For "none" sync mode in "absolute-paths" mode, the current image should
be used as the backing file for the newly created image.
The current behavior is:
a) If the image to be mirrored has a backing file, use that (which is
wrong, since the operations recorded by "none" are applied to the
image itself, not to its backing file).
b) If the image to be mirrored lacks a backing file, the target doesn't
have one either (which is not really wrong, but not really right,
either; "none" records a set of operations executed on the image
file, therefore having no backing file to apply these operations on
seems rather pointless).
For a, this is clearly a bugfix. For b, it is still a bugfix, although
it might break existing API - but since that case crashed qemu just
three weeks ago (before 1452686495922b81d6cf43edf025c1aef15965c0), we

PPC: BookE: Make FIT/WDT timers at best millisecond grained
The default granularity for the FIT timer on 440 is on every 0x1000th
transition of TB from 0 to 1. Translated that means 48828 times a second.
Since interrupts are quite expensive for 440 and we don't really care
about the accuracy of the FIT to that significance, let's force FIT and
WDT to at best millisecond granularity.
This basically restores behavior as it was in QEMU 1.6, where timers
could only deal with millisecond granularities at all.
This patch greatly improves performance with the 440 target and restores
roughly the same performance level that QEMU 1.6 had for me.

PPC: Make BookE FIT/WDT timers more lazy
Today we fire FIT and WDT timer events every time the respective bit
position in TB flips from 0 -> 1.
However, there is no need to do this if the end result would be that
we're changing a TSR bit that is set to 1 to 1 again. No guest visible
change would have occured.
So whenever we see that the TSR bit to our timer is already set, don't
even bother to update the timer that would potentially fire it off.
However, we do need to make sure that we update our timer that notifies
us of the TB flip when the respective TSR bit gets unset. In that case
we do care about the flip and need to notify the guest again. So add
a callback into our timer handlers when TSR bits get unset.
This improves performance for me when the guest is busy processing things.

target-i386: yield to another VCPU on PAUSE
After commit b1bbfe7 (aio / timers: On timer modification, qemu_notify
or aio_notify, 2013-08-21) FreeBSD guests report a huge slowdown.
The problem shows up as soon as FreeBSD turns out its periodic (~1 ms)
tick, but the timers are only the trigger for a pre-existing problem.
Before the offending patch, setting a timer did a timer_settime system call.
After, setting the timer exits the event loop (which uses poll) and
reenters it with a new deadline. This does not cause any slowdown; the
difference is between one system call (timer_settime and a signal
delivery (SIGALRM) before the patch, and two system calls afterwards
(write to a pipe or eventfd + calling poll again when re-entering the
event loop).
Unfortunately, the exit/enter causes the main loop to grab the iothread
lock, which in turns kicks the VCPU thread out of execution. This
causes TCG to execute the next VCPU in its round-robin scheduling of
VCPUS. When the second VCPU is mostly unused, FreeBSD runs a "pause"
instruction in its idle loop which only burns cycles without any
progress. As soon as the timer tick expires, the first VCPU runs
the interrupt handler but very soon it sets it again---and QEMU
then goes back doing nothing in the second VCPU.
The fix is to make the pause instruction do "cpu_loop_exit".

pc: get rid of builtin pvpanic for "-M pc-1.5"
This causes two slight backwards-incompatibilities between "-M pc-1.5"
and 1.5's "-M pc":
(1) a fw_cfg file is removed with this patch. This is only a problem
if migration stops the virtual machine exactly during fw_cfg enumeration.
(2) after migration, a VM created without an explicit "-device pvpanic"
will stop reporting panics to management.
The first problem only occurs if migration is done at a very, very
early point (and I'm not sure it can happen in practice for reasonable-size
VMs, since it will likely take more time to send the RAM to destination,
than it will take for BIOS to scan fw_cfg).
The second problem only occurs if the guest panics _and_ has a guest
driver _and_ management knows to look at the crash event, so it is
mostly theoretical at this point in time.
Thus keep the code simple, and pretend it was never broken.

configure: Explicitly set ARFLAGS so we can build with GNU Make 4.0
Our rules.mak adds '-rR' to MAKEFLAGS to indicate that we will be
explicitly specifying everything and not relying on any default

default ARFLAGS ("rv"). This went unnoticed because of a bug in
GNU Make 3.82 and earlier which meant that adding -rR to MAKEFLAGS

Explicitly set ARFLAGS in config-host.mak, in the same way we
handle CFLAGS and LDFLAGS; this will allow us to work with
Make 4.0.
Thanks to Paul Smith for analyzing this bug for us.
Upstream OpenBIOS now implements SBus probing in order to determine the
contents of a physical bus slot, which is required to allow OpenBIOS to
identify the framebuffer without help from the fw_cfg interface.
SBus probing works by detecting the presence of an FCode program
(effectively tokenised Forth) at the base address of each slot, and if
present executes it so that it creates its own device node in the
OpenBIOS device tree.
The FCode ROM is generated as part of the OpenBIOS build and should
generally be updated at the same time.

Merge remote-tracking branch 'agraf/tags/signed-ppc-for-upstream-1.7' into staging
Patch queue for ppc - 2013-11-08
These are two patches that will hopefully make it into 1.7. The SLOF update
fixes -append kernel command line argument passing into the guest kernel. The
other patch makes VIO devices appear when using -device '?'.

migration: drop MADVISE_DONT_NEED for incoming zero pages
The madvise for zeroed out pages was introduced when every transferred
zero page was memset to zero and thus allocated. Since commit 211ea740 we check for zeroness of a target page before we memset
it to zero. Additionally we memmap target memory so it is essentially
zero initialized (except for e.g. option roms and bios which are loaded
into target memory although they shouldn't).
It was reported recently that this madvise causes a performance degradation
in some situations. As the madvise should only be called rarely and if it's called
it is likely on a busy page (it was non-zero and changed to zero during migration)
drop it completely.
As a result, "make check" now tries to use graphics (GTK or SDL). Since
graphics are not used by the test and inappropriate for headless "make
check" runs, add the missing -display none.
This fixes "make check" in the QEMU buildbot.

doc: fix hardcoded helper path
The install directory of qemu-bridge-helper is configurable,
but we use a fixed path in the documentation.
DEFAULT_BRIDGE_HELPER macro isn't available in texi mode,
we should always use "/path/to/" prefix for dynamic paths
(e.g.: /path/to/image, /path/to/linux, etc).
tcg-ia64: Avoid unnecessary stop bit in tcg_out_alu
When performing an operation with two input registers, we'd leave
the stop bit (and thus an extra cycle) that's only needed when one
or the other input is a constant.
Since the move away from the global areg0, we're no longer globally
reserving areg0. Which means our use of R7 clobbers a call-saved
register. Shift areg0 into the windowed registers. Indeed, choose
the incoming parameter register that it comes to us by.
This requires moving the register holding the return address elsewhere.
Choose R33 for tidiness.
There was a misconception that a stop bit is required between a compare
and the branch that uses the predicate set by the compare. This lead to
the usage of an extra bundle in which to perform the compare. The extra
bundle left room for constants to be loaded for use with the compare insn.
If we pack the compare and the branch together in the same bundle, then
there's no longer any room for non-zero constants. At which point we
can eliminate half the function by not handling them.
Using only indirect calls results in 3 bundles (one to load the
descriptor address), and 4 stop bits. By looking through the
descriptor to the constants, we can perform the call with 2
bundles and only 1 stop bit.
