This hides the tcg_halt_cond and tcg_cpu_thread global variables
inside qemu_tcg_init_vcpu. Multi-threaded TCG will need one
QemuCond and one QemuThread per virtual cpu, so it's preferrable
to use cpu->halt_cond and cpu->thread.

Signals are slow and do not exist on Win32. The previous patches
have done most of the legwork to introduce memory barriers (some
of them were even there already for the sake of Windows!) and
we can now set the flags directly in the iothread.
qemu_cpu_kick_thread is not used anymore on TCG, since the TCG thread is
never outside usermode while the CPU is running (not halted). Instead run
the content of the signal handler (now in qemu_cpu_kick_no_halt) directly.
qemu_cpu_kick_no_halt is also used in qemu_mutex_lock_iothread to avoid
the overhead of qemu_cond_broadcast.

Use the same API to trigger interruption of a CPU, no matter if
under TCG or KVM. There is no difference: these calls come from
the CPU thread, so the qemu_cpu_kick calls will send a signal
to the running thread and it will be processed synchronously,
just like a call to cpu_exit. The only difference is in the
overhead, but neither call to cpu_exit (now qemu_cpu_kick)
is in a hot path.

This is already useful on Windows in order to remove tls.h, because

When QEMU starts the RCU thread executes qemu_mutex_lock_thread
causing error "qemu:qemu_cpu_kick_thread: No such process" and exits.
This isn't occur frequently but in glibc the thread id can exist and
this not guarantee that the thread is on active/running state. If is
inserted a sleep(1) after newthread assignment [1] the issue appears.
So not make assumption that thread exist if first_cpu->thread is set
then change the validation of cpu to created that is set into cpu
threads (kvm, tcg, dummy).

After commit 626cf8f (icount: set can_do_io outside TB execution,
2014-12-08), can_do_io is set to 1 if not executing code. It is
no longer necessary to make this assumption in cpu_can_do_io.
It is also possible to remove the use_icount test, simply by
never setting cpu->can_do_io to 0 unless use_icount is true.
With these changes cpu_can_do_io boils down to a read of
cpu->can_do_io.

This function will be used to avoid recursive locking of the iothread lock
whenever address_space_rw/ld*/st* are called with the BQL held, which is
almost always the case.
Tracking whether the iothread is owned is very cheap (just use a TLS
variable) but requires some care because now the lock must always be
taken with qemu_mutex_lock_iothread(). Previously this wasn't the case.
Outside TCG mode this is not a problem. In TCG mode, we need to be
careful and avoid the "prod out of compiled code" step if already
in a VCPU thread. This is easily done with a check on current_cpu,
i.e. qemu_in_vcpu_thread().
Hopefully, multithreaded TCG will get rid of the whole logic to kick
VCPUs whenever an I/O event occurs!

following a464982499b2f637f6699e3d03e0a9d2e0b5288b, it's now possible for
there to be attempts to take the BQL before CPUs have been realized in
cases where a machine model inits peripherals before the first CPU.
BQL lock aquisition kicks the first_cpu, leading to a segfault if this
happens pre-realize. Guard the CPU kick routine to perform no action for
a CPU that doesn't exist or doesn't have a thread yet.
There was a fix to this with commit
6b49809c597331803ea941eadda813e5bb4e8fe2, but the check there misses
the case where the CPU has been inited and not realized. Strengthen the
check to make sure that the first_cpu has a thread (i.e. it is
realized) before allowing the kick.

2ed1ebcf6 "timer: replace time() with QEMU_CLOCK_HOST" broke compile
when configured with --enable-profiler. Turned out the profiler has been
broken for a while.
This does s/qemu_time/tcg_time/ as the profiler only works in a TCG mode.
This also fixes the compile error.
This changes profile_getclock() to return nanoseconds rather than
CPU ticks as the "profile" HMP command prints seconds and there is no
platform-independent way to get ticks-per-second rate.
Since TCG is quite slow and get_clock() returns nanoseconds (fine
enough), this should not affect precision much.
This removes unused qemu_time_start and tlb_flush_time.

When requesting a size which cannot be read, the error message shows

thread 2 calls qemu_mutex_lock_iothread
VCPU thread are created
VCPU thread enters execution loop
results in the VCPU threads letting the other two threads run
and obeying iothread_requesting_mutex even if the VCPUs are
not halted. To do this, check iothread_requesting_mutex
before execution starts.

When two threads (other than the low-priority TCG VCPU thread)
are competing for the iothread lock, a deadlock can happen. This
is because iothread_requesting_mutex is set to false by the first
thread that gets the mutex, and then the VCPU thread might never
yield from the execution loop. If iothread_requesting_mutex is
changed from a bool to a counter, the deadlock is fixed.
However, there is another bug in qemu_mutex_lock_iothread that
can be triggered by the new call_rcu thread. The bug happens
if qemu_mutex_lock_iothread is called before the CPUs are
created. In that case, first_cpu is NULL and the caller
segfaults in qemu_mutex_lock_iothread. To fix this, just
do not do the kick if first_cpu is NULL.

This implements an NMI interface for s390 and s390-ccw machines.
This removes #ifdef s390 branch in qmp_inject_nmi so new s390's
nmi_monitor_handler() callback is going to be used for NMI.
Since nmi_monitor_handler()-calling code is platform independent,
CPUState::cpu_index is used instead of S390CPU::env.cpu_num.
There should not be any change in behaviour as both @cpu_index and
@cpu_num are global CPU numbers.
Note that s390_cpu_restart() already takes care of the specified cpu,
so we don't need to schedule via async_run_on_cpu().
Since the only error s390_cpu_restart() can return is ENOSYS, convert

This introduces an NMI (Non Maskable Interrupt) interface with

implement it. This searches for an QOM object with this interface
and if it is implemented, calls it. The callback implements an action
required to cause debug crash dump on in-kernel debugger invocation.
The callback returns Error**.
This adds a nmi_monitor_handle() helper which walks through
all objects to find the interface. The interface method is called
for all found instances.
This adds support for it in qmp_inject_nmi(). Since no architecture
supports it at the moment, there is no change in behaviour.

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).

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.

This adds cpu_icount_to_ns function which is needed for reverse execution.
It returns the time for a specific instruction.

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.

This puts qemu_icount and qemu_icount_bias into TimerState structure to allow
them to be migrated.
