5584e2dbe8 tcg: add perfmap and jitdump
Add ability to dump /tmp/perf-<pid>.map and jit-<pid>.dump.
The first one allows the perf tool to map samples to each individual
translation block. The second one adds the ability to resolve symbol
names, line numbers and inspect JITed code.

Example of use:

    perf record qemu-x86_64 -perfmap ./a.out
    perf report

or

    perf record -k 1 qemu-x86_64 -jitdump ./a.out
    DEBUGINFOD_URLS= perf inject -j -i perf.data -o perf.data.jitted
    perf report -i perf.data.jitted

5e97a28a8b tcg: convert tcg/README to rst
Convert tcg/README to rst and move it to docs/devel as a new "TCG Intermediate
Representation" page. There are a few minor changes to improve the aesthetic
of the final output which are as follows:

  - Rename the title from "Tiny Code Generator - Fabrice Bellard" to "TCG
    Intermediate Representation"

  - Remove the section numbering

  - Add the missing parameters to the ssadd_vec operations in the "Host
    vector operations" section

  - Change the path to the Atomic Operations document to use a proper
    reference

  - Replace tcg/README in tcg.rst with a proper reference to the new document

6fe6d6c9a9 docs: Be consistent about capitalization of 'Arm'
The company 'Arm' went through a rebranding some years back
involving a recapitalization from 'ARM' to 'Arm'. As a result
our documentation is a bit inconsistent between the two forms.
It's not worth trying to update everywhere in QEMU, but it's
easy enough to make docs/ consistent.

Note that "ARMv8" and similar architecture names, and
older CPU names like "ARM926" still retain all-caps.

2f2c4e4731 Convert "translator internals" docs to RST, move to devel manual
Our user-facing manual currently has a section "translator internals"
which has some high-level information about the design of the
TCG translator. This should really be in our new devel/ manual.
Convert it to RST format and move it there.
