In the v7M architecture, there is an invariant that if the CPU is
in Handler mode then the CONTROL.SPSEL bit cannot be nonzero.
This in turn means that the current stack pointer is always
indicated by CONTROL.SPSEL, even though Handler mode always uses
the Main stack pointer.
In v8M, this invariant is removed, and CONTROL.SPSEL may now
be nonzero in Handler mode (though Handler mode still always
uses the Main stack pointer). In preparation for this change,
change how we handle this bit: rename switch_v7m_sp() to
the now more accurate write_v7m_control_spsel(), and make it
check both the handler mode state and the SPSEL bit.
Note that this implicitly changes the point at which we switch
active SP on exception exit from before we pop the exception
frame to after it.

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.

Implement the BXNS v8M instruction, which is like BX but will do a
jump-and-switch-to-NonSecure if the branch target address has bit 0
clear.
This is the first piece of code which implements "switch to the
other security state", so the commit also includes the code to
switch the stack pointers around, which is the only complicated
part of switching security state.
BLXNS is more complicated than just "BXNS but set the link register",
so we leave it for a separate commit.

Commit 1f5c00cfdb8114c ("qom/cpu: move tlb_flush to cpu_common_reset")
moved the call to tlb_flush() from the target-specific reset handlers
into the common code qom/cpu.c file, and protected the call with
"#ifdef CONFIG_SOFTMMU" to avoid that it is called for linux-user
only targets. But since qom/cpu.c is common code, CONFIG_SOFTMMU is
*never* defined here, so the tlb_flush() was simply never executed
anymore. Fix it by introducing a wrapper for tlb_flush() in a file
that is re-compiled for each target, i.e. in translate-all.c.

Allocating an arbitrarily-sized array of tbs results in either
(a) a lot of memory wasted or (b) unnecessary flushes of the code
cache when we run out of TB structs in the array.
An obvious solution would be to just malloc a TB struct when needed,
and keep the TB array as an array of pointers (recall that tb_find_pc()
needs the TB array to run in O(log n)).
Perhaps a better solution, which is implemented in this patch, is to
allocate TB's right before the translated code they describe. This
results in some memory waste due to padding to have code and TBs in
separate cache lines--for instance, I measured 4.7% of padding in the
used portion of code_gen_buffer when booting aarch64 Linux on a
host with 64-byte cache lines. However, it can allow for optimizations
in some host architectures, since TCG backends could safely assume that
the TB and the corresponding translated code are very close to each
other in memory. See this message by rth for a detailed explanation:

Instead of exporting goto_ptr directly to TCG frontends, export
tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptr(), which calls goto_ptr with the pointer
returned by the lookup_tb_ptr() helper. This is the only use case
we have for goto_ptr and lookup_tb_ptr, so having this function is
very convenient. Furthermore, it trivially allows us to avoid calling
the lookup helper if goto_ptr is not implemented by the backend.

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

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.

Device models often have to perform multiple access to a single

functions instead of address_space_map/unmap. This can happen

Introduce a new data structure to cache the result of
address_space_translate without forcing usage of a host address
like address_space_map does.

Several helpers call helper_raise_exception directly, which requires
in turn that their callers have performed save_state. The new function
allows a TCG return address to be passed in so that we can restore
PC + NPC + flags data from that.
This fixes a bug in the usage of helper_check_align, whose callers had
not been calling save_state. It fixes another bug in which the divide
helpers used GETPC at a level other than the direct callee from TCG.
This allows the translator to avoid save_state prior to SAVE, RESTORE,
and FLUSHW instructions.

Allow qemu to build on 32-bit hosts without 64-bit atomic ops.

Support target CPUs having a page size which isn't knownn
at compile time. To use this, the CPU implementation should:
* define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_VARY
* not define TARGET_PAGE_BITS
* define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN to the smallest value it
might possibly want for TARGET_PAGE_BITS
* call set_preferred_target_page_bits() in its realize
function to indicate the actual preferred target page
size for the CPU (and report any error from it)
In CONFIG_USER_ONLY, the CPU implementation should continue
to define TARGET_PAGE_BITS appropriately for the guest
OS page size.
Machines which want to take advantage of having the page
size something larger than TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN must
set the MachineClass minimum_page_bits field to a value
which they guarantee will be no greater than the preferred
page size for any CPU they create.
Note that changing the target page size by setting
minimum_page_bits is a migration compatibility break
for that machine.
For debugging purposes, attempts to use TARGET_PAGE_SIZE
before it has been finally confirmed will assert.

Removing dependency can help to make TARGET_PAGE_BITS

Setting skip_dump on a MemoryRegion allows us to modify one specific
code path, but the restriction we're trying to address encompasses
more than that. If we have a RAM MemoryRegion backed by a physical
device, it not only restricts our ability to dump that region, but
also affects how we should manipulate it. Here we recognize that
MemoryRegions do not change to sometimes allow dumps and other times
not, so we replace setting the skip_dump flag with a new initializer
so that we know exactly the type of region to which we're applying
this behavior.

Rather than rely on recursion during the middle of register allocation,
lower indirect registers to loads and stores off the indirect base into
plain temps.
For an x86_64 host, with sufficient registers, this results in identical
code, modulo the actual register assignments.
For an i686 host, with insufficient registers, this means that temps can
be (temporarily) spilled to the stack in order to satisfy an allocation.
This as opposed to the possibility of not being able to spill, to allocate
a register for the indirect base, in order to perform a spill.
