, 140. It was already
broken from QEMU 1.7 to QEMU 2.0 in the same way, though.
Even with this patch, QEMU 1.7 and 2.0 have two different ideas of
"-M pc-i440fx-2.0" when there are PCI bridges. Igor sent a patch to
adopt the QEMU 1.7 definition. I think distributions should apply
it if they move directly from QEMU 1.7 to 2.1+ without ever packaging
version 2.0.

For each compat property on PC_Q35_COMPAT_*, there are only two
possibilities:
* If the device is never instantiated when using a machine other than
pc-q35, then the compat property can be safely added to
PC_COMPAT_*;
* If the device can be instantiated when using a machine other than
pc-q35, that means the other machines also need the compat property
to be set.
That means we don't need separate PC_Q35_COMPAT_* macros at all, today.
The hpet.hpet-intcap case is interesting: piix and q35 do have something
that emulates different defaults, but the machine-specific default is
applied _after_ compat_props are applied, by simply checking if the
property is zero (which is the real default on the hpet code).
The hpet.hpet-intcap=0x4 compat property can (should?) be applied to
piix too, because 0x4 was the default on both piix and q35 before the
hpet-intcap property was introduced.
Now, if one day we change the default HPET intcap on one of the PC
machine-types again, we may want to introduce PC_{Q35,I440FX}_COMPAT
macros. But while we don't need that, we can keep the code simple.

This is a pc & q35 only machine opt.
If you add enough PCI devices then all mmio for them will not fit
below 4G which may not be the layout the user wanted. This allows
you to increase the below 4G address space that PCI devices can use
(aka decrease ram below 4G) and therefore in more cases not have any
mmio that is above 4G.
For example using "-machine pc,max-ram-below-4g=2G" on the command
line will limit the amount of ram that is below 4G to 2G.
Note: this machine option cannot be used to increase the amount
of ram below 4G.

RAM MRs including ROM files in FW CFGs are created

This becomes problematic if these names are

There are two cases we care about:
- option-rom flag.
- option ROM for devices. This triggers e.g. when
using rombar=0.
At the moment we get an assert. E.g
qemu -option-rom /usr/share/ipxe/8086100e.rom -option-rom
/usr/share/ipxe.efi/8086100e.rom
RAMBlock "/rom@genroms/8086100e.rom" already registered, abort!
This is a regression from 1.6.

Owning to some different hardware design, piix and q35 need
different compat. So making them diverge.
On q35, IRQ2/8 can be reserved for hpet timer 0/1. And pin 16~23
can be assigned to hpet as guest chooses. So we introduce intcap
property to do that.
Consider the compat and piix/q35, we finally have the following
value for intcap: For piix, hpet's intcap is hard coded as IRQ2.
For pc-q35-1.7 and earlier, we use IRQ2 for compat reason. Otherwise
IRQ2, IRQ8, and IRQ16~23 are allowed.

Currently, we get SeaBIOS defaults: manufacturer Bochs, product Bochs,
no version. Best SeaBIOS can do, but we can provide better defaults:
manufacturer QEMU, product & version taken from QEMUMachine desc and
name.
Take care to do this only for new machine types, of course.
Note: Michael Tsirkin doesn't trust us to keep values of QEMUMachine member
product stable in the future. Use copies instead, and in a way that
makes it obvious that they're guest ABI.
Note that we can be trusted to keep values of member name, because

It doesn't make sense for a region to be INT64_MAX in size:
memory core uses UINT64_MAX as a special value meaning
"all 64 bit" this is what was meant here.
While this should never affect the PC system which at the moment always
has < 63 bit size, this makes us hit all kind of corner case bugs with
sub-pages, so users are probably better off if we just use UINT64_MAX
instead.

This causes two slight backwards-incompatibilities between "-M pc-1.5"
and 1.5's "-M pc":
(1) a fw_cfg file is removed with this patch. This is only a problem
if migration stops the virtual machine exactly during fw_cfg enumeration.
(2) after migration, a VM created without an explicit "-device pvpanic"
will stop reporting panics to management.
The first problem only occurs if migration is done at a very, very
early point (and I'm not sure it can happen in practice for reasonable-size
VMs, since it will likely take more time to send the RAM to destination,
than it will take for BIOS to scan fw_cfg).
The second problem only occurs if the guest panics _and_ has a guest
driver _and_ management knows to look at the crash event, so it is
mostly theoretical at this point in time.
Thus keep the code simple, and pretend it was never broken.

This adds C code for generating ACPI tables at runtime,
imported from seabios git tree
commit 51684b7ced75fb76776e8ee84833fcfb6ecf12dd
Although ACPI tables come from a system BIOS on real hw,
it makes sense that the ACPI tables are coupled with the
virtual machine, since they have to abstract the x86 machine to
the OS's.
This is widely desired as a way to avoid the churn
and proliferation of QEMU-specific interfaces
associated with ACPI tables in bios code.
Notes:
As BIOS can reprogram devices prior to loading
ACPI tables, we pre-format ACPI tables but defer loading
hardware configuration there until tables are loaded.
The code structure was intentionally kept as close
to the seabios original as possible, to simplify
comparison and making sure we didn't lose anything
in translation.
Minor code duplication results, to help ensure there are no functional
regressions, I think it's better to merge it like this and do more code
changes in follow-up patches.
Cross-version compatibility concerns have been addressed:
ACPI tables are exposed to guest as FW_CFG entries.
When running with -M 1.5 and older, this patch disables ACPI
table generation, and doesn't expose ACPI
tables to guest.
As table content is likely to change over time,
the following measures are taken to simplify
cross-version migration:
- All tables besides the RSDP are packed in a single FW CFG entry.
This entry size is currently 23K. We round it up to 64K
to avoid too much churn there.
- Tables are placed in special ROM blob (not mapped into guest memory)
which is automatically migrated together with the guest, same
as BIOS code.
- Offsets where hardware configuration is loaded in ACPI tables
are also migrated, this is in case future ACPI changes make us
rearrange the tables in memory.
This patch reuses some code from SeaBIOS, which was originally under
LGPLv2 and then relicensed to GPLv3 or LGPLv3, in QEMU under GPLv2+. This
relicensing has been acked by all contributors that had contributed to the
code since the v2->v3 relicense. ACKs approving the v2+ relicensing are
listed below. The list might include ACKs from people not holding

This patch partially implements the e1000 interrupt mitigation mechanisms.
Using a single QEMUTimer, it emulates the ITR register (which is the newer
mitigation register, recommended by Intel) and approximately emulates
RADV and TADV registers. TIDV and RDTR register functionalities are not
emulated (RDTR is only used to validate RADV, according to the e1000 specs).
RADV, TADV, TIDV and RDTR registers make up the older e1000 mitigation
mechanism and would need a timer each to be completely emulated. However,
a single timer has been used in order to reach a good compromise between
emulation accuracy and simplicity/efficiency.
The implemented mechanism can be enabled/disabled specifying the command
line e1000-specific boolean parameter "mitigation", e.g.
qemu-system-x86_64 -device e1000,mitigation=on,... ...
For more information, see the Software developer's manual at
http://download.intel.com/design/network/manuals/8254x_GBe_SDM.pdf.
Interrupt mitigation boosts performance when the guest suffers from
an high interrupt rate (i.e. receiving short UDP packets at high packet
rate). For some numerical results see the following link

This has already introduced a minor bug: description

pc-1.4 is "Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)"

This patch addresses this issue by using macros, along

We set default boot order "cad" in every single machine definition
except "pseries" and "moxiesim", even though very few boards actually
care for boot order, and "cad" makes sense for even fewer.
Machines that care:
* pc and its variants
Accept up to three letters 'a', 'b' (undocumented alias for 'a'),
'c', 'd' and 'n'. Reject all others (fatal with -boot).
* nseries (n800, n810)
Check whether order starts with 'n'. Silently ignored otherwise.
* prep, g3beige, mac99
Extract the first character the machine understands (subset of
'a'..'f'). Silently ignored otherwise.
* spapr
Accept an arbitrary string (vl.c restricts it to contain only
'a'..'p', no duplicates).
* sun4[mdc]
Use the first character. Silently ignored otherwise.
Strip characters these machines ignore from their default boot order.
For all other machines, remove the unused default boot order
alltogether.
Note that my rename of QEMUMachine member boot_order to
default_boot_order and QEMUMachineInitArgs member boot_device to
boot_order has a welcome side effect: it makes every use of boot
orders visible in this patch, for easy review.

ROM files that are put in FW CFG are copied to guest ram, by BIOS, but
they are not backed by RAM so they don't get migrated.
Each time we change two bytes in such a ROM this breaks cross-version
migration: since we can migrate after BIOS has read the first byte but
before it has read the second one, getting an inconsistent state.
Future-proof this by creating, for each such ROM,
an MR serving as the backing store.
This MR is never mapped into guest memory, but it's registered
as RAM so it's migrated with the guest.
Naturally, this only helps for -M 1.7 and up, older machine types
will still have the cross-version migration bug.
Luckily the race window for the problem to trigger is very small,
which is also likely why we didn't notice the cross-version
migration bug in testing yet.

Use of a flash memory device for the BIOS was added in series "[PATCH
v10 0/8] PC system flash support", commit 4732dca..1b89faf, v1.1.
Flash vs. ROM is a guest-visible difference. Thus, flash use had to
be suppressed for machine types pc-1.0 and older. This was
accomplished by adding a dummy device "pc-sysfw" with property
"rom_only":
* Non-zero rom_only means "use ROM". Default for pc-1.0 and older.
* Zero rom_only means "maybe use flash". Default for newer machines.
Not only is the dummy device ugly, it was also retroactively added to
the older machine types! Fortunately, it's not guest-visible (thus no
immediate guest ABI breakage), and has no vmstate (thus no immediate
migration breakage). Breakage occurs only if the user unwisely
enables flash by setting rom_only to zero. Patch review FAIL #1.
Why "maybe use flash"? Flash didn't (and still doesn't) work with
KVM. Therefore, rom_only=0 really means "use flash, except when KVM
is enabled, use ROM". This is a Bad Idea, because it makes enabling/
disabling KVM guest-visible. Patch review FAIL #2.
Aside: it also precludes migrating between KVM on and off, but that's
not possible for other reasons anyway.
Fix as follows:
1. Change the meaning of rom_only=0 to mean "use flash, no ifs, buts,
or maybes" for pc-i440fx-1.5 and pc-q35-1.5. Don't change anything
for older machines (to remain bug-compatible).
2. Change the default value from 0 to 1 for these machines.
Necessary, because 0 doesn't work with KVM. Once it does, we can flip
the default back to 0.
3. Don't revert the retroactive addition of device "pc-sysfw" to older
machine types. Seems not worth the trouble.
4. Add a TODO comment asking for device "pc-sysfw" to be dropped once
flash works with KVM.
Net effect is that you get a BIOS ROM again even when KVM is disabled,
just like for machines predating the introduction of flash.
To get flash instead, use "--global pc-sysfw.rom_only=0".
