The x86 vector instruction set is extremely irregular. With newer
editions, Intel has filled in some of the blanks. However, we don't
get many 64-bit operations until SSE4.2, introduced in 2009.
The subsequent edition was for AVX1, introduced in 2011, which added
three-operand addressing, and adjusts how all instructions should be
encoded.
Given the relatively narrow 2 year window between possible to support
and desirable to support, and to vastly simplify code maintainence,
I am only planning to support AVX1 and later cpus.

All uses had REG = 0 and VAL32 was the bitset assigned to the destination.

Already it saves 2 bytes per call, but also the constant pool

Dispense with TCGBackendData, as it has never been used for more than
holding a single pointer. Use a define in the cpu/tcg-target.h to
signal requirement for TCGLabelQemuLdst, so that we can drop the no-op
tcg-be-null.h stubs. Rename tcg-be-ldst.h to tcg-ldst.inc.c.

Replace the USE_DIRECT_JUMP ifdef with a TCG_TARGET_HAS_direct_jump
boolean test. Replace the tb_set_jmp_target1 ifdef with an unconditional
function tb_target_set_jmp_target.
While we're touching all backends, add a parameter for tb->tc_ptr;
we're going to need it shortly for some backends.
Move tb_set_jmp_target and tb_add_jump from exec-all.h to cpu-exec.c.

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.
Backports commit cedbcb01529cb6cf9a2289cdbebbc63f6149fc18 from qemu
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.

The number of actual invocations of ctpop itself does not warrent

Previously we could not have different constraints for different ISA levels,
which prevented us from eliding the matching constraint for shifts.
We do now have to make sure that the operands match for constant shifts.
We can also handle some small left shifts via lea.

Use a switch instead of searching a table. Share constraints between

Backports commit cd26449a505f808e479af4fdd539e05767e09c06 from qemu
This will let us choose how to interpret a given constraint
depending on whether the opcode is 32- or 64-bit. Which will
let us share more constraint combinations between opcodes.
At the same time, change the interface to return the advanced
pointer instead of passing it in/out by reference.

Previously we allowed fully unaligned operations, but not operations
that are aligned but with less alignment than the operation size.
In addition, arm32, ia64, mips, and sparc had been omitted from the
previous overalignment patch, which would have led to that alignment
being enforced.

These use guard symbols like TCG_TARGET_$target.
scripts/clean-header-guards.pl doesn't like them because they don't
match their file name (they should, to make guard collisions less
likely).
Clean them up: use guard symbol $target_TCG_TARGET_H for
tcg/$target/tcg-target.h.
Backports commit 14e54f8ecfe9c5e17348f456781344737ed10b3b from qemu
Some architectures (e.g. ARMv8) need the address which is aligned
to a size more than the size of the memory access.
To support such check it's enough the current costless alignment
check implementation in QEMU, but we need to support
an alignment size specifying.

While we can store constants via constrants on INDEX_op_st_i32 et al,
we weren't able to spill constants to backing store.
Add a new backend interface, tcg_out_sti, which may store the constant
(and is allowed to fail). Rearrange the temp_* helpers so that we only
attempt to directly store a constant when the temp is becoming dead/free.
Backports commit 59d7c14eeff8d2ad7f61aed86ce5a176113bc153 from qemu
Briefly describe in a comment how direct block chaining is done. It
should help in understanding of the following data fields.
Rename some fields in TranslationBlock and TCGContext structures to
better reflect their purpose (dropping excessive 'tb_' prefix in
TranslationBlock but keeping it in TCGContext):
tb_next_offset => jmp_reset_offset
tb_jmp_offset => jmp_insn_offset
tb_next => jmp_target_addr
jmp_next => jmp_list_next
jmp_first => jmp_list_first
Avoid using a magic constant as an invalid offset which is used to
indicate that there's no n-th jump generated.

Ensure direct jump patching in i386 is atomic by:
* naturally aligning a location of direct jump address;
* using atomic_read()/atomic_set() for code patching.

The TCG code is quite performance sensitive, but at the same time can
also be quite tricky. That is why asserts that can be enabled with the
--enable-debug-tcg configure option.
This used to work the following way:
| #include "config.h"
|
| ...
|
| #if !defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG) && !defined(NDEBUG)
| /* define it to suppress various consistency checks (faster) */
| #define NDEBUG
| #endif
|
| ...
|
| #include <assert.h>
Since commit 757e725b (tcg: Clean up includes) "config.h" as been
replaced by "qemu/osdep.h" which itself includes <assert.h>. As a
consequence the assertions are always enabled, even when using
--disable-debug-tcg, causing a performance regression, especially on
targets with many registers. For instance on qemu-system-ppc the
speed difference is about 15%.
tcg_debug_assert is controlled directly by CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG and already
uses in some places. This patch replaces all the calls to assert into
calss to tcg_debug_assert.
Backports commit eabb7b91b36b202b4dac2df2d59d698e3aff197a from qemu
Commit 757e725b58c57d added a number of #include "qemu/osdep.h"
files to the tcg-target.c files (as they were named at the time).
These are unnecessary because these files are not standalone C
files, and the tcg/tcg.c file which includes them will have
already included osdep.h on their behalf. Remove the unneeded
include directives.

Rename the per-architecture tcg-target.c files to tcg-target.inc.c.

C files, but are instead #included into another source file.

Backports commit 757e725b58c57d3ebb66a31fd2210df977a12154 from qemu
Softmmu unaligned load/stores currently goes through through the slow
path for two reasons:
- to support unaligned access on host with strict alignement
- to correctly handle accesses crossing pages
x86 is only concerned by the second reason. Unaligned accesses are
avoided by compilers, but are not uncommon. We therefore would like
to see them going through the fast path, if they don't cross pages.
For that we can use the fact that two adjacent TLB entries can't contain
the same page. Therefore accessing the TLB entry corresponding to the
first byte, but comparing its content to page address of the last byte
ensures that we don't cross pages. We can do this check without adding
more instructions in the TLB code (but increasing its length by one
byte) by using the LEA instruction to combine the existing move with the
size addition.
On an x86-64 host, this gives a 3% boot time improvement for a powerpc
guest and 4% for an x86-64 guest.
Backports commit 8cc580f6a0d8c0e2f590c1472cf5cd8e51761760 from qemu
This will be used to size the TLB when more than 8 MMU modes are
used by the target. Limitations come from the limited size of
the immediate fields (which sometimes, as in the case of Aarch64,
extend to instructions that shift the immediate).

The op is sometimes named trunc_shr_i32 and sometimes trunc_shr_i64_i32,
and the name in the README doesn't match the name offered to the

This is less about improved type checking than enabling a
subsequent change to the representation of labels.
Backports commit bec1631100323fac0900aea71043d5c4e22fc2fa from qemu
This is improved type checking for the translators -- it's no longer
possible to accidentally swap arguments to the branch functions.
Note that the code generating backends still manipulate labels as int.
With notable exceptions, the scope of the change is just a few lines
for each target, so it's not worth building extra machinery to do this
change in per-target increments.
