Check the expected behaviour of qemu_chr_be_event() on a mux chardev.
For some reason, sending the event on the base chardev broadcast to

Kirill noticied that on recent versions on QEMU he was not able to
trigger SysRq to invoke debug capabilites of Linux Kernel. He tracked
it down to qemu_chr_be_event() ignoring CHR_EVENT_BREAK due s->be
being NULL. The bug was introduced in 2.8, commit a4afa548fc ("char:
move front end handlers in CharBackend"). Since the commit, the
qemu_chr_be_event() failed to deliver CHR_EVENT_BREAK due to
qemu_chr_fe_init() does not set s->be in case of mux.
Let's fix this by teaching mux to send an event to the frontend with
the focus.

Since there are some issues in memory alloc/free machenism
in glibc for little chunk memory, if Qemu frequently
alloc/free little chunk memory, the glibc doesn't alloc
little chunk memory from free list of glibc and still
allocate from OS, which make the heap size bigger and bigger.
This patch introduce malloc_trim(), which will free heap
memory when there is no rcu call during rcu thread loop.
malloc_trim() can be enabled/disabled by --enable-malloc-trim/
--disable-malloc-trim in the Qemu configure command. The
default malloc_trim() is enabled for libc.

Let's leverage the i8259 common code for kvm-i8259 too.
I think it's still possible that stats can lost when i8259 is in kernel
and meanwhile when irqfd is used, e.g., by vfio or vhost devices.
However that should be rare IMHO since they should be using MSIs mostly
if they really want performance (that's why people use vhost and device
assignment), and no old INTx should be used. As long as the INTx users
are emulated in QEMU the stats will be correct.
For "info pic", it should be always accurate since we fetch kvm regs
before dump.
More importantly, it's just too simple to do this now - it's only 10+
LOC to gain this feature.

We set up the io_mem_rom special memory region using the
unassigned_mem_ops structure; this is then used when a guest tries to
write to ROM. This is incorrect, because the behaviour of unassigned
memory may be different from that of ROM for writes. In particular,
on some architectures writing to unassigned memory generates a guest
exception, whereas writing to ROM is generally ignored. Use a
special readonly_mem_ops for this purpose instead, so writes to
ROM are ignored for all guest CPUs.

then into a file that we can load with the "-kernel" or "-bios" parameter
when we launch QEMU.

Hyper-V has a notion of partition-wide MSRs. Those MSRs are read and
written as usual on each VCPU, however the hypervisor maintains a single
global value for all VCPUs. Thus writing such an MSR from any single
VCPU affects the global value that is read by all other VCPUs.
This leads to an issue during VCPU hotplug: the zero-initialzied values
of those MSRs get synced into KVM and override the global values as has
already been set by the guest.
This change makes the partition-wide MSRs only be synchronized on the
first vcpu.

before invoking the start routine. - Paolo]

Recent glibc added memfd_create in sys/mman.h. This conflicts with
the definition in util/memfd.c:
/builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-2.11.0-rc1/util/memfd.c:40:12: error: static declaration of memfd_create follows non-static declaration
Fix the configure test, and remove the sys/memfd.h inclusion since the
file actually does not exist---it is a typo in the memfd_create(2) man
page.

'qmp_cpu' was implemented in commit 755f196898 ("qapi: Convert the cpu
command") as a functional no-op, a QMP call that does nothing and
return success. The idea, apparently, was to provide a counterpart
for the HMP 'hmp_cpu' command, introduced in the same commit.
After 6 years of its creation, qmp_cpu remains a functional no-op
that does nothing, having no value for any caller/user. A proposal
was sent to implement qmp_cpu like hmp_cpu works, but it was denied
[1]. The reason is that QMP must be as stateless as possible and a
function that changes its state (the current CPU monitor in the case
of qmp_cpu) goes against it. Any QMP command that needs a specific
monitor CPU setup must provide it in its arguments, instead of relying
in the current QMP monitor state.
After discussions that happened in [2] it was decided that a command
that does nothing since its birth, no one uses for anything and will
not be implemented, should be deprecated and erased. Given that we will
*not* provide any replacement for qmp_cpu and we believe that there
is no user relying on it, there is no point in adding a deprecation
delay for it.
So, this patch nukes qmp_cpu from QEMU code, removing both its blank
implementation in qmp.c and its doc in qapi-schema.json.

Use a string instead of a list of strings. While there, generate
fewer superfluous blank lines.

Use a string instead of a list of strings.
This makes qapi2texi.py generate additional blank lines. They're
harmless, and the next commit will get rid of them again.
