The virtual interrupt method uses V_IRQ, V_INTR_PRIO, and V_INTR_VECTOR
fields of VMCB to inject a virtual interrupt into a guest VM. This
method has many advantages over the direct event injection as it
offloads all decisions of whether and when the interrupt can be
delivered to the guest. But with a purely software emulated vAPIC the
advantage is also a problem. The problem is that the hypervisor does
not have any precise control over when the interrupt is actually
delivered to the guest (or a notification about that). Because of that
the hypervisor cannot update the interrupt vector in IRR and ISR in the
same way as real hardware would. The hypervisor becomes aware that the
interrupt is being serviced only upon the first VMEXIT after the
interrupt is delivered. This creates a window between the actual
interrupt delivery and the update of IRR and ISR. That means that IRR
and ISR might not be correctly set up to the point of the
end-of-interrupt signal.
The described deviation has been observed to cause an interrupt loss in
the following scenario. vCPU0 posts an inter-processor interrupt to
vCPU1. The interrupt is injected as a virtual interrupt by the
hypervisor. The interrupt is delivered to a guest and an interrupt
handler is invoked. The handler performs a requested action and
acknowledges the request by modifying a global variable. So far, there
is no VMEXIT and the hypervisor is unaware of the events. Then, vCPU0
notices the acknowledgment and sends another IPI with the same vector.
The IPI gets collapsed into the previous IPI in the IRR of vCPU1. Only
after that a VMEXIT of vCPU1 occurs. At that time the vector is cleared
in the IRR and is set in the ISR. vCPU1 has vAPIC state as if the
second IPI has never been sent.
The scenario is impossible on the real hardware because IRR and ISR are
updated just before the interrupt handler gets started.
I saw several possibilities of fixing the problem. One is to intercept
the virtual interrupt delivery to update IRR and ISR at the right
moment. The other is to deliver the LAPIC interrupts using the event
injection, same as legacy interrupts. I opted to use the latter
approach for several reasons. It's equivalent to what VMM/Intel does
(in !VMX case). It appears to be what VirtualBox and KVM do. The code
is already there (to support legacy interrupts).
Another possibility was to use a special intermediate state for a vector
after it is injected using a virtual interrupt and before it is known
whether it was accepted or is still pending.
That approach was implemented in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13828
That method is more complex and does not have any clear advantage.
Please see sections 15.20 and 15.21.4 of "AMD64 Architecture
Programmer's Manual Volume 2: System Programming" (publication 24593,
revision 3.29) for comparison between event injection and virtual
interrupt injection.

Move prototypes to proper section now that we don't have modified

the old hand-rolled ones.
(I forgot to move this file form my lua branch in r328613)
since they suffice. Create xlocale_private.h which provides the most
minimal locale implementation we can get away with. Add strtoll and
strtoull from libc.
We may not have enough contiguous memory later, when NTB connection get

Restore state 6. Many of the UNH tests end up exercising this
state, where we have a new neighbor cache entry and a new link-layer
entry is being created for it. The link-layer address is currently
unknown so the initial state of the "llentry" should remain initialized
to ND6_LLINFO_NOSTATE so that the ND code will send a solicitation.
Setting this to ND6_LLINFO_STALE implies that the link-level entry
is valid and can be used (but needs to be refreshed via the Neighbor
Unreachability state machine).

The test was added prematurely as a goal to reach with the GNU extension
functionality, but the functionality has not yet been introduced. Mark it as
an expected fail until that point.
The root problem is that we were creating a PT_LOAD just for the header.
That was technically valid, but inconvenient: we should not be making
the ELF discontinuous.
The solution is to allow a section with LMAExpr to be added to a PT_LOAD
if that PT_LOAD doesn't already have a LMAExpr.

If two sections are in the same PT_LOAD, their relatives offsets,
virtual address and physical addresses are all the same.
[Rafael] initially wanted to have a single global LMAOffset, on the
assumption that every ELF file was in practiced loaded contiguously in
both physical and virtual memory.
Unfortunately that is not the case. The linux kernel has:
LOAD 0x200000 0xffffffff81000000 0x0000000001000000 0xced000 0xced000 R E 0x200000
LOAD 0x1000000 0xffffffff81e00000 0x0000000001e00000 0x15f000 0x15f000 RW 0x200000
LOAD 0x1200000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000001f5f000 0x01b198 0x01b198 RW 0x200000

The delta for all but the third PT_LOAD is the same:
0xffffffff80000000. [Rafael] thinks the 3rd one is a hack for implementing
per cpu data, but we can't break that.

This fixes the crash reported at [LLVM] PR36083.
The issue is that we were trying to put all the sections in the same

This also adds accounting for used space in LMARegion, without it all
