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
The v7m CONTROL register bit 1 is SPSEL, which indicates
the stack being used. We were storing this information
not in v7m.control but in the separate v7m.other_sp
structure field. Unfortunately, the code handling reads
of the CONTROL register didn't take account of this, and
so if SPSEL was updated by an exception entry or exit then
a subsequent guest read of CONTROL would get the wrong value.
Using a separate structure field doesn't really gain us
anything in efficiency, so drop this unnecessary complexity
in favour of simply storing all the bits in v7m.control.
This is a migration compatibility break for M profile
CPUs only.
Backports commit abc24d86cc0364f402e438fae3acb14289b40734 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.
Backports commit fcf5ef2ab52c621a4617ebbef36bf43b4003f4c0 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.
Backports commit 20bccb82ff3ea09bcb7c4ee226d3160cab15f7da from qemu
Header guard symbols should match their file name to make guard
collisions less likely. Offenders found with
scripts/clean-header-guards.pl -vn.
Cleaned up with scripts/clean-header-guards.pl, followed by some
renaming of new guard symbols picked by the script to better ones.
Backports commit 121d07125bb6d7079c7ebafdd3efe8c3a01cc440 from qemu
Include qom/object.h and exec/memory.h instead of exec/ioport.h;
exec/ioport.h was almost everywhere required only for those two
includes, not for the content of the header itself.
Remove block/aio.h, everybody is already including it through
another path.
With this change, include/hw/hw.h is freed from qemu-common.h.
Backports commit df43d49cb8708b9c88a20afe0d1a3089b550a5b8 from qemu
When there are many instances of a given class, registering
properties against the instance is wasteful of resources. The
majority of objects have a statically defined list of possible
properties, so most of the properties are easily registerable
against the class. Only those properties which are conditionally
registered at runtime need be recorded against the klass.
Registering properties against classes also makes it possible
to provide static introspection of QOM - currently introspection
is only possible after creating an instance of a class, which
severely limits its usefulness.
This impl only supports simple scalar properties. It does not
attempt to allow child object / link object properties against
the class. There are ways to support those too, but it would
make this patch more complicated, so it is left as an exercise
for the future.
There is no equivalent to object_property_del() provided, since
classes must be immutable once they are defined.

Fix formatting of local apic definitions and drop unused constant
APIC_INPUT_POLARITY, APIC_SEND_PENDING. Magic numbers in shifts are
replaced with constants defined just above.

Added prefix APIC_ for determining the constant of a particular subsystem,
improve the overall readability and match other constant names.

These constants are needed for optimal access to
bit fields local apic registers without magic numbers.

apic_internal.h relies on cpu.h having been included (for the
X86CPU type); include it directly rather than relying on it
being pulled in via one of the other includes like timer.h.

osdep.h has a few things which are really compiler specific;
move them to compiler.h, and include compiler.h from osdep.h.
Backports commit 4912086865083a008f4fb73173fd0ddf2206c4d9 from qemu
Including qemu-common.h from other header files is generally a bad
idea, because it means it's very easy to end up with a circular
dependency. For instance, if we wanted to include memory.h from
qom/cpu.h we'd end up with this loop:
memory.h -> qemu-common.h -> cpu.h -> cpu-qom.h -> qom/cpu.h -> memory.h
Remove the include from memory.h. This requires us to fix up a few
other files which were inadvertently getting declarations indirectly
through memory.h.
The biggest change is splitting the fprintf_function typedef out
into its own header so other headers can get at it without having
to include qemu-common.h.

Since the BSP bit is writable on real hardware, during reset all the CPUs which
were not chosen to be the BSP should have their BSP bit cleared. This fix is
required for KVM to work correctly when it changes the BSP bit.
An additional fix is required for QEMU tcg to allow software to change the BSP
bit.
