Protection Keys for Supervisor-mode pages is a simple extension of
the PKU feature that QEMU already implements. For supervisor-mode
pages, protection key restrictions come from a new MSR. The MSR
has no XSAVE state associated to it.
PKS is only respected in long mode. However, in principle it is
possible to set the MSR even outside long mode, and in fact
even the XSAVE state for PKRU could be set outside long mode
using XRSTOR. So do not limit the migration subsections for
PKRU and PKRS to long mode.

This patch fixes a translation bug for a subset of x86 BMI instructions
such as the following:
c4 e2 f9 f7 c0 shlxq %rax, %rax, %rax
Currently, these incorrectly generate an undefined instruction exception
when SSE is disabled via CR4, while instructions like "shrxq" work fine.
The problem appears to be related to BMI instructions encoded using VEX
and with a mandatory prefix of "0x66" (data). Instructions with this
data prefix (such as shlxq) are currently rejected. Instructions with
other mandatory prefixes (such as shrxq) translate as expected.
This patch removes the incorrect check in "gen_sse" that causes the
exception to be generated. For the non-BMI cases, the check is
redundant: prefixes are already checked at line 3696.

Newer AMD CPUs will add CPUID_0x8000000A_EDX[28] bit, which indicates
that SVM instructions (VMRUN/VMSAVE/VMLOAD) will trigger #VMEXIT before
CPU checking their EAX against reserved memory regions. This change will
allow the hypervisor to avoid intercepting #GP and emulating SVM
instructions. KVM turns on this CPUID bit for nested VMs. In order to
support it, let us populate this bit, along with other SVM feature bits,

Meson's "static" argument to cc.find_library is a tri-state. By default
Meson *prefers* a shared library, which basically means using -l to
look for it; instead, "static: false" *requires* a shared library. Of
course, "static: true" requires a static library, which is all good
for --enable-static builds.
For --disable-static, "static: false" is rarely desirable; it does not
match what the configure script used to do and the test is more complex
(and harder to debug if it fails, which was reported by Peter Lieven
for librbd).

This patch adds two virtio-9p configurations:

* One with the synth driver. While it is not used in the real world, this

We passed an is_write flag to the fuzz_dma_read_cb function to
differentiate between the mapped DMA regions that need to be populated
with fuzzed data, and those that don't. We simply passed through the
address_space_map is_write parameter. The goal was to cut down on
unnecessarily populating mapped DMA regions, when they are not read
from.
Unfortunately, nothing precludes code from reading from regions mapped
with is_write=true. For example, see:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-01/msg04729.html

QAPISchemaGenCommandVisitor.visit_command() needs to generate the
marshalling function into the current module, and also generate its
registration into the ./init system module. The latter is done
somewhat awkwardly: .__init__() creates a QAPIGenCCode that will not
be written out, each .visit_command() adds its registration to it, and
.visit_end() copies its contents into the ./init module it creates.
Instead provide the means to temporarily switch to another module.
Create the ./init module in .visit_begin(), and generate its initial
part. Add registrations to it in .visit_command(). Finish it in
.visit_end().

savevm, loadvm and delvm are some of the few HMP commands that have never
been converted to use QMP. The reasons for the lack of conversion are
that they blocked execution of the event thread, and the semantics
around choice of disks were ill-defined.
Despite this downside, however, libvirt and applications using libvirt
have used these commands for as long as QMP has existed, via the
"human-monitor-command" passthrough command. IOW, while it is clearly
desirable to be able to fix the problems, they are not a blocker to
all real world usage.
Meanwhile there is a need for other features which involve adding new
parameters to the commands. This is possible with HMP passthrough, but
it provides no reliable way for apps to introspect features, so using
QAPI modelling is highly desirable.
This patch thus introduces new snapshot-{load,save,delete} commands to
QMP that are intended to replace the old HMP counterparts. The new
commands are given different names, because they will be using the new
QEMU job framework and thus will have diverging behaviour from the HMP
originals. It would thus be misleading to keep the same name.
While this design uses the generic job framework, the current impl is
still blocking. The intention that the blocking problem is fixed later.
None the less applications using these new commands should assume that
they are asynchronous and thus wait for the job status change event to
indicate completion.
In addition to using the job framework, the new commands require the
caller to be explicit about all the block device nodes used in the
snapshot operations, with no built-in default heuristics in use.
Note that the existing "query-named-block-nodes" can be used to query
what snapshots currently exist for block nodes.

dgilbert: removed tests for now, the output ordering isn't
deterministic
common.rc assumes it is being sourced from the same directory and
so also tries to source common.config from the current working
directory. With the ability to now have named tests in the tests/
subdir we need to check two locations for common.config.
