2024-12-20include: Rename sysemu/ -> system/Philippe Mathieu-Daudé1-1/+1
Headers in include/sysemu/ are not only related to system *emulation*, they are also used by virtualization. Rename as system/ which is clearer.

2024-07-03hostmem: add a new memory backend based on POSIX shm_open()Stefano Garzarella1-0/+123
shm_open() creates and opens a new POSIX shared memory object. A POSIX shared memory object allows creating memory backend with an associated file descriptor that can be shared with external processes (e.g. vhost-user). The new `memory-backend-shm` can be used as an alternative when `memory-backend-memfd` is not available (Linux only), since shm_open() should be provided by any POSIX-compliant operating system. This backend mimics memfd, allocating memory that is practically anonymous. In theory shm_open() requires a name, but this is allocated for a short time interval and shm_unlink() is called right after shm_open(). After that, only fd is shared with external processes (e.g., vhost-user) as if it were associated with anonymous memory. In the future we may also allow the user to specify the name to be passed to shm_open(), but for now we keep the backend simple, mimicking anonymous memory such as memfd.
