Introduce a "xen-load-devices-state" QAPI command that can be used to
load the state of all devices, but not the RAM or the block devices of
the VM.
We only have hmp commands savevm/loadvm, and qmp commands
xen-save-devices-state.
We use this new command for COLO:
1. suspend both primary vm and secondary vm
2. sync the state
3. resume both primary vm and secondary vm
In such case, we need to update all devices' state in any time.

Since f615f39 (exec: remove ram_addr argument from
qemu_ram_block_from_host), migration under Xen is likely to fail, with a
SEGV of QEMU. But the commit only reveal a bug with the calculation of
the offset value in qemu_ram_block_from_host().
This patch calculates the offset from the ram_addr as
qemu_ram_addr_from_host() will later calculate the ram_addr from the

The exception_action() function in user-exec.c is just a call to
cpu_loop_exit() for every target CPU except i386. Since this
function is only called if the target's handle_mmu_fault() hook has
indicated an MMU fault, and that hook is only called from the
handle_cpu_signal() code path, we can simply move the x86-specific
setup into that hook, which allows us to remove the TARGET_I386
ifdef from user-exec.c.
Of the actions that were done by the call to raise_interrupt_err():
* cpu_svm_check_intercept_param() is a no-op in user mode
* check_exception() is a no-op since double faults are impossible
for user-mode
* assignments to cs->exception_index and env->error_code are no-ops
* assigning to env->exception_next_eip is unnecessary because it
is not used unless env->exception_is_int is true
* cpu_loop_exit_restore() is equivalent to cpu_loop_exit() since
pc is 0
which leaves just setting env_>exception_is_int as the action that
needs to be added to x86_cpu_handle_mmu_fault().

Extracting the old signal mask from the usercontext pointer passed to
a signal handler is a pain because it is OS and CPU dependent.
Since we've already done it once and passed it to handle_cpu_signal(),
there's no need to do it again in cpu_exit_tb_from_sighandler().
This then means we don't need to pass a usercontext pointer in to
handle_cpu_signal() at all.

Since the only caller of page_unprotect() which might cause it to

Since this is the only caller of cpu_resume_from_signal() which

The user-mode-only function tb_invalidate_phys_page() is only
called from two places:
* page_unprotect(), which passes in a non-zero pc, a puc pointer
and the value 'true' for the locked argument
* page_set_flags(), which passes in a zero pc, a NULL puc pointer
and a 'false' locked argument
If the pc is non-zero then we may call cpu_resume_from_signal(),
which does a longjmp out of the calling code (and out of the
signal handler); this is to cover the case of a target CPU with
"precise self-modifying code" (currently only x86) executing
a store instruction which modifies code in the same TB as the
store itself. Rather than doing the longjump directly here,
return a flag to the caller which indicates whether the current
TB was modified, and move the longjump to page_unprotect.

In fork_end(), we must fix the list of current CPUs to match the fact
that the child of the fork has only one thread. Unfortunately we were
removing the wrong CPUs from the list, which meant that if the child
subsequently did an exclusive operation it would deadlock in
start_exclusive() waiting for a sibling CPU which didn't exist.

The l_start and l_len fields in the various target_flock structures are
supposed to be '__kernel_off_t' or '__kernel_loff_t', which means they
should be signed, not unsigned. Correcting the structure definitions means
that __get_user() and __put_user() will correctly sign extend them if
the guest is using 32 bit offsets and the host is using 64 bit offsets.
This fixes failures in the LTP 'fcntl14' tests where it checks that
negative seek offsets work correctly.
We reindent the structures to drop hard tabs since we're touching 40%
of the fields anyway.

The problem with excessive flushing was found by a couple of performance
tests:
- parallel directory tree creation (from 2 processes)
- 32 cached writes + fsync at the end in a loop
For the first one results improved from 2.6 loops/sec to 3.5 loops/sec.
Each loop creates 10^3 directories with 10 files in each.
For the second one results improved from ~600 fsync/sec to ~1100
fsync/sec. Though, it was run on SSD so it probably won't show such
performance gain on rotational media.
qcow2_cache_flush() calls bdrv_flush() unconditionally after writing
cache entries of a particular cache. This can lead to as many as
2 additional fdatasyncs inside bdrv_flush.
We can simply skip all fdatasync calls inside qcow2_co_flush_to_os
as bdrv_flush for sure will do the job. These flushes are necessary to
keep the right order of writes to the different caches. Though this is
not necessary in the current code base as this ordering is ensured through
the flush in qcow2_cache_flush_dependency().

This converts the loading part of block migration to use BlockBackend

Note that this takes a lazy shortcut. We should really use a separate
BlockBackend that is configured for the migration rather than for the
guest (e.g. writethrough caching is unnecessary) and holds its own
reference to the BlockDriverState, but the impact isn't that big and we
didn't have a separate migration reference before either, so it must be

Another step towards removing sector-based interfaces: convert
the maximum write and minimum alignment values from sectors to
bytes. Rename the variables to let the compiler check that all
users are converted to the new semantics.
The maximum remains an int as long as BDRV_REQUEST_MAX_SECTORS
is constrained by INT_MAX (this means that we can't even
support a 2G write_zeroes, but just under it) - changing
operation lengths to unsigned or to 64-bits is a much bigger
audit, and debatable if we even want to do it (since at the
core, a 32-bit platform will still have ssize_t as its
underlying limit on write()).
Meanwhile, alignment is changed to 'uint32_t', since it makes no
sense to have an alignment larger than the maximum write, and
less painful to use an unsigned type with well-defined behavior
in bit operations than to have to worry about what happens if
a driver mistakenly supplies a negative alignment.
Add an assert that no one was trying to use sectors to get a
write zeroes larger than 2G, and therefore that a later conversion
to bytes won't be impacted by keeping the limit at 32 bits.
