these two functions consume too much cpu overhead to
find the RAMBlock by ram address.
After this patch, we can pass the RAMBlock pointer
to them so that they don't need to find the RAMBlock
anymore most of the time. We can get better performance
in address translation processing.
Backports commit 3655cb9c7375a595a8051ec677c515b24d5c1fe6 from qemu
Each RAM memory region has a unique corresponding RAMBlock.
In the current realization, the memory region only stored
the ram_addr which means the offset of RAM address space,
We need to qurey the global ram.list to find the ram block
by ram_addr if we want to get the ram block, which is very
expensive.
Now, we store the RAMBlock pointer into memory region
structure. So, if we know the mr, we can easily get the
RAMBlock.

This will either create a new AS or return a pointer to an
already existing equivalent one, if we have already created
an AS for the specified root memory region.
The motivation is to reuse address spaces as much as possible.
It's going to be quite common that bus masters out in device land
have pointers to the same memory region for their mastering yet
each will need to create its own address space. Let the memory
API implement sharing for them.
Aside from the perf optimisations, this should reduce the amount
of redundant output on info mtree as well.
Thee returned value will be malloced, but the malloc will be
automatically freed when the AS runs out of refs.

memcpy can take a large amount of time for small reads and writes.
Handle the common case of reading s/g descriptors from memory (there
is no corresponding "write" case that is as common, because writes
often use address_space_st* functions) by inlining the relevant
parts of address_space_read into the caller.

We want to inline the case where there is only one iteration, because
then the compiler can also inline the memcpy. As a start, extract
everything after the first address_space_translate call.

For the common case of DMA into non-hotplugged RAM, it is unnecessary
but expensive to do object_ref/unref. Add back an owner field to
MemoryRegion, so that these memory regions can skip the reference
counting.

Order fields so that all fields accessed during a RAM read/write fit in
the same cache line.

This makes ROM blocks resizeable. This infrastructure is required for other

Including qemu-common.h from other header files is generally a bad
idea, because it means it's very easy to end up with a circular
dependency. For instance, if we wanted to include memory.h from
qom/cpu.h we'd end up with this loop:
memory.h -> qemu-common.h -> cpu.h -> cpu-qom.h -> qom/cpu.h -> memory.h
Remove the include from memory.h. This requires us to fix up a few
other files which were inadvertently getting declarations indirectly
through memory.h.
The biggest change is splitting the fprintf_function typedef out
into its own header so other headers can get at it without having
to include qemu-common.h.

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.

The cpu_physical_memory_reset_dirty() function is sometimes used
together with cpu_physical_memory_get_dirty(). This is not atomic since
two separate accesses to the dirty memory bitmap are made.
Turn cpu_physical_memory_reset_dirty() and
cpu_physical_memory_clear_dirty_range_type() into the atomic
cpu_physical_memory_test_and_clear_dirty().

DIRTY_MEMORY_CODE is only needed for TCG. By adding it directly to
mr->dirty_log_mask, we avoid testing for TCG everywhere a region is
checked for the enabled/disabled state of dirty logging.
Backports commit 677e7805cf95f3b2bca8baf0888d1ebed7f0c606 from qemu
When the dirty log mask will also cover other bits than DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA,
some listeners may be interested in the overall zero/non-zero value of
the dirty log mask; others may be interested in the value of single bits.
For this reason, always call log_start/log_stop if bits have respectively
appeared or disappeared, and pass the old and new values of the dirty log
mask so that listeners can distinguish the kinds of change.
For example, KVM checks if dirty logging used to be completely disabled
(in log_start) or is now completely disabled (in log_stop). On the
other hand, Xen has to check manually if DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA changed,
since that is the only bit it cares about.
Backports commit b2dfd71c4843a762f2befe702adb249cf55baf66 from qemu
For now memory regions only track DIRTY_MEMORY_VGA individually, but
this will change soon. To support this, split memory_region_is_logging
in two functions: one that returns a given bit from dirty_log_mask,
and one that returns the entire mask. memory_region_is_logging gets an
extra parameter so that the compiler flags misuse.
While VGA-specific users (including the Xen listener!) will want to keep
checking that bit, KVM and vhost check for "any bit except migration"
(because migration is handled via the global start/stop listener
callbacks).

Add new address_space_ld*/st* functions which allow transaction
attributes and error reporting for basic load and stores. These
are named to be in line with the address_space_read/write/rw
buffer operations.
The existing ld/st*_phys functions are now wrappers around
the new functions.
Backports commit 500131154d677930fce35ec3a6f0b5a26bcd2973 from qemu
Make address_space_rw take transaction attributes, rather
than always using the 'unspecified' attributes.
Backports commit 5c9eb0286c819c1836220a32f2e1a7b5004ac79a from qemu
Rather than retaining io_mem_read/write as simple wrappers around
the memory_region_dispatch_read/write functions, make the latter
public and change all the callers to use them, since we need to
touch all the callsites anyway to add MemTxAttrs and MemTxResult
support. Delete io_mem_read and io_mem_write entirely.
(All the callers currently pass MEMTXATTRS_UNSPECIFIED
and convert the return value back to bool or ignore it.)
Backports commit 3b6434953934e6d4a776ed426d8c6d6badee176f from qemu
Define an API so that devices can register MemoryRegionOps whose read
and write callback functions are passed an arbitrary pointer to some
transaction attributes and can return a success-or-failure status code.
This will allow us to model devices which:
* behave differently for ARM Secure/NonSecure memory accesses
* behave differently for privileged/unprivileged accesses
* may return a transaction failure (causing a guest exception)
for erroneous accesses
This patch defines the new API and plumbs the attributes parameter through
to the memory.c public level functions io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(),
where it is currently dummied out.
The success/failure response indication is also propagated out to
io_mem_read() and io_mem_write(), which retain the old-style
boolean true-for-error return.
