In U-boot, we switch from S-SVC -> Mon -> Hyp mode when we want to
enter Hyp mode. The change into Hyp mode is done by doing an
exception return from Mon. This doesn't work with current QEMU.
The problem is that in bad_mode_switch() we refuse to allow
the change of mode.
Note that bad_mode_switch() is used to do validation for two situations:
(1) changes to mode by instructions writing to CPSR.M
(ie not exception take/return) -- this corresponds to the
Armv8 Arm ARM pseudocode Arch32.WriteModeByInstr
(2) changes to mode by exception return
Attempting to enter or leave Hyp mode via case (1) is forbidden in
v8 and UNPREDICTABLE in v7, and QEMU is correct to disallow it
there. However, we're already doing that check at the top of the
bad_mode_switch() function, so if that passes then we should allow
the case (2) exception return mode changes to switch into Hyp mode.
We want to test whether we're trying to return to the nonexistent
"secure Hyp" mode, so we need to look at arm_is_secure_below_el3()
rather than arm_is_secure(), since the latter is always true if
we're in Mon (EL3).
Backports commit 2d2a4549cc29850aab891495685a7b31f5254b12 from qemu
Some functionality is dependent on the Python version
detected/configured on configure. While it's possible to run the
Python version later and check for the version, doing it once is
preferable. Also, it's a relevant information to keep in build logs,
as the overall behavior of the build can be affected by it.
Backports commit 755ee70ff758584b8b6190b2cab4b480402af201 from qemu
GCC 8 introduced the -Wstringop-truncation checker to detect truncation by
the strncat and strncpy functions (closely related to -Wstringop-overflow,
which detect buffer overflow by string-modifying functions declared in
<string.h>).
In tandem of -Wstringop-truncation, the "nonstring" attribute was added:
The nonstring variable attribute specifies that an object or member
declaration with type array of char, signed char, or unsigned char,
or pointer to such a type is intended to store character arrays that
do not necessarily contain a terminating NUL. This is useful in detecting
uses of such arrays or pointers with functions that expect NUL-terminated
strings, and to avoid warnings when such an array or pointer is used as
an argument to a bounded string manipulation function such as strncpy.
From the GCC manual: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Common-Variable-Attributes.html#index-nonstring-variable-attribute
Add the QEMU_NONSTRING macro which checks if the compiler supports this
attribute.

It was found that QMP users of QEMU (e.g. libvirt) may need
HV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO.EAX/HV_CPUID_NESTED_FEATURES.EAX information. In
particular, 'hv_tlbflush' and 'hv_evmcs' enlightenments are only exposed in
HV_CPUID_ENLIGHTMENT_INFO.EAX.
HV_CPUID_NESTED_FEATURES.EAX is exposed for two reasons: convenience
(we don't need to export it from hyperv_handle_properties() and as
future-proof for Enlightened MSR-Bitmap, PV EPT invalidation and
direct virtual flush features.

MPX support is being phased out by Intel; GCC has dropped it, Linux
is also going to do that. Even though KVM will have special code
to support MPX after the kernel proper stops enabling it in XCR0,
we probably also want to deprecate that in a few years. As a start,
do not enable it by default for any named CPU model starting with
the 4.0 machine types; this include Skylake, Icelake and Cascadelake.

If any of these signals happen on macOS, they are not delivered to other
threads and signalfd_compat receives nothing. Indeed, POSIX reference
and sigprocmask(2) note that an attempt to block the signals results in
undefined behaviour. SEGV and FPE can't also be received by signalfd(2)
on Linux.
An ability to retrieve SIGBUS via signalfd(2) is used by QEMU for
memory preallocation therefore we can't unblock it without consequences.
But it's important to leave a remark that the signal is lost on macOS.

Add translation handlers for four logic MXU instructions.
It should be noted that there is an error in MXU documentation (dated
June 2017) regarding opcodes for this group of instructions. This was
confirmed by running tests on hardware, and also by looking up other
related public source trees (binutils, Android NDK). In initial MXU
patches to QEMU, opcodes for MXU logic instructions were created to
be in accordance with the MXU documentation, therefore the error from
was propagated. This patch corrects that, changing the involved code.
Besides that, as MXU was designed and implemented only for 32-bit
CPUs, corresponding preprosessor conditions were added around MXU
code, which allows more flexible implementation of MXU handlers.

ATOMIC_REG_SIZE is currently defined as the default sizeof(void *) for
all MIPS host builds, including those using the n32 ABI. n32 is the
MIPS64 ILP32 ABI and as such tcg/mips/tcg-target.h defines
TCG_TARGET_REG_BITS as 64 for n32 builds. If we attempt to build QEMU
for an n32 host with support for a 64b target architecture then
TCG_OVERSIZED_GUEST is 0 and accel/tcg/cputlb.c attempts to use
atomic_* functions. This fails because ATOMIC_REG_SIZE is 4, causing
the calls to QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(*ptr) > ATOMIC_REG_SIZE) in the
various atomic_* functions to generate errors.
Fix this by defining ATOMIC_REG_SIZE as 8 for all MIPS64 builds, which
will cover both n32 (ILP32) & n64 (LP64) ABIs in much the same was as
we already do for x86_64/x32.

This new argument will aid register allocation by indicating how

be satisfied, fall back to the constraints of the current insn.
Short circuit the preference when it cannot be satisfied or if

With an eye toward optimizing function call sequences, optimize
for the preferred_reg set containing a single register.
For the moment, all users pass 0 for preference.

The appended paves the way for leveraging the host FPU for a subset
of guest FP operations. For most guest workloads (e.g. FP flags
aren't ever cleared, inexact occurs often and rounding is set to the
default [to nearest]) this will yield sizable performance speedups.
The approach followed here avoids checking the FP exception flags register.
See the added comment for details.
This assumes that QEMU is running on an IEEE754-compliant FPU and
that the rounding is set to the default (to nearest). The
implementation-dependent specifics of the FPU should not matter; things
like tininess detection and snan representation are still dealt with in
soft-fp. However, this approach will break on most hosts if we compile
QEMU with flags that break IEEE compatibility. There is no way to detect
all of these flags at compilation time, but at least we check for
-ffast-math (which defines __FAST_MATH__) and disable hardfloat
(plus emit a #warning) when it is set.
This patch just adds common code. Some operations will be migrated
to hardfloat in subsequent patches to ease bisection.
Note: some architectures (at least PPC, there might be others) clear
the status flags passed to softfloat before most FP operations. This
precludes the use of hardfloat, so to avoid introducing a performance
regression for those targets, we add a flag to disable hardfloat.
In the long run though it would be good to fix the targets so that
at least the inexact flag passed to softfloat is indeed sticky.
