* linux-user: add memfd_createShu-Chun Weng2019-09-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Add support for the memfd_create syscall. If the host does not have the libc wrapper, translate to a direct syscall with NC-macro.

* hostmem-memfd: add checks before adding hostmem-memfd & propertiesMarc-André Lureau2018-10-021-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Run some memfd-related checks before registering hostmem-memfd & various properties. This will help libvirt to figure out what the host is supposed to be capable of. qemu_memfd_check() is changed to a less optimized version, since it is used with various flags, it no longer caches the result.

* memfd: fix vhost-user-test on non-memfd capable hostMarc-André Lureau2018-04-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On RHEL7, memfd is not supported, and vhost-user-test fails: TEST: tests/vhost-user-test... (pid=10248) /x86_64/vhost-user/migrate: qemu-system-x86_64: -object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem,size=2M,: failed to create memfd FAIL There is a qemu_memfd_check() to prevent running memfd path, but it also checks for fallback implementation. Let's specialize qemu_memfd_check() to check memfd only, while qemu_memfd_alloc_check() checks for the qemu_memfd_alloc() API.

* memfd: add hugetlb supportMarc-André Lureau2018-02-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux commit 749df87bd7bee5a79cef073f5d032ddb2b211de8 (v4.14-rc1) added a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that specify the file to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem. This is the generic hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific mount point. hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations in v4.14, therefore specifying MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL. However, I added sealing support in "[PATCH v3 0/9] memfd: add sealing to hugetlb-backed memory" series, queued in -mm tree for v4.16.

* include: Clean up includesPeter Maydell2016-02-231-2/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers which it implies are not included manually. This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes. NB: If this commit breaks compilation for your out-of-tree patchseries or fork, then you need to make sure you add #include "qemu/osdep.h" to any new .c files that you have.

* util: add linux-only memfd fallbackMarc-André Lureau2015-10-221-0/+20
Implement memfd_create() fallback if not available in system libc. memfd_create() is still not included in glibc today, atlhough it's been available since Linux 3.17 in Oct 2014. memfd has numerous advantages over traditional shm/mmap for ipc memory sharing with fd handler, which we are going to make use of for vhost-user logging memory in following patches. The next patches are going to introduce helpers to use best practices of memfd usage and provide some compatibility fallback. memfd.c is thus temporarily useless and eventually empty if memfd_create() is provided by the system.
