tests: smbios: add test for legacy mode CLI options

Unfortunately having 2.0 machine type deprecated is not enough
to get rid of legacy SMBIOS handling since 'isapc' also uses
that and it's staying around.

Hence add test for CLI options handling to be sure that it
ain't broken during SMBIOS code refactoring.

tests/acpi/bios-tables-test: do not write new blobs unless there are changes

When dumping table blobs using rebuild-expected-aml.sh, table blobs from all
test variants are dumped regardless of whether there are any actual changes to
the tables or not. This creates lot of new files for various test variants that
are not part of the git repository. This is because we do not check in all table
blobs for all test variants into the repository. Only those blobs for those
variants that are different from the generic test-variant agnostic blob are
checked in.

This change makes the test smarter by checking if at all there are any changes
in the tables from the checked-in gold master blobs and take actions
accordingly.

When there are no changes:
- No new table blobs would be written.
- Existing table blobs will be refreshed (git diff will show no changes).
When there are changes:
- New table blob files will be dumped.
- Existing table blobs will be refreshed (git diff will show that the files
changed, asl diff will show the actual changes).
When new tables are introduced:
- Zero byte empty file blobs for new tables as instructed in the header of
bios-tables-test.c will be regenerated to actual table blobs.

This would make analyzing changes to tables less confusing and there would
be no need to clean useless untracked files when there are no table changes.

tests: bios-tables-test: Add test for smbios type4 thread count2

tests: bios-tables-test: Add test for smbios type4 thread count2

This tests the commit 7298fd7de5551 ("hw/smbios: Fix thread count in
type4").

In smbios_build_type_4_table() (hw/smbios/smbios.c), if the number of
threads in the socket is more than 255, then smbios type4 table encodes
threads per socket into the thread count2 field.

So for the topology in this case, there're the following considerations:
1. threads per socket should be more than 255 to ensure we could cover
the thread count2 field.
2. The original bug was that threads per socket was miscalculated, so
now we should configure as many topology levels as possible (multiple
dies, no module since x86 hasn't supported it) to cover more general
topology scenarios, to ensure that the threads per socket encoded in
the thread count2 field is correct.
3. For the more general topology, we should also add "cpus" (presented
threads for machine) and "maxcpus" (total threads for machine) to
make sure that configuring unpluged CPUs in smp (cpus < maxcpus)
does not affect the correctness of threads per socket for thread
count2 field.

Note we don't consider the topology with multiple sockets since this
topology would create too many vCPUs (more than 255 threads per socket
with at least 2 sockets, which may cause the failure "Number of
hotpluggable cpus requested (*) exceeds the maximum cpus supported by
KVM (*) socket_accept failed: Resource temporarily unavailable"), and
the calculation of threads per socket has already been covered by
"thread count" test case.

Based on these considerations, select the topology as the follow:

-smp cpus=210,maxcpus=260,dies=2,cores=65,threads=2

The expected thread count2 = threads per socket = threads (2)
* cores (65) * dies (2) = 260.

tests: bios-tables-test: Extend smbios core count2 test to cover general topology

The commit 196ea60a734c3 ("hw/smbios: Fix core count in type4") fixed
the miscalculation of cores per socket.

The original core count2 test (with the topology configured by
"-smp 275") didn't recognize that topology-related but because it just
created a special topology with only one socket and one die by default,
ignoring the effect of more topology levels (between socket and core) on
the cores per socket calculation.

So for the topology in this case, there're the following considerations:
1. cores per socket should be more than 255 to ensure we could cover
the core count2 field.
2. The original bug was that cores per socket was miscalculated, so now
we should include as many topology levels as possible (multiple
sockets or dies, no module since x86 hasn't supported it) to cover
more general topology scenarios, to ensure that the cores per socket
encoded in the core count2 field is correct.

Based on these considerations, select the topology with multiple dies:

-smp 260,dies=2,cores=130,threads=1

Note, here we doesn't configure multiple sockets to avoid the error
("kvm_init_vcpu: kvm_get_vcpu failed (*): Too many open files") if user
uses the default ulimit seeting on his machine.

And the cores per socket calculation for multiple sockets has already
been covered by the core count test case, so that only multiple dies
configuration is enough.

The expected core count2 = cores per socket = cores (130) * dies (2) =
260.

This tests the commit d79a284a44bb7 ("hw/smbios: Fix smbios_smp_sockets

In smbios_get_tables() (hw/smbios/smbios.c), smbios type4 table is built

number of sockets.

Thus for the topology in this case, there're the following considerations:
1. The topology should include multiple sockets to ensure smbios could
create type4 tables for each socket.
2. In addition to sockets, for the more general topology, we should also
configure as many topology levels as possible (multiple dies, no
module since x86 hasn't supported it), to ensure that smbios is able
to exclude the effect of other topology levels to create the type4
tables only for sockets.
3. The original miscalculation bug also misused "smp.cpus", so it's
necessary to configure "cpus" (presented threads for machine) and
"maxcpus" (total threads for machine) as well to make sure that
configuring unpluged CPUs in smp (cpus < maxcpus) does not affect
the correctness of the count of type4 tables.

Based on these considerations, select the topology as the follow:

-smp cpus=100,maxcpus=120,sockets=5,dies=2,cores=4,threads=3

The expected count of type4 tables = sockets (5).

Thus for the topology in this case, there're the following considerations:
1. The topology should include multiple sockets to ensure smbios could
create type4 tables for each socket.
2. In addition to sockets, for the more general topology, we should also
configure as many topology levels as possible (multiple dies, no
module since x86 hasn't supported it), to ensure that smbios is able
to exclude the effect of other topology levels to create the type4
tables only for sockets.
3. The original miscalculation bug also misused "smp.cpus", so it's
necessary to configure "cpus" (presented threads for machine) and
"maxcpus" (total threads for machine) as well to make sure that
configuring unpluged CPUs in smp (cpus < maxcpus) does not affect
the correctness of the count of type4 tables.

Based on these considerations, select the topology as the follow:

-smp cpus=100,maxcpus=120,sockets=5,dies=2,cores=4,threads=3

The expected count of type4 tables = sockets (5).

hw/i386/pc: improve physical address space bound check for 32-bit x86 systems

32-bit x86 systems do not have a reserved memory for hole64. On those 32-bit
systems without PSE36 or PAE CPU features,

hw/i386/pc: improve physical address space bound check for 32-bit x86 systems

32-bit x86 systems do not have a reserved memory for hole64. On those 32-bit
systems without PSE36 or PAE CPU features, hotplugging memory devices are not
supported by QEMU as QEMU always places hotplugged memory above 4 GiB boundary
which is beyond the physical address space of the processor. Linux guests also
does not support memory hotplug on those systems. Please see Linux
kernel commit b59d02ed08690 ("mm/memory_hotplug: disable the functionality
for 32b") for more details.

Therefore, the maximum limit of the guest physical address in the absence of
additional memory devices effectively coincides with the end of
"above 4G memory space" region for 32-bit x86 without PAE/PSE36. When users
configure additional memory devices, after properly accounting for the
additional device memory region to find the maximum value of the guest
physical address, the address will be outside the range of the processor's
physical address space.

This change adds improvements to take above into consideration.

For example, previously this was allowed:

$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu pentium -m size=10G

With this change now it is no longer allowed:

$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu pentium -m size=10G
qemu-system-x86_64: Address space limit 0xffffffff < 0x2bfffffff phys-bits too low (32)

However, the following are allowed since on both cases physical address
space of the processor is 36 bits:

$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu pentium2 -m size=10G
$ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu pentium,pse36=on -m size=10G

For 32-bit, without PAE/PSE36, hotplugging additional memory is no longer allowed.

$ ./qemu-system-i386 -m size=1G,maxmem=3G,slots=2
qemu-system-i386: Address space limit 0xffffffff < 0x1ffffffff phys-bits too low (32)
$ ./qemu-system-i386 -machine q35 -m size=1G,maxmem=3G,slots=2
qemu-system-i386: Address space limit 0xffffffff < 0x1ffffffff phys-bits too low (32)

A new compatibility flag is introduced to make sure pc_max_used_gpa() keeps
returning the old value for machines 8.1 and older.
Therefore, the above is still allowed for older machine types in order to support
compatibility. Hence, the following still works:

$ ./qemu-system-i386 -machine pc-i440fx-8.1 -m size=1G,maxmem=3G,slots=2
$ ./qemu-system-i386 -machine pc-q35-8.1 -m size=1G,maxmem=3G,slots=2

Further, following is also allowed as with PSE36, the processor has 36-bit
address space:

$ ./qemu-system-i386 -cpu 486,pse36=on -m size=1G,maxmem=3G,slots=2

After calling CPUID with EAX=0x80000001, all AMD64 compliant processors
have the longmode-capable-bit turned on in the extended feature flags (bit 29)
in EDX. The absence of CPUID longmode can be used to differentiate between
32-bit and 64-bit processors and is the recommended approach. QEMU takes this
approach elsewhere (for example, please see x86_cpu_realizefn()), With
this change, pc_max_used_gpa() also uses the same method to detect 32-bit
processors.

Unit tests are modified to not run 32-bit x86 tests that use memory hotplug.
