Here "oob" stands for "Out-Of-Band". When "allow-oob" is set, it means
the command allows out-of-band execution.
The "oob" idea is proposed by Markus Armbruster in following thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-09/msg02057.html
This new "allow-oob" boolean will be exposed by "query-qmp-schema" as
well for command entries, so that QMP clients can know which commands
can be used in out-of-band calls. For example the command "migrate"
originally looks like:
{"name": "migrate", "ret-type": "17", "meta-type": "command",
"arg-type": "86"}
And it'll be changed into:
{"name": "migrate", "ret-type": "17", "allow-oob": false,
"meta-type": "command", "arg-type": "86"}
This patch only provides the QMP interface level changes. It does not
contain the real out-of-band execution implementation yet.
Backports commit 876c67512e2af8c05686faa9f9ff49b38d7a392c from qemu
This implements NPT suport for SVM by hooking into
x86_cpu_handle_mmu_fault where it reads the stage-1 page table. Whether
we need to perform this 2nd stage translation, and how, is decided
during vmrun and stored in hflags2, along with nested_cr3 and
nested_pg_mode.
As get_hphys performs a direct cpu_vmexit in case of NPT faults, we need
retaddr in that function. To avoid changing the signature of
cpu_handle_mmu_fault, this passes the value from tlb_fill to get_hphys
via the CPU state.
This was tested successfully via the Jailhouse hypervisor.

In commit 71b9a45330fe220d1 we changed the condition we use
to determine whether we need to refill the TLB in
get_page_addr_code() to
if (unlikely(env->tlb_table[mmu_idx][index].addr_code !=
(addr & (TARGET_PAGE_MASK | TLB_INVALID_MASK)))) {
This isn't the right check (it will falsely fail if the
input addr happens to have the low bit corresponding to
TLB_INVALID_MASK set, for instance). Replace it with a
use of the new tlb_hit() function, which is the correct test.
Backports commit e4c967a7201400d7f76e5847d5b4c4ac9e2566e0 from qemu
The condition to check whether an address has hit against a particular
TLB entry is not completely trivial. We do this in various places, and
in fact in one place (get_page_addr_code()) we have got the condition
wrong. Abstract it out into new tlb_hit() and tlb_hit_page() inline
functions (one for a known-page-aligned address and one for an
arbitrary address), and use them in all the places where we had the
condition correct.
This is a no-behaviour-change patch; we leave fixing the buggy
code in get_page_addr_code() to a subsequent patch

Leave ARM_CP_SVE, removing ARM_CP_FPU; the sve_access_check
produced by the flag already includes fp_access_check. If
we also check ARM_CP_FPU the double fp_access_check asserts.

We already check for the same condition within the normal integer
sdiv and sdiv64 helpers. Use a slightly different formation that
does not require deducing the expression type.

Since kernel commit a86bd139f2 (arm64: arch_timer: Enable CNTVCT_EL0
trap..), released in kernel version v4.12, user-space has been able
to read these system registers. As we can't use QEMUTimer's in
linux-user mode we just directly call cpu_get_clock().

We've already added the helpers with an SVE patch, all that remains
is to wire up the aa64 and aa32 translators. Enable the feature
within -cpu max for CONFIG_USER_ONLY.

Enhance the existing helpers to support SVE, which takes the
index from each 128-bit segment. The change has no effect
for AdvSIMD, since there is only one such segment.
Backports commit 18fc24057815bf3d956cfab892a2bc2344bd1dcb from qemu
For aa64 advsimd, we had been passing the pre-indexed vector.
However, sve applies the index to each 128-bit segment, so we
need to pass in the index separately.
For aa32 advsimd, the fp32 operation always has index 0, but
we failed to interpret the fp16 index correctly.
