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.

The current helper flags, TCG_CALL_CONST and TCG_CALL_PURE might be
confusing and doesn't provide enough granularity for some helpers (FP
helpers for example).
This patch changes them into the following helpers flags:
- TCG_CALL_NO_READ_GLOBALS means that the helper does not read globals,
either directly or via an exception. They will not be saved to their
canonical location before calling the helper.
- TCG_CALL_NO_WRITE_GLOBALS means that the helper does not modify any
globals. They will only be saved to their canonical locations before
calling helpers, but they won't be reloaded afterwise.
- TCG_CALL_NO_SIDE_EFFECTS means that the call to the function is
removed if the return value is not used.
It provides convenience flags, to avoid helper definitions longer than
80 characters. It also provides compatibility flags, and updates the
documentation.

Now that the liveness analysis provides more information, rewrite
tcg_reg_alloc_mov(). This changes the behaviour about propagating
constants and memory accesses. We now take the assumption that once
a value is loaded into a register (from memory or from a constant),
it's better to keep it there than to reload it later. This assumption
is now always almost correct given that we are now sure the
corresponding temp is going to be used later (otherwise it would have
been synchronized and marked as dead already). The assumption is wrong
if one of the op after clobbers some registers including the one
of the holding the temp (this can be avoided by allocating clobbered
registers last, which is what most TCG target do), or in case of lack
of available register.

Rework the liveness analysis by tracking temps that need to go back to
memory in addition to dead temps tracking. This allows to mark output
arguments as "need sync", and to synchronize them back to memory as soon
as they are not written anymore. This way even arguments mapping to
globals can be marked as "dead", avoiding moves to a new register when
input and outputs are aliased.
In addition it means that registers are freed as soon as temps are not
used anymore, instead of waiting for a basic block end or an op with side
effects. This reduces register spilling especially on CPUs with few
registers, and spread the mov over all the TB, increasing the
performances on in-order CPUs.

Synchronize an output argument when requested by the liveness analysis.
This is needed so that the temp can be declared dead later.
For that, add a new op_sync_args table in which each bit tells if the
corresponding output argument needs to be synchronized with the memory.
Pass it to the tcg_reg_alloc_* functions, and honor this bit. We need to
synchronize the argument before marking it as dead, and we have to make
sure all the infos about the temp are correctly filled.
At the same time change some types from unsigned int to uint16_t when
passing op_dead_args.
