Very often the owner of the aliased region is the same as the owner of the alias
region itself. When this happens, the reference count can never go back to 0 and
the owner is leaked. This is for example breaking hot-unplug of virtio-pci
devices (the device cannot be plugged back again with the same id).
Another common use for alias is to transform the system I/O address space
into an MMIO regions; in this case the aliased region never dies, so there
is no problem. Otherwise the owner is always the same for aliasing
and aliased region.
I checked all calls to memory_region_init_alias introduced after commit
dfde4e6 (memory: add ref/unref calls, 2013-05-06) and they do not need the
reference in order to keep the owner of the aliased region alive.

All references to mr->ram_addr are replaced by
memory_region_get_ram_addr(mr) (except for a few assertions that are
replaced with mr->ram_block).
Backports commit 8e41fb63c5bf29ecabe0cee1239bf6230f19978a from qemu
We don't force "const" qualifiers with pointers in QEMU, but it's still
good to keep a clean function interface. Assigning to mr->ram_block is
in this sense ugly - one initializer mutating its owning object's state.
Move it to memory_region_init_*, where mr->ram_addr is assigned.

Previously we return RAMBlock.offset; now return the pointer to the
whole structure.
ram_block_add returns void now, error is completely passed with errp.

Commit cbc0326b6fb9 caused SRS instructions executed from Secure
EL1 to trap to EL3 even if the specified mode was not monitor mode.
According to the ARMv8 Architecture reference manual [F6.1.203], ALL
of the following conditions need to be met for SRS to trap to EL3:
* It is executed at Secure PL1.
* The specified mode is monitor mode.
* EL3 is using AArch64.
Correct the condition governing the trap to EL3 to check the
specified mode.

System emulation only has a little-endian target; BE32 mode
is implemented by adjusting the low bits of the address
for every byte and halfword load and store. 64-bit accesses
flip the low and high words.

Since this is not a high-performance path, just use a helper to
flip the E bit and force a lookup in the hash table since the
flags have changed.

Introduce a tbflags for endianness, set based upon the CPUs current
endianness. This in turn propagates through to the disas endianness
flag.
Backports commit 91cca2cda9823b1e7a049cb308a05104b5076cba from qemu
Introduce a disas flag for setting the CPU data endianness. This allows
control of the endianness from the CPU state rather than hard-coding it
to TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN.

Implement SCTLR.EE bit which controls data endianess for exceptions
and page table translations. SCTLR.EE is mirrored to the CPSR.E bit
on exception entry.

endian with address manipulations on subword accesses (to give the
illusion of BE). But user-mode cannot tell the difference and is
already implemented as straight BE. So handle the difference in the
endianess query, where USER mode is BE and system is not.

There is a CPU data endianness test that is used to drive the
virtio_big_endian test.
Move this up to the header so it can be more generally used for endian
tests. The KVM specific cpu_syncronize_state call is left behind in the
virtio specific function.
Rename it arm_cpu-data_is_big_endian() to more accurately capture that
this is for data accesses only.

bswap_code is a CPU property of sorts ("is the iside endianness the
opposite way round to TARGET_WORDS_BIGENDIAN?") but it is not the
actual CPU state involved here which is SCTLR.B (set for BE32
binaries, clear for BE8).
Replace bswap_code with SCTLR.B, and pass that to arm_ld*_code.
The next patches will make data fetches honor both SCTLR.B and
CPSR.E appropriately.

In helper.c the expression
(env->uncached_cpsr & CPSR_M) != CPSR_USER
is always true; the right hand side was supposed to be ARM_CPU_MODE_USR
(an error in commit cb01d391).
Since the incorrect expression was always true, this just meant that
commit cb01d391 had no effect.
However simply changing the RHS here would reveal a logic error: if
the mode is USR we wish to completely ignore the attempt to set the
mode bits, which means that we must clear the CPSR_M bits from mask
to avoid the uncached_cpsr bits being updated at the end of the
function.
Move the condition into the correct place in the code, fix its RHS
constant, and add a comment about the fact that we must be doing a
gdbstub write if we're in user mode.

The target-dependant type TCGv must be defined in "tcg/tcg.h" before
including the tracing helper wrappers in "tcg/tcg-op.h".
It also makes more sense to define it here, where other TCG types are
defined too.
Backports commit 5d4e1a1081d3f1ec2908ff0eaebe312389971ab4 from qemu
Adds the 'TCGv_env' type for pointers to 'CPUArchState' objects. The
tracing infrastructure later needs to differentiate between regular
pointers and pointers to vCPUs.
Also changes all targets to use the new 'TCGv_env' type instead of the
generic 'TCGv_ptr'. As of now, the change is merely cosmetic ('TCGv_env'
translates into 'TCGv_ptr'), but that could change in the future to
enforce the difference.
Note that a 'TCGv_env' type (for 'CPUState') is not added, since all
helpers currently receive the architecture-specific
pointer ('CPUArchState').
