When shutting down SMP guests only VCPU #0 will receive

causes them to hang.

Instead, notify all VCPU threads once VCPU #0 thread is terminated
so they could also stop properly.

Ingo suggestied
'''
The debug options should probably be concentrated under a --debug option
anyway, to allow things like:

--debug single-step,ioport

Even if the debug options are kept they should be streamlined along
the same
pattern:

>> --debug-single-step Enable single stepping
>> --debug-ioport Enable ioport debugging

But having a --debug option that recognizes all the debug flags would
be nicer.

It would also allow future enhancements to group debug features, like:

--debug all # turn on everything and the kitchen sink
for early hangs
--debug all,-single-step # turn on everything except single-step
debugging
--debug nonverbose # turn on all non-noisy debug options we
have

Maybe even:

--debug memcheck

... could run kvm under valgrind automatically - that way we can hide
any secondary tool complexities from the user and turn those tools into
simple debug options :-)
'''

Let's do this --debug option consolidation later.

kvm tools: Dump vCPUs in order

There's one bug remaining that my patch does not address: the vCPUs are not
printed in order:

# vCPU #0's dump:
# vCPU #2's dump:
# vCPU #24's dump:
# vCPU #5's dump:
# vCPU #39's dump:
# vCPU #38's dump:
# vCPU #51's dump:
# vCPU #11's dump:
# vCPU #10's dump:
# vCPU #12's dump:

This is undesirable as the order of printout is highly random, so successive
dumps are difficult to compare.

The patch below serializes the signalling itself. (this is on top of the
previous patch)

The patch also tweaks the vCPU printout line a bit so that it does not start
with '#', which is discarded if such messages are pasted into Git commit
messages.

i can see a couple of problems with the debug printout code, which currently
produces a stream of such dumps for each vcpu:

The problems are:

- This does not work very well on SMP with lots of vcpus, because the printing
is unserialized, resulting in a jumbled mess of an output, all vcpus trying
to print to the console at once, often mixing lines and characters randomly.

- stdout from a signal handler must be flushed, otherwise lines can remain
buffered if someone saves the output via 'tee' for example.

- the dumps from the various CPUs are not distinguishable - they are just
dumped after each other with no identification

- the various printouts are rather hard to parse visually - it's not easy to see
various properties "at a glance" because the dump is visually confusing.

The patch below addresses these concerns, serializes the output, tidies up the
printout, resulting in this new output:

Looks like the code should be doing that already - but the ioctl(KVM_GET_SREGS)
hangs:

[pid 748] ioctl(6, KVM_GET_SREGS

Avi Kivity pointed out that it's not safe to call KVM_GET_SREGS (or other vcpu
related ioctls) from other threads:

> is it not OK to call KVM_GET_SREGS from other threads than the one
> that's doing KVM_RUN?

From Documentation/kvm/api.txt:

- vcpu ioctls: These query and set attributes that control the operation
of a single virtual cpu.

Only run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used to create the
vcpu.

Fix that up by using pthread_kill() to force the threads that are doing KVM_RUN
to do the register dumps.

kvm tools: Enable earlyprintk=serial by default

Enable the earlyprintk console to the serial port, to allow the debugging of
very early hangs/crashes.

Since we already enable the serial console by default, this is a natural
extension of it.

I have tested that it indeed works, by provoking an early hang that triggers
after the early console is enabled by before the real console is registered. In
that case before the patch we get:

$ ./kvm run --cpus 2
[ silent hang ]

With this patch applied i got the early output:

$ ./kvm run --cpus 60

This patch enables SMP support:

[ 0.155072] Brought up 3 CPUs
[ 0.155074] Total of 3 processors activated (15158.58 BogoMIPS).

virtio-console was being loaded no matter the cmdline options
and it was causing some hangs (have to look into that).

I'll send this patch to a larger audience once someone
else can confirm it actually works/doesn't work.
