checking code, we can correctly implement handling of watchpoints
which should match only on userspace accesses, where LDRT/STRT/LDT/STT

Switch all the uses of ld/st*_phys to address_space_ld/st*,

* behave differently for privileged/unprivileged accesses
* may return a transaction failure (causing a guest exception)

where it is currently dummied out.

As far as the QMP parser is concerned, neither the 'O' nor the 'q' format specifiers
put any constraint on the command. However, there are two differences:
1) from a documentation point of view 'O' says that this command takes
a dictionary. The dictionary will be converted to QemuOpts in the
handler to match the corresponding HMP command.
2) 'O' sets QMP_ACCEPT_UNKNOWNS, resulting in the command accepting invalid
extra arguments. For example the following is accepted:
{ "execute": "send-key",
"arguments": { "keys": [ { "type": "qcode", "data": "ctrl" },
{ "type": "qcode", "data": "alt" },
{ "type": "qcode", "data": "delete" } ], "foo": "bar" } }
Neither send-key nor migrate-set-capabilities take a QemuOpts-like
dictionary; they take an array of dictionaries. And neither command
really wants to have extra unknown arguments. Thus, the right
specifier to use in this case is 'q'; with this patch the above
command fails with
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter 'foo'"}}
as intended.

The invalidation code introduced in commit 2360b works by inverting most bits

hreg_store_msr() is called with alter_hv set to 0 which preserves the MSR_HVB

Ensure that we don't invalidate the msr MSR_HVB bit during cpu_post_load so
that the correct value is restored. This fixes suspend/resume for PPC64.

an #ifdef HOST_WORDS_BIGENDIAN to #ifdef TCG_TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN.
Since the latter doesn't get defined anywhere this meant we always
took the "LE host" codepath, and stored the two halves of the value
in the wrong order on BE hosts. This typically breaks any 64-bit
guest on a 32-bit BE host completely, and will have possibly more
subtle effects even for 32-bit guests.

There are two problems with memory barriers in async.c. The fix is
to use atomic_xchg in order to achieve sequential consistency between
the scheduling of a bottom half and the corresponding execution.
First, if bh->scheduled is already 1 in qemu_bh_schedule, QEMU does
not execute a memory barrier to order any writes needed by the callback
before the read of bh->scheduled. If the other side sees req->state as
THREAD_ACTIVE, the callback is not invoked and you get deadlock.
Second, the memory barrier in aio_bh_poll is too weak. Without this
patch, it is possible that bh->scheduled = 0 is not "published" until
after the callback has returned. Another thread wants to schedule the
bottom half, but it sees bh->scheduled = 1 and does nothing. This causes
a lost wakeup. The memory barrier should have been changed to smp_mb()
in commit 924fe12 (aio: fix qemu_bh_schedule() bh->ctx race condition,
2014-06-03) together with qemu_bh_schedule()'s. Guess who reviewed
that patch?
Both of these involve a store and a load, so they are reproducible on
x86_64 as well. It is however much easier on aarch64, where the
libguestfs test suite triggers the bug fairly easily. Even there the
failure can go away or appear depending on compiler optimization level,
tracing options, or even kernel debugging options.
Paul Leveille however reported how to trigger the problem within 15
minutes on x86_64 as well. His (untested) recipe, reproduced here
for reference, is the following:
1) Qcow2 (or 3) is critical – raw files alone seem to avoid the problem.
2) Use “cache=directsync” rather than the default of
“cache=none” to make it happen easier.
3) Use a server with a write-back RAID controller to allow for rapid
IO rates.
4) Run a random-access load that (mostly) writes chunks to various
files on the virtual block device.
a. I use ‘diskload.exe c:25’, a Microsoft HCT load
generator, on Windows VMs.
b. Iometer can probably be configured to generate a similar load.
5) Run multiple VMs in parallel, against the same storage device,
to shake the failure out sooner.
6) IvyBridge and Haswell processors for certain; not sure about others.
A similar patch survived over 12 hours of testing, where an unpatched
QEMU would fail within 15 minutes.
This bug is, most likely, also the cause of failures in the libguestfs
testsuite on AArch64.
Thanks to Laszlo Ersek for initially reporting this bug, to Stefan
Hajnoczi for suggesting closer examination of qemu_bh_schedule, and to
Paul for providing test input and a prototype patch.

Commit 0b183fc871:"memory: move mem_path handling to
memory_region_allocate_system_memory" split memory_region_init_ram and
memory_region_init_ram_from_file. Also it moved mem-path handling a step
up from memory_region_init_ram to memory_region_allocate_system_memory.
Therefore for any board that uses memory_region_init_ram directly,
-mem-path is not supported.
Fix this by replacing memory_region_init_ram with
memory_region_allocate_system_memory.

After qemu_iovec_destroy, the QEMUIOVector's size is zeroed and
the zero size ultimately is used to compute virtqueue_push's len
argument. Therefore, reads from virtio-blk devices did not
migrate their results correctly. (Writes were okay).
Save the size in virtio_blk_handle_request, and use it when the request
is completed.
Based on a patch by Wen Congyang.

In recent qemu versions, it is possible to override the backing file
name and format that is stored in the image file with values given at
runtime. In such cases, the temporary override could end up in the
image header if the qcow2 header was updated, while obviously correct
behaviour would be to leave the on-disk backing file path/format
unchanged.
Fix this and add a test case for it.

kvm_stat.{1,pod} started showing up as untracked files in my
directory, and I nearly accidentally merged them into a commit
with my usual habit of 'git add .'. Rather than spelling out
each such file, just ignore the entire pattern.
