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.

Already it saves 2 bytes per call, but also the constant pool
entry may well be shared across multiple calls.
Backports commit 4e45f23943c0bb91588627de3801826546155ad8 from qemu
Dispense with TCGBackendData, as it has never been used for more than
holding a single pointer. Use a define in the cpu/tcg-target.h to
signal requirement for TCGLabelQemuLdst, so that we can drop the no-op
tcg-be-null.h stubs. Rename tcg-be-ldst.h to tcg-ldst.inc.c.
Backports commit 659ef5cbb893872d25e9d95191cc23b16546c8a1 from qemu
Replace the USE_DIRECT_JUMP ifdef with a TCG_TARGET_HAS_direct_jump
boolean test. Replace the tb_set_jmp_target1 ifdef with an unconditional
function tb_target_set_jmp_target.
While we're touching all backends, add a parameter for tb->tc_ptr;
we're going to need it shortly for some backends.
Move tb_set_jmp_target and tb_add_jump from exec-all.h to cpu-exec.c.
Backports commit a85833933628384d74ec412024d55cf012640287 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.
Backports commit cedbcb01529cb6cf9a2289cdbebbc63f6149fc18 from qemu
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 number of actual invocations of ctpop itself does not warrent
an opcode, but it is very helpful for POWER7 to use in generating
an expansion for ctz.
Backports commit a768e4e99247911f00c5c0267c12d4e207d5f6cc from qemu
Adds tcg_gen_extract_* and tcg_gen_sextract_* for extraction of
fixed position bitfields, much like we already have for deposit.

These use guard symbols like TCG_TARGET_$target.
scripts/clean-header-guards.pl doesn't like them because they don't
match their file name (they should, to make guard collisions less
likely).
Clean them up: use guard symbol $target_TCG_TARGET_H for
tcg/$target/tcg-target.h.
Backports commit 14e54f8ecfe9c5e17348f456781344737ed10b3b from qemu
This will be used to size the TLB when more than 8 MMU modes are
used by the target. Limitations come from the limited size of
the immediate fields (which sometimes, as in the case of Aarch64,
extend to instructions that shift the immediate).
Backports commit 006f8638c62bca2b0caf609485f47fa5e14d8a3c from qemu
Rather than allow arbitrary shift+trunc, only concern ourselves
with low and high parts. This is all that was being used anyway.
Backports commit 609ad70562793937257c89d07bf7c1370b9fc9aa from qemu
The op is sometimes named trunc_shr_i32 and sometimes trunc_shr_i64_i32,
and the name in the README doesn't match the name offered to the
frontends.
Always use the long name to make it clear it is a size changing op.
