Replace usage of legacy field info_str of NetClientState for backend
network devices with QAPI NetdevInfo stored_config that already used
in QMP query-netdev.
This change increases the detail of the "info network" output and takes
a more general approach to composing the output.
NIC and hubports still use legacy info_str field.

The info_str field of the NetClientState structure is static and has a size
of 256 bytes. This amount is often unclaimed, and the field itself is used
exclusively for HMP "info network".
The patch translates info_str to dynamic memory allocation.
This action is also allows us to painlessly discard usage of this field

The query-netdev command is used to get the configuration of the current
network device backends (netdevs).
This is the QMP analog of the HMP command "info network" but only for
netdevs (i.e. excluding NIC and hubports).
The query-netdev command returns an array of objects of the NetdevInfo
type, which are an extension of Netdev type. It means that response can
be used for netdev-add after small modification. This can be useful for
recreate the same netdev configuration.
Information about the network device is filled in when it is created or
modified and is available through the NetClientState->stored_config.

The pvrdma code relies on the pvrdma_ring.h kernel header for some
basic ring buffer handling. The content of that header isn't very
exciting, but contains some (q)atomic_*() invocations that (a)
cause manual massaging when doing a headers update, and (b) are
an indication that we probably should not be importing that header
at all.
Let's reimplement the ring buffer handling directly in the pvrdma
code instead. This arguably also improves readability of the code.
Importing the header can now be dropped.

Some NIC supports loopback mode and this is done by calling
nc->info->receive() directly which in fact suppresses the effort of
reentrancy check that is done in qemu_net_queue_send().
Unfortunately we can't use qemu_net_queue_send() here since for
loopback there's no sender as peer, so this patch introduce a
qemu_receive_packet() which is used for implementing loopback mode
for a NIC with this check.
NIC that supports loopback mode will be converted to this helper.
This is intended to address CVE-2021-3416.

This patch implements Multi Function Timer (MFT) module for NPCM7XX.
This module is mainly used to configure PWM fans. It has just enough
functionality to make the PWM fan kernel module work.
The module takes two input, the max_rpm of a fan (modifiable via QMP)
and duty cycle (a GPIO from the PWM module.) The actual measured RPM
is equal to max_rpm * duty_cycle / NPCM7XX_PWM_MAX_DUTY. The RPM is
measured as a counter compared to a prescaled input clock. The kernel
driver reads this counter and report to user space.

Currently get_naturally_aligned_size() is used by the intel iommu
to compute the maximum invalidation range based on @size which is
a power of 2 while being aligned with the @start address and less
than the maximum range defined by @gaw.
This helper is also useful for other iommu devices (virtio-iommu,
SMMUv3) to make sure IOMMU UNMAP notifiers only are called with
power of 2 range sizes.
Let's move this latter into dma-helpers.c and rename it into
dma_aligned_pow2_mask(). Also rewrite the helper so that it
accomodates UINT64_MAX values for the size mask and max mask.
It now returns a mask instead of a size. Change the caller.

Recent changes allowed the pSeries machine to rollback the hotunplug
process for the DIMM when the guest kernel signals, via a
reconfiguration of the DR connector, that it's not going to release the
LMBs.
Let's also warn QAPI listerners about it. One place to do it would be
right after the unplug state is cleaned up,
spapr_clear_pending_dimm_unplug_state(). This would mean that the
function is now doing more than cleaning up the pending dimm state
though.
This patch does the following changes in spapr.c:
- send a QAPI event to inform that we experienced a failure in the
hotunplug of the DIMM;
- rename spapr_clear_pending_dimm_unplug_state() to
spapr_memory_unplug_rollback(). This is a better fit for what the
function is now doing, and it makes callers care more about what the
function goal is and less about spapr.c internals such as clearing
the pending dimm unplug state.

Handling errors in memory hotunplug in the pSeries machine is more
complex than any other device type, because there are all the
complications that other devices has, and more.
For instance, determining a timeout for a DIMM hotunplug must consider
if it's a Hash-MMU or a Radix-MMU guest, because Hash guests takes
longer to hotunplug DIMMs. The size of the DIMM is also a factor, given
that longer DIMMs naturally takes longer to be hotunplugged from the
kernel. And there's also the guest memory usage to be considered: if
there's a process that is consuming memory that would be lost by the
DIMM unplug, the kernel will postpone the unplug process until the
process finishes, and then initiate the regular hotunplug process. The
first two considerations are manageable, but the last one is a deal
breaker.
There is no sane way for the pSeries machine to determine the memory
load in the guest when attempting a DIMM hotunplug - and even if there
was a way, the guest can start using all the RAM in the middle of the
unplug process and invalidate our previous assumptions - and in result
we can't even begin to calculate a timeout for the operation. This means
that we can't implement a viable timeout mechanism for memory unplug in
pSeries.
Going back to why we would consider an unplug timeout, the reason is
that we can't know if the kernel is giving up the unplug. Turns out
that, sometimes, we can. Consider a failed memory hotunplug attempt
where the kernel will error out with the following message:
'pseries-hotplug-mem: Memory indexed-count-remove failed, adding any
removed LMBs'
This happens when there is a LMB that the kernel gave up in removing,
and the LMBs previously marked for removal are now being added back.
This happens in the pseries kernel in [1], dlpar_memory_remove_by_ic()
into dlpar_add_lmb(), and after that update_lmb_associativity_index().
In this function, the kernel is configuring the LMB DRC connector again.
Note that this is a valid usage in LOPAR, as stated in section
"ibm,configure-connector RTAS Call":
'A subsequent sequence of calls to ibm,configure-connector with the same
entry from the “ibm,drc-indexes” or “ibm,drc-info” property will restart
the configuration of devices which were not completely configured.'
We can use this kernel behavior in our favor. If a DRC connector
reconfiguration for a LMB that we marked as unplug pending happens, this
indicates that the kernel changed its mind about the unplug and is
reasserting that it will keep using all the LMBs of the DIMM. In this
case, it's safe to assume that the whole DIMM device unplug was
cancelled.
This patch hops into rtas_ibm_configure_connector() and, in the scenario
described above, clear the unplug state for the DIMM device. This will
not solve all the problems we still have with memory unplug, but it will
cover this case where the kernel reconfigures LMBs after a failed
unplug. We are a bit more resilient, without using an unreliable
timeout, and we didn't make the remaining error cases any worse.
