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.

Trivial move and constant propagation. Some identity and constant
function folding, but nothing that requires knowledge of the size
of the vector element.

Use dup to convert a non-constant scalar to a third vector.
Add addition, multiplication, and logical operations with an immediate.
Add addition, subtraction, multiplication, and logical operations with

which the scalar operand comes first.

No vector ops as yet. SSE only has direct support for 8- and 16-bit
saturation; handling 32- and 64-bit saturation is much more expensive.
Backports commit f49b12c6e6a75a5bd109bcbbda072b24e5fb8dfd from qemu
Opcodes are added for scalar and vector shifts, but considering the
varied semantics of these do not expose them to the front ends. Do
go ahead and provide them in case they are needed for backend expansion.

Some functions use intN_t arguments, some use uintN_t, some just
used "unsigned". To aid putting function pointers in tables, we
need consistency.

The code sequence we were generating was only good for unsigned

Fixes booting of ppc64 firmware, with a patch changing the code
sequence for ppc comparisons.
Backports commit 7170ac33135e6ecf89752d3949bcecf9b9766d1c from qemu
We had two fields specific to INDEX_op_call. Rename these and

Backports commit cd9090aa9dbba30db8aec9a2fc103aaf1ab0f5a7 from qemu
With no fixed array allocation, we can't overflow a buffer.
This will be important as optimizations related to host vectors
may expand the number of ops used.
Use QTAILQ to link the ops together.

Rather than have separate code only used for guest_base,
rely on a recent change to handle constant pool entries.
Backports commit ba2c747992f8c315c2fbddba196ce9137430d61d from qemu
Both ARMv6 and AArch64 currently may drop complex guest_base values
into the constant pool. But generic code wasn't expecting that, and
the pool is not emitted. Correct that.
Backports commit 5b38ee31616d1532c3c3a6dc644a9160d608ed2f from qemu
Using the offset of a temporary, relative to TCGContext, rather than
its index means that we don't use 0. That leaves offset 0 free for
a NULL representation without having to leave index 0 unused.

When we used structures for TCGv_*, we needed a macro in order to

Backports commit 11f4e8f8bfaa2caaab24bef6bbbb8a0205015119 from qemu
The GET and MAKE functions weren't really specific enough.
We now have a full complement of functions that convert exactly
between temporaries, arguments, tcgv pointers, and indices.
The target/sparc change is also a bug fix, which would have affected
a host that defines TCG_TARGET_HAS_extr[lh]_i64_i32, i.e. MIPS64.
Backports commit dc41aa7d34989b552efe712ffe184236216f960b from qemu
Transform TCGv_* to an "argument" or a temporary.
For now, an argument is simply the temporary index.

While we're touching many of the lines anyway, adjust the naming

Rather than have a separate buffer of 10*max_ops entries,

It is unlikely that we will ever want to call this helper passing
an argument other than the current PC. So just remove the argument,
and use the pc we already get from cpu_get_tb_cpu_state.
This change paves the way to having a common "tb_lookup" function.

All uses had REG = 0 and VAL32 was the bitset assigned to the destination.

We are not going to use ldrd for loading the comparator

This eliminates one insn in the tlb load for some guests.
Backports commit 95ede84f4de18747d03d79c148013cff99acd60b from qemu
Use UBFX to avoid limitation on CPU_TLB_BITS. Since we're dropping
the initial shift, we need to replace the page masking. We can use
MOVW+BIC to do this without shifting. The result is the same size
as the armv6 path with one less conditional instruction.

Already it saves 2 bytes per call, but also the constant pool

Backports commit 4e45f23943c0bb91588627de3801826546155ad8 from qemu
A new shared header tcg-pool.inc.c adds new_pool_label,
for registering a tcg_target_ulong to be emitted after
the generated code, plus relocation data to install a
pointer to the data.
A new pointer is added to the TCGContext, so that we
dump the constant pool as data, not code.

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.

boolean test. Replace the tb_set_jmp_target1 ifdef with an unconditional

Backports commit 7af525af01b9615c4f4df5da2e8a50f2fe00b023 from qemu
Currently, we cannot use mttcg for running strong memory model guests
on weak memory model hosts due to missing ordering semantics.
We implicitly generate fence instructions for stronger guests if an
ordering mismatch is detected. We generate fences only for the orders
for which fence instructions are necessary, for example a fence is not
necessary between a store and a subsequent load on x86 since its
absence in the guest binary tells that ordering need not be
ensured. Also note that if we find multiple subsequent fence
instructions in the generated IR, we combine them in the TCG
optimization pass.
This patch allows us to boot an x86 guest on ARM64 hosts using mttcg.
Backports commit b32dc3370a666e237b2099c22166b15e58cb6df8 from qemu
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.

Backports commit cc74d332ff9a78684374847375ef63fc4bd10436 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:
