It was found that QMP users of QEMU (e.g. libvirt) may need
HV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO.EAX/HV_CPUID_NESTED_FEATURES.EAX information. In
particular, 'hv_tlbflush' and 'hv_evmcs' enlightenments are only exposed in
HV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO.EAX.
HV_CPUID_NESTED_FEATURES.EAX is exposed for two reasons: convenience
(we don't need to export it from hyperv_handle_properties() and as
future-proof for Enlightened MSR-Bitmap, PV EPT invalidation and
direct virtual flush features.

Direct store is implemented by using write combining (WC) for writing

Backports commit 5f00335aecafc9ad56592d943619d3252f8941f1 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.

Always initialize CPUCaches structs with cache information, even

"Some AMD processors only support a non-architectural means of enabling
speculative store bypass disable (SSBD). To allow a simplified view of
this to a guest, an architectural definition has been created through a new
CPUID bit, 0x80000008_EBX[25], and a new MSR, 0xc001011f. With this, a
hypervisor can virtualize the existence of this definition and provide an
architectural method for using SSBD to a guest.
Add the new CPUID feature, the new MSR and update the existing SSBD
support to use this MSR when present." (from x86/speculation: Add virtualized

The property legacy-cache will be used to control the cache information.
If user passes "-cpu legacy-cache" then older information will
be displayed even if the hardware supports new information. Otherwise
use the statically loaded cache definitions if available.
Renamed the previous cache structures to legacy_*. If there is any change in
the cache information, then it needs to be initialized in builtin_x86_defs.

Instead of having a collection of macros that need to be used in
complex expressions to build CPUID data, define a CPUCacheInfo
struct that can hold information about a given cache. Helper
functions will take a CPUCacheInfo struct as input to encode
CPUID leaves for a cache.
This will help us ensure consistency between cache information
CPUID leaves, and make the existing inconsistencies in CPUID info
more visible.

The CLDEMOTE instruction hints to hardware that the cache line that
contains the linear address should be moved("demoted") from
the cache(s) closest to the processor core to a level more distant
from the processor core. This may accelerate subsequent accesses
to the line by other cores in the same coherence domain,
especially if the line was written by the core that demotes the line.

Considering that features are converted to global properties and
global properties are automatically applied to every new instance
of created CPU (at object_new() time), there is no point in
parsing cpu_model string every time a CPU created. So move
parsing outside CPU creation loop and do it only once.
Parsing also should be done before any CPU is created so that
features would affect the first CPU a well.

Currently CPUClass->parse_features() is used to parse -cpu
features string and set properties on created CPU instances.
But considering that features specified by -cpu apply to every
created CPU instance, it doesn't make sense to parse the same
features string for every CPU created. It also makes every target
that cares about parsing features string explicitly call
CPUClass->parse_features() parser, which gets in a way if we
consider using generic device_add for CPU hotplug as device_add
has not a clue about CPU specific hooks.
Turns out we can use global properties mechanism to set
properties on every created CPU instance for a given type. That
way it's possible to convert CPU features into a set of global
properties for CPU type specified by -cpu cpu_model and common
Device.device_post_init() will apply them to CPU of given type
automatically regardless whether it's manually created CPU or CPU
created with help of device_add.

As cpu.h is another typically widely included file which doesn't need
full access to the softfloat API we can remove the includes from here
as well. Where they do need types it's typically for float_status and
the rounding modes so we move that to softfloat-types.h as well.
As a result of not having softfloat in every cpu.h call we now need to
add it to various helpers that do need the full softfloat.h
definitions.

The MC68040 MMU provides the size of the access that
triggers the page fault.
This size is set in the Special Status Word which
is written in the stack frame of the access fault
exception.
So we need the size in m68k_cpu_unassigned_access() and
m68k_cpu_handle_mmu_fault().
To be able to do that, this patch modifies the prototype of
handle_mmu_fault handler, tlb_fill() and probe_write().
do_unassigned_access() already includes a size parameter.
This patch also updates handle_mmu_fault handlers and
tlb_fill() of all targets (only parameter, no code change).

Currently when running KVM, we expose "KVMKVMKVM\0\0\0" in
the 0x40000000 CPUID leaf. Other hypervisors (VMWare,
HyperV, Xen, BHyve) all do the same thing, which leaves
TCG as the odd one out.
The CPUID signature is used by software to detect which
virtual environment they are running in and (potentially)
change behaviour in certain ways. For example, systemd
supports a ConditionVirtualization= setting in unit files.
The virt-what command can also report the virt type it is
running on
Currently both these apps have to resort to custom hacks
like looking for 'fw-cfg' entry in the /proc/device-tree
file to identify TCG.
This change thus proposes a signature "TCGTCGTCGTCG" to be
reported when running under TCG.
To hide this, the -cpu option tcg-cpuid=off can be used.
