hw/acpi/ich9: Add periodic and swsmi timer

This patch implements the periodic and the swsmi ICH9 chipset timers. They are
especially useful when prototyping UEFI firmware (e.g. with EDK2's OVMF)
using QEMU.

For backwards compatibility, the compat properties "x-smi-swsmi-timer",
and "x-smi-periodic-timer" are introduced.

Additionally, writes to the SMI_STS register are enabled for the
corresponding two bits using a write mask to make future work easier.

These are all device types. They can't be plugged with -device /
device_add, except for xlnx,zynqmp-pmu-soc, and I doubt that one
actually works.

They *can* be used with -device / device_add to request help.
Usability is poor, though: you have to double the comma, like this:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device SUNW,,fdtwo,help

Trap for the unwary. The fact that this was broken in
device-introspect-test for more than six years until commit e27bd49876
fixed it demonstrates that "the unwary" includes seasoned developers.

One QOM type name contains ' ': "ICH9 SMB". Because having to
remember just one way to quote would be too easy.

Rename the "SUNW,FOO types to "sun-FOO". Summarily replace ',' and '
' by '-' in the other type names.

hw/isa/lpc_ich9: Ignore reserved/invalid SCI IRQ

hw/pci/pci.c:268: int pci_bus_get_irq_level(PCIBus *, int): Assertion `irq_num < bus->nirq' failed.

This is because ich9_lpc_sci_irq() returns -1 for reserved
(illegal) values, but ich9_lpc_pmbase_sci_update() considers
it valid and store it in a 8-bit unsigned type. Then the 255
value is used as GSI IRQ, resulting in a PIRQ value of 247,
more than ICH9_LPC_NB_PIRQS (8).

Fix by simply ignoring the invalid access (and reporting it):

pci_cfg_write ICH9-LPC 31:0 @0x41 <- 0xebed205d
ICH9 LPC: SCI IRQ SEL #3 is reserved
pci_cfg_read mch 00:0 @0x0 -> 0x8086

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [Makefile:204: qemu-system-x86_64] Error 1

This is due to a dependency in acpi-build.c on the ICH9_LPC
(via ich9_lpc_find) and PIIX4_PM (via piix4_pm_find) devices.

To allow better modularity (compile acpi-build.c with only
Q35/ICH9 or ISAPC/PIIX4), refactor the similar helper as
object_resolve_type_unambiguous(). This way we relax the
linker dependencies and can build the x86 targets with a
selection of machines (instead of all of them).

hw/isa/lpc_ich9: add broadcast SMI feature

The generic edk2 SMM infrastructure prefers
EFI_SMM_CONTROL2_PROTOCOL.Trigger() to inject an SMI on each processor. If
Trigger() only brings the current processor into SMM, then edk2 handles it
in the following ways:

(1) If Trigger() is executed by the BSP (which is guaranteed before
ExitBootServices(), but is not necessarily true at runtime), then:

(a) If edk2 has been configured for "traditional" SMM synchronization,
then the BSP sends directed SMIs to the APs with APIC delivery,
bringing them into SMM individually. Then the BSP runs the SMI
handler / dispatcher.

(b) If edk2 has been configured for "relaxed" SMM synchronization,
then the APs that are not already in SMM are not brought in, and
the BSP runs the SMI handler / dispatcher.

(2) If Trigger() is executed by an AP (which is possible after
ExitBootServices(), and can be forced e.g. by "taskset -c 1
efibootmgr"), then the AP in question brings in the BSP with a
directed SMI, and the BSP runs the SMI handler / dispatcher.

The smaller problem with (1a) and (2) is that the BSP and AP
synchronization is slow. For example, the "taskset -c 1 efibootmgr"
command from (2) can take more than 3 seconds to complete, because
efibootmgr accesses non-volatile UEFI variables intensively.

The larger problem is that QEMU's current behavior diverges from the
behavior usually seen on physical hardware, and that keeps exposing
obscure corner cases, race conditions and other instabilities in edk2,
which generally expects / prefers a software SMI to affect all CPUs at
once.

Therefore introduce the "broadcast SMI" feature that causes QEMU to inject
the SMI on all VCPUs.

While the original posting of this patch
<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-10/msg05658.html>
only intended to speed up (2), based on our recent "stress testing" of SMM
this patch actually provides functional improvements.

hw/isa/lpc_ich9: add SMI feature negotiation via fw_cfg

presenting the features know

hw/isa/lpc_ich9: add SMI feature negotiation via fw_cfg

Introduce the following fw_cfg files:

- "etc/smi/supported-features": a little endian uint64_t feature bitmap,
presenting the features known by the host to the guest. Read-only for
the guest.

The content of this file will be determined via bit-granularity ICH9-LPC
device properties, to be introduced later. For now, the bitmask is left
zeroed. The bits will be set from machine type compat properties and on
the QEMU command line, hence this file is not migrated.

- "etc/smi/requested-features": a little endian uint64_t feature bitmap,
representing the features the guest would like to request. Read-write
for the guest.

The guest can freely (re)write this file, it has no direct consequence.
Initial value is zero. A nonzero value causes the SMI-related fw_cfg
files and fields that are under guest influence to be migrated.

- "etc/smi/features-ok": contains a uint8_t value, and it is read-only for
the guest. When the guest selects the associated fw_cfg key, the guest
features are validated against the host features. In case of error, the
negotiation doesn't proceed, and the "features-ok" file remains zero. In
case of success, the "features-ok" file becomes (uint8_t)1, and the
negotiated features are locked down internally (to which no further
changes are possible until reset).

The initial value is zero. A nonzero value causes the SMI-related
fw_cfg files and fields that are under guest influence to be migrated.

The C-language fields backing the "supported-features" and
"requested-features" files are uint8_t arrays. This is because they carry
guest-side representation (our choice is little endian), while
VMSTATE_UINT64() assumes / implies host-side endianness for any uint64_t
fields. If we migrate a guest between hosts with different endiannesses
(which is possible with TCG), then the host-side value is preserved, and
the host-side representation is translated. This would be visible to the
guest through fw_cfg, unless we used plain byte arrays. So we do.
