This makes CPUTLBEntry agnostic to the address size of the guest.
When 32-bit addresses are in effect, we can simply read the low
32 bits of the 64-bit field. Similarly when we need to update
the field for setting TLB_NOTDIRTY.
For TCG backends that could in theory be big-endian, but in
practice are not (arm, loongarch, riscv), use QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON
to document and ensure this is not accidentally missed.
For s390x, which is always big-endian, use HOST_BIG_ENDIAN anyway,
to document the reason for the adjustment.
For sparc64 and ppc64, always perform a 64-bit load, and rely on
the following 32-bit comparison to ignore the high bits.

I'm not aware of any immediate bugs in qemu where a second runtime
evaluation of the arguments to MIN() or MAX() causes a problem, but
proactively preventing such abuse is easier than falling prey to an
unintended case down the road. At any rate, here's the conversation
that sparked the current patch:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-12/msg05718.html
Update the MIN/MAX macros to only evaluate their argument once at
runtime; this uses typeof(1 ? (a) : (b)) to ensure that we are
promoting the temporaries to the same type as the final comparison (we
have to trigger type promotion, as typeof(bitfield) won't compile; and
we can't use typeof((a) + (b)) or even typeof((a) + 0), as some of our
uses of MAX are on void* pointers where such addition is undefined).
However, we are unable to work around gcc refusing to compile ({}) in
a constant context (such as the array length of a static variable),
even when only used in the dead branch of a __builtin_choose_expr(),
so we have to provide a second macro pair MIN_CONST and MAX_CONST for
use when both arguments are known to be compile-time constants and
where the result must also be usable as a constant; this second form
evaluates arguments multiple times but that doesn't matter for
constants. By using a void expression as the expansion if a
non-constant is presented to this second form, we can enlist the
compiler to ensure the double evaluation is not attempted on
non-constants.
Alas, as both macros now rely on compiler intrinsics, they are no
longer usable in preprocessor #if conditions; those will just have to
be open-coded or the logic rewritten into #define or runtime 'if'
conditions (but where the compiler dead-code-elimination will probably
still apply).
I tested that both gcc 10.1.1 and clang 10.0.0 produce errors for all
forms of macro mis-use. As the errors can sometimes be cryptic, I'm
demonstrating the gcc output:
Use of MIN when MIN_CONST is needed:

Fix the resulting callsites that used #if or computed a compile-time
constant min or max to use the new macros. cpu-defs.h is interesting,
as CPU_TLB_DYN_MAX_BITS is sometimes used as a constant and sometimes
dynamic.
It may be worth improving glib's MIN/MAX definitions to be saner, but
that is a task for another day.

Currently we rely on atomic operations for cross-CPU invalidations.
There are two cases that these atomics miss: cross-CPU invalidations
can race with either (1) vCPU threads flushing their TLB, which
happens via memset, or (2) vCPUs calling tlb_reset_dirty on their TLB,
which updates .addr_write with a regular store. This results in
undefined behaviour, since we're mixing regular and atomic ops
on concurrent accesses.
Fix it by using tlb_lock, a per-vCPU lock. All updaters of tlb_table
and the corresponding victim cache now hold the lock.
The readers that do not hold tlb_lock must use atomic reads when
reading .addr_write, since this field can be updated by other threads;
the conversion to atomic reads is done in the next patch.
Note that an alternative fix would be to expand the use of atomic ops.
However, in the case of TLB flushes this would have a huge performance
impact, since (1) TLB flushes can happen very frequently and (2) we
currently use a full memory barrier to flush each TLB entry, and a TLB
has many entries. Instead, acquiring the lock is barely slower than a
full memory barrier since it is uncontended, and with a single lock
acquisition we can flush the entire TLB.

Commit f0aff0f124 ("cputlb: add assert_cpu_is_self checks") buried
the increment of tlb_flush_count under TLB_DEBUG. This results in
"info jit" always (mis)reporting 0 TLB flushes when !TLB_DEBUG.
Besides, under MTTCG tlb_flush_count is updated by several threads,
so in order not to lose counts we'd either have to use atomic ops
or distribute the counter, which is more scalable.
This patch does the latter by embedding tlb_flush_count in CPUArchState.
The global count is then easily obtained by iterating over the CPU list.
Note that this change also requires updating the accessors to
tlb_flush_count to use atomic_read/set whenever there may be conflicting
accesses (as defined in C11) to it.

QEMU system mode page table walks are expensive. Taken by running QEMU
qemu-system-x86_64 system mode on Intel PIN , a TLB miss and walking a
4-level page tables in guest Linux OS takes ~450 X86 instructions on
average.
QEMU system mode TLB is implemented using a directly-mapped hashtable.
This structure suffers from conflict misses. Increasing the
associativity of the TLB may not be the solution to conflict misses as
all the ways may have to be walked in serial.
A victim TLB is a TLB used to hold translations evicted from the
primary TLB upon replacement. The victim TLB lies between the main TLB
and its refill path. Victim TLB is of greater associativity (fully
associative in this patch). It takes longer to lookup the victim TLB,
but its likely better than a full page table walk. The memory
translation path is changed as follows :
Before Victim TLB:
1. Inline TLB lookup
2. Exit code cache on TLB miss.
3. Check for unaligned, IO accesses
4. TLB refill.
5. Do the memory access.
6. Return to code cache.
After Victim TLB:
1. Inline TLB lookup
2. Exit code cache on TLB miss.
3. Check for unaligned, IO accesses
4. Victim TLB lookup.
5. If victim TLB misses, TLB refill
6. Do the memory access.
7. Return to code cache
The advantage is that victim TLB can offer more associativity to a
directly mapped TLB and thus potentially fewer page table walks while
still keeping the time taken to flush within reasonable limits.
However, placing a victim TLB before the refill path increase TLB
refill path as the victim TLB is consulted before the TLB refill. The
performance results demonstrate that the pros outweigh the cons.
some performance results taken on SPECINT2006 train
datasets and kernel boot and qemu configure script on an
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz Linux machine are shown in the
Google Doc link below.

In summary, victim TLB improves the performance of qemu-system-x86_64 by
11% on average on SPECINT2006, kernelboot and qemu configscript and with
highest improvement of in 26% in 456.hmmer. And victim TLB does not result
in any performance degradation in any of the measured benchmarks. Furthermore,
the implemented victim TLB is architecture independent and is expected to
benefit other architectures in QEMU as well.
Although there are measurement fluctuations, the performance
improvement is very significant and by no means in the range of
noises.

Most targets were using offsetof(CPUFooState, breakpoints) to determine
how much of CPUFooState to clear on reset. Use the next field after
CPU_COMMON instead, if any, or sizeof(CPUFooState) otherwise.
