Define a new MachineClass field ignore_memory_transaction_failures.
If this is flag is true then the CPU will ignore memory transaction
failures which should cause the CPU to take an exception due to an
access to an unassigned physical address; the transaction will
instead return zero (for a read) or be ignored (for a write). This
should be set only by legacy board models which rely on the old
RAZ/WI behaviour for handling devices that QEMU does not yet model.
New board models should instead use "unimplemented-device" for all
memory ranges where the guest will attempt to probe for a device that
QEMU doesn't implement and a stub device is required.
We need this for ARM boards, where we're about to implement support for
generating external aborts on memory transaction failures. Too many
of our legacy board models rely on the RAZ/WI behaviour and we
would break currently working guests when their "probe for device"
code provoked an external abort rather than a RAZ.
Backports commit ed860129acd3fcd0b1e47884e810212aaca4d21b from qemu
Currently we have a rather half-baked setup for allowing CPUs to
generate exceptions on accesses to invalid memory: the CPU has a
cpu_unassigned_access() hook which the memory system calls in
unassigned_mem_write() and unassigned_mem_read() if the current_cpu
pointer is non-NULL. This was originally designed before we
implemented the MemTxResult type that allows memory operations to
report a success or failure code, which is why the hook is called
right at the bottom of the memory system. The major problem with
this is that it means that the hook can be called even when the
access was not actually done by the CPU: for instance if the CPU
writes to a DMA engine register which causes the DMA engine to begin
a transaction which has been set up by the guest to operate on
invalid memory then this will casue the CPU to take an exception
incorrectly. Another minor problem is that currently if a device
returns a transaction error then this won't turn into a CPU exception
at all.
The right way to do this is to have allow the CPU to respond
to memory system transaction failures at the point where the
CPU specific code calls into the memory system.
Define a new QOM CPU method and utility function
cpu_transaction_failed() which is called in these cases.
The functionality here overlaps with the existing
cpu_unassigned_access() because individual target CPUs will
need some work to convert them to the new system. When this
transition is complete we can remove the old cpu_unassigned_access()
code.

Backports commit cde0a63ad721dbb538419a00f9405587680be436 from qemu
Some code paths can lead to atomic accesses racing with memset()
on cpu->tb_jmp_cache, which can result in torn reads/writes
and is undefined behaviour in C11.
These torn accesses are unlikely to show up as bugs, but from code
inspection they seem possible. For example, tb_phys_invalidate does:
/* remove the TB from the hash list */
h = tb_jmp_cache_hash_func(tb->pc);
CPU_FOREACH(cpu) {
if (atomic_read(&cpu->tb_jmp_cache[h]) == tb) {
atomic_set(&cpu->tb_jmp_cache[h], NULL);
}
}
Here atomic_set might race with a concurrent memset (such as the
ones scheduled via "unsafe" async work, e.g. tlb_flush_page) and
therefore we might end up with a torn pointer (or who knows what,
because we are under undefined behaviour).
This patch converts parallel accesses to cpu->tb_jmp_cache to use
atomic primitives, thereby bringing these accesses back to defined
behaviour. The price to pay is to potentially execute more instructions
when clearing cpu->tb_jmp_cache, but given how infrequently they happen
and the small size of the cache, the performance impact I have measured
is within noise range when booting debian-arm.
Note that under "safe async" work (e.g. do_tb_flush) we could use memset
because no other vcpus are running. However I'm keeping these accesses
atomic as well to keep things simple and to avoid confusing analysis
tools such as ThreadSanitizer.

We know there will be cases where MTTCG won't work until additional work
is done in the front/back ends to support. It will however be useful to
be able to turn it on.
As a result MTTCG will default to off unless the combination is
supported. However the user can turn it on for the sake of testing.

In BE32 mode, sub-word size watchpoints can fail to trigger because the
address of the access is adjusted in the opcode helpers before being
compared with the watchpoint registers. This patch reverses the address
adjustment before performing the comparison with the help of a new CPUClass
hook.
This version of the patch augments and tidies up comments a little.
Backports commit 40612000599e52e792d23c998377a0fa429c4036 from qemu
softmmu requires more functions to be thread-safe, because translation
blocks can be invalidated from e.g. notdirty callbacks. Probably the
same holds for user-mode emulation, it's just that no one has ever
tried to produce a coherent locking there.
This patch will guide the introduction of more tb_lock and tb_unlock
calls for system emulation.
Note that after this patch some (most) of the mentioned functions are
still called outside tb_lock/tb_unlock. The next one will rectify this.

CPUState is a fairly common pointer to pass to these helpers. This means
if you need other arguments for the async_run_on_cpu case you end up
having to do a g_malloc to stuff additional data into the routine. For
the current users this isn't a massive deal but for MTTCG this gets
cumbersome when the only other parameter is often an address.
This adds the typedef run_on_cpu_func for helper functions which has an
explicit CPUState * passed as the first parameter. All the users of
run_on_cpu and async_run_on_cpu have had their helpers updated to use
CPUState where available.

Backports commit 3213525f8ab48742db09dab18cb9ae6f36a6c921 from qemu
'tb_invalidated_flag' was meant to catch two events:
* some TB has been invalidated by tb_phys_invalidate();
* the whole translation buffer has been flushed by tb_flush().
Then it was checked:
* in cpu_exec() to ensure that the last executed TB can be safely
linked to directly call the next one;
* in cpu_exec_nocache() to decide if the original TB should be provided
for further possible invalidation along with the temporarily
generated TB.
It is always safe to patch an invalidated TB since it is not going to be
used anyway. It is also safe to call tb_phys_invalidate() for an already
invalidated TB. Thus, setting this flag in tb_phys_invalidate() is
simply unnecessary. Moreover, it can prevent from pretty proper linking
of TBs, if any arbitrary TB has been invalidated. So just don't touch it
in tb_phys_invalidate().
If this flag is only used to catch whether tb_flush() has been called
then rename it to 'tb_flushed'. Declare it as 'bool' and stick to using
only 'true' and 'false' to set its value. Also, instead of setting it in
tb_gen_code(), just after tb_flush() has been called, do it right inside
of tb_flush().
In cpu_exec(), this flag is used to track if tb_flush() has been called
and have made 'next_tb' (a reference to the last executed TB) invalid
for linking it to directly call the next TB. tb_flush() can be called
during the CPU execution loop from tb_gen_code(), during TB execution or
by another thread while 'tb_lock' is released. Catch for translation
buffer flush reliably by resetting this flag once before first TB lookup
and each time we find it set before trying to add a direct jump. Don't
touch in in tb_find_physical().
Each vCPU has its own execution loop in multithreaded mode and thus
should have its own copy of the flag to be able to reset it with its own
'next_tb' and don't affect any other vCPU execution thread. So make this
flag per-vCPU and move it to CPUState.
In cpu_exec_nocache(), we only need to check if tb_flush() has been
called from tb_gen_code() called by cpu_exec_nocache() itself. To do
this reliably, preserve the old value of the flag, reset it before
calling tb_gen_code(), check afterwards, and combine the saved value
back to the flag.
This patch is based on the patch "tcg: move tb_invalidated_flag to
CPUState" from Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>.

When QEMU watchpoint matches, that is not definitely an architectural

is hardly possible to ignore it after throwing a TCG exception.
A special callback is introduced to check for architectural watchpoint
match before raising a TCG exception.

Add a new optional method get_phys_page_attrs_debug() to CPUClass.
This is like the existing get_phys_page_debug(), but also returns
the memory transaction attributes to use for the access.
This will be necessary for CPUs which have multiple address
spaces and use the attributes to select the correct address
space.
We provide a wrapper function cpu_get_phys_page_attrs_debug()
which falls back to the existing get_phys_page_debug(), so we
don't need to change every target CPU.

Allow multiple calls to cpu_address_space_init(); each

KVM, add an assertion to avoid confusing failures.

Rather than setting cpu->as unconditionally in cpu_exec_init
(and then having target-i386 override this later), don't set
it until the first call to cpu_address_space_init.
This requires us to initialise the address space for
both TCG and KVM (KVM doesn't need the AS listener but
it does require cpu->as to be set).
For target CPUs which don't set up any address spaces (currently
everything except i386), add the default address_space_memory
in qemu_init_vcpu().
