target-i386: remove helper_lock()
...
It's been superseded by the atomic helpers.
The use of the atomic helpers provides a significant performance and scalability
improvement. Below is the result of running the atomic_add-test microbenchmark with:
$ x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x86_64 tests/atomic_add-bench -o 5000000 -r $r -n $n
, where $n is the number of threads and $r is the allowed range for the additions.
The scenarios measured are:
- atomic: implements x86' ADDL with the atomic_add helper (i.e. this patchset)
- cmpxchg: implement x86' ADDL with a TCG loop using the cmpxchg helper
- master: before this patchset
Results sorted in ascending range, i.e. descending degree of contention.
Y axis is Throughput in Mops/s. Tests are run on an AMD machine with 64
Opteron 6376 cores.

For master I stopped measuring master after 8 threads, because there is little
point in measuring the well-known performance collapse of a contended lock.

target-i386: emulate LOCK'ed cmpxchg using cmpxchg helpers
...
The diff here is uglier than necessary. All this does is to turn
FOO
into:
if (s->prefix & PREFIX_LOCK) {
BAR
} else {
FOO
}
where FOO is the original implementation of an unlocked cmpxchg.

Fix confusing argument names in some common functions
...
There are functions tlb_fill(), cpu_unaligned_access() and
do_unaligned_access() that are called with access type and mmu index
arguments. But these arguments are named 'is_write' and 'is_user' in their
declarations. The patches fix the arguments to avoid a confusion.

cpu: move exec-all.h inclusion out of cpu.h
...
exec-all.h contains TCG-specific definitions. It is not needed outside
TCG-specific files such as translate.c, exec.c or *helper.c.
One generic function had snuck into include/exec/exec-all.h; move it to
include/qom/cpu.h.
