qemu: fix recording of vCPU pids for MTTCG

Browse Source 
MTTCG is the new multi-threaded impl of TCG which follows
KVM in having one host OS thread per vCPU. Historically
we have discarded all PIDs reported for TCG guests, but
we must now selectively honour this data.

We don't have anything in the domain XML that indicates
whether a guest is using TCG or MTTCG. While QEMU does
have an option (-accel tcg,thread=single|multi), it is
not desirable to expose this in libvirt. QEMU will
automatically use MTTCG when the host/guest architecture
pairing is known to be safe. Only developers of QEMU TCG
have a strong reason to override this logic.

Thus we use two sanity checks to decide if the vCPU
PID information is usable. First we see if the PID
duplicates the main emulator PID, and second we see
if the PID duplicates any other vCPUs.

* The query-cpus[-fast] commands return information

*
* For KVM there is always a 1-1 mapping between
* vCPUs and host OS PIDs.
*
* For TCG things are a little more complicated.
*
* - In some cases the vCPUs will all have the same
* PID as the main emulator thread.
* - In some cases the first vCPU will have a distinct
* PID, but other vCPUs will share the emulator thread
*
* For MTTCG, things work the same as KVM, with each
* vCPU getting its own PID.
*
* We use the Host OS PIDs for doing vCPU pinning
* and reporting. The TCG data reporting will result
* in bad behaviour such as pinning the wrong PID.
* We must thus detect and discard bogus PID info
* from TCG, while still honouring the modern MTTCG
* impl which we can support.

* Current QEMU *can* report info about host threads mapped

* deal with. The TCG CPU emulation does have a separate vCPU
* thread, but it runs every vCPU in that same thread. So it
* is impossible to setup different affinity per thread.
*
* What's more the 'query-cpus[-fast]' command returns bizarre
* data for the threads. It gives the TCG thread for the
* vCPU 0, but for vCPUs 1-> N, it actually replies with
* the main process thread ID.
*
* The result is that when we try to set affinity for
* vCPU 1, it will actually change the affinity of the
* emulator thread :-( When you try to set affinity for
* vCPUs 2, 3.... it will fail if the affinity was
* different from vCPU 1.
*
* We *could* allow vcpu pinning with TCG, if we made the
* restriction that all vCPUs had the same mask. This would
* at least let us separate emulator from vCPUs threads, as
* we do for KVM. It would need some changes to our cgroups
* CPU layout though, and error reporting for the config
* restrictions.
*
* Just disable CPU pinning with TCG until someone wants
* to try to do this hard work.
