The new placement of the TB means that we can use one insn
to load the goto_tb destination directly from the TB.

In theory this would re-enable usage of QEMU on an armv4 host.
Whether this is worthwhile is debatable -- we've been unconditionally
issuing the armv5t BX instruction in the prologue since 2011 without
complaint. Possibly we should simply require an armv6 host.
Backports commit 702a947484eb3e615183dafc93de590ab0679f60 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
We already require gcc 4.1 or newer (for the atomic
support), so the fallback codepaths for older gcc
versions than that are now dead code and we can
just delete them.
NB: clang reports itself as gcc 4.2 (regardless of
clang version), so clang won't be using the fallbacks
either.
Backports commit fa54abb8c298f892639ffc4bc2f61448ac3be4a1 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
This will let us choose how to interpret a given constraint
depending on whether the opcode is 32- or 64-bit. Which will
let us share more constraint combinations between opcodes.
At the same time, change the interface to return the advanced
pointer instead of passing it in/out by reference.
Backports commit 069ea736b50b75fdec99c9b8cc603b97bd98419e from qemu
This will allow the target to tailor the constraints to the
auto-detected ISA extensions.
Backports commit f69d277ece43c42c7ab0144c2ff05ba740f6706b from qemu
This allows us to use this detection within the TCG_TARGET_HAS_*
macros, instead of requiring a function call into tcg-target.inc.c.
Backports commit 40b2ccb156534f5d5f1d110a6ce008d87ee10af1 from qemu
Adds tcg_gen_extract_* and tcg_gen_sextract_* for extraction of
fixed position bitfields, much like we already have for deposit.
Backports commit 7ec8bab3deae643b1ce579c2d65a244f30708330 from qemu
Previously we allowed fully unaligned operations, but not operations
that are aligned but with less alignment than the operation size.
In addition, arm32, ia64, mips, and sparc had been omitted from the
previous overalignment patch, which would have led to that alignment
being enforced.

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
While we can store constants via constrants on INDEX_op_st_i32 et al,
we weren't able to spill constants to backing store.
Add a new backend interface, tcg_out_sti, which may store the constant
(and is allowed to fail). Rearrange the temp_* helpers so that we only
attempt to directly store a constant when the temp is becoming dead/free.
Backports commit 59d7c14eeff8d2ad7f61aed86ce5a176113bc153 from qemu
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.
Backports commit f309101c26b59641fc1aa8fb2a98a5441cdaea03 from qemu
Ensure direct jump patching in ARM is atomic by using
atomic_read()/atomic_set() for code patching.
Backports commit 7d14e0e2d661479985197203589c38840e1066df from qemu
The TCG code is quite performance sensitive, but at the same time can
also be quite tricky. That is why asserts that can be enabled with the
--enable-debug-tcg configure option.
This used to work the following way:
| #include "config.h"
|
| ...
|
| #if !defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG) && !defined(NDEBUG)
| /* define it to suppress various consistency checks (faster) */
| #define NDEBUG
| #endif
|
| ...
|
| #include <assert.h>
Since commit 757e725b (tcg: Clean up includes) "config.h" as been
replaced by "qemu/osdep.h" which itself includes <assert.h>. As a
consequence the assertions are always enabled, even when using
--disable-debug-tcg, causing a performance regression, especially on
targets with many registers. For instance on qemu-system-ppc the
speed difference is about 15%.
tcg_debug_assert is controlled directly by CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG and already
uses in some places. This patch replaces all the calls to assert into
calss to tcg_debug_assert.
Backports commit eabb7b91b36b202b4dac2df2d59d698e3aff197a from qemu
Commit 757e725b58c57d added a number of #include "qemu/osdep.h"
files to the tcg-target.c files (as they were named at the time).
These are unnecessary because these files are not standalone C
files, and the tcg/tcg.c file which includes them will have
already included osdep.h on their behalf. Remove the unneeded
include directives.
Backports commit c3b7f66800fbf9f47fddbcf2e2cd30ea932e0aae 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
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.
This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes.

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).

The addition of MO_AMASK means that places that used inverted masks
need to be changed to use positive masks, and places that failed to
mask the intended bits need updating.

The extra information is not yet used but it is now available.
This requires minor changes through all of the tcg backends.

At the tcg opcode level, not at the tcg-op.h generator level.
This requires minor changes through all of the tcg backends,
but none of the cpu translators.
