This flag will be used for KVM's nested VMX migration; the HF_GUEST_MASK name
is already used in KVM, adopt it in QEMU as well.
Backports commit f8dc4c645ec2956a6cd97e0ca0fdd4753181f735 from qemu
This implements NPT suport for SVM by hooking into
x86_cpu_handle_mmu_fault where it reads the stage-1 page table. Whether
we need to perform this 2nd stage translation, and how, is decided
during vmrun and stored in hflags2, along with nested_cr3 and
nested_pg_mode.
As get_hphys performs a direct cpu_vmexit in case of NPT faults, we need
retaddr in that function. To avoid changing the signature of
cpu_handle_mmu_fault, this passes the value from tlb_fill to get_hphys
via the CPU state.
This was tested successfully via the Jailhouse hypervisor.

It calls cpu_loop_exit in system emulation mode (and should never be
called in user emulation mode).
Backports commit 50b3de6e5cd464dcc20e3a48f5a09e0299a184ac from qemu
In icount mode, instructions that access io memory spaces in the middle
of the translation block invoke TB recompilation. After recompilation,
such instructions become last in the TB and are allowed to access io
memory spaces.
When the code includes instruction like i386 'xchg eax, 0xffffd080'
which accesses APIC, QEMU goes into an infinite loop of the recompilation.
This instruction includes two memory accesses - one read and one write.
After the first access, APIC calls cpu_report_tpr_access, which restores
the CPU state to get the current eip. But cpu_restore_state_from_tb
resets the cpu->can_do_io flag which makes the second memory access invalid.
Therefore the second memory access causes a recompilation of the block.
Then these operations repeat again and again.
This patch moves resetting cpu->can_do_io flag from
cpu_restore_state_from_tb to cpu_loop_exit* functions.
It also adds a parameter for cpu_restore_state which controls restoring
icount. There is no need to restore icount when we only query CPU state
without breaking the TB. Restoring it in such cases leads to the
incorrect flow of the virtual time.
In most cases new parameter is true (icount should be recalculated).
But there are two cases in i386 and openrisc when the CPU state is only
queried without the need to break the TB. This patch fixes both of
these cases.
Backports commit afd46fcad2dceffda35c0586f5723c127b6e09d8 from qemu
cpu_restore_state officially supports being passed an address it can't
resolve the state for. As a result the checks in the helpers are
superfluous and can be removed. This makes the code consistent with
other users of cpu_restore_state.
Of course this does nothing to address what to do if cpu_restore_state
can't resolve the state but so far it seems this is handled elsewhere.
The change was made with included coccinelle script.
Backports commit 65255e8efdd5fca602bcc4ff61a879939ff75f4f from qemu
Paths through the softmmu code during code generation now need to be audited
to check for double locking of tb_lock. In particular, VMEXIT can take tb_lock
through cpu_vmexit -> cpu_x86_update_cr4 -> tlb_flush.
To avoid this, split VMEXIT delivery in two parts, similar to what is done with
exceptions. cpu_vmexit only records the VMEXIT exit code and information, and
cc->do_interrupt can then deliver it when it is safe to take the lock.
Backports commit 10cde894b63146139f981857e4eedf756fa53dcb from qemu
We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
