The new placement of the TB means that we can use one insn
to load the return value for exit_tb returning the TB pointer.

We are partially initializing tb in tb_alloc. Instead, fully
initialize it in tb_gen_code, which is tb_alloc's only caller.
This saves an unnecessary write to tb->cflags.
Backports commit 2b48e10f888059a98043b4816769fa2a326a1d2c from qemu
Allocating an arbitrarily-sized array of tbs results in either
(a) a lot of memory wasted or (b) unnecessary flushes of the code
cache when we run out of TB structs in the array.
An obvious solution would be to just malloc a TB struct when needed,
and keep the TB array as an array of pointers (recall that tb_find_pc()
needs the TB array to run in O(log n)).
Perhaps a better solution, which is implemented in this patch, is to
allocate TB's right before the translated code they describe. This
results in some memory waste due to padding to have code and TBs in
separate cache lines--for instance, I measured 4.7% of padding in the
used portion of code_gen_buffer when booting aarch64 Linux on a
host with 64-byte cache lines. However, it can allow for optimizations
in some host architectures, since TCG backends could safely assume that
the TB and the corresponding translated code are very close to each
other in memory. See this message by rth for a detailed explanation:

Backports commit 6e3b2bfd6af488a896f7936e99ef160f8f37e6f2 from qemu
Add helpers to gather cache info from the host at init-time.
For now, only export the host's I/D cache line sizes, which we
will use to improve cache locality to avoid false sharing.

V flag for subtraction is:
v = (res ^ src1) & (src1 ^ src2)
(see COMPUTE_CCR() in target/m68k/helper.c)
But gen_flush_flags() uses:
v = (res ^ src2) & (src1 ^ src2)
The problem has been found with the following program:
.global _start
_start:
move.l #-2147483648,%d0
subq.l #1,%d0
jvc 1f
move.l #1,%d1
move.l #1,%d0
trap #0
1:
move.l #0,%d1
move.l #1,%d0
trap #0
It works fine (exit(1)) on real hardware, and with "-singlestep".
"-singlestep" uses gen_helper_flush_flags(), whereas
without "-singlestep", V flag is computed directly in
gen_flush_flags().
This patch updates gen_flush_flags() to have the same result
as with gen_helper_flush_flags().

Running Windows with icount causes a crash in instruction of write cr.
This patch fixes it.
Reading and writing cr cause an icount read because there are called
cpu_get_apic_tpr and cpu_set_apic_tpr functions. So, there is need
gen_io_start()/gen_io_end() calls.

This speeds up SMM switches. Later on it may remove the need to take
the BQL, and it may also allow to reuse code between TCG and KVM.

It really only plays with the dispatchers, so the parameter list does
not need that complexity. This helps for readability at least.

In theory this would re-enable usage of QEMU on an armv4 host.
Whether this is worthwhile is debatable -- we've been unconditionally
issuing the armv5t BX instruction in the prologue since 2011 without
complaint. Possibly we should simply require an armv6 host.

Backports commit 7ad55b4ffd982c80f26f7f3658138d94cdc678e8 from qemu
Instead of exporting goto_ptr directly to TCG frontends, export
tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptr(), which calls goto_ptr with the pointer
returned by the lookup_tb_ptr() helper. This is the only use case
we have for goto_ptr and lookup_tb_ptr, so having this function is
very convenient. Furthermore, it trivially allows us to avoid calling
the lookup helper if goto_ptr is not implemented by the backend.

M profile doesn't implement ARM, and the architecturally required
behaviour for attempts to execute with the Thumb bit clear is to
generate a UsageFault with the CFSR INVSTATE bit set. We were
incorrectly implementing this as generating an UNDEFINSTR UsageFault;
fix this.

Implement the exception return consistency checks
described in the v7M pseudocode ExceptionReturn().
Inspired by a patch from Michael Davidsaver's series, but
this is a reimplementation from scratch based on the
ARM ARM pseudocode.
Backports commit aa488fe3bb5460c6675800ccd80f6dccbbd70159 from qemu
Extract the code from the tail end of arm_v7m_do_interrupt() which
enters the exception handler into a pair of utility functions
v7m_exception_taken() and v7m_push_stack(), which correspond roughly
to the pseudocode PushStack() and ExceptionTaken().
This also requires us to move the arm_v7m_load_vector() utility
routine up so we can call it.
Handling illegal exception returns has some cases where we want to
take a UsageFault either on an existing stack frame or with a new
stack frame but with a specific LR value, so we want to be able to
call these without having to go via arm_v7m_cpu_do_interrupt().
Backports commit 39ae2474e337247e5930e8be783b689adc9f6215 from qemu
All the places in armv7m_cpu_do_interrupt() which pend an
exception in the NVIC are doing so for synchronous
exceptions. We know that we will always take some
exception in this case, so we can just acknowledge it
immediately, rather than returning and then immediately
being called again because the NVIC has raised its outbound
IRQ line.
Backports commit a25dc805e2e63a55029e787a52335e12dabf07dc from qemu
The M profile condition for when we can take a pending exception or
interrupt is not the same as that for A/R profile. The code
originally copied from the A/R profile version of the
cpu_exec_interrupt function only worked by chance for the
very simple case of exceptions being masked by PRIMASK.
Replace it with a call to a function in the NVIC code that
correctly compares the priority of the pending exception
against the current execution priority of the CPU.

Having armv7m_nvic_acknowledge_irq() return the new value of
env->v7m.exception and its one caller assign the return value
back to env->v7m.exception is pointless. Just make the return
type void instead.
Backports commit a5d8235545e98c1ce02560d5f4f57552d937efe9 from qemu
Implement HFNMIENA support for the M profile MPU. This bit controls
whether the MPU is treated as enabled when executing at execution
priorities of less than zero (in NMI, HardFault or with the FAULTMASK
bit set).
Doing this requires us to use a different MMU index for "running
at execution priority < 0", because we will have different
access permissions for that case versus the normal case.
Backports commit 3bef7012560a7f0ea27b265105de5090ba117514 from qemu
The M series MPU is almost the same as the already implemented R
profile MPU (v7 PMSA). So all we need to implement here is the MPU
register interface in the system register space.
This implementation has the same restriction as the R profile MPU
that it doesn't permit regions to be sized down smaller than 1K.
We also do not yet implement support for MPU_CTRL.HFNMIENA; this
bit should if zero disable use of the MPU when running HardFault,
NMI or with FAULTMASK set to 1 (ie at an execution priority of
less than zero) -- if the MPU is enabled we don't treat these
cases any differently.
Backports commit 29c483a506070e8f554c77d22686f405e30b9114 from qemu
General logic is that operations stopped by the MPU are MemManage,
and those which go through the MPU and are caught by the unassigned
handle are BusFault. Distinguish these by looking at the
exception.fsr values, and set the CFSR bits and (if appropriate)
fill in the BFAR or MMFAR with the exception address.

All M profile CPUs are PMSA, so set the feature bit.
(We haven't actually implemented the M profile MPU register
interface yet, but setting this feature bit gives us closer
to correct behaviour for the MPU-disabled case.)
Backports commit 790a11503cfb5e1dcd031ea2212bbebae4ca3cec from qemu
Add support for the M profile default memory map which is used
if the MPU is not present or disabled.
The main differences in behaviour from implementing this
correctly are that we set the PAGE_EXEC attribute on
the right regions of memory, such that device regions
are not executable.

Improve the "-d mmu" tracing for the PMSAv7 MPU translation
process as an aid in debugging guest MPU configurations:
* fix a missing newline for a guest-error log
* report the region number with guest-error or unimp
logs of bad region register values
* add a log message for the overall result of the lookup
* print "0x" prefix for hex values

Now that we enforce both:
* pmsav7_dregion == 0 implies has_mpu == false
* PMSA with has_mpu == false means SCTLR.M cannot be set
we can remove a check on pmsav7_dregion from get_phys_addr_pmsav7(),
because we can only reach this code path if the MPU is enabled
(and so region_translation_disabled() returned false).

If the CPU is a PMSA config with no MPU implemented, then the
SCTLR.M bit should be RAZ/WI, so that the guest can never
turn on the non-existent MPU.
Backports commit 06312febfb2d35367006ef23608ddd6a131214d4 from qemu
Fix the handling of QOM properties for PMSA CPUs with no MPU:
Allow no-MPU to be specified by either:
* has-mpu = false
* pmsav7_dregion = 0
and make setting one imply the other. Don't clear the PMSA
feature bit in this situation.

ARM CPUs come in two flavours:
* proper MMU ("VMSA")
* only an MPU ("PMSA")
For PMSA, the MPU may be implemented, or not (in which case there
is default "always acts the same" behaviour, but it isn't guest
programmable).
QEMU is a bit confused about how we indicate this: we have an
ARM_FEATURE_MPU, but it's not clear whether this indicates
"PMSA, not VMSA" or "PMSA and MPU present" , and sometimes we
use it for one purpose and sometimes the other.
Currently trying to implement a PMSA-without-MPU core won't
work correctly because we turn off the ARM_FEATURE_MPU bit
and then a lot of things which should still exist get
turned off too.
As the first step in cleaning this up, rename the feature
bit to ARM_FEATURE_PMSA, which indicates a PMSA CPU (with
or without MPU).
