With all targets defining CPU_RESOLVING_TYPE, refactor
cpu_parse_cpu_model(type, cpu_model) to parse_cpu_model(cpu_model)
so that callers won't have to know internal resolving cpu
type. Place it in exec.c so it could be called from both
target independed vl.c and *-user/main.c.
That allows us to stop abusing cpu type from
MachineClass::default_cpu_type
as resolver class in vl.c which were confusing part of
cpu_parse_cpu_model().
Also with new parse_cpu_model(), the last users of cpu_init()
in null-machine.c and bsd/linux-user targets could be switched
to cpu_create() API and cpu_init() API will be removed by
follow up patch.
With no longer users left remove MachineState::cpu_model field,
new code should use MachineState::cpu_type instead and
leave cpu_model parsing to generic code in vl.c.
Backports commit 2278b93941d42c30e2950d4b8dff4943d064e7de from qemu
All machines that support user specified cpu_model either call
cpu_generic_init() or cpu_class_by_name()/CPUClass::parse_features
to parse feature string and to get CPU type to create.
Which leads to code duplication and hard-codding default CPU model
within machine_foo_init() code. Which makes it impossible to
get CPU type before machine_init() is run.
So instead of setting default CPUs models and doing parsing in
target specific machine_foo_init() in various ways, provide
a generic data driven cpu_model parsing before machine_init()
is called.
in follow up per target patches, it will allow to:
* define default CPU type in consistent/generic manner
per machine type and drop custom code that fallbacks
to default if cpu_model is NULL
* drop custom features parsing in targets and do it
in centralized way.
* for cases of
cpu_generic_init(TYPE_BASE/DEFAULT_CPU, "some_cpu")
replace it with
cpu_create(machine->cpu_type) || cpu_create(TYPE_FOO)
depending if CPU type is user settable or not.
not doing useless parsing and clearly documenting where
CPU model is user settable or fixed one.
Patch allows machine subclasses to define default CPU type
per machine class at class_init() time and if that is set
generic code will parse cpu_model into a MachineState::cpu_type
which will be used to create CPUs for that machine instance
and allows gradual per board conversion.
Backports commit 6063d4c0f98b35a27ca018393d328a1825412a7e from qemu
machine_class_base_init() member name is allocated by
machine_class_base_init(), but not freed by
machine_class_finalize(). Simply freeing there doesn't work,
because DEFINE_PC_MACHINE() overwrites it with a literal string.
Fix DEFINE_PC_MACHINE() not to overwrite it, and add the missing
free to machine_class_finalize().

Convert all machines to use DEFINE_MACHINE() instead of QEMUMachine
automatically using a script.
Backports commit e264d29de28c5b0be3d063307ce9fb613b427cc3 from qemu
The macro will allow easy registration of a TYPE_MACHINE subclass, using
only the machine name and a MachineClass initialization function as
parameter.
Backports commit ed0b6de343448d1014b53bcf541041373322fa1c from qemu
The macro will be useful to ensure the machine class names follow the
right format to make machine class lookup by class name work correctly.
Backports commit c84a8f01b2a5d8bf98c447796d4a747333a5b1fd from qemu
This removes the following fields from QEMUMachine: family, alias,
reset, hot_add_cpu, units_per_default_bus, no_serial, no_parallel,
use_virtcon, use_sclp, no_floppy, no_cdrom, default_display,
compat_props, and hw_version.
The only users of those fields were already converted to use QOM and
MachineClass directly, so they are not needed anymore.

Define a new MachineClass field ignore_memory_transaction_failures.
If this is flag is true then the CPU will ignore memory transaction
failures which should cause the CPU to take an exception due to an
access to an unassigned physical address; the transaction will
instead return zero (for a read) or be ignored (for a write). This
should be set only by legacy board models which rely on the old
RAZ/WI behaviour for handling devices that QEMU does not yet model.
New board models should instead use "unimplemented-device" for all
memory ranges where the guest will attempt to probe for a device that
QEMU doesn't implement and a stub device is required.
We need this for ARM boards, where we're about to implement support for
generating external aborts on memory transaction failures. Too many
of our legacy board models rely on the RAZ/WI behaviour and we
would break currently working guests when their "probe for device"
code provoked an external abort rather than a RAZ.
Backports commit ed860129acd3fcd0b1e47884e810212aaca4d21b from qemu
Add a documentation comment for memory_region_allocate_system_memory().
In particular, the reason for this function's existence and the
requirement on board code to call it exactly once are non-obvious.
Backports commit 09ad643823dcda0a86eddce1291c28d0ccb09a3b from qemu
Support target CPUs having a page size which isn't knownn
at compile time. To use this, the CPU implementation should:
* define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_VARY
* not define TARGET_PAGE_BITS
* define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN to the smallest value it
might possibly want for TARGET_PAGE_BITS
* call set_preferred_target_page_bits() in its realize
function to indicate the actual preferred target page
size for the CPU (and report any error from it)
In CONFIG_USER_ONLY, the CPU implementation should continue
to define TARGET_PAGE_BITS appropriately for the guest
OS page size.
Machines which want to take advantage of having the page
size something larger than TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN must
set the MachineClass minimum_page_bits field to a value
which they guarantee will be no greater than the preferred
page size for any CPU they create.
Note that changing the target page size by setting
minimum_page_bits is a migration compatibility break
for that machine.
For debugging purposes, attempts to use TARGET_PAGE_SIZE
before it has been finally confirmed will assert.
