378df4b237 Handle CPU interrupts by inline checking of a flag
Fix some of the nasty TCG race conditions and crashes by implementing
cpu_exit() as setting a flag which is checked at the start of each TB.
This avoids crashes if a thread or signal handler calls cpu_exit()
while the execution thread is itself modifying the TB graph (which
may happen in system emulation mode as well as in linux-user mode
with a multithreaded guest binary).

This fixes the crashes seen in LP:668799; however there are another
class of crashes described in LP:1098729 which stem from the fact
that in linux-user with a multithreaded guest all threads will
use and modify the same global TCG date structures (including the
generated code buffer) without any kind of locking. This means that
multithreaded guest binaries are still in the "unsupported"
category.

0980011b4f tcg: Document tcg_qemu_tb_exec() and provide constants for low bit uses
Document tcg_qemu_tb_exec(). In particular, its return value is a
combination of a pointer to the next translation block and some
extra information in the low two bits. Provide some #defines for
the values passed in these bits to improve code clarity.

989b697ddd qemu-log: default to stderr for logging output
Switch the default for qemu_log logging output from "/tmp/qemu.log"
to stderr. This is an incompatible change in some sense, but logging
is mostly used for debugging purposes so it shouldn't affect production
use. The previous behaviour can be obtained by adding "-D /tmp/qemu.log"
to the command line.

This change requires us to:
 * update all the documentation/help text (we take the opportunity
   to smooth out minor inconsistencies between the phrasing in
   linux-user/bsd-user/system help messages)
 * make linux-user and bsd-user defer to qemu-log for the default
   logging destination rather than overriding it themselves
 * ensure that all logfile closing is done via qemu_log_close()
   and that that function doesn't close stderr
as well as the obvious change to the behaviour of do_qemu_set_log()
when no logfile name has been specified.

633f650254 optimize: optimize using nonzero bits
This adds two optimizations using the non-zero bit mask.  In some cases
involving shifts or ANDs the value can become zero, and can thus be
optimized to a move of zero.  Second, useless zero-extension or an
AND with constant can be detected that would only zero bits that are
already zero.

The main advantage of this optimization is that it turns zero-extensions
into moves, thus enabling much better copy propagation (around 1% code
reduction).  Here is for example a "test $0xff0000,%ecx + je" before
optimization:

 mov_i64 tmp0,rcx
 movi_i64 tmp1,$0xff0000
 discard cc_src
 and_i64 cc_dst,tmp0,tmp1
 movi_i32 cc_op,$0x1c
 ext32u_i64 tmp0,cc_dst
 movi_i64 tmp12,$0x0
 brcond_i64 tmp0,tmp12,eq,$0x0

and after (without patch on the left, with on the right):

 movi_i64 tmp1,$0xff0000                 movi_i64 tmp1,$0xff0000
 discard cc_src                          discard cc_src
 and_i64 cc_dst,rcx,tmp1                 and_i64 cc_dst,rcx,tmp1
 movi_i32 cc_op,$0x1c                    movi_i32 cc_op,$0x1c
 ext32u_i64 tmp0,cc_dst
 movi_i64 tmp12,$0x0                     movi_i64 tmp12,$0x0
 brcond_i64 tmp0,tmp12,eq,$0x0           brcond_i64 cc_dst,tmp12,eq,$0x0

Other similar cases: "test %eax, %eax + jne" where eax is already 32-bit
(after optimization, without patch on the left, with on the right):

 discard cc_src                          discard cc_src
 mov_i64 cc_dst,rax                      mov_i64 cc_dst,rax
 movi_i32 cc_op,$0x1c                    movi_i32 cc_op,$0x1c
 ext32u_i64 tmp0,cc_dst
 movi_i64 tmp12,$0x0                     movi_i64 tmp12,$0x0
 brcond_i64 tmp0,tmp12,ne,$0x0           brcond_i64 rax,tmp12,ne,$0x0

"test $0x1, %dl + je":

 movi_i64 tmp1,$0x1                      movi_i64 tmp1,$0x1
 discard cc_src                          discard cc_src
 and_i64 cc_dst,rdx,tmp1                 and_i64 cc_dst,rdx,tmp1
 movi_i32 cc_op,$0x1a                    movi_i32 cc_op,$0x1a
 ext8u_i64 tmp0,cc_dst
 movi_i64 tmp12,$0x0                     movi_i64 tmp12,$0x0
 brcond_i64 tmp0,tmp12,eq,$0x0           brcond_i64 cc_dst,tmp12,eq,$0x0

In some cases TCG even outsmarts GCC. :)  Here the input code has
"and $0x2,%eax + movslq %eax,%rbx + test %rbx, %rbx" and the optimizer,
thanks to copy propagation, does the following:

 movi_i64 tmp12,$0x2                     movi_i64 tmp12,$0x2
 and_i64 rax,rax,tmp12                   and_i64 rax,rax,tmp12
 mov_i64 cc_dst,rax                      mov_i64 cc_dst,rax
 ext32s_i64 tmp0,rax                  -> nop
 mov_i64 rbx,tmp0                     -> mov_i64 rbx,cc_dst
 and_i64 cc_dst,rbx,rbx               -> nop

3a9d8b179b optimize: track nonzero bits of registers
Add a "mask" field to the tcg_temp_info struct.  A bit that is zero
in "mask" will always be zero in the corresponding temporary.
Zero bits in the mask can be produced from moves of immediates,
zero-extensions, ANDs with constants, shifts; they can then be
be propagated by logical operations, shifts, sign-extensions,
negations, deposit operations, and conditional moves.  Other
operations will just reset the mask to all-ones, i.e. unknown.

7aab08aa78 tcg/arm: fix cross-endian qemu_st16
The bswap16 TCG opcode assumes that the high bytes of the temp equal
to 0 before calling it. The ARM backend implementation takes this
assumption to slightly optimize the generated code.

The same implementation is called for implementing the cross-endian
qemu_st16 opcode, where this assumption is not true anymore. One way to
fix that would be to zero the high bytes before calling it. Given the
store instruction just ignore them, it is possible to provide a slightly
more optimized version. With ARMv6+ the rev16 instruction does the work
correctly. For lower ARM versions the patch provides a version which
behaves correctly with non-zero high bytes, but fill them with junk.

d17bd1d8cc tcg/arm: fix TLB access in qemu-ld/st ops
The TCG arm backend considers likely that the offset to the TLB
entries does not exceed 12 bits for mem_index = 0. In practice this is
not true for at least the MIPS target.

The current patch fixes that by loading the bits 23-12 with a separate
instruction, and using loads with address writeback, independently of
the value of mem_idx. In total this allow a 24-bit offset, which is a
lot more than needed.

c878da3b27 tcg/ppc32: Use trampolines to trim the code size for mmu slow path accessors
mmu access looks something like:

<check tlb>
if miss goto slow_path
<fast path>
done:
...

; end of the TB
slow_path:
 <pre process>
 mr r3, r27         ; move areg0 to r3
                    ; (r3 holds the first argument for all the PPC32 ABIs)
 <call mmu_helper>
 b $+8
 .long done
 <post process>
 b done

On ppc32 <call mmu_helper> is:

(SysV and Darwin)

mmu_helper is most likely not within direct branching distance from
the call site, necessitating

a. moving 32 bit offset of mmu_helper into a GPR ; 8 bytes
b. moving GPR to CTR/LR                          ; 4 bytes
c. (finally) branching to CTR/LR                 ; 4 bytes

r3 setting              - 4 bytes
call                    - 16 bytes
dummy jump over retaddr - 4 bytes
embedded retaddr        - 4 bytes
         Total overhead - 28 bytes

(PowerOpen (AIX))
a. moving 32 bit offset of mmu_helper's TOC into a GPR1 ; 8 bytes
b. loading 32 bit function pointer into GPR2            ; 4 bytes
c. moving GPR2 to CTR/LR                                ; 4 bytes
d. loading 32 bit small area pointer into R2            ; 4 bytes
e. (finally) branching to CTR/LR                        ; 4 bytes

r3 setting              - 4 bytes
call                    - 24 bytes
dummy jump over retaddr - 4 bytes
embedded retaddr        - 4 bytes
         Total overhead - 36 bytes

Following is done to trim the code size of slow path sections:

In tcg_target_qemu_prologue trampolines are emitted that look like this:

trampoline:
mfspr r3, LR
addi  r3, 4
mtspr LR, r3      ; fixup LR to point over embedded retaddr
mr    r3, r27
<jump mmu_helper> ; tail call of sorts

And slow path becomes:

slow_path:
 <pre process>
 <call trampoline>
 .long done
 <post process>
 b done

call                    - 4 bytes (trampoline is within code gen buffer
                                   and most likely accessible via
                                   direct branch)
embedded retaddr        - 4 bytes
         Total overhead - 8 bytes

In the end the icache pressure is decreased by 20/28 bytes at the cost
of an extra jump to trampoline and adjusting LR (to skip over embedded
retaddr) once inside.
