backends: Introduce chr-testdev

From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

chr-testdev enables a virtio serial channel to be used for guest
initiated qemu exits. hw/misc/debugexit already enables guest
initiated qemu exits, but only for PC targets. chr-testdev supports
any virtio-capable target. kvm-unit-tests/arm is already making use
of this backend.

Currently there is a single command implemented, "q".  It takes a
(prefix) argument for the exit code, thus an exit is implemented by
writing, e.g. "1q", to the virtio-serial port.

It can be used as:
   $QEMU ... \
     -device virtio-serial-device \
     -device virtserialport,chardev=ctd -chardev testdev,id=ctd

or, use:
   $QEMU ... \
     -device virtio-serial-device \
     -device virtconsole,chardev=ctd -chardev testdev,id=ctd

to bind it to virtio-serial port0.

migration: migrate icount fields.

This fixes a bug where qemu_icount and qemu_icount_bias are not migrated.
It adds a subsection "timer/icount" to vmstate_timers so icount is migrated only
when needed.

icount: Fix virtual clock start value on ARM

When using the icount option on ARM, the virtual
clock starts counting at realtime clock but it
should start at 0.

The reason why the virtual clock starts at realtime clock
is because the first time we call qemu_clock_warp (which
calls icount_warp_rt) in tcg_exec_all, qemu_icount_bias
(which is part of the virtual time computation mechanism)
will increment by realtime - vm_clock_warp_start, with
vm_clock_warp_start being 0 (see icount_warp_rt in cpus.c).

By changing the value of vm_clock_warp_start from 0 to -1,
the first time we call qemu_clock_warp which calls
icount_warp_rt, we will return immediatly because
icount_warp_rt first checks if vm_clock_warp_start is -1
and if it's the case it returns. Therefore, qemu_icount_bias
will first be incremented by the value of a virtual timer
deadline when the virtual cpu goes from active to inactive.

The virtual time will start at 0 and increment based
on the instruction counter when the vcpu is active or
the qemu_icount_bias value when inactive.

cpu-exec: Add sleeping algorithm

The goal is to sleep qemu whenever the guest clock
is in advance compared to the host clock (we use
the monotonic clocks). The amount of time to sleep
is calculated in the execution loop in cpu_exec.

At first, we tried to approximate at each for loop the real time elapsed
while searching for a TB (generating or retrieving from cache) and
executing it. We would then approximate the virtual time corresponding
to the number of virtual instructions executed. The difference between
these 2 values would allow us to know if the guest is in advance or delayed.
However, the function used for measuring the real time
(qemu_clock_get_ns(QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME)) proved to be very expensive.
We had an added overhead of 13% of the total run time.

Therefore, we modified the algorithm and only take into account the
difference between the 2 clocks at the begining of the cpu_exec function.
During the for loop we try to reduce the advance of the guest only by
computing the virtual time elapsed and sleeping if necessary. The overhead
is thus reduced to 3%. Even though this method still has a noticeable
overhead, it no longer is a bottleneck in trying to achieve a better
guest frequency for which the guest clock is faster than the host one.

As for the the alignement of the 2 clocks, with the first algorithm
the guest clock was oscillating between -1 and 1ms compared to the host clock.
Using the second algorithm we notice that the guest is 5ms behind the host, which
is still acceptable for our use case.

The tests where conducted using fio and stress. The host machine in an i5 CPU at
3.10GHz running Debian Jessie (kernel 3.12). The guest machine is an arm versatile-pb
built with buildroot.

Currently, on our test machine, the lowest icount we can achieve that is suitable for
aligning the 2 clocks is 6. However, we observe that the IO tests (using fio) are
slower than the cpu tests (using stress).

cpu-exec: Print to console if the guest is late

If the align option is enabled, we print to the user whenever
the guest clock is behind the host clock in order for he/she
to have a hint about the actual performance. The maximum
print interval is 2s and we limit the number of messages to 100.
If desired, this can be changed in cpu-exec.c

target-mips: Ignore unassigned accesses with KVM

MIPS registers an unassigned access handler which raises a guest bus
error exception. However this causes QEMU to crash when KVM is enabled
as it isn't called from the main execution loop so longjmp() gets called
without a corresponding setjmp().

Until the KVM API can be updated to trigger a guest exception in
response to an MMIO exit, prevent the bus error exception being raised
from mips_cpu_unassigned_access() if KVM is enabled.

The check is at run time since the do_unassigned_access callback is
initialised before it is known whether KVM will be enabled.

The problem can be triggered with Malta emulation by making the guest
write to the reset region at physical address 0x1bf00000, since it is
marked read-only which is treated as unassigned for writes.

qga: Add guest-fsfreeze-freeze-list command

of guest-fsfreeze-freeze-list, qemu-ga will only freeze the file systems
mounted on specified paths in Linux guests. Otherwise, it works as the
same way as guest-fsfreeze-freeze.

qga: Add guest-get-fsinfo command

Add command to get mounted filesystems information in the guest.
The returned value contains a list of mountpoint paths and
corresponding disks info such as disk bus type, drive address,
and the disk controllers' PCI addresses, so that management layer
such as libvirt can resolve the disk backends.

For example, when `lsblk' result is:

    NAME           MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
    sdb              8:16   0    1G  0 disk

      `-vg0-lv0    253:1    0  1.4G  0 lvm  /mnt/test
    sdc              8:32   0    1G  0 disk
    `-sdc1           8:33   0  512M  0 part

    `-vda1         252:1    0   25G  0 part /

where sdb is a SCSI disk with PCI controller 0000:00:0a.0 and ID=1,
      sdc is an IDE disk with PCI controller 0000:00:01.1, and
      vda is a virtio-blk disk with PCI device 0000:00:06.0,

guest-get-fsinfo command will return the following result:

    {"return":
     [{"name":"dm-1",
       "mountpoint":"/mnt/test",
       "disk":[
        {"bus-type":"scsi","bus":0,"unit":1,"target":0,

In Linux guest, the disk information is resolved from sysfs. So far,
it only supports virtio-blk, virtio-scsi, IDE, SATA, SCSI disks on x86
hosts, and "disk" parameter may be empty for unsupported disk types.
