72cf2d4f0e Fix sys-queue.h conflict for good
Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc923584,
f40d753718,
96555a96d7 and
3990d09adf but the fixes were fragile.

Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

d1cd4bf419 introduce kvm64 CPU
In addition to the TCG based qemu64 type let's introduce a kvm64 CPU type,
which is the least common denominator of all KVM-capable x86-CPUs
(based on Intel Pentium 4 Prescott). It can be used as a base type
for migration.

a8a358bf35 allow overriding of CPUID level on command line
The CPUID level determines how many CPUID leafs are exposed to the guest.
Some features (like multi-core) cannot be propagated without the proper
level, but guests maybe confused by bogus entries in some leafs.
So add level= and xlevel= to the list of -cpu options to allow the user to
override the default settings. While at it, merge unnecessary local
variables into one and allow hexadecimal arguments.

400281af34 set CPUID bits to present cores and threads topology
Controlled by the enhanced -smp option set the CPUID bits to present the
guest the desired topology. This is vendor specific, but (with the exception
of the CMP_LEGACY bit) not conflicting, so we set all bits everytime.
There is no real multithreading support for AMD CPUs, so report cores
instead.

4a1418e07b Unbreak large mem support by removing kqemu
kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target.  The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.

Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways.  It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace.  Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.

kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel.  If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.

N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.

Paul, please Ack or Nack this patch.

09ac35ac31 omit 3DNOW! CPUID bits from qemu64 CPU model
Since we recently do not disable 3DNOW! support anymore, we should
avoid setting the bits in the default qemu64 CPU model to ease
migration. TCG does not support it anyway and even AMD deprecates
it's usage nowadays.
If you want to use it in KVM, use the phenom, athlon or host CPU
model.

671e467607 remove CPUID host hacks
KVM provides an in-kernel feature to disable CPUID bits that are not
present in the current host. So there is no need here to duplicate this
work. Additionally allows 3DNow! on capable processors, since the
restriction seems to apply to QEMU/TCG only.

6c1f42fe83 fix KVMs GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID feature usage
If we want to trim the user provided CPUID bits for KVM to be not greater
than that of the host, we should not remove the bits _after_ we sent
them to the kernel.
This fixes the masking of features that are not present on the host by
moving the trim function and it's call from helper.c to kvm.c.
It helps to use -cpu host.

fe4bce09b6 introduce -cpu host target
Although the guest's CPUID bits can be controlled in a fine grained way
in QEMU, a simple way to inject the host CPU is missing. This is handy
for KVM desktop virtualization, where one wants the guest to support the
full host feature set.
Introduce another CPU type called 'host', which will propagate the host's
CPUID bits to the guest. Unwanted bits can still be turned off by using
the existing syntax (-cpu host,-skinit)

This should fix compilation problem in case of CONFIG_USER_ONLY.

Currently INIT/SIPI is handled in the context of CPU that sends IPI.
This patch changes this to handle them like all other events in a main

be much more clear to handle those event by cpu thread itself and not
modify one cpu's state from the context of the other.

QEMU allows adding or removing cpu features by using the syntax '-cpu +feature'
or '-cpu -feature'.  Some cpuid features cause more than one bit to be set or

VMware couples itself pretty tightly to the CPUID, so it's a good idea to emulate

nested virtualization.

59795a1f92 x86 CPUID extended family/model (Andre Przywara).
x86 CPUs feature extended family/model bits in CPUID leaf
0000_0001|EAX. Refer to page 10 in:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/25481.pdf

Those bits are necessary to model newer AMD CPUs:
-cpu qemu64,family=15,model=65,stepping=3 or
-cpu qemu64,family=16,model=4,stepping=2

7ba1e61953 Add KVM support to QEMU
This patch adds very basic KVM support.  KVM is a kernel module for Linux that
allows userspace programs to make use of hardware virtualization support.  It
current supports x86 hardware virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V.  It
also supports IA64 VT-i, PPC 440, and S390.

This patch only implements the bare minimum support to get a guest booting.  It
has very little impact the rest of QEMU and attempts to integrate nicely with
the rest of QEMU.

Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.
Booting and shutting down a Linux guest:

w/TCG:  1:32.36 elapsed  84% CPU

w/KVM:  0:31.14 elapsed  59% CPU

Right now, KVM is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with
 -enable-kvm.  We can enable it by default later when we have had better
testing.
