For a 64-bit ILP32 host, aligning to sizeof(long) is not enough.
Guess the minimum for any host is 8, as that covers uint64_t.
Qemu doesn't use a host long double or host vectors, except in
extremely limited circumstances.
Fixes a bus error for a sparc v8plus host.

Coldfire uses float64, but 680x0 use floatx80.
This patch introduces the use of floatx80 internally
and enables 680x0 80bits FPU.
Backports commit f83311e4764f1f25a8abdec2b32c64483be1759b 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:

Backports commit 6e3b2bfd6af488a896f7936e99ef160f8f37e6f2 from qemu
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
supported. However the user can turn it on for the sake of testing.

We'll be using the memory ordering definitions to define values for
both the host and guest. To avoid fighting with circular header
dependencies just move these types into their own minimal header.

an expansion for ctz.

The typedefs we use for the TCGv_i32, TCGv_i64 and TCGv_ptr
types are somewhat confusing, because we define them as
pointers to structs, but the structs themselves are never
defined. Explain in the comments a bit more clearly why
this is OK and what is going on under the hood.
Backports commit a40d4701bc9f6e6a3bbfb7b4fbe756a5b72b5df1 from qemu
softmmu requires more functions to be thread-safe, because translation
blocks can be invalidated from e.g. notdirty callbacks. Probably the
same holds for user-mode emulation, it's just that no one has ever
tried to produce a coherent locking there.
This patch will guide the introduction of more tb_lock and tb_unlock
calls for system emulation.
Note that after this patch some (most) of the mentioned functions are
still called outside tb_lock/tb_unlock. The next one will rectify this.
Backports commit 7d7500d99895f888f97397ef32bb536bb0df3b74 from qemu
Force the use of cmpxchg16b on x86_64.
Wikipedia suggests that only very old AMD64 (circa 2004) did not have
this instruction. Further, it's required by Windows 8 so no new cpus
will ever omit it.
If we truely care about these, then we could check this at startup time
and then avoid executing paths that use it.

Previously we allowed fully unaligned operations, but not operations
that are aligned but with less alignment than the operation size.
In addition, arm32, ia64, mips, and sparc had been omitted from the
previous overalignment patch, which would have led to that alignment
being enforced.

Backports commit d4b84d564ee3eb7a58e4585d671fb3c220b6c3b9 from qemu
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.

Assertions help both Coverity and the clang static analyzer avoid
false positives, but on the other hand both are confused when
the condition is compiled as (void)(x != FOO). Always expand
assertion macros when using Coverity or clang, through a new
QEMU_STATIC_ANALYSIS preprocessor symbol.
This fixes a couple false positives in TCG.
Backports commit 8bff06a0bbf257a2083223534c1607bf87d913e6 from qemu
Knowing the value of %asi at translation time means that we
can handle the common settings without a function call.
The steady state appears to be %asi == ASI_P, so that sparcv9
code can use offset forms of lda/sta. The %asi register gets
pushed and popped on entry to certain functions, but it rarely
takes on values other than ASI_P or ASI_AIUP. Therefore we're
unlikely to be expanding the set of TBs created.

The global is only ever read for one insn; we can just as well
use a load from env instead and generate the same code. This
also allows us to indicate the the associated helpers do not
touch TCG globals.
Backports commit e86ceb0d652baa5738e05a59ee0e7989dafbeaa1 from qemu
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.

Information is tracked inside the TCGContext structure, and later used
by tracing events with the 'tcg' and 'vcpu' properties.
The 'cpu' field is used to check tracing of translation-time
events ("*_trans"). The 'tcg_env' field is used to pass it to
execution-time events ("*_exec").

Backports commit 00f6da6a1a5d1ce085334eccbb50ec899ceed513 from qemu
The value returned from tcg_qemu_tb_exec() is the value passed to the
corresponding tcg_gen_exit_tb() at translation time of the last TB
attempted to execute. It is a little confusing to store it in a variable
named 'next_tb'. In fact, it is a combination of 4-byte aligned pointer
and additional information in its two least significant bits. Break it
down right away into two variables named 'last_tb' and 'tb_exit' which
are a pointer to the last TB attempted to execute and the TB exit
reason, correspondingly. This simplifies the code and improves its
readability.
Correct a misleading documentation comment for tcg_qemu_tb_exec() and
fix logging in cpu_tb_exec(). Also rename a misleading 'next_tb' in
another couple of places.
Backports commit 819af24b9c1e95e6576f1cefd32f4d6bf56dfa56 from qemu
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.
