A new shared header tcg-pool.inc.c adds new_pool_label,
for registering a tcg_target_ulong to be emitted after
the generated code, plus relocation data to install a
pointer to the data.
A new pointer is added to the TCGContext, so that we
dump the constant pool as data, not code.
Backports commit 57a269469dbf70013dab3a176e1735636010a772 from qemu
Dispense with TCGBackendData, as it has never been used for more than
holding a single pointer. Use a define in the cpu/tcg-target.h to
signal requirement for TCGLabelQemuLdst, so that we can drop the no-op
tcg-be-null.h stubs. Rename tcg-be-ldst.h to tcg-ldst.inc.c.
Backports commit 659ef5cbb893872d25e9d95191cc23b16546c8a1 from qemu
Allocating an arbitrarily-sized array of tbs results in either
(a) a lot of memory wasted or (b) unnecessary flushes of the code
cache when we run out of TB structs in the array.
An obvious solution would be to just malloc a TB struct when needed,
and keep the TB array as an array of pointers (recall that tb_find_pc()
needs the TB array to run in O(log n)).
Perhaps a better solution, which is implemented in this patch, is to
allocate TB's right before the translated code they describe. This
results in some memory waste due to padding to have code and TBs in
separate cache lines--for instance, I measured 4.7% of padding in the
used portion of code_gen_buffer when booting aarch64 Linux on a
host with 64-byte cache lines. However, it can allow for optimizations
in some host architectures, since TCG backends could safely assume that
the TB and the corresponding translated code are very close to each
other in memory. See this message by rth for a detailed explanation:

Backports commit 6e3b2bfd6af488a896f7936e99ef160f8f37e6f2 from qemu
Instead of exporting goto_ptr directly to TCG frontends, export
tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptr(), which calls goto_ptr with the pointer
returned by the lookup_tb_ptr() helper. This is the only use case
we have for goto_ptr and lookup_tb_ptr, so having this function is
very convenient. Furthermore, it trivially allows us to avoid calling
the lookup helper if goto_ptr is not implemented by the backend.

This allows an output operand to match an input operand
only when the input operand needs a register.

This will let us choose how to interpret a given constraint
depending on whether the opcode is 32- or 64-bit. Which will
let us share more constraint combinations between opcodes.
At the same time, change the interface to return the advanced
pointer instead of passing it in/out by reference.

This comes from free from unifying tcg_reg_alloc_mov and
tcg_reg_alloc_movi's handling of TEMP_VAL_CONST. It triggers
often on moves to cc_dst, such as the following translation
of "sub $0x3c,%esp":
before: after:
subl $0x3c,%ebp subl $0x3c,%ebp
movl %ebp,0x10(%r14) movl %ebp,0x10(%r14)
movl $0x3c,%ebx movl $0x3c,0x2c(%r14)

Backports commit 0fe4fca4e1a5e06a270127dd80bb753d4dda61c6 from qemu
Rather than rely on recursion during the middle of register allocation,
lower indirect registers to loads and stores off the indirect base into
plain temps.
For an x86_64 host, with sufficient registers, this results in identical
code, modulo the actual register assignments.
For an i686 host, with insufficient registers, this means that temps can
be (temporarily) spilled to the stack in order to satisfy an allocation.
This as opposed to the possibility of not being able to spill, to allocate
a register for the indirect base, in order to perform a spill.

Some architectures (e.g. ARMv8) need the address which is aligned
to a size more than the size of the memory access.
To support such check it's enough the current costless alignment
check implementation in QEMU, but we need to support
an alignment size specifying.

While we can store constants via constrants on INDEX_op_st_i32 et al,
we weren't able to spill constants to backing store.
Add a new backend interface, tcg_out_sti, which may store the constant
(and is allowed to fail). Rearrange the temp_* helpers so that we only
attempt to directly store a constant when the temp is becoming dead/free.

The TCG code is quite performance sensitive, but at the same time can
also be quite tricky. That is why asserts that can be enabled with the
--enable-debug-tcg configure option.
This used to work the following way:
| #include "config.h"
|
| ...
|
| #if !defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG) && !defined(NDEBUG)
| /* define it to suppress various consistency checks (faster) */
| #define NDEBUG
| #endif
|
| ...
|
| #include <assert.h>
Since commit 757e725b (tcg: Clean up includes) "config.h" as been
replaced by "qemu/osdep.h" which itself includes <assert.h>. As a
consequence the assertions are always enabled, even when using
--disable-debug-tcg, causing a performance regression, especially on
targets with many registers. For instance on qemu-system-ppc the
speed difference is about 15%.
tcg_debug_assert is controlled directly by CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG and already
uses in some places. This patch replaces all the calls to assert into
calss to tcg_debug_assert.

We currently pre-compute an worst case code size for any TB, which
works out to be 122kB. Since the average TB size is near 1kB, this
wastes quite a lot of storage.
Instead, check for overflow in between generating code for each opcode.
The overhead of the check isn't measurable and wastage is minimized.

two different placements of the call to tcg_prologue_init,
