Migration from a 2.3.0 qemu results in a reboot on the receiving QEMU
due to a disagreement about SM (System management) interrupts.
2.3.0 didn't have much SMI support, but it did set CPU_INTERRUPT_SMI
and this gets into the migration stream, but on 2.3.0 it
never got delivered.
~2.4.0 SMI interrupt support was added but was broken - so
that when a 2.3.0 stream was received it cleared the CPU_INTERRUPT_SMI
but never actually caused an interrupt.
The SMI delivery was recently fixed by 68c6efe07a, but the
effect now is that an incoming 2.3.0 stream takes the interrupt it
had flagged but it's bios can't actually handle it(I think
partly due to the original interrupt not being taken during boot?).
The consequence is a triple(?) fault and a reboot.
Tested from:
2.3.1 -M 2.3.0
2.7.0 -M 2.3.0
2.8.0 -M 2.3.0
2.8.0 -M 2.8.0
This corresponds to RH bugzilla entry 1420679.

Call kvm_on_sigbus_vcpu asynchronously from the VCPU thread.
Information for the SIGBUS can be stored in thread-local variables
and processed later in kvm_cpu_exec.

Build it on kvm_arch_on_sigbus_vcpu instead. They do the same
for "action optional" SIGBUSes, and the main thread should never get
"action required" SIGBUSes because it blocks the signal.

Move the KVM "eat signals" code under CONFIG_LINUX, in preparation

This fixes timekeeping of x86-64 Darwin/OS X/macOS guests when using KVM.
Darwin/OS X/macOS for x86-64 uses the TSC for timekeeping; it normally calibrates this by querying various clock frequency scaling MSRs. Details depend on the exact CPU model detected. The local APIC timer frequency is extracted from (EFI) firmware.
This is problematic in the presence of virtualisation, as the MSRs in question are typically not handled by the hypervisor. VMWare (Fusion) advertises TSC and APIC frequency via a custom 0x40000010 CPUID leaf, in the eax and ebx registers respectively. This is documented at https://lwn.net/Articles/301888/ among other places.
Darwin/OS X/macOS looks for the generic 0x40000000 hypervisor leaf, and if this indicates via eax that leaf 0x40000010 might be available, that is in turn queried for the two frequencies.
This adds a CPU option "vmware-cpuid-freq" to enable the same behaviour when running Qemu with KVM acceleration, if the KVM TSC frequency can be determined, and it is stable. (invtsc or user-specified) The virtualised APIC bus cycle is hardcoded to 1GHz in KVM, so ebx of the CPUID leaf is also hardcoded to this value.

If a migration is already in progress and somebody attempts
to add a migration blocker, this should rightly fail.
Add an errp parameter and a retcode return value to migrate_add_blocker.

Merged with recent 'Allow invtsc migration' change
We can safely allow a VM to be migrated with invtsc enabled if
tsc-khz is set explicitly, because:
* QEMU already refuses to start if it can't set the TSC frequency
to the configured value.
* Management software is already required to keep device
configuration (including CPU configuration) the same on
migration source and destination.

Check for KVM_CAP_ADJUST_CLOCK capability KVM_CLOCK_TSC_STABLE, which
indicates that KVM_GET_CLOCK returns a value as seen by the guest at
that moment.
For new machine types, use this value rather than reading
from guest memory.
This reduces kvmclock difference on migration from 5s to 0.1s
(when max_downtime == 5s).

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.
