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.

Briefly describe in a comment how direct block chaining is done. It
should help in understanding of the following data fields.
Rename some fields in TranslationBlock and TCGContext structures to
better reflect their purpose (dropping excessive 'tb_' prefix in
TranslationBlock but keeping it in TCGContext):
tb_next_offset => jmp_reset_offset
tb_jmp_offset => jmp_insn_offset
tb_next => jmp_target_addr
jmp_next => jmp_list_next
jmp_first => jmp_list_first
Avoid using a magic constant as an invalid offset which is used to
indicate that there's no n-th jump generated.

Ensure direct jump patching in i386 is atomic by:
* naturally aligning a location of direct jump address;
* using atomic_read()/atomic_set() for code patching.

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Since commit 757e725b (tcg: Clean up includes) "config.h" as been
replaced by "qemu/osdep.h" which itself includes 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.
Backports commit eabb7b91b36b202b4dac2df2d59d698e3aff197a from qemu
Commit 757e725b58c57d added a number of #include "qemu/osdep.h"
files to the tcg-target.c files (as they were named at the time).
These are unnecessary because these files are not standalone C
files, and the tcg/tcg.c file which includes them will have
already included osdep.h on their behalf. Remove the unneeded
include directives.
Backports commit c3b7f66800fbf9f47fddbcf2e2cd30ea932e0aae from qemu
Rename the per-architecture tcg-target.c files to tcg-target.inc.c.
This makes it clearer that they are not intended to be standalone
C files, but are instead #included into another source file.
Backports commit ce151109813e2770fd3cee2f37bfa2cdd01a12b9 from qemu
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.
This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes.
Backports commit 757e725b58c57d3ebb66a31fd2210df977a12154 from qemu
Softmmu unaligned load/stores currently goes through through the slow
path for two reasons:
- to support unaligned access on host with strict alignement
- to correctly handle accesses crossing pages
x86 is only concerned by the second reason. Unaligned accesses are
avoided by compilers, but are not uncommon. We therefore would like
to see them going through the fast path, if they don't cross pages.
For that we can use the fact that two adjacent TLB entries can't contain
the same page. Therefore accessing the TLB entry corresponding to the
first byte, but comparing its content to page address of the last byte
ensures that we don't cross pages. We can do this check without adding
more instructions in the TLB code (but increasing its length by one
byte) by using the LEA instruction to combine the existing move with the
size addition.
On an x86-64 host, this gives a 3% boot time improvement for a powerpc
guest and 4% for an x86-64 guest.

This will be used to size the TLB when more than 8 MMU modes are
used by the target. Limitations come from the limited size of
the immediate fields (which sometimes, as in the case of Aarch64,
extend to instructions that shift the immediate).

Rather than allow arbitrary shift+trunc, only concern ourselves
with low and high parts. This is all that was being used anyway.

Implement real ext_i32_i64 and extu_i32_i64 ops. They ensure that a
32-bit value is always converted to a 64-bit value and not propagated
through the register allocator or the optimizer.
Backports commit 4f2331e5b67af8172419eb1c8db510b497b30a7b from qemu
The op is sometimes named trunc_shr_i32 and sometimes trunc_shr_i64_i32,
and the name in the README doesn't match the name offered to the
frontends.
Always use the long name to make it clear it is a size changing op.

The addition of MO_AMASK means that places that used inverted masks
need to be changed to use positive masks, and places that failed to
mask the intended bits need updating.

The extra information is not yet used but it is now available.
This requires minor changes through all of the tcg backends.
Backports commit 3972ef6f830d65e9bacbd31257abedc055fd6dc8 from qemu
At the tcg opcode level, not at the tcg-op.h generator level.
This requires minor changes through all of the tcg backends,
but none of the cpu translators.

This is less about improved type checking than enabling a
subsequent change to the representation of labels.
Backports commit bec1631100323fac0900aea71043d5c4e22fc2fa from qemu
This is improved type checking for the translators -- it's no longer
possible to accidentally swap arguments to the branch functions.
Note that the code generating backends still manipulate labels as int.
With notable exceptions, the scope of the change is just a few lines
for each target, so it's not worth building extra machinery to do this
change in per-target increments.
