Especially when dealing with out-of-line gvec helpers, it is often
helpful to specify some vector pointers as constant. E.g. when
we have two inputs and one output, marking the two inputs as consts
pointers helps to avoid bugs.
Const pointers can be specified via "cptr", however behave in TCG just
like ordinary pointers. We can specify helpers like:
DEF_HELPER_FLAGS_4(gvec_vbperm, TCG_CALL_NO_RWG, void, ptr, cptr, cptr, i32)
void HELPER(gvec_vbperm)(void *v1, const void *v2, const void *v3,
uint32_t desc)
And make sure that here, only v1 will be written (as long as const is
not casted away, of course).

Add support for MMU protection regions that are smaller than
TARGET_PAGE_SIZE. We do this by marking the TLB entry for those
pages with a flag TLB_RECHECK. This flag causes us to always
take the slow-path for accesses. In the slow path we can then
special case them to always call tlb_fill() again, so we have
the correct information for the exact address being accessed.
This change allows us to handle reading and writing from small
regions; we cannot deal with execution from the small region.

The condition to check whether an address has hit against a particular
TLB entry is not completely trivial. We do this in various places, and
in fact in one place (get_page_addr_code()) we have got the condition
wrong. Abstract it out into new tlb_hit() and tlb_hit_page() inline
functions (one for a known-page-aligned address and one for an
arbitrary address), and use them in all the places where we had the
condition correct.
This is a no-behaviour-change patch; we leave fixing the buggy
code in get_page_addr_code() to a subsequent patch
Backports commit 334692bce7f0653a93b8d84ecde8c847b08dec38 from qemu
There's a common pattern in QEMU where a function needs to perform
a data load or store of an N byte integer in a particular endianness.
At the moment this is handled by doing a switch() on the size and
calling the appropriate ld*_p or st*_p function for each size.
Provide a new family of functions ldn_*_p() and stn_*_p() which
take the size as an argument and do the switch() themselves.

Backports commit 07ea28b41830f946de3841b0ac61a3413679feb9 from qemu
Depending on the host abi, float16, aka uint16_t, values are
passed and returned either zero-extended in the host register
or with garbage at the top of the host register.
The tcg code generator has so far been assuming garbage, as that
matches the x86 abi, but this is incorrect for other host abis.
Further, target/arm has so far been assuming zero-extended results,
so that it may store the 16-bit value into a 32-bit slot with the
high 16-bits already clear.
Rectify both problems by mapping "f16" in the helper definition
to uint32_t instead of (a typedef for) uint16_t. This forces
the host compiler to assume garbage in the upper 16 bits on input
and to zero-extend the result on output.

Backports commit b542683d77b4f56cef0221b267c341616d87bce9 from qemu
In icount mode, instructions that access io memory spaces in the middle
of the translation block invoke TB recompilation. After recompilation,
such instructions become last in the TB and are allowed to access io
memory spaces.
When the code includes instruction like i386 'xchg eax, 0xffffd080'
which accesses APIC, QEMU goes into an infinite loop of the recompilation.
This instruction includes two memory accesses - one read and one write.
After the first access, APIC calls cpu_report_tpr_access, which restores
the CPU state to get the current eip. But cpu_restore_state_from_tb
resets the cpu->can_do_io flag which makes the second memory access invalid.
Therefore the second memory access causes a recompilation of the block.
Then these operations repeat again and again.
This patch moves resetting cpu->can_do_io flag from
cpu_restore_state_from_tb to cpu_loop_exit* functions.
It also adds a parameter for cpu_restore_state which controls restoring
icount. There is no need to restore icount when we only query CPU state
without breaking the TB. Restoring it in such cases leads to the
incorrect flow of the virtual time.
In most cases new parameter is true (icount should be recalculated).
But there are two cases in i386 and openrisc when the CPU state is only
queried without the need to break the TB. This patch fixes both of
these cases.

We are still seeing signals during translation time when we walk over
a page protection boundary. This expands the check to ensure the host
PC is inside the code generation buffer. The original suggestion was
to check versus tcg_ctx.code_gen_ptr but as we now segment the
translation buffer we have to settle for just a general check for
being inside.
I've also fixed up the declaration to make it clear it can deal with
invalid addresses. A later patch will fix up the call sites.

This shares an cached empty FlatView among address spaces. The empty
FV is used every time when a root MR renders into a FV without memory
sections which happens when MR or its children are not enabled or
zero-sized. The empty_view is not NULL to keep the rest of memory
API intact; it also has a dispatch tree for the same reason.
On POWER8 with 255 CPUs, 255 virtio-net, 40 PCI bridges guest this halves
the amount of FlatView's in use (557 -> 260) and dispatch tables
(~800000 -> ~370000). In an unrelated experiment with 112 non-virtio
devices on x86 ("-M pc"), only 4 FlatViews are alive, and about ~2000
are created at startup.

As we are going to share FlatView's between AddressSpace's,
and AddressSpaceDispatch is a structure to perform quick lookup
in FlatView, this moves ASD to FlatView.
After previosly open coded ASD rendering, we can also remove
as->next_dispatch as the new FlatView pointer is stored
on a stack and set to an AS atomically.
flatview_destroy() is executed under RCU instead of
address_space_dispatch_free() now.
This makes mem_begin/mem_commit to work with ASD and mem_add with FV
as later on mem_add will be taking FV as an argument anyway.
This should cause no behavioural change.

do_unassigned_access() already includes a size parameter.
This patch also updates handle_mmu_fault handlers and

Backports commit 53f6672bcf57d82b794a2cc3a3469be7d35c8653 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:

At the moment ram device's memory regions are DEVICE_NATIVE_ENDIAN. It's
incorrect. This memory region is backed by a MMIO area in host, so the
uint64_t data that MemoryRegionOps read from/write to this area should be
host-endian rather than target-endian. Hence, current code does not work
when target and host endianness are different which is the most common case
on PPC64. To fix it, this introduces DEVICE_HOST_ENDIAN for the ram device.
This has been tested on PPC64 BE/LE host/guest in all possible combinations
including TCG.

While the vargs approach was flexible the original MTTCG ended up
having munge the bits to a bitmap so the data could be used in

For ARM some the resulting flushes end up being quite long so to aid
readability I've tended to move the index shifting to a new line so
all the bits being or-ed together line up nicely, for example:

In the user emulation code path, tlb_vaddr_to_host erronesously passed
vaddr as the guest address to be translated, instead of addr, the parameter
which actually contained the guest address.
This resulted in incorrect addresses being used when emulating block copy
(mvc/mvpg) and block clear (xc) instructions for the s390x target.

softmmu requires more functions to be thread-safe, because translation
blocks can be invalidated from e.g. notdirty callbacks. Probably the
same holds for user-mode emulation, it's just that no one has ever
tried to produce a coherent locking there.
This patch will guide the introduction of more tb_lock and tb_unlock
calls for system emulation.
Note that after this patch some (most) of the mentioned functions are
still called outside tb_lock/tb_unlock. The next one will rectify this.

This adds asserts to check the locking on the various translation
engines structures. There are two sets of structures that are protected
by locks.
The first the l1map and PageDesc structures used to track which
translation blocks are associated with which physical addresses. In
user-mode this is covered by the mmap_lock.
The second case are TB context related structures which are protected by
tb_lock which is also user-mode only.
Currently the asserts do nothing in SoftMMU mode but this will change
for MTTCG.

Probe for whether the specified guest write access is permitted.
If it is not permitted then an exception will be taken in the same
way as if this were a real write access (and we will not return).
Otherwise the function will return, and there will be a valid
entry in the TLB for this access.

Support target CPUs having a page size which isn't knownn
at compile time. To use this, the CPU implementation should:
* define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_VARY
* not define TARGET_PAGE_BITS
* define TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN to the smallest value it
might possibly want for TARGET_PAGE_BITS
* call set_preferred_target_page_bits() in its realize
function to indicate the actual preferred target page
size for the CPU (and report any error from it)
In CONFIG_USER_ONLY, the CPU implementation should continue
to define TARGET_PAGE_BITS appropriately for the guest
OS page size.
Machines which want to take advantage of having the page
size something larger than TARGET_PAGE_BITS_MIN must
set the MachineClass minimum_page_bits field to a value
which they guarantee will be no greater than the preferred
page size for any CPU they create.
Note that changing the target page size by setting
minimum_page_bits is a migration compatibility break
for that machine.
For debugging purposes, attempts to use TARGET_PAGE_SIZE
before it has been finally confirmed will assert.
Backports commit 20bccb82ff3ea09bcb7c4ee226d3160cab15f7da from qemu
This speeds up MEMORY_LISTENER_CALL noticeably. Right now,
with many PCI devices you have N regions added to M AddressSpaces
(M = # PCI devices with bus-master enabled) and each call looks
up the whole listener list, with at least M listeners in it.
Because most of the regions in N are BARs, which are also roughly
proportional to M, the whole thing is O(M^3). This changes it
to O(M^2), which is the best we can do without rewriting the
whole thing.

The return address argument to the softmmu template helpers was
confused. In the legacy case, we wanted to indicate that there
is no return address, and so passed in NULL. However, we then
immediately subtracted GETPC_ADJ from NULL, resulting in a non-zero
value, indicating the presence of an (invalid) return address.
Push the GETPC_ADJ subtraction down to the only point it's required:
immediately before use within cpu_restore_state_from_tb, after all
NULL pointer checks have been completed.
This makes GETPC and GETRA identical. Remove GETRA as the lesser
used macro, replacing all uses with GETPC.

When invalidating a translation block, set an invalid flag into the
TranslationBlock structure first. It is also necessary to check whether
the target TB is still valid after acquiring 'tb_lock' but before calling
tb_add_jump() since TB lookup is to be performed out of 'tb_lock' in
future. Note that we don't have to check 'last_tb'; an already invalidated
TB will not be executed anyway and it is thus safe to patch it.
Backports commit 6d21e4208f382dd8ca1f7995a6dd9ea7ca281163 from qemu
With a vfio assigned device we lay down a base MemoryRegion registered
as an IO region, giving us read & write accessors. If the region
supports mmap, we lay down a higher priority sub-region MemoryRegion
on top of the base layer initialized as a RAM device pointer to the
mmap. Finally, if we have any quirks for the device (ie. address
ranges that need additional virtualization support), we put another IO
sub-region on top of the mmap MemoryRegion. When this is flattened,
we now potentially have sub-page mmap MemoryRegions exposed which
cannot be directly mapped through KVM.
This is as expected, but a subtle detail of this is that we end up
with two different access mechanisms through QEMU. If we disable the
mmap MemoryRegion, we make use of the IO MemoryRegion and service
accesses using pread and pwrite to the vfio device file descriptor.
If the mmap MemoryRegion is enabled and results in one of these
sub-page gaps, QEMU handles the access as RAM, using memcpy to the
mmap. Using either pread/pwrite or the mmap directly should be
correct, but using memcpy causes us problems. I expect that not only
does memcpy not necessarily honor the original width and alignment in
performing a copy, but it potentially also uses processor instructions
not intended for MMIO spaces. It turns out that this has been a
problem for Realtek NIC assignment, which has such a quirk that
creates a sub-page mmap MemoryRegion access.
To resolve this, we disable memory_access_is_direct() for ram_device
regions since QEMU assumes that it can use memcpy for those regions.
Instead we access through MemoryRegionOps, which replaces the memcpy
with simple de-references of standard sizes to the host memory.
With this patch we attempt to provide unrestricted access to the RAM
device, allowing byte through qword access as well as unaligned
access. The assumption here is that accesses initiated by the VM are
driven by a device specific driver, which knows the device
capabilities. If unaligned accesses are not supported by the device,
we don't want them to work in a VM by performing multiple aligned
accesses to compose the unaligned access. A down-side of this
philosophy is that the xp command from the monitor attempts to use
the largest available access weidth, unaware of the underlying
device. Using memcpy had this same restriction, but at least now an
operator can dump individual registers, even if blocks of device
memory may result in access widths beyond the capabilities of a
given device (RTL NICs only support up to dword).
Backports commit 1b16ded6a512809f99c133a97f19026fe612b2de from qemu
Setting skip_dump on a MemoryRegion allows us to modify one specific
code path, but the restriction we're trying to address encompasses
more than that. If we have a RAM MemoryRegion backed by a physical
device, it not only restricts our ability to dump that region, but
also affects how we should manipulate it. Here we recognize that
MemoryRegions do not change to sometimes allow dumps and other times
not, so we replace setting the skip_dump flag with a new initializer
so that we know exactly the type of region to which we're applying
this behavior.
