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.

Add tcg_set_insn_param as a mechanism to modify an insn
parameter after emiting the insn. This is useful for icount
and also for embedding fault information for a specific insn.

My later debugging patches need access to the origin PC which is held in
the TranslationBlock structure. Pass down the whole structure as it also
holds the information about the code start point.

The target-dependant type TCGv must be defined in "tcg/tcg.h" before
including the tracing helper wrappers in "tcg/tcg-op.h".
It also makes more sense to define it here, where other TCG types are
defined too.
Backports commit 5d4e1a1081d3f1ec2908ff0eaebe312389971ab4 from qemu
Adds the 'TCGv_env' type for pointers to 'CPUArchState' objects. The
tracing infrastructure later needs to differentiate between regular
pointers and pointers to vCPUs.
Also changes all targets to use the new 'TCGv_env' type instead of the
generic 'TCGv_ptr'. As of now, the change is merely cosmetic ('TCGv_env'
translates into 'TCGv_ptr'), but that could change in the future to
enforce the difference.
Note that a 'TCGv_env' type (for 'CPUState') is not added, since all
helpers currently receive the architecture-specific
pointer ('CPUArchState').
Backports commit 1bcea73e13b2b059d0cb3301aeaca43e5656ef57 from qemu
Rename the per-architecture tcg-target.c files to tcg-target.inc.c.
This makes it clearer that they are not intended to be standalone
C files, but are instead #included into another source file.
Backports commit ce151109813e2770fd3cee2f37bfa2cdd01a12b9 from qemu
Since we've not got liveness analysis for indirect bases,
placing them at the end of the call-saved registers makes
it more likely that it'll stay live.

That is, global_mem registers whose base is another global_mem
register, rather than a fixed register.
Backports commit b3915dbbdcdb2e04753f3d34a1b0865eea005069 from qemu
All references to cpu_T are done with a constant index. It aids
readability to decompose the array into two scalar variables.
Backports commit 1d1cc4d0f481b2939c7e9f6606e571b2fc81971a from qemu
Having segs[].base as a register significantly improves code
generation for real and protected modes, particularly for TBs
that have multiple memory references where the segment base
can be held in a hard register through the TB.
Backports commit 3558f8055f37a34762b7a2a0f02687e6eeab893d from qemu
We currently pre-compute an worst case code size for any TB, which
works out to be 122kB. Since the average TB size is near 1kB, this
wastes quite a lot of storage.
Instead, check for overflow in between generating code for each opcode.
The overhead of the check isn't measurable and wastage is minimized.

It is no longer used, so tidy up everything reached by it.
This includes the gen_opc_* arrays, the search_pc parameter
and the inline gen_intermediate_code_internal functions.
Backports commit 4e5e1215156662b2b153255c49d4640d82c5568b from qemu
The gen_opc_* arrays are already redundant with the data stored in
the insn_start arguments. Transition restore_state_to_opc to use
data from the latter.
