The commit 7197fb4058bcb68986bae2bb2c04d6370f3e7218 ("util/mmap-alloc:
fix hugetlb support on ppc64") fixed Huge TLB mappings on ppc64.
However, we still need to consider the underlying huge page size
during munmap() because it requires that both address and length be a
multiple of the underlying huge page size for Huge TLB mappings.
Quote from "Huge page (Huge TLB) mappings" paragraph under NOTES
section of the munmap(2) manual:
"For munmap(), addr and length must both be a multiple of the
underlying huge page size."
On ppc64, the munmap() in qemu_ram_munmap() does not work for Huge TLB
mappings because the mapped segment can be aligned with the underlying
huge page size, not aligned with the native system page size, as
returned by getpagesize().
This has the side effect of not releasing huge pages back to the pool
after a hugetlbfs file-backed memory device is hot-unplugged.
This patch fixes the situation in qemu_ram_mmap() and
qemu_ram_munmap() by considering the underlying page size on ppc64.
After this patch, memory hot-unplug releases huge pages back to the
pool.

Backports commit 53adb9d43e1abba187387a51f238e878e934c647 from qemu
Unfold parts of qemu_ram_mmap() for the sake of understanding, moving
declarations to the top, and keeping architecture-specifics in the
ifdef-else blocks. No changes in the function behaviour.
Give ptr and ptr1 meaningful names:
ptr -> guardptr : pointer to the PROT_NONE guard region
ptr1 -> ptr : pointer to the mapped memory returned to caller

If any of these signals happen on macOS, they are not delivered to other
threads and signalfd_compat receives nothing. Indeed, POSIX reference
and sigprocmask(2) note that an attempt to block the signals results in
undefined behaviour. SEGV and FPE can't also be received by signalfd(2)
on Linux.
An ability to retrieve SIGBUS via signalfd(2) is used by QEMU for
memory preallocation therefore we can't unblock it without consequences.
But it's important to leave a remark that the signal is lost on macOS.

qemu_strtosz() & friends reject NaNs, but happily accept infinities.
They shouldn't. Fix that.
The fix makes use of qemu_strtod_finite(). To avoid ugly casts,
change the @end parameter of qemu_strtosz() & friends from char **
to const char **.
Also, add two test cases, testing that "inf" and "NaN" are properly
rejected. While at it, also fixup the function documentation.

This is part of topoext support. To keep the compatibility, it is better
we support all the combination of nr_cores and nr_threads currently
supported. By allowing more nr_cores and nr_threads, we might end up with
more nodes than we can actually support with the real hardware. We need to
fix up the node id to make this work. We can achieve this by shifting the
socket_id bits left to address more nodes.

Check for the presence of posix_memalign() in the configure script,
not using "defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && !defined(__sun__)". This
lets qemu use posix_memalign() on NetBSD versions that have it,
instead of falling back to valloc() which is wasteful when the
required alignment is smaller than a page.
Backports commit 9bc5a7193fb422ee53187601eba577ee5d195522 from qemu
SPARC Linux has an oddity that it insists that mmap()
of MAP_FIXED memory must be at an alignment defined by
SHMLBA, which is more aligned than the page size
(typically, SHMLBA alignment is to 16K, and pages are 8K).
This is a relic of ancient hardware that had cache
aliasing constraints, but even on modern hardware the
kernel still insists on the alignment.
To ensure that we get mmap() alignment sufficient to
make the kernel happy, change QEMU_VMALLOC_ALIGN,
qemu_fd_getpagesize() and qemu_mempath_getpagesize()
to use the maximum of getpagesize() and SHMLBA.
In particular, this allows 'make check' to pass on Sparc:
we were previously failing the ivshmem tests.

Provide helpers to convert bitmaps to little endian format. It can be
used when we want to send one bitmap via network to some other hosts.
One thing to mention is that, these helpers only solve the problem of
endianess, but it does not solve the problem of different word size on
machines (the bitmaps managing same count of bits may contains different
size when malloced). So we need to take care of the size alignment issue
on the callers for now.

Nobody has mentioned AIX host support on the mailing list for years,
and we have no test systems for it so it is most likely broken.
We've advertised in configure for two releases now that we plan
to drop support for this host OS, and have had no complaints.
Drop the AIX host support code.
We can also drop the now-unused AIX version of sys_cache_info().
Note that the _CALL_AIX define used in the PPC tcg backend is
also used for Linux PPC64, and so that code should not be removed.

Change the qemu_strtosz() & friends to return -EINVAL when @endptr is
null and the conversion doesn't consume the string completely.
Matches how qemu_strtol() & friends work.
Only test_qemu_strtosz_simple() passes a null @endptr. No functional
change there, because its conversion consumes the string.
Simplify callers that use @endptr only to fail when it doesn't point
to '\0' to pass a null @endptr instead.

Backports commit a9c94277f07d19d3eb14f199c3e93491aa3eae0e from qemu
Range represents a range as follows. Member @start is the inclusive
lower bound, member @end is the exclusive upper bound. Zero @end is
special: if @start is also zero, the range is empty, else @end is to
be interpreted as 2^64. No other empty ranges may occur.
The range [0,2^64-1] cannot be represented. If you try to create it
with range_set_bounds1(), you get the empty range instead. If you try
to create it with range_set_bounds() or range_extend(), assertions
fail. Before range_set_bounds() existed, the open-coded creation
usually got you the empty range instead. Open deathtrap.
Moreover, the code dealing with the janus-faced @end is too clever by
half.
Dumb this down to a more pedestrian representation: members @lob and
@upb are inclusive lower and upper bounds. The empty range is encoded
as @lob = 1, @upb = 0.

Backports commit a0efbf16604770b9d805bcf210ec29942321134f from qemu
Commit 7f8f9ef1 introduced the ability to store a list of
integers as a sorted list of ranges, but when merging ranges,
it leaks one or more ranges. It was also using range_get_last()
incorrectly within range_compare() (a range is a start/end pair,
but range_get_last() is for start/len pairs), and will also
mishandle a range ending in UINT64_MAX (remember, we document
that no range covers 2**64 bytes, but that ranges that end on
UINT64_MAX have end < begin).
The whole merge algorithm was rather complex, and included
unnecessary passes over data within glib functions, and enough
indirection to make it hard to easily plug the data leaks.
Since we are already hard-coding things to a list of ranges,
just rewrite the thing to open-code the traversal and
comparisons, by making the range_compare() helper function give
us an answer that is easier to use, at which point we avoid the
need to pass any callbacks to g_list_*(). Then by reusing
range_extend() instead of duplicating effort with range_merge(),
we cover the corner cases correctly.
Drop the now-unused range_merge() and ranges_can_merge().
Doing this lets test-string-{input,output}-visitor pass under
valgrind without leaks.
Backports commit db486cc334aafd3dbdaf107388e37fc3d6d3e171 from qemu
Calling our function g_list_insert_sorted_merged is a misnomer,
since we are NOT writing a glib function. Furthermore, we are
making every caller pass the same comparator function of
range_merge(): any caller that would try otherwise would break
in weird ways since our internal call to ranges_can_merge() is
hard-coded to operate only on ranges, rather than paying
attention to the caller's comparator.
Better is to fix things so that callers don't have to care about
our internal comparator, by picking a function name and updating
the parameter type away from a gratuitous use of void*, to make
it obvious that we are operating specifically on a list of ranges
and not a generic list. Plus, refactoring the code here will
make it easier to plug a memory leak in the next patch.
range_compare() is now internal only, and moves to the .c file.
Backports commit 7c47959d0cb05db43014141a156ada0b6d53a750 from qemu
g_list_insert_sorted_merged() is rather large to be an inline
function; move it to its own file. range_merge() and
ranges_can_merge() can likewise move, as they are only used
internally. Also, it becomes obvious that the condition within
range_merge() is already satisfied by its caller, and that the
return value is not used.
The diffstat is misleading, because of the copyright boilerplate.
Backports commit fec0fc0a13ac7f1a1130433a6740cd850c3db34a from qemu
For KVM to use Transparent Huge Pages (THP) we have to ensure that the
alignment of the userspace address of the KVM memory slot and the IPA
that the guest sees for a memory region have the same offset from the 2M
huge page size boundary.
One way to achieve this is to always align the IPA region at a 2M
boundary and ensure that the mmap alignment is also at 2M.
Unfortunately, we were only doing this for __arm__, not for __aarch64__,
so add this simple condition.
This fixes a performance regression using KVM/ARM on AArch64 platforms
that showed a performance penalty of more than 50%, introduced by the
following commit:
9fac18f (oslib: allocate PROT_NONE pages on top of RAM, 2015-09-10)
We were only lucky before the above commit, because we were allocating
large regions and naturally getting a 2M alignment on those allocations
then.
