The commit 7197fb4058bcb68986bae2bb2c04d6370f3e7218 ("util/mmap-alloc:
fix hugetlb support on ppc64") fixed Huge TLB mappings on ppc64.
However, we still need to consider the underlying huge page size
during munmap() because it requires that both address and length be a
multiple of the underlying huge page size for Huge TLB mappings.
Quote from "Huge page (Huge TLB) mappings" paragraph under NOTES
section of the munmap(2) manual:
"For munmap(), addr and length must both be a multiple of the
underlying huge page size."
On ppc64, the munmap() in qemu_ram_munmap() does not work for Huge TLB
mappings because the mapped segment can be aligned with the underlying
huge page size, not aligned with the native system page size, as
returned by getpagesize().
This has the side effect of not releasing huge pages back to the pool
after a hugetlbfs file-backed memory device is hot-unplugged.
This patch fixes the situation in qemu_ram_mmap() and
qemu_ram_munmap() by considering the underlying page size on ppc64.
After this patch, memory hot-unplug releases huge pages back to the
pool.

* Haiku: fix broken gcc strong stack protector
* qemu: Backport minor Haiku fix
We need to push this fix upstream to qemu. If we don't
get it upstreamed, i'll circle back and patch it if
Unicorn updates its qemu version.

This allows KVM with the Book3S radix MMU mode to take advantage of
THP and install larger pages in the partition scope page tables (the
host translation).
Backports commit 0c1272cc7c72dfe0ef66be8f283cf67c74b58586 from qemu
Check for the presence of posix_memalign() in the configure script,
not using "defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && !defined(__sun__)". This
lets qemu use posix_memalign() on NetBSD versions that have it,
instead of falling back to valloc() which is wasteful when the
required alignment is smaller than a page.
Backports commit 9bc5a7193fb422ee53187601eba577ee5d195522 from qemu
SPARC Linux has an oddity that it insists that mmap()
of MAP_FIXED memory must be at an alignment defined by
SHMLBA, which is more aligned than the page size
(typically, SHMLBA alignment is to 16K, and pages are 8K).
This is a relic of ancient hardware that had cache
aliasing constraints, but even on modern hardware the
kernel still insists on the alignment.
To ensure that we get mmap() alignment sufficient to
make the kernel happy, change QEMU_VMALLOC_ALIGN,
qemu_fd_getpagesize() and qemu_mempath_getpagesize()
to use the maximum of getpagesize() and SHMLBA.
In particular, this allows 'make check' to pass on Sparc:
we were previously failing the ivshmem tests.

Include sys/user.h for declaration of 'struct kinfo_proc'.

Tracked down with an ugly, brittle and probably buggy Perl script.
Also move includes converted to <...> up so they get included before
ours where that's obviously okay.
Backports commit a9c94277f07d19d3eb14f199c3e93491aa3eae0e from qemu
For KVM to use Transparent Huge Pages (THP) we have to ensure that the
alignment of the userspace address of the KVM memory slot and the IPA
that the guest sees for a memory region have the same offset from the 2M
huge page size boundary.
One way to achieve this is to always align the IPA region at a 2M
boundary and ensure that the mmap alignment is also at 2M.
Unfortunately, we were only doing this for __arm__, not for __aarch64__,
so add this simple condition.
This fixes a performance regression using KVM/ARM on AArch64 platforms
that showed a performance penalty of more than 50%, introduced by the
following commit:
9fac18f (oslib: allocate PROT_NONE pages on top of RAM, 2015-09-10)
We were only lucky before the above commit, because we were allocating
large regions and naturally getting a 2M alignment on those allocations
then.

Move declarations out of qemu-common.h for functions declared in
utils/ files: e.g. include/qemu/path.h for utils/path.c.
Move inline functions out of qemu-common.h and into new files (e.g.
include/qemu/bcd.h)
Backports commit f348b6d1a53e5271cf1c9f9acc4646b4b98c1771 from qemu
Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers

Anonymous and file-backed RAM allocation are now almost exactly the same.
