Extend the migration URI to support file:<filename>. This can be used for
any migration scenario that does not require a reverse path. It can be
used as an alternative to 'exec:cat > file' in minimized containers that
do not contain /bin/sh, and it is easier to use than the fd:<fdname> URI.
It can be used in HMP commands, and as a qemu command-line parameter.
For best performance, guest ram should be shared and x-ignore-shared
should be true, so guest pages are not written to the file, in which case
the guest may remain running. If ram is not so configured, then the user
is advised to stop the guest first. Otherwise, a busy guest may re-dirty
the same page, causing it to be appended to the file multiple times,
and the file may grow unboundedly. That issue is being addressed in the
"fixed-ram" patch series.

These have been deprecated for a long time, and the introduction of
-audio in 7.1.0 has cemented the new way of specifying an audio backend's
parameters. However, there is still a need for simple configuration
of the audio backend in the desktop case; therefore, if no audiodev is
passed to audio_init(), go through a bunch of simple Audiodev* structures
and pick the first that can be initialized successfully.
The only QEMU_AUDIO_* option that is left in, waiting for a better idea,
is QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none which is used by qtest.
Remove all the parsing code, including the concept of "can_be_default"
audio drivers: now that audio_prio_list[] is only used in a single place,
wav can be excluded directly in that function.

For now, "share=off,readonly=on" would always result in us opening the
file R/O and mmap'ing the opened file MAP_PRIVATE R/O -- effectively
turning it into ROM.
Especially for VM templating, "share=off" is a common use case. However,
that use case is impossible with files that lack write permissions,
because "share=off,readonly=on" will not give us writable RAM.
The sole user of ROM via memory-backend-file are R/O NVDIMMs, but as we
have users (Kata Containers) that rely on the existing behavior --
malicious VMs should not be able to consume COW memory for R/O NVDIMMs --
we cannot change the semantics of "share=off,readonly=on"
So let's add a new "rom" property with on/off/auto values. "auto" is
the default and what most people will use: for historical reasons, to not
change the old semantics, it defaults to the value of the "readonly"
property.
For VM templating, one can now use:
-object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=on,rom=off,...
But we'll disallow:
-object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=on,rom=off,...
because we would otherwise get an error when trying to mmap the R/O file
shared and writable. An explicit error message is cleaner.
We will also disallow for now:
-object memory-backend-file,share=off,readonly=off,rom=on,...
-object memory-backend-file,share=on,readonly=off,rom=on,...
It's not harmful, but also not really required for now.
Alternatives that were abandoned:
* Make "unarmed=on" for the NVDIMM set the memory region container
readonly. We would still see a change of ROM->RAM and possibly run
into memslot limits with vhost-user. Further, there might be use cases
for "unarmed=on" that should still allow writing to that memory
(temporary files, system RAM, ...).
* Add a new "readonly=on/off/auto" parameter for NVDIMMs. Similar issues
as with "unarmed=on".
* Make "readonly" consume "on/off/file" instead of being a 'bool' type.
This would slightly changes the behavior of the "readonly" parameter:
values like true/false (as accepted by a 'bool'type) would no longer be
accepted.

AF_XDP is a network socket family that allows communication directly
with the network device driver in the kernel, bypassing most or all
of the kernel networking stack. In the essence, the technology is
pretty similar to netmap. But, unlike netmap, AF_XDP is Linux-native
and works with any network interfaces without driver modifications.
Unlike vhost-based backends (kernel, user, vdpa), AF_XDP doesn't
require access to character devices or unix sockets. Only access to
the network interface itself is necessary.
This patch implements a network backend that communicates with the
kernel by creating an AF_XDP socket. A chunk of userspace memory
is shared between QEMU and the host kernel. 4 ring buffers (Tx, Rx,
Fill and Completion) are placed in that memory along with a pool of
memory buffers for the packet data. Data transmission is done by
allocating one of the buffers, copying packet data into it and
placing the pointer into Tx ring. After transmission, device will
return the buffer via Completion ring. On Rx, device will take
a buffer form a pre-populated Fill ring, write the packet data into
it and place the buffer into Rx ring.
AF_XDP network backend takes on the communication with the host
kernel and the network interface and forwards packets to/from the
peer device in QEMU.
Usage example:
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=guest1,mac=00:16:35:AF:AA:5C
-netdev af-xdp,ifname=ens6f1np1,id=guest1,mode=native,queues=1
XDP program bridges the socket with a network interface. It can be
attached to the interface in 2 different modes:
1. skb - this mode should work for any interface and doesn't require
driver support. With a caveat of lower performance.
2. native - this does require support from the driver and allows to
bypass skb allocation in the kernel and potentially use
zero-copy while getting packets in/out userspace.
By default, QEMU will try to use native mode and fall back to skb.
Mode can be forced via 'mode' option. To force 'copy' even in native
mode, use 'force-copy=on' option. This might be useful if there is
some issue with the driver.
Option 'queues=N' allows to specify how many device queues should
be open. Note that all the queues that are not open are still
functional and can receive traffic, but it will not be delivered to
QEMU. So, the number of device queues should generally match the
QEMU configuration, unless the device is shared with something
else and the traffic re-direction to appropriate queues is correctly
configured on a device level (e.g. with ethtool -N).
'start-queue=M' option can be used to specify from which queue id
QEMU should start configuring 'N' queues. It might also be necessary
to use this option with certain NICs, e.g. MLX5 NICs. See the docs
for examples.
In a general case QEMU will need CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_SYS_ADMIN
or CAP_BPF capabilities in order to load default XSK/XDP programs to
the network interface and configure BPF maps. It is possible, however,
to run with no capabilities. For that to work, an external process
with enough capabilities will need to pre-load default XSK program,
create AF_XDP sockets and pass their file descriptors to QEMU process
on startup via 'sock-fds' option. Network backend will need to be
configured with 'inhibit=on' to avoid loading of the program.
QEMU will need 32 MB of locked memory (RLIMIT_MEMLOCK) per queue
or CAP_IPC_LOCK.
There are few performance challenges with the current network backends.
First is that they do not support IO threads. This means that data
path is handled by the main thread in QEMU and may slow down other
work or may be slowed down by some other work. This also means that
taking advantage of multi-queue is generally not possible today.
Another thing is that data path is going through the device emulation
code, which is not really optimized for performance. The fastest
"frontend" device is virtio-net. But it's not optimized for heavy
traffic either, because it expects such use-cases to be handled via
some implementation of vhost (user, kernel, vdpa). In practice, we
have virtio notifications and rcu lock/unlock on a per-packet basis
and not very efficient accesses to the guest memory. Communication
channels between backend and frontend devices do not allow passing
more than one packet at a time as well.
Some of these challenges can be avoided in the future by adding better
batching into device emulation or by implementing vhost-af-xdp variant.
There are also a few kernel limitations. AF_XDP sockets do not
support any kinds of checksum or segmentation offloading. Buffers
are limited to a page size (4K), i.e. MTU is limited. Multi-buffer
support implementation for AF_XDP is in progress, but not ready yet.
Also, transmission in all non-zero-copy modes is synchronous, i.e.
done in a syscall. That doesn't allow high packet rates on virtual
interfaces.
However, keeping in mind all of these challenges, current implementation
of the AF_XDP backend shows a decent performance while running on top
of a physical NIC with zero-copy support.
Test setup:
2 VMs running on 2 physical hosts connected via ConnectX6-Dx card.
Network backend is configured to open the NIC directly in native mode.
The driver supports zero-copy. NIC is configured to use 1 queue.
Inside a VM - iperf3 for basic TCP performance testing and dpdk-testpmd
for PPS testing.
iperf3 result:
TCP stream : 19.1 Gbps
dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results:
Tx only : 3.4 Mpps
Rx only : 2.0 Mpps
L2 FWD Loopback : 1.5 Mpps
In skb mode the same setup shows much lower performance, similar to
the setup where pair of physical NICs is replaced with veth pair:
iperf3 result:
TCP stream : 9 Gbps
dpdk-testpmd (single queue, single CPU core, 64 B packets) results:
Tx only : 1.2 Mpps
Rx only : 1.0 Mpps
L2 FWD Loopback : 0.7 Mpps
Results in skb mode or over the veth are close to results of a tap
backend with vhost=on and disabled segmentation offloading bridged
with a NIC.

When we for example have a sparse qcow2 image and discard: unmap is enabled,
there can be a lot of fragmentation in the image after some time. Especially on VM's
that do a lot of writes/deletes.
This causes the qcow2 image to grow even over 110% of its virtual size,
because the free gaps in the image get too small to allocate new
continuous clusters. So it allocates new space at the end of the image.
Disabling discard is not an option, as discard is needed to keep the
incremental backup size as low as possible. Without discard, the
incremental backups would become large, as qemu thinks it's just dirty
blocks but it doesn't know the blocks are unneeded.
So we need to avoid fragmentation but also 'empty' the unneeded blocks in
the image to have a small incremental backup.
In addition, we also want to send the discards further down the stack, so
the underlying blocks are still discarded.
Therefor we introduce a new qcow2 option "discard-no-unref".
When setting this option to true, discards will no longer have the qcow2
driver relinquish cluster allocations. Other than that, the request is
handled as normal: All clusters in range are marked as zero, and, if
pass-discard-request is true, it is passed further down the stack.
The only difference is that the now-zero clusters are preallocated
instead of being unallocated.
This will avoid fragmentation on the qcow2 image.

-accel tcg,one-insn-per-tb=on
It has the same behaviour as the existing '-singlestep' command line
option. We use a different name because 'singlestep' has always been
a confusing choice, because it doesn't have anything to do with
single-stepping the CPU. What it does do is force TCG emulation to
put one guest instruction in each TB, which can be useful in some
situations (such as analysing debug logs).
The existing '-singlestep' commandline options are decoupled from the
global 'singlestep' variable and instead now are syntactic sugar for
setting the accel property. (These can then go away after a
deprecation period.)
The global variable remains for the moment as:
* what the TCG code looks at to change its behaviour
* what HMP and QMP use to query and set the behaviour
In the following commits we'll clean those up to not directly
look at the global variable.

2. users must specify memory for all NUMA nodes (see [2])
This commit also separates descriptions for `mem` and `memdev` into two
paragraphs. The old doc describes legacy `mem` option first, and it was
a bit confusing.

Our 'file' chardev backend supports both "output from this chardev
is written to a file" and "input from this chardev should be read
from a file" (except on Windows). However, you can only set up
the input file if you're using the QMP interface -- there is no
command line syntax to do it.
Add command line syntax to allow specifying an input file
as well as an output file, using a new 'input-path' suboption.
The specific use case I have is that I'd like to be able to
feed fuzzer reproducer input into qtest without having to use
'-qtest stdio' and put the input onto stdin. Being able to
use a file chardev like this:
-chardev file,id=repro,path=/dev/null,input-path=repro.txt -qtest chardev:repro
means that stdio is free for use by gdb.

Currently we'll always generate a cluster node no matter user has
specified '-smp clusters=X' or not. Cluster is an optional level
and will participant the building of Linux scheduling domains and
only appears on a few platforms. It's unncessary to always build
it when it cannot reflect the real topology on platforms having no
cluster implementation and to avoid affecting the linux scheduling
domains in the VM. So only generate the cluster topology in ACPI
PPTT when the user has specified it explicitly in -smp.

This patch adds support for asynchronously tearing down a VM on Linux.
When qemu terminates, either naturally or because of a fatal signal,
the VM is torn down. If the VM is huge, it can take a considerable
amount of time for it to be cleaned up. In case of a protected VM, it
might take even longer than a non-protected VM (this is the case on
s390x, for example).
Some users might want to shut down a VM and restart it immediately,
without having to wait. This is especially true if management
infrastructure like libvirt is used.
This patch implements a simple trick on Linux to allow qemu to return
immediately, with the teardown of the VM being performed
asynchronously.
If the new commandline option -async-teardown is used, a new process is
spawned from qemu at startup, using the clone syscall, in such way that
it will share its address space with qemu.The new process will have the
name "cleanup/<QEMU_PID>". It will wait until qemu terminates
completely, and then it will exit itself.
This allows qemu to terminate quickly, without having to wait for the
whole address space to be torn down. The cleanup process will exit
after qemu, so it will be the last user of the address space, and
therefore it will take care of the actual teardown. The cleanup
process will share the same cgroups as qemu, so both memory usage and
cpu time will be accounted properly.
If possible, close_range will be used in the cleanup process to close
all open file descriptors. If it is not available or if it fails, /proc
will be used to determine which file descriptors to close.
If the cleanup process is forcefully killed with SIGKILL before the
main qemu process has terminated completely, the mechanism is defeated
and the teardown will not be asynchronous.
This feature can already be used with libvirt by adding the following
to the XML domain definition to pass the parameter to qemu directly:
<commandline xmlns="http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0">
<arg value='-async-teardown'/>
</commandline>

Copied from socket netdev file and modified to use SocketAddress
to be able to introduce new features like unix socket.
"udp" and "mcast" are squashed into dgram netdev, multicast is detected
according to the IP address type.
"listen" and "connect" modes are managed by stream netdev. An optional
parameter "server" defines the mode (off by default)
The two new types need to be parsed the modern way with -netdev, because
with the traditional way, the "type" field of netdev structure collides with
the "type" field of SocketAddress and prevents the correct evaluation of the
command line option. Moreover the traditional way doesn't allow to use
the same type (SocketAddress) several times with the -netdev option
(needed to specify "local" and "remote" addresses).
The previous commit paved the way for parsing the modern way, but
omitted one detail: how to pick modern vs. traditional, in
netdev_is_modern().
We want to pick based on the value of parameter "type". But how to
extract it from the option argument?
Parsing the option argument, either the modern or the traditional way,
extracts it for us, but only if parsing succeeds.
If parsing fails, there is no good option. No matter which parser we
pick, it'll be the wrong one for some arguments, and the error
reporting will be confusing.
Fortunately, the traditional parser accepts *anything* when called in
a certain way. This maximizes our chance to extract the value of
"type", and in turn minimizes the risk of confusing error reporting.

There are cases that malicious virtual machine can cause CPU stuck (due
to event windows don't open up), e.g., infinite loop in microcode when
nested #AC (CVE-2015-5307). No event window means no event (NMI, SMI and
IRQ) can be delivered. It leads the CPU to be unavailable to host or
other VMs. Notify VM exit is introduced to mitigate such kind of
attacks, which will generate a VM exit if no event window occurs in VM
non-root mode for a specified amount of time (notify window).
A new KVM capability KVM_CAP_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT is exposed to user space
so that the user can query the capability and set the expected notify
window when creating VMs. The format of the argument when enabling this
capability is as follows:
Bit 63:32 - notify window specified in qemu command
Bit 31:0 - some flags (e.g. KVM_X86_NOTIFY_VMEXIT_ENABLED is set to
enable the feature.)
Users can configure the feature by a new (x86 only) accel property:
qemu -accel kvm,notify-vmexit=run|internal-error|disable,notify-window=n
The default option of notify-vmexit is run, which will enable the
capability and do nothing if the exit happens. The internal-error option
raises a KVM internal error if it happens. The disable option does not
enable the capability. The default value of notify-window is 0. It is valid
only when notify-vmexit is not disabled. The valid range of notify-window
is non-negative. It is even safe to set it to zero since there's an
internal hardware threshold to be added to ensure no false positive.
Because a notify VM exit may happen with VM_CONTEXT_INVALID set in exit
qualification (no cases are anticipated that would set this bit), which
means VM context is corrupted. It would be reflected in the flags of
KVM_EXIT_NOTIFY exit. If KVM_NOTIFY_CONTEXT_INVALID bit is set, raise a KVM
internal error unconditionally.

Currently our semihosting implementations generally prohibit use of
semihosting calls in system emulation from the guest userspace. This
is a very long standing behaviour justified originally "to provide
some semblance of security" (since code with access to the
semihosting ABI can do things like read and write arbitrary files on
the host system). However, it is sometimes useful to be able to run
trusted guest code which performs semihosting calls from guest
userspace, notably for test code. Add a command line suboption to
the existing semihosting-config option group so that you can
explicitly opt in to semihosting from guest userspace with
-semihosting-config userspace=on
(There is no equivalent option for the user-mode emulator, because
there by definition all code runs in userspace and has access to
semihosting already.)
This commit adds the infrastructure for the command line option and
adds a bool 'is_user' parameter to the function
semihosting_userspace_enabled() that target code can use to check
whether it should be permitting the semihosting call for userspace.
It mechanically makes all the callsites pass 'false', so they
continue checking "is semihosting enabled in general". Subsequent
commits will make each target that implements semihosting honour the
userspace=on option by passing the correct value and removing
whatever "don't do this for userspace" checking they were doing by
hand.

-audio is used like "-audio pa,model=sb16". It is almost as simple as
-soundhw, but it reuses the -audiodev parsing machinery and attaches an
audiodev to the newly-created device. The main 'feature' is that
it knows about adding the codec device for model=intel-hda, and adding
the audiodev to the codec device.
In the future, it could be extended to support default models or
builtin devices, just like -nic, or even a default backend. For now,
keep it simple.

The concept of these is introduced in [1] in terms of the
description the CEDT ACPI table. The principal is more general.
Unlike once traffic hits the CXL root bridges, the host system
memory address routing is implementation defined and effectively
static once observable by standard / generic system software.
Each CXL Fixed Memory Windows (CFMW) is a region of PA space
which has fixed system dependent routing configured so that
accesses can be routed to the CXL devices below a set of target
root bridges. The accesses may be interleaved across multiple
root bridges.
For QEMU we could have fully specified these regions in terms
of a base PA + size, but as the absolute address does not matter
it is simpler to let individual platforms place the memory regions.
ExampleS:
-cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl.0,size=128G
-cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl.1,size=128G
-cxl-fixed-memory-window targets.0=cxl0,targets.1=cxl.1,size=256G,interleave-granularity=2k
Specifies
* 2x 128G regions not interleaved across root bridges, one for each of
the root bridges with ids cxl.0 and cxl.1
* 256G region interleaved across root bridges with ids cxl.0 and cxl.1
with a 2k interleave granularity.
When system software enumerates the devices below a given root bridge
it can then decide which CFMW to use. If non interleave is desired
(or possible) it can use the appropriate CFMW for the root bridge in
question. If there are suitable devices to interleave across the
two root bridges then it may use the 3rd CFMS.
A number of other designs were considered but the following constraints
made it hard to adapt existing QEMU approaches to this particular problem.
1) The size must be known before a specific architecture / board brings
up it's PA memory map. We need to set up an appropriate region.
2) Using links to the host bridges provides a clean command line interface
but these links cannot be established until command line devices have
been added.
Hence the two step process used here of first establishing the size,
interleave-ways and granularity + caching the ids of the host bridges
and then, once available finding the actual host bridges so they can
be used later to support interleave decoding.

Applications such as Gnome may use Alt-Tab and Super-Tab for different

However, Mac OS handles some combos like Command-Tab and Ctrl-arrows
at an earlier part of the event handling chain, not letting qemu see it.
We add a global Event Tap that allows qemu to see all events when the
mouse is grabbed. Note that this requires additional permissions.

ARM64 machines like Kunpeng Family Server Chips have a level
of hardware topology in which a group of CPU cores share L3
cache tag or L2 cache. For example, Kunpeng 920 typically
has 6 or 8 clusters in each NUMA node (also represent range
of CPU die), and each cluster has 4 CPU cores. All clusters
share L3 cache data, but CPU cores in each cluster share a
local L3 tag.
Running a guest kernel with Cluster-Aware Scheduling on the
Hosts which have physical clusters, if we can design a vCPU
topology with cluster level for guest kernel and then have
a dedicated vCPU pinning, the guest will gain scheduling
performance improvement from cache affinity of CPU cluster.
So let's enable the support for this new parameter on ARM
virt machines. After this patch, we can define a 4-level
CPU hierarchy like: cpus=*,maxcpus=*,sockets=*,clusters=*,
cores=*,threads=*.

The new Cluster-Aware Scheduling support has landed in Linux 5.16,
which has been proved to benefit the scheduling performance (e.g.
load balance and wake_affine strategy) on both x86_64 and AArch64.
So now in Linux 5.16 we have four-level arch-neutral CPU topology
definition like below and a new scheduler level for clusters.
struct cpu_topology {
int thread_id;
int core_id;
int cluster_id;
int package_id;
int llc_id;
cpumask_t thread_sibling;
cpumask_t core_sibling;
cpumask_t cluster_sibling;
cpumask_t llc_sibling;
}
A cluster generally means a group of CPU cores which share L2 cache
or other mid-level resources, and it is the shared resources that
is used to improve scheduler's behavior. From the point of view of
the size range, it's between CPU die and CPU core. For example, on
some ARM64 Kunpeng servers, we have 6 clusters in each NUMA node,
and 4 CPU cores in each cluster. The 4 CPU cores share a separate
L2 cache and a L3 cache tag, which brings cache affinity advantage.
In virtualization, on the Hosts which have pClusters (physical
clusters), if we can design a vCPU topology with cluster level for
guest kernel and have a dedicated vCPU pinning. A Cluster-Aware
Guest kernel can also make use of the cache affinity of CPU clusters
to gain similar scheduling performance.
This patch adds infrastructure for CPU cluster level topology
configuration and parsing, so that the user can specify cluster
parameter if their machines support it.

We have a description in qemu-options.hx for each CPU topology
parameter to explain what it exactly means, and also an extra
declaration for the target-specific one, e.g. "for PC only"
when describing "dies", and "for PC, it's on one die" when
describing "cores".
Now we are going to introduce one more non-generic parameter
"clusters", it will make the Doc less readable and if we still
continue to use the legacy way to describe it.
So let's at first make two tweaks of the Docs to improve the
readability and also scalability:
1) In the -help text: Delete the extra specific declaration and
describe each topology parameter level by level. Then add a
note to declare that different machines may support different
subsets and the actual meaning of the supported parameters
will vary accordingly.
2) In the rST text: List all the sub-hierarchies currently
supported in QEMU, and correspondingly give an example of
-smp configuration for each of them.

Add an option to use direct connections instead of via the bus. Clients
are accepted with QMP add_client.
This allows to provide the D-Bus display without a bus. It also
simplifies the testing setup (some CI have issues to setup a D-Bus bus
in a container).

The "dbus" display backend exports the QEMU consoles and other
UI-related interfaces over D-Bus.
By default, the connection is established on the session bus, but you
can specify a different bus with the "addr" option.
The backend takes the "org.qemu" service name, while still allowing
further instances to queue on the same name (so you can lookup all the
available instances too). It accepts any number of clients at this
point, although this is expected to evolve with options to restrict
clients, or only accept p2p via fd passing.
The interface is intentionally very close to the internal QEMU API,
and can be introspected or interacted with busctl/dfeet etc:
$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -name MyVM -display dbus
$ busctl --user introspect org.qemu /org/qemu/Display1/Console_0

The basic SGX did not enable numa for SGX EPC sections, which
result in all EPC sections located in numa node 0. This patch
enable SGX numa function in the guest and the EPC section can
work with RAM as one numa node.

[ 0.009981] ACPI: SRAT: Node 0 PXM 0 [mem 0x180000000-0x183ffffff]
[ 0.009982] ACPI: SRAT: Node 1 PXM 1 [mem 0x184000000-0x185bfffff]

The single backtick markup in ReST is the "default role". Currently,
Sphinx's default role is called "content". Sphinx suggests you can use
the "Any" role instead to turn any single-backtick enclosed item into a
cross-reference.
This is useful for things like autodoc for Python docstrings, where it's
often nicer to reference other types with `foo` instead of the more
laborious :py:meth:`foo`. It's also useful in multi-domain cases to
easily reference definitions from other Sphinx domains, such as
referencing C code definitions from outside of kerneldoc comments.
Before we do that, though, we'll need to turn all existing usages of the
"content" role to inline verbatim markup wherever it does not correctly
resolve into a cross-refernece by using double backticks instead.

New option parameters unstable-input and unstable-output set policy
for unstable interfaces just like deprecated-input and
deprecated-output set policy for deprecated interfaces (see commit
6dd75472d5 "qemu-options: New -compat to set policy for deprecated
interfaces"). This is intended for testing users of the management
interfaces. It is experimental.
For now, this covers only syntactic aspects of QMP, i.e. stuff tagged
with feature 'unstable'. We may want to extend it to cover semantic
aspects, or the command line.
Note that there is no good way for management application to detect
presence of these new option parameters: they are not visible output
of query-qmp-schema or query-command-line-options. Tolerable, because
it's meant for testing. If running with -compat fails, skip the test.

[Doc comments fixed up]
There is one numa config example in qemu-options.hx currently
using "-smp 2" and assuming that there will be 2 sockets and
2 cpus totally. However now the actual calculation logic of
missing sockets and cores is not immutable and is considered
liable to change. Although we will get maxcpus=2 finally based
on current parser, it's always stable to specify it explicitly.
So "-smp 2,sockets=2,maxcpus=2" will be optimal when we expect
multiple sockets and 2 cpus totally.

In the real SMP hardware topology world, it's much more likely that
we have high cores-per-socket counts and few sockets totally. While
the current preference of sockets over cores in smp parsing results
in a virtual cpu topology with low cores-per-sockets counts and a
large number of sockets, which is just contrary to the real world.
Given that it is better to make the virtual cpu topology be more
reflective of the real world and also for the sake of compatibility,
we start to prefer cores over sockets over threads in smp parsing
since machine type 6.2 for different arches.
In this patch, a boolean "smp_prefer_sockets" is added, and we only
enable the old preference on older machines and enable the new one
since type 6.2 for all arches by using the machine compat mechanism.

Currently we directly calculate the omitted cpus based on the given
incomplete collection of parameters. This makes some cmdlines like:
-smp maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,dies=2,maxcpus=16
-smp sockets=2,cores=4,maxcpus=16
not work. We should probably set the value of cpus to match maxcpus
if it's omitted, which will make above configs start to work.
So the calculation logic of cpus/maxcpus after this patch will be:
When both maxcpus and cpus are omitted, maxcpus will be calculated
from the given parameters and cpus will be set equal to maxcpus.
When only one of maxcpus and cpus is given then the omitted one
will be set to its counterpart's value. Both maxcpus and cpus may
be specified, but maxcpus must be equal to or greater than cpus.
Note: change in this patch won't affect any existing working cmdlines
but allows more incomplete configs to be valid.

In the SMP configuration, we should either provide a topology
parameter with a reasonable value (greater than zero) or just
omit it and QEMU will compute the missing value.
The users shouldn't provide a configuration with any parameter
of it specified as zero (e.g. -smp 8,sockets=0) which could
possibly cause unexpected results in the -smp parsing. So we
deprecate this kind of configurations since 6.2 by adding the
explicit sanity check.

Because SGX EPC is enumerated through CPUID, EPC "devices" need to be
realized prior to realizing the vCPUs themselves, i.e. long before
generic devices are parsed and realized. From a virtualization
perspective, the CPUID aspect also means that EPC sections cannot be
hotplugged without paravirtualizing the guest kernel (hardware does
not support hotplugging as EPC sections must be locked down during
pre-boot to provide EPC's security properties).
So even though EPC sections could be realized through the generic
-devices command, they need to be created much earlier for them to
actually be usable by the guest. Place all EPC sections in a
contiguous block, somewhat arbitrarily starting after RAM above 4g.
Ensuring EPC is in a contiguous region simplifies calculations, e.g.
device memory base, PCI hole, etc..., allows dynamic calculation of the
total EPC size, e.g. exposing EPC to guests does not require -maxmem,
and last but not least allows all of EPC to be enumerated in a single
ACPI entry, which is expected by some kernels, e.g. Windows 7 and 8.
The new compound properties command for sgx like below:
......
-object memory-backend-epc,id=mem1,size=28M,prealloc=on \
-object memory-backend-epc,id=mem2,size=10M \
-M sgx-epc.0.memdev=mem1,sgx-epc.1.memdev=mem2
