Move the handling of conforming code segments before the handling
of stack switch.
Because dpl == cpl after the new "if", it's now unnecessary to check
the C bit when testing dpl < cpl. Furthermore, dpl > cpl is checked
slightly above the modified code, so the final "else" is unreachable
and we can remove it.
Backports commit 1110bfe6f5600017258fa6578f9c17ec25b32277 from qemu
In do_interrupt64(), when interrupt stack table(ist) is enabled
and the the target code segment is conforming(e2 & DESC_C_MASK), the
old implementation always set new CPL to 0, and SS.RPL to 0.
This is incorrect for when CPL3 code access a CPL0 conforming code
segment, the CPL should remain unchanged. Otherwise higher privileged
code can be compromised.
The patch fix this for always set dpl = cpl when the target code segment
is conforming, and modify the last parameter `flags`, which contains
correct new CPL, in cpu_x86_load_seg_cache().
Backports commit e95e9b88ba5f4a6c17f4d0c3a3a6bf3f648bb328 from qemu
Some code paths can lead to atomic accesses racing with memset()
on cpu->tb_jmp_cache, which can result in torn reads/writes
and is undefined behaviour in C11.
These torn accesses are unlikely to show up as bugs, but from code
inspection they seem possible. For example, tb_phys_invalidate does:
/* remove the TB from the hash list */
h = tb_jmp_cache_hash_func(tb->pc);
CPU_FOREACH(cpu) {
if (atomic_read(&cpu->tb_jmp_cache[h]) == tb) {
atomic_set(&cpu->tb_jmp_cache[h], NULL);
}
}
Here atomic_set might race with a concurrent memset (such as the
ones scheduled via "unsafe" async work, e.g. tlb_flush_page) and
therefore we might end up with a torn pointer (or who knows what,
because we are under undefined behaviour).
This patch converts parallel accesses to cpu->tb_jmp_cache to use
atomic primitives, thereby bringing these accesses back to defined
behaviour. The price to pay is to potentially execute more instructions
when clearing cpu->tb_jmp_cache, but given how infrequently they happen
and the small size of the cache, the performance impact I have measured
is within noise range when booting debian-arm.
Note that under "safe async" work (e.g. do_tb_flush) we could use memset
because no other vcpus are running. However I'm keeping these accesses
atomic as well to keep things simple and to avoid confusing analysis
tools such as ThreadSanitizer.
Backports commit f3ced3c59287dabc253f83f0c70aa4934470c15e from qemu
We are relying on cpu_env being defined as a global, yet most
targets (i.e. all but arm/a64) have it defined as a local variable.
Luckily all of them use the same "cpu_env" name, but really
compilation shouldn't break if the name of that local variable
changed.
Fix it by using tcg_ctx.tcg_env, which all targets set in their
translate_init function. This change also helps paving the way
for the upcoming "translation loop common to all targets" work.

Backports commit f83311e4764f1f25a8abdec2b32c64483be1759b from qemu
Switch to use QNum/uint where appropriate to remove i64 limitation.
The input visitor will cast i64 input to u64 for compatibility
reasons (existing json QMP client already use negative i64 for large
u64, and expect an implicit cast in qemu).
Note: before the patch, uint64_t values above INT64_MAX are sent over
json QMP as negative values, e.g. UINT64_MAX is sent as -1. After the
patch, they are sent unmodified. Clearly a bug fix, but we have to
consider compatibility issues anyway. libvirt should cope fine,
because its parsing of unsigned integers accepts negative values
modulo 2^64. There's hope that other clients will, too.

Before the previous commit, parameter promote_int = true made
visit_start_alternate() with an input visitor avoid QTYPE_QINT
variants and create QTYPE_QFLOAT variants instead. This was used
where QTYPE_QINT variants were invalid.
The previous commit fused QTYPE_QINT with QTYPE_QFLOAT, rendering
promote_int useless and unused.

Visiting a list when input is the empty string should result in an

case for empty string.

We can call tb_htable_lookup even when the tb_jmp_cache is completely
empty. Therefore, un-nest most of the code dependent on tb != NULL
from the read from the cache.
This improves the hit rate of lookup_tb_ptr; for instance, when booting
and immediately shutting down debian-arm, the hit rate improves from
93.2% to 99.4%.

Backports commit 2b48e10f888059a98043b4816769fa2a326a1d2c 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:

V flag for subtraction is:
v = (res ^ src1) & (src1 ^ src2)
(see COMPUTE_CCR() in target/m68k/helper.c)
But gen_flush_flags() uses:
v = (res ^ src2) & (src1 ^ src2)
The problem has been found with the following program:
.global _start
_start:
move.l #-2147483648,%d0
subq.l #1,%d0
jvc 1f
move.l #1,%d1
move.l #1,%d0
trap #0
1:
move.l #0,%d1
move.l #1,%d0
trap #0
It works fine (exit(1)) on real hardware, and with "-singlestep".
"-singlestep" uses gen_helper_flush_flags(), whereas
without "-singlestep", V flag is computed directly in
gen_flush_flags().
This patch updates gen_flush_flags() to have the same result
as with gen_helper_flush_flags().
