  • Fix race condition on access to env->interrupt_request ...
    be214e6c 
    env->interrupt_request is accessed as the bit level from both main code
and signal handler, making a race condition possible even on CISC CPU.
This causes freeze of QEMU under high load when running the dyntick
clock.

The patch below move the bit corresponding to CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT in a
separate variable, declared as volatile sig_atomic_t, so it should be
work even on RISC CPU.

We may want to move the cpu_interrupt(env, CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT) case in
its own function and get rid of CPU_INTERRUPT_EXIT. That can be done
later, I wanted to keep the patch short for easier review.

  • Refactor and enhance break/watchpoint API (Jan Kiszka) ...
    a1d1bb31 
    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.

  • Add KVM support to QEMU ...
    7ba1e619 
    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.

  • Replace is_user variable with mmu_idx in softmmu core, ...
    6ebbf390 
    allowing support of more than 2 mmu access modes.
Add backward compatibility is_user variable in targets code when needed.
Implement per target cpu_mmu_index function, avoiding duplicated code
  and #ifdef TARGET_xxx in softmmu core functions.
Implement per target mmu modes definitions. As an example, add PowerPC
  hypervisor mode definition and Alpha executive and kernel modes definitions.
Optimize PowerPC case, precomputing mmu_idx when MSR register changes
  and using the same definition in code translation code.
