Setting the CPU affinity of QEMU threads is a bit problematic, because
QEMU doesn't always have permissions to set the CPU affinity itself,
for example, with seccomp after initialized by QEMU:
-sandbox enable=on,resourcecontrol=deny
General information about CPU affinities can be found in the man page of
taskset:
CPU affinity is a scheduler property that "bonds" a process to a given
set of CPUs on the system. The Linux scheduler will honor the given CPU
affinity and the process will not run on any other CPUs.
While upper layers are already aware of how to handle CPU affinities for
long-lived threads like iothreads or vcpu threads, especially short-lived
threads, as used for memory-backend preallocation, are more involved to
handle. These threads are created on demand and upper layers are not even
able to identify and configure them.
Introduce the concept of a ThreadContext, that is essentially a thread
used for creating new threads. All threads created via that context
thread inherit the configured CPU affinity. Consequently, it's
sufficient to create a ThreadContext and configure it once, and have all
threads created via that ThreadContext inherit the same CPU affinity.
The CPU affinity of a ThreadContext can be configured two ways:
(1) Obtaining the thread id via the "thread-id" property and setting the
CPU affinity manually (e.g., via taskset).
(2) Setting the "cpu-affinity" property and letting QEMU try set the
CPU affinity itself. This will fail if QEMU doesn't have permissions
to do so anymore after seccomp was initialized.
A simple QEMU example to set the CPU affinity to host CPU 0,1,6,7 would be:
qemu-system-x86_64 -S \
-object thread-context,id=tc1,cpu-affinity=0-1,cpu-affinity=6-7
And we can query it via HMP/QMP:
(qemu) qom-get tc1 cpu-affinity
[
0,
1,
6,
7
]
But note that due to dynamic library loading this example will not work
before we actually make use of thread_context_create_thread() in QEMU
code, because the type will otherwise not get registered. We'll wire
this up next to make it work.
In general, the interface behaves like pthread_setaffinity_np(): host
CPU numbers that are currently not available are ignored; only host CPU
numbers that are impossible with the current kernel will fail. If the
list of host CPU numbers does not include a single CPU that is
available, setting the CPU affinity will fail.
A ThreadContext can be reused, simply by reconfiguring the CPU affinity.
Note that the CPU affinity of previously created threads will not get
adjusted.

Usually, we let upper layers handle CPU pinning, because
pthread_setaffinity_np() (-> sched_setaffinity()) is blocked via
seccomp when starting QEMU with
-sandbox enable=on,resourcecontrol=deny
However, we want to configure and observe the CPU affinity of threads
from QEMU directly in some cases when the sandbox option is either not
enabled or not active yet.
So let's add a way to configure CPU pinning via
qemu_thread_set_affinity() and obtain CPU affinity via
qemu_thread_get_affinity() and implement them under POSIX using
pthread_setaffinity_np() + pthread_getaffinity_np().
Implementation under Windows is possible using SetProcessAffinityMask()
+ GetProcessAffinityMask(), however, that is left as future work.

close() is a *nix function. It works on any file descriptor, and
sockets in *nix are an example of a file descriptor.
closesocket() is a Windows-specific function, which works only
specifically with sockets. Sockets on Windows do not use *nix-style
file descriptors, and socket() returns a handle to a kernel object
instead, so it must be closed with closesocket().
In QEMU there is already a logic to handle such platform difference
in os-posix.h and os-win32.h, that:
* closesocket maps to close on POSIX
* closesocket maps to a wrapper that calls the real closesocket()
on Windows
Replace the call to close a socket with closesocket() instead.

Developers often run QEMU without installing. The bundle mechanism
allows to look up files which should be present in installation even in
such a situation.
It is a general mechanism and can find any files in the installation
tree. The build tree will have a new directory, qemu-bundle, to
represent what files the installation tree would have for reference by
the executables.
Note that it abandons compatibility with Windows older than 8. The
extended support for the prior version, 7 ended more than 2 years ago,
and it is unlikely that someone would like to run the latest QEMU on

Since commit f9fc8932b1 ("thread-posix: remove the posix semaphore
support", 2022-04-06) QemuSemaphore has its own mutex and condition
variable; this adds unnecessary overhead on I/O with small block sizes.
Check the QTAILQ directly instead of adding the indirection of a
semaphore's count. Using a semaphore has not been necessary since
qemu_cond_timedwait was introduced; the new code has to be careful about
spurious wakeups but it is simpler, for example thread_pool_cancel does
not have to worry about synchronizing the semaphore count with the number
of elements of pool->request_list.
Note that the return value of qemu_cond_timedwait (0 for timeout, 1 for
signal or spurious wakeup) is different from that of qemu_sem_timedwait
(-1 for timeout, 0 for success).

qemu_co_queue_restart_all is basically the same as qemu_co_enter_all
but without a QemuLockable argument. That's perfectly fine, but only as
long as the function is marked coroutine_fn. If used outside coroutine
context, qemu_co_queue_wait will attempt to take the lock and that
is just broken: if you are calling qemu_co_queue_restart_all outside
coroutine context, the lock is going to be a QemuMutex which cannot be
taken twice by the same thread.
The patch adds the marker to qemu_co_queue_restart_all and to its sole
non-coroutine_fn caller; it then reimplements the function in terms of
qemu_co_enter_all_impl, to remove duplicated code and to clarify that the
latter also works in coroutine context.

Because qemu_co_queue_restart_all does not release the lock, it should
be used only in coroutine context. Introduce a new function that,
like qemu_co_enter_next, does release the lock, and use it whenever
qemu_co_queue_restart_all was used outside coroutine context.

qemu_co_queue_next is basically the same as qemu_co_enter_next but
without a QemuLockable argument. That's perfectly fine, but only
as long as the function is marked coroutine_fn. If used outside
coroutine context, qemu_co_queue_wait will attempt to take the lock
and that is just broken: if you are calling qemu_co_queue_next outside
coroutine context, the lock is going to be a QemuMutex which cannot be
taken twice by the same thread.

Commit 4c41c69e changed the way the coroutine pool is sized because for
virtio-blk devices with a large queue size and heavy I/O, it was just
too small and caused coroutines to be deleted and reallocated soon
afterwards. The change made the size dynamic based on the number of
queues and the queue size of virtio-blk devices.
There are two important numbers here: Slightly simplified, when a
coroutine terminates, it is generally stored in the global release pool
up to a certain pool size, and if the pool is full, it is freed.
Conversely, when allocating a new coroutine, the coroutines in the
release pool are reused if the pool already has reached a certain
minimum size (the batch size), otherwise we allocate new coroutines.
The problem after commit 4c41c69e is that it not only increases the
maximum pool size (which is the intended effect), but also the batch
size for reusing coroutines (which is a bug). It means that in cases
with many devices and/or a large queue size (which defaults to the
number of vcpus for virtio-blk-pci), many thousand coroutines could be
sitting in the release pool without being reused.
This is not only a waste of memory and allocations, but it actually
makes the QEMU process likely to hit the vm.max_map_count limit on Linux
because each coroutine requires two mappings (its stack and the guard
page for the stack), causing it to abort() in qemu_alloc_stack() because
when the limit is hit, mprotect() starts to fail with ENOMEM.
In order to fix the problem, change the batch size back to 64 to avoid
uselessly accumulating coroutines in the release pool, but keep the
dynamic maximum pool size so that coroutines aren't freed too early
in heavy I/O scenarios.
Note that this fix doesn't strictly make it impossible to hit the limit,
but this would only happen if most of the coroutines are actually in use
at the same time, not just sitting in a pool. This is the same behaviour
as we already had before commit 4c41c69e. Fully preventing this would
require allowing qemu_coroutine_create() to return an error, but it
doesn't seem to be a scenario that people hit in practice.

It's true that these functions currently affect the batch size in which
coroutines are reused (i.e. moved from the global release pool to the
allocation pool of a specific thread), but this is a bug and will be
fixed in a separate patch.
In fact, the comment in the header file already just promises that it
influences the pool size, so reflect this in the name of the functions.
As a nice side effect, the shorter function name makes some line
wrapping unnecessary.

The thread pool regulates itself: when idle, it kills threads until
empty, when in demand, it creates new threads until full. This behaviour
doesn't play well with latency sensitive workloads where the price of
creating a new thread is too high. For example, when paired with qemu's
'-mlock', or using safety features like SafeStack, creating a new thread
has been measured take multiple milliseconds.
In order to mitigate this let's introduce a new 'EventLoopBase'
property to set the thread pool size. The threads will be created during
the pool's initialization or upon updating the property's value, remain
available during its lifetime regardless of demand, and destroyed upon
freeing it. A properly characterized workload will then be able to
configure the pool to avoid any latency spikes.

'event-loop-base' provides basic property handling for all 'AioContext'
based event loops. So let's define a new 'MainLoopClass' that inherits
from it. This will permit tweaking the main loop's properties through
qapi as well as through the command line using the '-object' keyword[1].
Only one instance of 'MainLoopClass' might be created at any time.
'EventLoopBaseClass' learns a new callback, 'can_be_deleted()' so as to
mark 'MainLoop' as non-deletable.
[1] For example:
-object main-loop,id=main-loop,aio-max-batch=<value>

Thread-Local Storage variables cannot be used directly from coroutine
code because the compiler may optimize TLS variable accesses across
qemu_coroutine_yield() calls. When the coroutine is re-entered from
another thread the TLS variables from the old thread must no longer be
used.
Use QEMU_DEFINE_STATIC_CO_TLS() for the current and leader variables.
I think coroutine-win32.c could get away with __thread because the
variables are only used in situations where either the stale value is
correct (current) or outside coroutine context (loading leader when
current is NULL). Due to the difficulty of being sure that this is
really safe in all scenarios it seems worth converting it anyway.

The alloc_pool QSLIST needs a typedef so the return value of
get_ptr_alloc_pool() can be stored in a local variable.
One example of why this code is necessary: a coroutine that yields
before calling qemu_coroutine_create() to create another coroutine is
affected by the TLS issue.
