Currently only file backed memory backend can
be created with a "share" flag in order to allow
sharing guest RAM with other processes in the host.
Add the "share" flag also to RAM Memory Backend
in order to allow remapping parts of the guest RAM
to different host virtual addresses. This is needed
by the RDMA devices in order to remap non-contiguous
QEMU virtual addresses to a contiguous virtual address range.
Moved the "share" flag to the Host Memory base class,
modified phys_mem_alloc to include the new parameter
and a new interface memory_region_init_ram_shared_nomigrate.
There are no functional changes if the new flag is not used.

When mmap(2) the backend files, QEMU uses the host page size
(getpagesize(2)) by default as the alignment of mapping address.
However, some backends may require alignments different than the page
size. For example, mmap a device DAX (e.g., /dev/dax0.0) on Linux
kernel 4.13 to an address, which is 4K-aligned but not 2M-aligned,
fails with a kernel message like
[617494.969768] dax dax0.0: qemu-system-x86: dax_mmap: fail, unaligned vma (0x7fa37c579000 - 0x7fa43c579000, 0x1fffff)
Because there is no common approach to get such alignment requirement,
we add the 'align' option to 'memory-backend-file', so that users or
management utils, which have enough knowledge about the backend, can
specify a proper alignment via this option.

normally consumes a lot of time (which looks like a dead loop).
The solution is simple - we don't walk over all the regions. Instead, we
jump over the regions when we found that the page directories are empty.
It'll greatly reduce the time to walk the whole region.
To achieve this, we provided a page walk helper to do that, invoking
corresponding hook function when we found an page we are interested in.
vtd_page_walk_level() is the core logic for the page walking. It's

In this patch, IOMMUNotifier.{start|end} are introduced to store section
information for a specific notifier. When notification occurs, we not
only check the notification type (MAP|UNMAP), but also check whether the
notified iova range overlaps with the range of specific IOMMU notifier,
and skip those notifiers if not in the listened range.
When removing an region, we need to make sure we removed the correct
VFIOGuestIOMMU by checking the IOMMUNotifier.start address as well.
This patch is solving the problem that vfio-pci devices receive
duplicated UNMAP notification on x86 platform when vIOMMU is there. The
issue is that x86 IOMMU has a (0, 2^64-1) IOMMU region, which is
splitted by the (0xfee00000, 0xfeefffff) IRQ region. AFAIK
this (splitted IOMMU region) is only happening on x86.
This patch also helps vhost to leverage the new interface as well, so
that vhost won't get duplicated cache flushes. In that sense, it's an
slight performance improvement.

With a vfio assigned device we lay down a base MemoryRegion registered
as an IO region, giving us read & write accessors. If the region
supports mmap, we lay down a higher priority sub-region MemoryRegion
on top of the base layer initialized as a RAM device pointer to the
mmap. Finally, if we have any quirks for the device (ie. address
ranges that need additional virtualization support), we put another IO
sub-region on top of the mmap MemoryRegion. When this is flattened,
we now potentially have sub-page mmap MemoryRegions exposed which
cannot be directly mapped through KVM.
This is as expected, but a subtle detail of this is that we end up
with two different access mechanisms through QEMU. If we disable the
mmap MemoryRegion, we make use of the IO MemoryRegion and service
accesses using pread and pwrite to the vfio device file descriptor.
If the mmap MemoryRegion is enabled and results in one of these
sub-page gaps, QEMU handles the access as RAM, using memcpy to the
mmap. Using either pread/pwrite or the mmap directly should be
correct, but using memcpy causes us problems. I expect that not only
does memcpy not necessarily honor the original width and alignment in
performing a copy, but it potentially also uses processor instructions
not intended for MMIO spaces. It turns out that this has been a
problem for Realtek NIC assignment, which has such a quirk that
creates a sub-page mmap MemoryRegion access.
To resolve this, we disable memory_access_is_direct() for ram_device
regions since QEMU assumes that it can use memcpy for those regions.
Instead we access through MemoryRegionOps, which replaces the memcpy
with simple de-references of standard sizes to the host memory.
With this patch we attempt to provide unrestricted access to the RAM
device, allowing byte through qword access as well as unaligned
access. The assumption here is that accesses initiated by the VM are
driven by a device specific driver, which knows the device
capabilities. If unaligned accesses are not supported by the device,
we don't want them to work in a VM by performing multiple aligned
accesses to compose the unaligned access. A down-side of this
philosophy is that the xp command from the monitor attempts to use
the largest available access weidth, unaware of the underlying
device. Using memcpy had this same restriction, but at least now an
operator can dump individual registers, even if blocks of device
memory may result in access widths beyond the capabilities of a
given device (RTL NICs only support up to dword).

Setting skip_dump on a MemoryRegion allows us to modify one specific

more than that. If we have a RAM MemoryRegion backed by a physical
device, it not only restricts our ability to dump that region, but
also affects how we should manipulate it. Here we recognize that
MemoryRegions do not change to sometimes allow dumps and other times
not, so we replace setting the skip_dump flag with a new initializer
so that we know exactly the type of region to which we're applying
this behavior.

with many PCI devices you have N regions added to M AddressSpaces
(M = # PCI devices with bus-master enabled) and each call looks
up the whole listener list, with at least M listeners in it.
Because most of the regions in N are BARs, which are also roughly
proportional to M, the whole thing is O(M^3). This changes it
to O(M^2), which is the best we can do without rewriting the

IOMMU Notifier list is used for notifying IO address mapping changes.
Currently VFIO is the only user.
However it is possible that future consumer like vhost would like to
only listen to part of its notifications (e.g., cache invalidations).
This patch introduced IOMMUNotifier and IOMMUNotfierFlag bits for a
finer grained control of it.
IOMMUNotifier contains a bitfield for the notify consumer describing
what kind of notification it is interested in. Currently two kinds of
notifications are defined:
- IOMMU_NOTIFIER_MAP: for newly mapped entries (additions)
- IOMMU_NOTIFIER_UNMAP: for entries to be removed (cache invalidates)
When registering the IOMMU notifier, we need to specify one or multiple
types of messages to listen to.
When notifications are triggered, its type will be checked against the
notifier's type bits, and only notifiers with registered bits will be
notified.
(For any IOMMU implementation, an in-place mapping change should be
notified with an UNMAP followed by a MAP.)
