This uses an existing hole in the TCGArgConstraint structure
and will be convenient for keeping the data in one place.

These functions, over the course of backporting qemu's newer changes,
were altered to return non-zero in the case of success, so we need to
update the cpu read/write functions as necessary.
Currently CPUState::cpu_index is monotonically increasing and a newly
created CPU always gets the next higher index. The next available
index is calculated by counting the existing number of CPUs. This is
fine as long as we only add CPUs, but there are architectures which
are starting to support CPU removal, too. For an architecture like PowerPC
which derives its CPU identifier (device tree ID) from cpu_index, the
existing logic of generating cpu_index values causes problems.
With the currently proposed method of handling vCPU removal by parking
the vCPU fd in QEMU
(Ref: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-02/msg02604.html),
generating cpu_index this way will not work for PowerPC.
This patch changes the way cpu_index is handed out by maintaining
a bit map of the CPUs that tracks both addition and removal of CPUs.
The CPU bitmap allocation logic is part of cpu_exec_init(), which is
called by instance_init routines of various CPU targets. Newly added
cpu_exec_exit() API handles the deallocation part and this routine is
called from generic CPU instance_finalize.
Note: This new CPU enumeration is for !CONFIG_USER_ONLY only.
CONFIG_USER_ONLY continues to have the old enumeration logic.
Backports commit b7bca7333411bd19c449147e8202ae6b0e4a8e09 from qemu
This shares an cached empty FlatView among address spaces. The empty
FV is used every time when a root MR renders into a FV without memory
sections which happens when MR or its children are not enabled or
zero-sized. The empty_view is not NULL to keep the rest of memory
API intact; it also has a dispatch tree for the same reason.
On POWER8 with 255 CPUs, 255 virtio-net, 40 PCI bridges guest this halves
the amount of FlatView's in use (557 -> 260) and dispatch tables
(~800000 -> ~370000). In an unrelated experiment with 112 non-virtio
devices on x86 ("-M pc"), only 4 FlatViews are alive, and about ~2000
are created at startup.
Backports commit 092aa2fc65b7a35121616aad8f39d47b8f921618 from qemu
This allows sharing flat views between address spaces (AS) when
the same root memory region is used when creating a new address space.
This is done by walking through all ASes and caching one FlatView per
a physical root MR (i.e. not aliased).
This removes search for duplicates from address_space_init_shareable() as
FlatViews are shared elsewhere and keeping as::ref_count correct seems
an unnecessary and useless complication.
This should cause no change and memory use or boot time yet.
Backports commit 967dc9b1194a9281124b2e1ce67b6c3359a2138f from qemu
As we are going to share FlatView's between AddressSpace's,
and AddressSpaceDispatch is a structure to perform quick lookup
in FlatView, this moves ASD to FlatView.
After previosly open coded ASD rendering, we can also remove
as->next_dispatch as the new FlatView pointer is stored
on a stack and set to an AS atomically.
flatview_destroy() is executed under RCU instead of
address_space_dispatch_free() now.
This makes mem_begin/mem_commit to work with ASD and mem_add with FV
as later on mem_add will be taking FV as an argument anyway.
This should cause no behavioural change.
Backports commit 66a6df1dc6d5b28cc3e65db0d71683fbdddc6b62 from qemu
Add a MemoryRegion property, which if set is used to construct
the CPU's initial (default) AddressSpace.
Backports commit 6731d864f80938e404dc3e5eb7f6b76b891e3e43 from qemu
ARM and probably the rest of the arches have significant memory leaks as
they have no release interface.
Additionally, DrMemory does not have 64-bit support and thus I can't
test the 64-bit version under Windows. Under Linux valgrind supports
both 32-bit and 64-bit but there are different macros and code for Linux
and Windows.
