tb-hash: improve tb_jmp_cache hash function in user mode
...
Optimizations to cross-page chaining and indirect branches make
performance more sensitive to the hit rate of tb_jmp_cache.
The constraint of reserving some bits for the page number
lowers the achievable quality of the hashing function.
However, user-mode does not have this requirement. Thus,
with this change we use for user-mode a hashing function that
is both faster and of better quality than the previous one.
Measurements:
Note: baseline (i.e. speedup == 1x) is QEMU v2.9.0.

Here I also tried the hash function suggested by Paolo ("multhash"):
return ((uint64_t) (pc * 2654435761) >> 32) & (TB_JMP_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
As you can see it is just as good as the other new function ("hash"),
which is what I ended up going with.

tb hash: hash phys_pc, pc, and flags with xxhash
...
For some workloads such as arm bootup, tb_phys_hash is performance-critical.
The is due to the high frequency of accesses to the hash table, originated
by (frequent) TLB flushes that wipe out the cpu-private tb_jmp_cache's.
More info:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg05098.html
To dig further into this I modified an arm image booting debian jessie to
immediately shut down after boot. Analysis revealed that quite a bit of time
is unnecessarily spent in tb_phys_hash: the cause is poor hashing that
results in very uneven loading of chains in the hash table's buckets;
the longest observed chain had ~550 elements.
The appended addresses this with two changes:
1) Use xxhash as the hash table's hash function. xxhash is a fast,
high-quality hashing function.
2) Feed the hashing function with not just tb_phys, but also pc and flags.
This improves performance over using just tb_phys for hashing, since that
resulted in some hash buckets having many TB's, while others getting very few;
with these changes, the longest observed chain on a single hash bucket is
brought down from ~550 to ~40.
Tests show that the other element checked for in tb_find_physical,
cs_base, is always a match when tb_phys+pc+flags are a match,
so hashing cs_base is wasteful. It could be that this is an ARM-only
thing, though. UPDATE:
On Tue, Apr 05, 2016 at 08:41:43 -0700, Richard Henderson wrote:

BTW, after this change the hash table should not be called "tb_hash_phys"
anymore; this is addressed later in this series.
This change gives consistent bootup time improvements. I tested two
host machines:
- Intel Xeon E5-2690: 11.6% less time
- Intel i7-4790K: 19.2% less time
Increasing the number of hash buckets yields further improvements. However,
using a larger, fixed number of buckets can degrade performance for other
workloads that do not translate as many blocks (600K+ for debian-jessie arm
bootup). This is dealt with later in this series.

include/exec: Move tb hash functions out
...
This is one of very few things in exec-all with a genuine CPU
architecture dependency. Move these hashing helpers to a new
header to trim exec-all.h down to a near architecture-agnostic
header.
The defs are only used by cpu-exec and translate-all which are both
arch-obj's so the new tb-hash.h has no core code usage.
