qemu_clock_warp function is called to update virtual clock when CPU
is sleeping. This function includes replay checkpoint to make execution
deterministic in icount mode.
Record/replay module flushes async event queue at checkpoints.
Some of the events (e.g., block devices operations) include interaction
with hardware. E.g., APIC polled by block devices sets one of IRQ flags.
Flag to be set depends on currently executed thread (CPU or iothread).
Therefore in replay mode we have to process the checkpoints in the same thread
as they were recorded.
qemu_clock_warp function (and its checkpoint) may be called from different
thread. This patch decouples two different execution cases of this function:
call when CPU is sleeping from iothread and call from cpu thread to update
virtual clock.
First task is performed by qemu_start_warp_timer function. It sets warp
timer event to the moment of nearest pending virtual timer.
Second function (qemu_account_warp_timer) is called from cpu thread
before execution of the code. It advances virtual clock by adding the length
of period while CPU was sleeping.

This patch implements record and replay of character devices.
It records chardevs communication in replay mode. Recorded information
include data read from backend and counter of bytes written
from frontend to backend to preserve frontend internal state.
If character device was configured through the command line in record mode,
then in replay mode it should be also added to command line. Backend of
the character device could be changed in replay mode.
Replaying of devices that perform ioctl and get_msgfd operations is not
supported.
gdbstub which also acts as a backend is not recorded to allow controlling
the replaying through gdb. Monitor backends are also not recorded.

gethugepagesize() works reliably only when its argument is on
hugetlbfs. When it's not, it returns the filesystem's "optimal
transfer block size", which may or may not be the actual page size
you'll get when you mmap().
If the value is too small or not a power of two, we fail
qemu_ram_mmap()'s assertions. These were added in commit 794e8f3
(v2.5.0). The bug's impact before that is currently unknown. Seems
fairly unlikely at least when the normal page size is 4KiB.
Else, if the value is too large, we align more strictly than
necessary.
gethugepagesize() goes back to commit c902760 (v0.13). That commit
clearly intended gethugepagesize() to be used on hugetlbfs only. Not
only was it named accordingly, it also printed a warning when used on
anything else. However, the commit neglected to spell out the
restriction in user documentation of -mem-path.
Commit bfc2a1a (v2.5.0) dropped the warning as bogus "because QEMU
functions perfectly well with the path on a regular tmpfs filesystem".
It sure does when you're sufficiently lucky. In my testing, I was
lucky, too.
Fix by switching to qemu_fd_getpagesize(). Rename the variable
holding its result from hpagesize to page_size.

Commit 8d31d6b extended file_ram_alloc() to accept file names in
addition to directory names. Even though it passes O_CREAT to open(),
it actually works only for existing files. Reproducer adapted from
the commit's qemu-doc.texi update:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -object memory-backend-file,size=2M,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/my-shmem-file,id=mb1
qemu-system-x86_64: -object memory-backend-file,size=2M,mem-path=/dev/hugepages/my-shmem-file,id=mb1: failed to get page size of file /dev/hugepages/my-shmem-file: No such file or directory
This is because we first get the page size for @path, then open the
actual file. Unwise even before the flawed commit, because the
directory could change in between, invalidating the page size.
Unlikely to bite in practice.
Rearrange the code to create the file (if necessary) before getting
its page size. Carefully avoid TOCTTOU conditions with a method
suggested by Paolo Bonzini.
While there, replace "hugepages" by "guest RAM" in error messages,
because host memory backends can be used for purposes other than huge
pages, e.g. /dev/shm/ shared memory. Help text of -mem-path agrees.

x2apic feature is in the kvm_default_props and automatically added to all
CPU models when KVM is enabled. But userspace devices don't support x2apic
which can't be enabled without the in-kernel irqchip. It will trigger
warning of "host doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:ECX.x2apic
[bit 21]" when kernel_irqchip is off. This patch is to fix it via removing
x2apic feature when kernel_irqchip is off.

With Hyper-V enabled CPU hotplug stops working. The CPU appears
in device manager on Windows but does not appear in peformance
monitor and control panel.
The root of the problem is the following. Windows checks
HV_X64_CPU_DYNAMIC_PARTITIONING_AVAILABLE bit in CPUID. The
presence of this bit is enough to cure the situation.
The bit should be set when CPU hotplug is allowed for HyperV VM.
The check that hot_add_cpu callback is defined is enough from the
protocol point of view. Though this callback is defined almost
always thus there is no need to export that knowledge in the
other way.

While ADDSEG will only be false in 16-bit mode for LEA, it can be
false even in other cases when 16-bit addresses are obtained via
the 67h prefix in 32-bit mode. In this case, gen_lea_v_seg forgets
to add a nonzero FS or GS base if CS/DS/ES/SS are all zero. This
case is pretty rare but happens when booting Windows 95/98, and
this patch fixes it.
The bug is visible since commit d6a291498, but it was introduced
together with gen_lea_v_seg and it probably could be reproduced
with a "addr16 gs movsb" instruction as early as in commit
ca2f29f555805d07fb0b9ebfbbfc4e3656530977.

The QUORUM_REPORT_BAD event is emitted whenever there's an I/O error
in a child of a Quorum device. This event is emitted at a maximum rate
of 1 per second. This means that an error in one of the children will
mask errors in the other children if they happen within the same 1
second interval.
This patch modifies qapi_event_throttle_equal() so QUORUM_REPORT_BAD

This patch adds an option to the drive_add HMP command to create only a
BlockDriverState without a BlockBackend on top.
The motivation for this is that libvirt needs to specify options to a
migration target (specifically, detect-zeroes). drive-mirror doesn't
allow specifying options, and the proper way to do this is to create the
target BDS separately with blockdev-add (where you can specify options)
and then use blockdev-mirror to that BDS.
However, libvirt can't use blockdev-add as long as it is still
experimental, and we're expecting that it will still take some time, so
we need to resort to drive_add.
The problem with drive_add is that so far it always created a BB, and
BDSes with a BB can't be used as a mirroring target as long as we don't
support multiple BBs per BDS - and while we're working towards that
goal, it's another thing that will still take some time.
So to achieve the goal, the simplest solution to provide the
functionality now without adding one-off options to the mirror QMP
commands is to extend drive_add to create nodes without BBs.
