The x86 vector instruction set is extremely irregular. With newer
editions, Intel has filled in some of the blanks. However, we don't
get many 64-bit operations until SSE4.2, introduced in 2009.
The subsequent edition was for AVX1, introduced in 2011, which added
three-operand addressing, and adjusts how all instructions should be
encoded.
Given the relatively narrow 2 year window between possible to support
and desirable to support, and to vastly simplify code maintainence,
I am only planning to support AVX1 and later cpus.

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.

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.
Backports commit 2cd53943115be5118b5b2d4b80ee0a39c94c4f73 from qemu
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

very convenient. Furthermore, it trivially allows us to avoid calling
the lookup helper if goto_ptr is not implemented by the backend.

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.

Setting skip_dump on a MemoryRegion allows us to modify one specific

more than that. If we have a RAM MemoryRegion backed by a physical

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.

Postcopy sends RAMBlock names and offsets over the wire (since it can't
rely on the order of ramaddr being the same), and it starts out with
HVA fault addresses from the kernel.
qemu_ram_block_from_host translates a HVA into a RAMBlock, an offset
in the RAMBlock and the global ram_addr_t value.
Rewrite qemu_ram_addr_from_host to use qemu_ram_block_from_host.
Provide qemu_ram_get_idstr since its the actual name text sent on the
wire.

This makes ROM blocks resizeable. This infrastructure is required for other
functionality we have queued.
Backports commit aaf03019175949eda5087329448b8a0033b89479 from qemu
A QEMU breakpoint match is not definitely an architectural breakpoint
match. If an exception is generated unconditionally during translation,
it is hardly possible to ignore it in the debug exception handler.
Generate a call to a helper to check CPU breakpoints and raise an
exception only if any breakpoint matches architecturally.

It is no longer used, so tidy up everything reached by it.
This includes the gen_opc_* arrays, the search_pc parameter
and the inline gen_intermediate_code_internal functions.
Backports commit 4e5e1215156662b2b153255c49d4640d82c5568b from qemu
This patch introduces loop exit function, which also
restores guest CPU state according to the value of host
program counter.

This is particularly useful when we abort in error_propagate(),
because there the stack backtrace doesn't lead to where the error was
created. Looks like this:
Unexpected error in parse_block_error_action() at .../qemu/blockdev.c:322:
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=none,werror=foo: 'foo' invalid write error action
Aborted (core dumped)
Note: to get this example output, I monkey-patched drive_new() to pass
&error_abort to blockdev_init().
To keep the error handling boiler plate from growing even more, all
error_setFOO() become macros expanding into error_setFOO_internal()
with additional __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__ arguments. Not exactly
pretty, but it works.
The macro trickery breaks down when you take the address of an
error_setFOO(). Fortunately, we do that in just one place: qemu-ga's
Windows VSS provider and requester DLL wants to call
error_setg_win32() through a function pointer "to avoid linking glib
to the DLL". Use error_setg_win32_internal() there. The use of the
function pointer is already wrapped in a macro, so the churn isn't
bad.
Code size increases by some 35KiB for me (0.7%). Tolerable. Could be
less if we passed relative rather than absolute source file names to
the compiler, or forwent reporting __func__.
Backports commit 1e9b65bb1bad51735cab6c861c29b592dccabf0e from qemu
For the A64 instruction set, the semihosting call instruction
is 'HLT 0xf000'. Wire this up to call do_arm_semihosting()
if semihosting is enabled.
Backports commit 8012c84ff92a36d05dfe61af9b24dd01a7ea25e4 from qemu
Guest CPU TLB maintenance operations may be sufficiently
specialized to only need to flush TLB entries corresponding
to a particular MMU index. Implement cputlb functions for
this, to avoid the inefficiency of flushing TLB entries
which we don't need to.
Backports commit d7a74a9d4a68e27b3a8ceda17bb95cb0a23d8e4d from qemu
On CPUs with EL3, there are two physical timers, one for Secure and one
for Non-secure. Implement this extra timer and the AArch64 registers
which access it.
Backports commit b4d3978c2fdf944e428a46d2850dbd950b6fbe78 from qemu
Introduce a new crypto/ directory that will (eventually) contain
all the cryptographic related code. This initially defines a
wrapper for initializing gnutls and for computing hashes with
gnutls. The former ensures that gnutls is guaranteed to be
initialized exactly once in QEMU regardless of CLI args. The
block quorum code currently fails to initialize gnutls so it
only works by luck, if VNC server TLS is not requested. The
hash APIs avoids the need to litter the rest of the code with
preprocessor checks and simplifies callers by allocating the
correct amount of memory for the requested hash.
Backports commit ddbb0d09661f5fce21b335ba9aea8202d189b98e from qemu
This introduces the memory region property "global_locking". It is true
by default. By setting it to false, a device model can request BQL-free
dispatching of region accesses to its r/w handlers. The actual BQL
break-up will be provided in a separate patch.
Backports commit 196ea13104f802c508e57180b2a0d2b3418989a3 from qemu
Currently we use DISAS_WFE for both WFE and YIELD instructions.
This is functionally correct because at the moment both of them
are implemented as "yield this CPU back to the top level loop so
another CPU has a chance to run". However it's rather confusing
that YIELD ends up calling HELPER(wfe), and if we ever want to
implement real behaviour for WFE and SEV it's likely to trip us up.
Split out the yield codepath to use DISAS_YIELD and a new
HELPER(yield) function, and have HELPER(wfe) call HELPER(yield).
