Replace the global variables with inlined helper functions. getpagesize() is very
likely annotated with a "const" function attribute (at least with glibc), and thus
optimization should apply even better.
This avoids the need for a constructor initialization too.

The qemu_try_memalign() functions for POSIX and Windows used to be
significantly different, but these days they are identical except for
the actual allocation function called, and the POSIX version already
has to have ifdeffery for different allocation functions.
Move to a single implementation in memalign.c, which uses the Windows
_aligned_malloc if we detect that function in meson.

Currently qemu_try_memalign()'s behaviour if asked to allocate
0 bytes is rather variable:
* on Windows, we will assert
* on POSIX platforms, we get the underlying behaviour of
the posix_memalign() or equivalent function, which may be
either "return a valid non-NULL pointer" or "return NULL"
Explictly check for 0 byte allocations, so we get consistent
behaviour across platforms. We handle them by incrementing the size
so that we return a valid non-NULL pointer that can later be passed
to qemu_vfree(). This is permitted behaviour for the
posix_memalign() API and is the most usual way that underlying
malloc() etc implementations handle a zero-sized allocation request,
because it won't trip up calling code that assumes NULL means an
error. (This includes our own qemu_memalign(), which will abort on
NULL.)
This change is a preparation for sharing the qemu_try_memalign() code
between Windows and POSIX.

We implement qemu_memalign() in both oslib-posix.c and oslib-win32.c,
but the two versions are essentially the same: they call
qemu_try_memalign(), and abort() after printing an error message if
it fails. The only difference is that the win32 version prints the
GetLastError() value whereas the POSIX version prints
strerror(errno). However, this is a bug in the win32 version: in
commit dfbd0b873a in 2020 we changed the implementation of
qemu_try_memalign() from using VirtualAlloc() (which sets the
GetLastError() value) to using _aligned_malloc() (which sets errno),
but didn't update the error message to match.
Replace the two separate functions with a single version in a
new memalign.c file, which drops the unnecessary extra qemu_oom_check()
function and instead prints a more useful message including the
requested size and alignment as well as the errno string.

Temporarily modifying the SIGBUS handler is really nasty, as we might be
unlucky and receive an MCE SIGBUS while having our handler registered.
Unfortunately, there is no way around messing with SIGBUS when
MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is not applicable or not around.
Let's forward SIGBUS that don't belong to us to the already registered
handler and document the situation.

Add a mutex to protect the SIGBUS case, as we cannot mess concurrently
with the sigbus handler and we have to manage the global variable
sigbus_memset_context. The MADV_POPULATE_WRITE path can run
concurrently.
Note that page_mutex and page_cond are shared between concurrent
invocations, which shouldn't be a problem.
This is a preparation for future virtio-mem prealloc code, which will call
os_mem_prealloc() asynchronously from an iothread when handling guest

Let's sense support and use it for preallocation. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
does not require a SIGBUS handler, doesn't actually touch page content,
and avoids context switches; it is, therefore, faster and easier to handle
than our current approach.
While MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is, in general, faster than manual
prefaulting, and especially faster with 4k pages, there is still value in
prefaulting using multiple threads to speed up preallocation.
More details on MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be found in the Linux commits
4ca9b3859dac ("mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault
page tables") and eb2faa513c24 ("mm/madvise: report SIGBUS as -EFAULT for
MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE)"), and in the man page proposal [1].
This resolves the TODO in do_touch_pages().
In the future, we might want to look into using fallocate(), eventually
combined with MADV_POPULATE_READ, when dealing with shared file/fd
mappings and not caring about memory bindings.

Let's introduce RAM_NORESERVE, allowing mmap'ing with MAP_NORESERVE. The
new flag has the following semantics:
"
RAM is mmap-ed with MAP_NORESERVE. When set, reserving swap space (or huge
pages if applicable) is skipped: will bail out if not supported. When not
set, the OS will do the reservation, if supported for the memory type.
"
Allow passing it into:
- memory_region_init_ram_nomigrate()
- memory_region_init_resizeable_ram()
- memory_region_init_ram_from_file()
... and teach qemu_ram_mmap() and qemu_anon_ram_alloc() about the flag.
Bail out if the flag is not supported, which is the case right now for
both, POSIX and win32. We will add Linux support next and allow specifying
RAM_NORESERVE via memory backends.
The target use case is virtio-mem, which dynamically exposes memory
inside a large, sparse memory area to the VM.

Let's pass flags instead of bools to prepare for passing other flags and
update the documentation of qemu_ram_mmap(). Introduce new QEMU_MAP_
flags that abstract the mmap() PROT_ and MAP_ flag handling and simplify
it.
We expose only flags that are currently supported by qemu_ram_mmap().
Maybe, we'll see qemu_mmap() in the future as well that can implement these
flags.
Note: We don't use MAP_ flags as some flags (e.g., MAP_SYNC) are only
defined for some systems and we want to always be able to identify
these flags reliably inside qemu_ram_mmap() -- for example, to properly
warn when some future flags are not available or effective on a system.
Also, this way we can simplify PROT_ handling as well.

There is currently no way to open(O_RDONLY) and mmap(PROT_READ) when
creating a memory region from a file. This functionality is needed since
the underlying host file may not allow writing.
Add a bool readonly argument to memory_region_init_ram_from_file() and
the APIs it calls.
Extend memory_region_init_ram_from_file() rather than introducing a
memory_region_init_rom_from_file() API so that callers can easily make a
choice between read/write and read-only at runtime without calling
different APIs.
No new RAMBlock flag is introduced for read-only because it's unclear
whether RAMBlocks need to know that they are read-only. Pass a bool
readonly argument instead.
Both of these design decisions can be changed in the future. It just
seemed like the simplest approach to me.

LLVM/Clang, supports runtime checks for forward-edge Control-Flow
Integrity (CFI).
CFI on indirect function calls (cfi-icall) ensures that, in indirect
function calls, the function called is of the right signature for the
pointer type defined at compile time.
For this check to work, the code must always respect the function
signature when using function pointer, the function must be defined
at compile time, and be compiled with link-time optimization.
This rules out, for example, shared libraries that are dynamically loaded
(given that functions are not known at compile time), and code that is
dynamically generated at run-time.
This patch:
1) Introduces the CONFIG_CFI flag to support cfi in QEMU
2) Introduces a decorator to allow the definition of "sensitive"
functions, where a non-instrumented function may be called at runtime
through a pointer. The decorator will take care of disabling cfi-icall
checks on such functions, when cfi is enabled.
3) Marks functions currently in QEMU that exhibit such behavior,
in particular:
- The function in TCG that calls pre-compiled TBs
- The function in TCI that interprets instructions
- Functions in the plugin infrastructures that jump to callbacks
- Functions in util that directly call a signal handler
