Hypervisors like KVM perform badly while doing mmio on
a loop, because it'll generate an exit on each access.
This is the case with VGA, which results in very bad
performance.
In this patch, we map the linear frame buffer as RAM,
make sure it has dirty region tracking enabled, and then
just let the region to be written.

Add another breakpoint/watchpoint type to BP_GDB: BP_CPU. This type is
intended for hardware-assisted break/watchpoint emulations like the x86
architecture requires.
To keep the highest priority for BP_GDB breakpoints, this type is
always inserted at the head of break/watchpoint lists, thus is found
first when looking up the origin of a debug interruption.

When one watchpoint is hit, others might have triggered as well. To

Now that we can properly restore the pc on watchpoint hits, there is no

In order to provide accurate information about the triggering
instruction, this patch adds the required bits to restore the pc if the
access happened inside a TB. With the BP_STOP_BEFORE_ACCESS flag, the
watchpoint user can control if the debug trap should be issued on or
after the accessing instruction.

This patch prepares the QEMU cpu_watchpoint/breakpoint API to allow the
succeeding enhancements this series comes with.
First of all, it overcomes MAX_BREAKPOINTS/MAX_WATCHPOINTS by switching
to dynamically allocated data structures that are kept in linked lists.
This also allows to return a stable reference to the related objects,
required for later introduced x86 debug register support.
Breakpoints and watchpoints are stored with their full information set
and an additional flag field that makes them easily extensible for use
beyond pure guest debugging.

This patch refactors the way the CPU state is handled that is associated
with a TB. The basic motivation is to move more arch specific code out
of generic files. Specifically the long #ifdef clutter in tb_find_fast()
has to be overcome in order to avoid duplicating it for the gdb
watchpoint fixes (patch "Restore pc on watchpoint hits").

Unfortunately, -linux-user doesn't use osdep as it replaces some of those
functions with specific ones. The code #ifdef code in exec.c needs to
remain in place so instead of introducing a qemu_getpagesize() let's just
use getpagesize() in the non-Windows implementation of qemu_vmalloc.

This patch adds very basic KVM support. KVM is a kernel module for Linux that
allows userspace programs to make use of hardware virtualization support. It
current supports x86 hardware virtualization using Intel VT-x or AMD-V. It
also supports IA64 VT-i, PPC 440, and S390.
This patch only implements the bare minimum support to get a guest booting. It
has very little impact the rest of QEMU and attempts to integrate nicely with
the rest of QEMU.
Even though this implementation is basic, it is significantly faster than TCG.
Booting and shutting down a Linux guest:
w/TCG: 1:32.36 elapsed 84% CPU
w/KVM: 0:31.14 elapsed 59% CPU
Right now, KVM is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled with
-enable-kvm. We can enable it by default later when we have had better
testing.

On some cases, such as under KVM, tb_invalidate_phys_page_range()
may be called for large addresses, when qemu is configured to more than
4GB of RAM.
On these cases, qemu was crashing because it was using an index too
large for l1_map[], that supports only 32-bit addresses when compiling
without CONFIG_USER_ONLY.

The IO index is now stored in its own field, instead of being wedged
into the vaddr field. This eliminates the ROMD and watchpoint host
pointer weirdness. The IO index space is expanded by 1 bit, and
several additional bits are made available in the TLB vaddr field.
