This enables the multi-threaded system emulation by default for ARMv7
and ARMv8 guests using the x86_64 TCG backend. This is because on the
guest side:
- The ARM translate.c/translate-64.c have been converted to
- use MTTCG safe atomic primitives
- emit the appropriate barrier ops
- The ARM machine has been updated to
- hold the BQL when modifying shared cross-vCPU state
- defer powerctl changes to async safe work
All the host backends support the barrier and atomic primitives but
need to provide same-or-better support for normal load/store
operations.
Backports commit ca759f9e387db87e1719911f019bc60c74be9ed8 from qemu
In order to support Linux perf, which uses PMXEVTYPER register,
this patch adds read/write access support for PMXEVTYPER. The access
is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE when PMSELR is not 0x1f. Additionally
this patch adds support for PMXEVTYPER_EL0.
Backports commit fdb8665672ded05f650d18f8b62d5c8524b4385b from qemu
This patch adds support for AArch64 register PMSELR_EL0. The existing
PMSELR definition is revised accordingly.
Backports commit 6b0407805d46bbeba70f4be426285d0a0e669750 from qemu
Add a new "cfgend" property which selects whether the CPU resets into
big-endian mode or not. This setting affects whether we reset with
SCTLR_B (ARMv6 and earlier) or SCTLR_EE (ARMv7 and later) set.
Backports commit 3a062d5730266b2386eeda68b1a1c6e96451db31 from qemu
We only use the IS_M() macro in two places, and it's a bit of a
namespace grab to put in cpu.h. Drop it in favour of just explicitly
calling arm_feature() in the places where it was used.
Backports commit 531c60a97ab51618b4b9ccef1c5fe00607079706 from qemu
Enable the ARM_FEATURE_EL2 bit on Cortex-A52 and
Cortex-A57, since this is all now sufficiently implemented
to work with the GICv3. We provide the usual CPU property
to disable it for backwards compatibility with the older
virt boards.
In this commit, we disable the EL2 feature on the
virt and ZynpMP boards, so there is no overall effect.
Another commit will expose a board-level property to
allow the user to enable EL2.
Backports commit c25bd18a04c8bd0f19556d719864b7b08528222d from qemu
We've currently got 18 architectures in QEMU, and thus 18 target-xxx
folders in the root folder of the QEMU source tree. More architectures
(e.g. RISC-V, AVR) are likely to be included soon, too, so the main
folder of the QEMU sources slowly gets quite overcrowded with the
target-xxx folders.
To disburden the main folder a little bit, let's move the target-xxx
folders into a dedicated target/ folder, so that target-xxx/ simply
becomes target/xxx/ instead.
