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.

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.

Having a fixed-size hash table for keeping track of all translation blocks
is suboptimal: some workloads are just too big or too small to get maximum
performance from the hash table. The MRU promotion policy helps improve
performance when the hash table is a little undersized, but it cannot
make up for severely undersized hash tables.
Furthermore, frequent MRU promotions result in writes that are a scalability
bottleneck. For scalability, lookups should only perform reads, not writes.
This is not a big deal for now, but it will become one once MTTCG matures.
The appended fixes these issues by using qht as the implementation of
the TB hash table. This solution is superior to other alternatives considered,
namely:
- master: implementation in QEMU before this patchset
- xxhash: before this patch, i.e. fixed buckets + xxhash hashing + MRU.
- xxhash-rcu: fixed buckets + xxhash + RCU list + MRU.
MRU is implemented here by adding an intermediate struct
that contains the u32 hash and a pointer to the TB; this
allows us, on an MRU promotion, to copy said struct (that is not
at the head), and put this new copy at the head. After a grace
period, the original non-head struct can be eliminated, and
after another grace period, freed.
- qht-fixed-nomru: fixed buckets + xxhash + qht without auto-resize +
no MRU for lookups; MRU for inserts.
The appended solution is the following:
- qht-dyn-nomru: dynamic number of buckets + xxhash + qht w/ auto-resize +
no MRU for lookups; MRU for inserts.
The plots below compare the considered solutions. The Y axis shows the
boot time (in seconds) of a debian jessie image with arm-softmmu; the X axis
sweeps the number of buckets (or initial number of buckets for qht-autoresize).
The plots in PNG format (and with errorbars) can be seen here:

log2 number of buckets
Note that the original point before this patch series is X=15 for "master";
the little sensitivity to the increased number of buckets is due to the
poor hashing function in master.
xxhash-rcu has significant overhead due to the constant churn of allocating
and deallocating intermediate structs for implementing MRU. An alternative
would be do consider failed lookups as "maybe not there", and then
acquire the external lock (tb_lock in this case) to really confirm that
there was indeed a failed lookup. This, however, would not be enough
to implement dynamic resizing--this is more complex: see
"Resizable, Scalable, Concurrent Hash Tables via Relativistic
Programming" by Triplett, McKenney and Walpole. This solution was
discarded due to the very coarse RCU read critical sections that we have
in MTTCG; resizing requires waiting for readers after every pointer update,
and resizes require many pointer updates, so this would quickly become
prohibitive.
qht-fixed-nomru shows that MRU promotion is advisable for undersized
hash tables.
However, qht-dyn-mru shows that MRU promotion is not important if the
hash table is properly sized: there is virtually no difference in
performance between qht-dyn-nomru and qht-dyn-mru.
Before this patch, we're at X=15 on "xxhash"; after this patch, we're at
X=15 @ qht-dyn-nomru. This patch thus matches the best performance that we
can achieve with optimum sizing of the hash table, while keeping the hash
table scalable for readers.
The improvement we get before and after this patch for booting debian jessie
with arm-softmmu is:
- Intel Xeon E5-2690: 10.5% less time
- Intel i7-4790K: 5.2% less time
We could get this same improvement _for this particular workload_ by
statically increasing the size of the hash table. But this would hurt
workloads that do not need a large hash table. The dynamic (upward)
resizing allows us to start small and enlarge the hash table as needed.
A quick note on downsizing: the table is resized back to 2**15 buckets
on every tb_flush; this makes sense because it is not guaranteed that the
table will reach the same number of TBs later on (e.g. most bootup code is
thrown away after boot); it makes sense to grow the hash table as
more code blocks are translated. This also avoids the complication of
having to build downsizing hysteresis logic into qht.

'tb_invalidated_flag' was meant to catch two events:
* some TB has been invalidated by tb_phys_invalidate();
* the whole translation buffer has been flushed by tb_flush().
Then it was checked:
* in cpu_exec() to ensure that the last executed TB can be safely
linked to directly call the next one;
* in cpu_exec_nocache() to decide if the original TB should be provided
for further possible invalidation along with the temporarily
generated TB.
It is always safe to patch an invalidated TB since it is not going to be
used anyway. It is also safe to call tb_phys_invalidate() for an already
invalidated TB. Thus, setting this flag in tb_phys_invalidate() is
simply unnecessary. Moreover, it can prevent from pretty proper linking
of TBs, if any arbitrary TB has been invalidated. So just don't touch it
in tb_phys_invalidate().
If this flag is only used to catch whether tb_flush() has been called
then rename it to 'tb_flushed'. Declare it as 'bool' and stick to using
only 'true' and 'false' to set its value. Also, instead of setting it in
tb_gen_code(), just after tb_flush() has been called, do it right inside
of tb_flush().
In cpu_exec(), this flag is used to track if tb_flush() has been called
and have made 'next_tb' (a reference to the last executed TB) invalid
for linking it to directly call the next TB. tb_flush() can be called
during the CPU execution loop from tb_gen_code(), during TB execution or
by another thread while 'tb_lock' is released. Catch for translation
buffer flush reliably by resetting this flag once before first TB lookup
and each time we find it set before trying to add a direct jump. Don't
touch in in tb_find_physical().
Each vCPU has its own execution loop in multithreaded mode and thus
should have its own copy of the flag to be able to reset it with its own
'next_tb' and don't affect any other vCPU execution thread. So make this
flag per-vCPU and move it to CPUState.
In cpu_exec_nocache(), we only need to check if tb_flush() has been
called from tb_gen_code() called by cpu_exec_nocache() itself. To do
this reliably, preserve the old value of the flag, reset it before
calling tb_gen_code(), check afterwards, and combine the saved value
back to the flag.
This patch is based on the patch "tcg: move tb_invalidated_flag to
CPUState" from Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>.

Gather up all the fields currently in CPUState which deal with the CPU's
AddressSpace into a separate CPUAddressSpace struct. This paves the way
for allowing the CPU to know about more than one AddressSpace.
The rearrangement also allows us to make the MemoryListener a directly
embedded object in the CPUAddressSpace (it could not be embedded in
CPUState because 'struct MemoryListener' isn't defined for the user-only
builds). This allows us to resolve the FIXME in tcg_commit() by going
directly from the MemoryListener to the CPUAddressSpace.
This patch extracts the actual update of the cached dispatch pointer
from cpu_reload_memory_map() (which is renamed accordingly to
cpu_reloading_memory_map() as it is only responsible for breaking
cpu-exec.c's RCU critical section now). This lets us keep the definition

At present, the "average" guestimate of TB size is way too small, leading
to many unused entries in the pre-allocated TB array. For a guest with 1GB
ram, we're currently allocating 256MB for the array.
Survey arm, alpha, aarch64, ppc, sparc, i686, x86_64 guests running on
x86_64 and ppc64 hosts and select a new average. The size of the array
drops to 81MB with no more flushing than before.

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.

Signals are slow and do not exist on Win32. The previous patches
have done most of the legwork to introduce memory barriers (some
of them were even there already for the sake of Windows!) and
we can now set the flags directly in the iothread.
qemu_cpu_kick_thread is not used anymore on TCG, since the TCG thread is
never outside usermode while the CPU is running (not halted). Instead run
the content of the signal handler (now in qemu_cpu_kick_no_halt) directly.
qemu_cpu_kick_no_halt is also used in qemu_mutex_lock_iothread to avoid
the overhead of qemu_cond_broadcast.
