glibc blacklists TSX on Haswell CPUs with model==60 and
stepping < 4. To make the Haswell CPU model more useful, make
those guests actually use TSX by changing CPU stepping to 4.

Backports commit 6568da459b611845ef55526cd23afc9fa9f4647f from qemu
Paths through the softmmu code during code generation now need to be audited
to check for double locking of tb_lock. In particular, VMEXIT can take tb_lock
through cpu_vmexit -> cpu_x86_update_cr4 -> tlb_flush.
To avoid this, split VMEXIT delivery in two parts, similar to what is done with
exceptions. cpu_vmexit only records the VMEXIT exit code and information, and
cc->do_interrupt can then deliver it when it is safe to take the lock.
Backports commit 10cde894b63146139f981857e4eedf756fa53dcb from qemu
The translation code uses cpu_ld*_code which can trigger a tlb_fill
which if it fails will erroneously attempts a fault resolution. This
never works during translation as the TB being generated hasn't been
added yet. The target should have checked retaddr before calling
cpu_restore_state but for those that have yet to be fixed we do it
here to avoid a recursive tb_lock() under MTTCG's new locking regime

Backports commit 72c1701f62e8d44eb24a0583a958edc280105455 from qemu
Fix the design flaw demonstrated in the previous commit: new method
check_list() lets input visitors report that unvisited input remains
for a list, exactly like check_struct() lets them report that
unvisited input remains for a struct or union.
Implement the method for the qobject input visitor (straightforward),
and the string input visitor (less so, due to the magic list syntax
there). The opts visitor's list magic is even more impenetrable, and
all I can do there today is a stub with a FIXME comment. No worse
than before.
Backports commit a4a1c70dc759e5b81627e96564f344ab43ea86eb from qemu
The split between tests/test-qobject-input-visitor.c and
tests/test-qobject-input-strict.c now makes less sense than ever. The
next commit will take care of that.
Backports commit 048abb7b20c9f822ad9d4b730bade73b3311a47a from qemu
Commit 240f64b made all qobject input visitors created outside tests
strict, except for the one in object_property_set_qobject(). That one
was left behind only because Eric couldn't spare the time to figure
out whether making it strict would break anything, with a TODO
comment. Time to resolve it.
Strict makes a difference only for otherwise successful visits of QAPI
structs or unions. Let's examine what the callers of
object_property_set_qobject() visit:
* object_property_set_str(), object_property_set_bool(),
object_property_set_int() visit a QString, QBool, QInt,
respectively. Strictness can't matter.
* qmp_qom_set visits its @value argument. Comes straight from QMP and
can be anything ('any' in the QAPI schema). Strictness matters when
the property's set() method visits a struct or union QAPI type.
No such methods exist, thus switching to strict can't break
anything.
If we acquire such methods in the future, we'll *want* the visitor
to be strict, so that unexpected members get rejected as they should
be.
Switch to strict.
Backports commit 05601ed2de60df0e344d6b783a6bc0c1ff2b5d1f from qemu
The string input visitor tries to cope with null input. Null input
isn't used anywhere, and isn't covered by tests. Unsurprisingly, it
doesn't fully work: start_list() crashes because it passes the input
via parse_str() to strtoll() unchecked.
Make string_input_visitor_new() assert its argument isn't null, and
drop the code trying to deal with null input.
The opts visitor crashes when you try to actually visit something with
null input. Make opts_visitor_new() assert its argument isn't null,
mostly for clarity.
qobject_input_visitor_new() already asserts its argument isn't null.
Backports commit f332e830e38b3ff3953ef02ac04e409ae53769c5 from qemu
visit_optional() is to be called only between visit_start_struct() and
visit_end_struct(). Visitors that don't support struct visits,
i.e. don't implement start_struct(), end_struct(), have no use for it.
Clarify documentation.
The string input visitor doesn't support struct visits. Its
parse_optional() is therefore useless. Drop it.
Backports commit a8aec6de2ac1a5e36989fdfba29067b361009b75 from qemu
Error messages refer to nodes of the QObject being visited by name.
Trouble is the names are sometimes less than helpful:
* The name of the root QObject is whatever @name argument got passed
to the visitor, except NULL gets mapped to "null". We commonly pass
NULL. Not good.
Avoiding errors "at the root" mitigates. For instance,
visit_start_struct() can only fail when the visited object is not a
dictionary, and we commonly ensure it is beforehand.
* The name of a QDict's member is the member key. Good enough only
when this happens to be unique.
* The name of a QList's member is "null". Not good.
Improve error messages by referring to nodes by path instead, as
follows:
* The path of the root QObject is whatever @name argument got passed
to the visitor, except NULL gets mapped to "<anonymous>".
* The path of a root QDict's member is the member key.
* The path of a root QList's member is "[%u]", where %u is the list
index, starting at zero.
* The path of a non-root QDict's member is the path of the QDict
concatenated with "." and the member key.
* The path of a non-root QList's member is the path of the QList
concatenated with "[%u]", where %u is the list index.
For example, the incorrect QMP command
{ "execute": "blockdev-add", "arguments": { "node-name": "foo", "driver": "raw", "file": {"driver": "file" } } }
now fails with
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Parameter 'file.filename' is missing"}}
instead of
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Parameter 'filename' is missing"}}
and
{ "execute": "input-send-event", "arguments": { "device": "bar", "events": [ [] ] } }
now fails with
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'events[0]', expected: object"}}
instead of
{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid parameter type for 'null', expected: QDict"}}
Aside: calling the thing "parameter" is suboptimal for QMP, because
the root object is "arguments" there.
The qobject output visitor doesn't have this problem because it should
not fail. Same for dealloc and clone visitors.
The string visitors don't have this problem because they visit just
one value, whose name needs to be passed to the visitor as @name. The
string output visitor shouldn't fail anyway.
The options visitor uses QemuOpts names. Their name space is flat, so
the use of QDict member keys as names is fine. NULL names used with
roots and lists could conceivably result in bad error messages. Left
for another day.
Backports commit a9fc37f6bc3f2ab90585cb16493da9f6dcfbfbcf from qemu
qobject_input_start_struct() sets *list, except when it fails because
qobject_input_get_object() fails, i.e. the input object doesn't exist.
All the other input visitor start_struct(), start_list(),
start_alternate() always set *obj / *list.
Change qobject_input_start_struct() to match.
Backports commit 58561c27669ddf1c6d39ff8ce25837c6f2d9d92c from qemu
The QObject input visitor has three error message formats:
* Parameter '%s' is missing
* "Invalid parameter type for '%s', expected: %s"
* "QMP input object member '%s' is unexpected"
The '%s' are member names (or "null", but I'll fix that later).
The last error message calls the thing "QMP input object member"
instead of "parameter". Misleading when the visitor is used on
QObjects that don't come from QMP. Change it to "Parameter '%s' is
unexpected".
Backports commit 910f738b851a263396fc85b2052e47f884ffead3 from qemu
The QERR_ macros are leftovers from the days of "rich" error objects.
QERR_QMP_BAD_INPUT_OBJECT, QERR_QMP_BAD_INPUT_OBJECT_MEMBER,
QERR_QMP_EXTRA_MEMBER are used in just one place now, except for one
use that has crept into qobject-input-visitor.c.
Drop these macros, to make the (bad) error messages more visible.
Backports commit 99fb0c53c038105bae68b02a3d9f1cbf7951ba10 from qemu
At the moment ram device's memory regions are DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN. It's
incorrect. This memory region is backed by a MMIO area in host, so the
uint64_t data that MemoryRegionOps read from/write to this area should be
host-endian rather than target-endian. Hence, current code does not work
when target and host endianness are different which is the most common case
on PPC64. To fix it, this introduces DEVICE_HOST_ENDIAN for the ram device.
This has been tested on PPC64 BE/LE host/guest in all possible combinations
including TCG.

In float64_to_uint64_round_to_zero() a typo meant that we were
taking the uint64_t return value from float64_to_uint64() and

back and forth to int64_t.
Backports commit d000b477f2693dbca97cd8ea751c2e0b71890662 from qemu
In get_page_addr_code(), if the guest PC doesn't correspond to RAM
then we currently run the CPU's do_unassigned_access() hook if it has
one, and otherwise we give up and exit QEMU with a more-or-less
useful message. This code assumes that the do_unassigned_access hook
will never return, because if it does then we'll plough on attempting
to use a non-RAM TLB entry to get a RAM address and will abort() in
qemu_ram_addr_from_host_nofail(). Unfortunately some CPU
implementations of this hook do return: Microblaze, SPARC and the ARM
v7M.
Change the code to call report_bad_exec() if the hook returns, as
well as if it didn't have one. This means we can tidy it up to use
the cpu_unassigned_access() function which wraps the "get the CPU
class and call the hook if it has one" work, since we aren't trying
to distinguish "no hook" from "hook existed and returned" any more.
This brings the handling of this hook into line with the handling
used for data accesses, where "hook returned" is treated the
same as "no hook existed" and gets you the default behaviour.

This enables the multi-threaded system emulation by default for ARMv7
and ARMv8 guests using the x86_64 TCG backend. This is because on the
guest side:
- The ARM translate.c/translate-64.c have been converted to
- use MTTCG safe atomic primitives
- emit the appropriate barrier ops
- The ARM machine has been updated to
- hold the BQL when modifying shared cross-vCPU state
- defer powerctl changes to async safe work
All the host backends support the barrier and atomic primitives but
need to provide same-or-better support for normal load/store
operations.
Backports commit ca759f9e387db87e1719911f019bc60c74be9ed8 from qemu
The WFE and YIELD instructions are really only hints and in TCG's case
they were useful to move the scheduling on from one vCPU to the next. In
the parallel context (MTTCG) this just causes an unnecessary cpu_exit
and contention of the BQL.

Backports commit 857baec1d9e80947f0c1007c3a3d2331d62b4b53 from qemu
While the vargs approach was flexible the original MTTCG ended up
having munge the bits to a bitmap so the data could be used in
deferred work helpers. Instead of hiding that in cputlb we push the
change to the API to make it take a bitmap of MMU indexes instead.
For ARM some the resulting flushes end up being quite long so to aid
readability I've tended to move the index shifting to a new line so
all the bits being or-ed together line up nicely, for example:
tlb_flush_page_by_mmuidx(other_cs, pageaddr,
(1 << ARMMMUIdx_S1SE1) |
(1 << ARMMMUIdx_S1SE0));
Backports commit 0336cbf8532935d8e23c2aabf3e2ce2c0697b6ac from qemu
The patch enables handling atomic code in the guest. This should be
preferably done in cpu_handle_exception(), but the current assumptions
regarding when we can execute atomic sections cause a deadlock.
The current mechanism discards the flags which were set in atomic
execution. We ensure they are properly saved by calling the
cc->cpu_exec_enter/leave() functions around the loop.
As we are running cpu_exec_step_atomic() from the outermost loop we
need to avoid an abort() when single stepping over atomic code since
debug exception longjmp will point to the the setlongjmp in
cpu_exec(). We do this by setting a new jmp_env so that it jumps back
here on an exception.

There are a couple of changes that occur at the same time here:
- introduce a single vCPU qemu_tcg_cpu_thread_fn
One of these is spawned per vCPU with its own Thread and Condition
variables. qemu_tcg_rr_cpu_thread_fn is the new name for the old
single threaded function.
- the TLS current_cpu variable is now live for the lifetime of MTTCG
vCPU threads. This is for future work where async jobs need to know
the vCPU context they are operating in.
The user to switch on multi-thread behaviour and spawn a thread
per-vCPU. For a simple test kvm-unit-test like:
./arm/run ./arm/locking-test.flat -smp 4 -accel tcg,thread=multi
Will now use 4 vCPU threads and have an expected FAIL (instead of the
unexpected PASS) as the default mode of the test has no protection when
incrementing a shared variable.
We enable the parallel_cpus flag to ensure we generate correct barrier
and atomic code if supported by the front and backends. This doesn't
automatically enable MTTCG until default_mttcg_enabled() is updated to
check the configuration is supported.
Backports relevant parts of commit 372579427a5040a26dfee78464b50e2bdf27ef26
There are now only two uses of the global exit_request left.
The first ensures we exit the run_loop when we first start to process
pending work and in the kick handler. This is just as easily done by
setting the first_cpu->exit_request flag.
The second use is in the round robin kick routine. The global
exit_request ensured every vCPU would set its local exit_request and
cause a full exit of the loop. Now the iothread isn't being held while
running we can just rely on the kick handler to push us out as intended.
We lightly re-factor the main vCPU thread to ensure cpu->exit_requests
cause us to exit the main loop and process any IO requests that might
come along. As an cpu->exit_request may legitimately get squashed
while processing the EXCP_INTERRUPT exception we also check
cpu->queued_work_first to ensure queued work is expedited as soon as
possible.

..and make the definition local to cpus. In preparation for MTTCG the
concept of a global tcg_current_cpu will no longer make sense. However
we still need to keep track of it in the single-threaded case to be able
to exit quickly when required.
qemu_cpu_kick_no_halt() moves and becomes qemu_cpu_kick_rr_cpu() to
emphasise its use-case. qemu_cpu_kick now kicks the relevant cpu as
well as qemu_kick_rr_cpu() which will become a no-op in MTTCG.
For the time being the setting of the global exit_request remains.

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.
