This is legal; the MemoryRegion will simply unreference all the
existing subregions and possibly bring them down with it as well.
However, it requires a bit of care to avoid an infinite loop.
Finalizing a memory region cannot trigger an address space update,
but memory_region_del_subregion errs on the side of caution and
might trigger a spurious update: avoid that by resetting mr->enabled
first.

This introduces the memory region property "global_locking". It is true
by default. By setting it to false, a device model can request BQL-free
dispatching of region accesses to its r/w handlers. The actual BQL
break-up will be provided in a separate patch.

mr->terminates alone doesn't guarantee that we are looking at a RAM region.
mr->ram_addr also has to be checked, in order to distinguish RAM and I/O
regions.
So, do the following:
1) add a new define RAM_ADDR_INVALID, and test it in the assertions
instead of mr->terminates
2) IOMMU regions were not setting mr->ram_addr to a bogus value, initialize
it in the instance_init function so that the new assertions would fire
for IOMMU regions as well.

The cpu_physical_memory_reset_dirty() function is sometimes used
together with cpu_physical_memory_get_dirty(). This is not atomic since
two separate accesses to the dirty memory bitmap are made.
Turn cpu_physical_memory_reset_dirty() and
cpu_physical_memory_clear_dirty_range_type() into the atomic
cpu_physical_memory_test_and_clear_dirty().

DIRTY_MEMORY_CODE is only needed for TCG. By adding it directly to
mr->dirty_log_mask, we avoid testing for TCG everywhere a region is
checked for the enabled/disabled state of dirty logging.
Backports commit 677e7805cf95f3b2bca8baf0888d1ebed7f0c606 from qemu
When the dirty log mask will also cover other bits than DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA,
some listeners may be interested in the overall zero/non-zero value of
the dirty log mask; others may be interested in the value of single bits.
For this reason, always call log_start/log_stop if bits have respectively
appeared or disappeared, and pass the old and new values of the dirty log
mask so that listeners can distinguish the kinds of change.
For example, KVM checks if dirty logging used to be completely disabled
(in log_start) or is now completely disabled (in log_stop). On the
other hand, Xen has to check manually if DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA changed,
since that is the only bit it cares about.
Backports commit b2dfd71c4843a762f2befe702adb249cf55baf66 from qemu
For now memory regions only track DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA individually, but
this will change soon. To support this, split memory_region_is_logging
in two functions: one that returns a given bit from dirty_log_mask,
and one that returns the entire mask. memory_region_is_logging gets an
extra parameter so that the compiler flags misuse.
While VGA-specific users (including the Xen listener!) will want to keep
checking that bit, KVM and vhost check for "any bit except migration"
(because migration is handled via the global start/stop listener
callbacks).
Backports commit 2d1a35bef0ed96b3f23535e459c552414ccdbafd from qemu
Rather than retaining io_mem_read/write as simple wrappers around
the memory_region_dispatch_read/write functions, make the latter
public and change all the callers to use them, since we need to
touch all the callsites anyway to add MemTxAttrs and MemTxResult
support. Delete io_mem_read and io_mem_write entirely.
(All the callers currently pass MEMTXATTRS_UNSPECIFIED
and convert the return value back to bool or ignore it.)
Backports commit 3b6434953934e6d4a776ed426d8c6d6badee176f from qemu
Define an API so that devices can register MemoryRegionOps whose read
and write callback functions are passed an arbitrary pointer to some
transaction attributes and can return a success-or-failure status code.
This will allow us to model devices which:
* behave differently for ARM Secure/NonSecure memory accesses
* behave differently for privileged/unprivileged accesses
* may return a transaction failure (causing a guest exception)
for erroneous accesses
This patch defines the new API and plumbs the attributes parameter through
to the memory.c public level functions io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(),
where it is currently dummied out.
The success/failure response indication is also propagated out to
io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(), which retain the old-style
boolean true-for-error return.
Backports commit cc05c43ad942165ecc6ffd39e41991bee43af044 from qemu
This commit fixes the following issues:
- Any unmapped/free'd memory regions (MemoryRegion instances) are not
removed from the object property linked list of its owner (which is
always qdev_get_machine(uc)). This issue makes adding new memory
mapping by calling mem_map() or mem_map_ptr() slower as more and more
memory pages are mapped and unmapped - yes, even if those memory pages
are unmapped, they still impact the speed of future memory page
mappings due to this issue.
- FlatView is not reconstructed after a memory region is freed during
unmapping, which leads to a use-after-free the next time a new memory
region is mapped in address_space_update_topology().
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.
It appears the problem is that we are not calling the memory region
destructor. After modifying memory_unmap to include the destructor call
for the memory region, the memory is freed.
Furthermore in uc_close we must explicitly free any blocks that were not
unmapped by the user to prevent leaks.
This should fix issue 305.
