Pvmemcontrol provides a way for the guest to control its physical memory
properties, and enables optimizations and security features. For
example, the guest can provide information to the host where parts of a
hugepage may be unbacked, or sensitive data may not be swapped out, etc.
Pvmemcontrol allows guests to manipulate its gPTE entries in the SLAT,
and also some other properties of the memory map the back's host memory.
This is achieved by using the KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU capability. When this
capability is available, the changes in the backing of the memory region
on the host are automatically reflected into the guest. For example, an
mmap() or madvise() that affects the region will be made visible
immediately.
There are two components of the implementation: the guest Linux driver
and Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) device. A guest-allocated shared
buffer is negotiated per-cpu through a few PCI MMIO registers, the VMM
device assigns a unique command for each per-cpu buffer. The guest
writes its pvmemcontrol request in the per-cpu buffer, then writes the
corresponding command into the command register, calling into the VMM
device to perform the pvmemcontrol request.
The synchronous per-cpu shared buffer approach avoids the kick and busy
waiting that the guest would have to do with virtio virtqueue transport.
The Cloud Hypervisor component can be enabled with --pvmemcontrol.

Users can use this parameter to pass extra paths that 'vmm' and its
child threads can use at runtime. Hotplug is the primary usecase for
this parameter.
In order to hotplug devices that use local files: disks, memory zones,
pmem devices etc, users can use this option to pass the path/s that will
be used during hotplug while starting cloud-hypervisor. Doing this will
allow landlock to add required rules to grant access to these paths when

Whenever the file descriptor table is full, Linux expands it by doubling
it's size.
The filesystem code that does this uses RCU synchronization to ensure
all pre-existing RCU read-side critical sections have completed. The
latency induced by this synchronization is a big part of the total time
required to restore a snapshot.
The kernel has an optimization in code, where it doesn't call
synchronize_rcu() if there is only one thread in the process. We can
take advantage of this optimization by expanding the descriptor table at
the application start, when it has only one thread.
This commit tries to expand the table to 4096 entries, this way we avoid
any expansion that could take place later.

When a guest running on a terminal reboots, the sigwinch_listener
subprocess exits and a new one restarts. The parent never wait()s
for children, so the old subprocess remains as a zombie. With further
reboots, more and more zombies build up.
As there are no other children for which we want the exit status,
the easiest fix is to take advantage of the implicit reaping specified
by POSIX when we set the disposition of SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN.
For this to work, we also need to set the correct default exit signal
of SIGCHLD when using clone3() CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND. Unlike the fallback
fork() path, clone_args::default() initialises the exit signal to zero,
which results in a child with non-standard reaping behaviour.

This commit adds the debug-console (or debugcon) device to CHV. It is a
very simple device on I/O port 0xe9 supported by QEMU and BOCHS. It is
meant for printing information as easy as possible, without any
necessary configuration from the guest at all.
It is primarily interesting to OS/kernel and firmware developers as they
can produce output as soon as the guest starts without any configuration
of a serial device or similar. Furthermore, a kernel hacker might use
this device for information of type B whereas information of type A are
printed to the serial device.
This device is not used by default by Linux, Windows, or any other
"real" OS, but only by toy kernels and during firmware development.
In the CLI, it can be configured similar to --console or --serial with
the --debug-console parameter.

Uses of the old ApiRequest enum conflated two different concerns:
identifying an API request endpoint, and storing data for an API
request. This led to ApiRequest values being passed around with junk
data just to communicate a request type, which forced all API request
body types to implement Default, which in some cases doesn't make any
sense — what's the "default" path for a vhost-user socket? The
nonsensical Default values have led to tests relying on being able to
use nonsensical data, which is an impediment to adding better
validation for these types.
Rather than having API request types be represented by an enum, which
has to carry associated body data everywhere it's used, it makes more
sense to represent API request types as trait objects. These can have
an associated type for the type of the request body, and this makes it
possible to pass API request types and data around as siblings in a
type-safe way without forcing them into a single value even where it
doesn't make sense. Trait objects also give us dynamic dispatch,
which lets us get rid of several large match blocks.
To keep it possible to fuzz the HTTP API, all the Vmm methods called
by the HTTP API are pulled out into a trait, so the fuzzer can provide
its own stub implementation of the VMM.

Add a 'rate_limit_groups' field to VmConfig that defines a set of
named RateLimiterGroups.
When the 'rate_limit_group' field of DiskConfig is defined, all
virtio-blk queues will be rate-limited by a shared RateLimiterGroup.
The lifecycle of all RateLimiterGroups is tied to the Vm.
A RateLimiterGroup may exist even if no Disks are configured to use
the RateLimiterGroup. Disks may be hot-added or hot-removed from the
RateLimiterGroup.
When the 'rate_limiter' field of DiskConfig is defined, we construct
an anonymous RateLimiterGroup whose lifecycle is tied to the Disk.
This is primarily done for api backwards compatability. Importantly,
the behavior is not the same! This implementation rate_limits the
aggregate bandwidth / iops of an individual disk rather than the
bandwidth / iops of an individual queue of a disk.
When neither the 'rate_limit_group' or the 'rate_limiter' fields of
DiskConfig is defined, the Disk is not rate-limited.

This patch adds igvm to the Vm config and params as well as
the command line argument to pass igvm file to load into
guest memory. The file must maintain the IGVM format.
The CLI option is featured guarded by igvm feature gate.
The IGVM(Independent Guest Virtual Machine) file format
is designed to encapsulate all information required to
launch a virtual machine on any given virtualization stack,
with support for different isolation technologies such as
AMD SEV-SNP and Intel TDX.
At a conceptual level, this file format is a set of commands created
by the tool that generated the file, used by the loader to construct
the initial guest state. The file format also contains measurement
information that the underlying platform will use to confirm that
the file was loaded correctly and signed by the appropriate authorities.
The IGVM file is generated by the tool:

This patch modifies `event_monitor` to ensure that concurrent access to
`event_log` from multiple threads is safe. Previously, the `event_log`
function would acquire a reference to the event log file and write
to it without doing any synchronization, which made it prone to
data races. This issue likely went under the radar because the
relevant `SAFETY` comment on the unsafe block was incomplete.
The new implementation spawns a dedicated thread named `event-monitor`
solely for writing to the file. It uses the MPMC channel exposed by
`flume` to pass messages to the `event-monitor` thread. Since
`flume::Sender<T>` implements `Sync`, it is safe for multiple threads
to share it and send messages to the `event-monitor` thread.
This is not possible with `std::sync::mpsc::Sender<T>` since it's
`!Sync`, meaning it is not safe for it to be shared between different
threads.
The `event_monitor::set_monitor` function now only initializes
the required global state and returns an instance of the
`Monitor` struct. This decouples the actual logging logic from the
`event_monitor` crate. The `event-monitor` thread is then spawned by
the `vmm` crate.
