[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] pc: make sure that guest isn't able to unplug the first cpu

[Igor Mammedov]

The first cpu unplug wasn't ever supported and corresponding
monitor/qmp commands refuse to unplug it. However guest is able
to issue eject request either using following command:
  # echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/firmware_node/eject
or directly writing to cpu hotplug registers, which makes
qemu crash with SIGSEGV following back trace:

   kvm_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer ()
       while (ring->first != ring->last)
   ...
   qemu_flush_coalesced_mmio_buffer
   prepare_mmio_access
   flatview_read_continue
   flatview_read
   address_space_read_full
   address_space_rw
   kvm_cpu_exec(cpu!0)
   qemu_kvm_cpu_thread_fn

the reason for which is that ring == KVMState::coalesced_mmio_ring
happens to be a part of 1st CPU that was uplugged by guest.

Fix it by forbidding 1st cpu unplug from guest side and in addition
remove CPU0._EJ0 ACPI method to make clear that unplug of the first
CPU is not supported.

CCing spapr and s390x folks in case targets need to prevent 1st CPU unplug as 
well
