The purpose of this new crate is to provide a common library to all
vhost-user backend implementations. The more is handled by this library,
the less duplication will need to happen in each vhost-user daemon.
This crate relies a lot on vhost_rs, vm-memory and vm-virtio crates.

These are part of RAM and are used as the initial page table entries for

Using the existing layout module start documenting the major regions of
RAM and those areas that are reserved. Some of the constants have also
been renamed to be more consistent and some functions that returned
constant variables have been replaced.
Future commits will move more constants into this file to make it the
canonical source of information about the memory layout.

Updated clippy does not like the declaration of a "to_string()" function
and instead requires fmt::Display to be implemented.
Signed-off-by: Rob Bradford <robert.bradford@intel.com>
clippy wants us to use "if let Some(fd) = fd {}" but to combine that
with && is an experimental feature.

We now start the main VMM thread, which will be listening for VM and IPC
related events.
In order to start the configured VM, we no longer directly call the VM
API but we use the IPC instead, to first create and then start a VM.

Based on the newly defined Cloud Hypervisor IPC, those helpers send
VmCreate and VmStart requests respectively. This will be used by the
main thread to create and start a VM based on the CLI parameters.

This starts the main, single VMM thread, which:
1. Creates the VMM instance
2. Starts the VMM control loop
3. Manages the VMM control loop exits for handling resets and shutdowns.

Unlike the Vmm structure we removed with commit bdfd1a3f, this new one
is really meant to represent the VM monitoring/management object.
For that, we implement a control loop that will replace the one that's
currently embedded within the Vm structure itself.
This will allow us to decouple the VM lifecycle management from the VM
object itself, by having a constantly running VMM control loop.
Besides the VM specific events (exit, reset, stdin for now), the VMM
control loop also handles all the Cloud Hypervisor IPC requests.

The VMM thread and control loop will be the sole consumer of the
EpollContext and EpollDispatch API, so let's move it to lib.rs.

Cloud Hypervisor IPC is a simple, mpsc based protocol for threads to
send command to the furture VMM thread. This patch adds the API
definition for that IPC, which will be used by both the main thread
to e.g. start a new VM based on the CLI arguments and the future HTTP
server to relay external requests received from a local Unix domain
socket.
We are moving it to its own "api" module because this is where the
external API (HTTP based) will also be implemented.
The VMM thread will be listening for IPC requests from an mpsc receiver,
process them and send a response back through another mpsc channel.

As we're going to move the control loop to the VMM thread, the exit and
reset EventFds are no longer going to be owned by the VM.
We pass a copy of them when creating the Vm instead.

In order to handle the VM STDIN stream from a separate VMM thread
without having to export the DeviceManager, we simply add a console
handling method to the Vm structure.

In order to transfer the control loop to a separate VMM thread, we want
to shrink the VM control loop to a bare minimum.

Once passed to the VM creation routine, a VmConfig structure is
immutable. We can simply carry a Arc of it instead of a reference.
This also allows us to remove any lifetime bound from our VM.

The Vmm structure is just a placeholder for the KVM instance. We can
create it directly from the VM creation routine instead.

We can integrate the kernel loading into the VM start method.
The VM start flow is then: Vm::new() -> vm.start(), which feels more
natural.

Convert Path to PathBuf and remove the associated lifetime.
Now we can remove the VmConfig associated lifetime.

Now that vhost-user has been fixed regarding size of the virtqueues,
booting a VM with the firmware from a vhost-user-blk backend actually
works. That's why this commit updates the previously introduced
integration test to make it use the firmware instead of direct kernel
boot.
Signed-off-by: Sebastien Boeuf <sebastien.boeuf@intel.com>
The vhost-user implementation was always passing the maximum size
supported by the virtqueues to the backend, but this is obviously wrong
as it must pass the size being set by the driver running in the guest.

The 32 or 64 bits type for the memory BAR was not set correctly. This
patch ensure the right type is applied to the BAR.

If we expect the vhost-user-blk device to be used for booting a VMM
along with the firmware, then need the device to support being reset.
In the vhost-user context, this means the backend needs to be informed
the vrings are disabled and stopped, and the owner needs to be reset
too.
