In user-mode emulation env->idt.base memory is
allocated in linux-user/main.c with
size 8*512 = 4096 (for 64-bit).
When fake interrupt EXCP_SYSCALL is thrown
do_interrupt_user checks destination privilege level
for this fake exception, and tries to read 4 bytes
at address base + (256 * 2^4)=4096, that causes
segfault.
Privlege level was checked only for int's, so lets
read dpl from memory only for this case.

Backports commit 7616f1c2da1c0f336a474a56ad6d32e15ccd666e from qemu
Some software algorithms are based on the hardware's cache info, for example,
for x86 linux kernel, when cpu1 want to wakeup a task on cpu2, cpu1 will trigger
a resched IPI and told cpu2 to do the wakeup if they don't share low level
cache. Oppositely, cpu1 will access cpu2's runqueue directly if they share llc.
The relevant linux-kernel code as bellow:
static void ttwu_queue(struct task_struct *p, int cpu)
{
struct rq *rq = cpu_rq(cpu);
......
if (... && !cpus_share_cache(smp_processor_id(), cpu)) {
......
ttwu_queue_remote(p, cpu); /* will trigger RES IPI */
return;
}
......
ttwu_do_activate(rq, p, 0); /* access target's rq directly */
......
}
In real hardware, the cpus on the same socket share L3 cache, so one won't
trigger a resched IPIs when wakeup a task on others. But QEMU doesn't present a
virtual L3 cache info for VM, then the linux guest will trigger lots of RES IPIs
under some workloads even if the virtual cpus belongs to the same virtual socket.
For KVM, there will be lots of vmexit due to guest send IPIs.
The workload is a SAP HANA's testsuite, we run it one round(about 40 minuates)
and observe the (Suse11sp3)Guest's amounts of RES IPIs which triggering during
the period:

The VM's topology is "1*socket 8*cores 2*threads".
After present virtual L3 cache info for VM, the amounts of RES IPIs in guest
reduce 85%.
For KVM, vcpus send IPIs will cause vmexit which is expensive, so it can cause
severe performance degradation. We had tested the overall system performance if
vcpus actually run on sparate physical socket. With L3 cache, the performance
improves 7.2%~33.1%(avg:15.7%).

object_property_add_child() silently fails with error that it can't

registered for 'apic' feature. As result generic device_realize puts

and fix property name for apic_state to 'lapic', this way apic is
a child of cpu instance.

These are both stored in CPUID[EAX=7,EBX=0].ECX. KVM is going to
be able to emulate both (albeit with a performance loss in the case
of RDPID, which therefore will be in KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID rather
than KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID).
It's also possible to implement both in TCG, but this is for 2.8.

Add the host-phys-bits boolean property, if true, take phys-bits
from the hosts physical bits value, overriding either the default
or the user specified value.
We can also use the value we read from the host to check the users
explicitly set value and warn them if it doesn't match.
Note:
a) We only read the hosts value in KVM mode (because on non-x86
we get an abort if we try)
b) We don't warn about trying to use host-phys-bits in TCG mode,
we just fall back to the TCG default. This allows the machine
type to set the host-phys-bits flag if it wants and then to
work in both TCG and KVM.

Redo 9886e834 (target-i386: Require APIC ID to be explicitly set before
CPU realize) in another way that doesn't use int64_t to detect
if apic-id property has been set.
Use the fact that 0xFFFFFFFF is the broadcast
value that a CPU can't have and set default
uint32_t apic_id to it instead of using int64_t.
Later uint32_t apic_id will be used to drop custom
property setter/getter in favor of static property.

Backports commit fcc35e7ccaed771790940524f3b0eef7aebfc9b1 from qemu
Currently QEMU sets the x86 number of physical address bits to the
magic number 40. This is only correct on some small AMD systems;
Intel systems tend to have 36, 39, 46 bits, and large AMD systems
tend to have 48.
Having the value different from your actual hardware is detectable
by the guest and in principal can cause problems;
The current limit of 40 stops TB VMs being created by those lucky
enough to have that much.
This patch lets you set the physical bits by a cpu property but
defaults to the same 40bits which matches TCGs setup.
I've removed the ancient warning about the 42 bit limit in exec.c;
I can't find that limit in there and no one else seems to know where
it is.
We use a magic value of 0 as the property default so that we can
later distinguish between the default and a user set value.

Most of them use guard symbols like CPU_$target_H, but we also have

The script dislikes CPU_$target_H because they don't match their file

are reserved identifiers.
Clean them all up: use guard symbol $target_CPU_H for

This patch adds the support to inject SRAR and SRAO as LMCE, i.e. they
are injected to only one VCPU rather than broadcast to all VCPUs. As KVM
reports LMCE support on Intel platforms, this features is only available

LMCE is disabled by default and can be enabled/disabled by cpu option
'lmce=on/off'.

This change adds hyperv feature words report through qom rpc.
When VM is configured with hyperv features enabled
libvirt will check that required feature words are set
in cpuid leaf 40000003 through qom request.
Currently qemu does not report hyperv feature words
which prevents windows guests from starting with libvirt.
To avoid conflicting with current hyperv properties all added feature
words cannot be set directly with -cpu +feature yet.

I looked at a dozen Intel CPU that have this CPUID and all of them
always had Core offset as 1 (a wasted bit when hyperthreading is
disabled) and Package offset at least 4 (wasted bits at <= 4 cores).
QEMU uses more compact IDs and it doesn't make much sense to change it
now. I keep the SMT and Core sub-leaves even if there is just one
thread/core; it makes the code simpler and there should be no harm.

Backports commit f6f949e9295889fb272698aea763dcea77d616ce from qemu
The exception_action() function in user-exec.c is just a call to
cpu_loop_exit() for every target CPU except i386. Since this
function is only called if the target's handle_mmu_fault() hook has
indicated an MMU fault, and that hook is only called from the
handle_cpu_signal() code path, we can simply move the x86-specific
setup into that hook, which allows us to remove the TARGET_I386
ifdef from user-exec.c.
Of the actions that were done by the call to raise_interrupt_err():
* cpu_svm_check_intercept_param() is a no-op in user mode
* check_exception() is a no-op since double faults are impossible
for user-mode
* assignments to cs->exception_index and env->error_code are no-ops
* assigning to env->exception_next_eip is unnecessary because it
is not used unless env->exception_is_int is true
* cpu_loop_exit_restore() is equivalent to cpu_loop_exit() since
pc is 0
which leaves just setting env_>exception_is_int as the action that
needs to be added to x86_cpu_handle_mmu_fault().

In user mode, there's only a static address translation, TBs are always
invalidated properly and direct jumps are reset when mapping change.
Thus the destination address is always valid for direct jumps and
there's no need to restrict it to the pages the TB resides in.
Backports commit 90aa39a1cc4837360889f0e033ca25cc82100308 from qemu
We don't take care of direct jumps when address mapping changes. Thus we
must be sure to generate direct jumps so that they always keep valid
even if address mapping changes. Luckily, we can only allow to execute a
TB if it was generated from the pages which match with current mapping.
Document tcg_gen_goto_tb() declaration and note the reason for
destination PC limitations.
Some targets with variable length instructions allow TB to straddle a
page boundary. However, we make sure that both of TB pages match the
current address mapping when looking up TBs. So it is safe to do direct
jumps into the both pages. Correct the checks for some of those targets.
Given that, we can safely patch a TB which spans two pages. Remove the
unnecessary check in cpu_exec() and allow such TBs to be patched.
Backports commit 5b053a4a28278bca606eeff7d1c0730df1b047e9 from qemu
We are inconsistent with the type of tb->flags: usage varies loosely
between int and uint64_t. Settle to uint32_t everywhere, which is
superior to both: at least one target (aarch64) uses the most significant
bit in the u32, and uint64_t is wasteful.
Compile-tested for all targets.
