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.

In user-mode emulation env->idt.base memory is
allocated in linux-user/main.c with
size 8*512 = 4096 (for 64-bit).
When fake interrupt EXCP_SYSCALL is thrown
do_interrupt_user checks destination privilege level
for this fake exception, and tries to read 4 bytes
at address base + (256 * 2^4)=4096, that causes
segfault.
Privlege level was checked only for int's, so lets
read dpl from memory only for this case.

All operations that take a floatx80 as an operand need to have their
inputs checked for malformed encodings. In all of these cases, use the
function floatx80_invalid_encoding to perform the check. If an invalid
operand is found, raise an invalid operation exception, and then return
either NaN (for fp-typed results) or the integer indefinite value (the
minimum representable signed integer value, for int-typed results).
For the non-quiet comparison operations, this touches adjacent code in
order to pass style checks.

For module build, .mo objects are passed to LINK and consumed in
process-archive-undefs. The reason behind that is documented in the
comment above process-archive-undefs.
Similarly, extract-libs should be called with .mo filtered out too.
Otherwise, the .mo-libs are added to the link command incorrectly,
spoiling the purpose of modularization.
Currently we don't have any .mo-libs usage, but it will be used soon
when we modularize more multi-source objects, like sdl and gtk.

Lock contention in the hot path of moving between existing patched
TranslationBlocks is the main drag in multithreaded performance. This
patch pushes the tb_lock() usage down to the two places that really need
it:
- code generation (tb_gen_code)
- jump patching (tb_add_jump)
The rest of the code doesn't really need to hold a lock as it is either
using per-CPU structures, atomically updated or designed to be used in
concurrent read situations (qht_lookup).
To keep things simple I removed the #ifdef CONFIG_USER_ONLY stuff as the
locks become NOPs anyway until the MTTCG work is completed.

When invalidating a translation block, set an invalid flag into the
TranslationBlock structure first. It is also necessary to check whether
the target TB is still valid after acquiring 'tb_lock' but before calling
tb_add_jump() since TB lookup is to be performed out of 'tb_lock' in
future. Note that we don't have to check 'last_tb'; an already invalidated
TB will not be executed anyway and it is thus safe to patch it.

Ensure atomicity and ordering of CPU's 'tb_flushed' access for future

This field can only be touched from another thread by tb_flush() in user
mode emulation. So the only access to be sequential atomic is:
* a single write in tb_flush();
* reads/writes out of 'tb_lock'.
In future, before enabling MTTCG in system mode, tb_flush() must be safe

There is no need to make sure that the memory is zeroed after the

with g_memdup() instead.
Backports commit a337f295defad7eb977da4d6317cf70f7f2fa4b4 from qemu
QEMU's code relies on left shifts of signed integers always
being defined behaviour with the obvious 2s-complement
semantics. The only way to tell the compiler (and any
associated undefined-behaviour sanitizer) that we require a
C dialect with these semantics is to use the -fwrapv option.
This is a bit of a heavy hammer for the job as it also gives
us guaranteed semantics on integer arithmetic overflow which
in theory we don't require.
In an ideal world this would allow us to drop the warning
flag -Wno-shift-negative-value, but we must retain this to
avoid spurious warnings on clang versions predating the
fix to https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25552.
Backports commit 2d31515bc0880a1cea86ce638d2a109f4f4e6f7d from qemu
Some software algorithms are based on the hardware's cache info, for example,
for x86 linux kernel, when cpu1 want to wakeup a task on cpu2, cpu1 will trigger
a resched IPI and told cpu2 to do the wakeup if they don't share low level
cache. Oppositely, cpu1 will access cpu2's runqueue directly if they share llc.
The relevant linux-kernel code as bellow:
static void ttwu_queue(struct task_struct *p, int cpu)
{
struct rq *rq = cpu_rq(cpu);
......
if (... && !cpus_share_cache(smp_processor_id(), cpu)) {
......
ttwu_queue_remote(p, cpu); /* will trigger RES IPI */
return;
}
......
ttwu_do_activate(rq, p, 0); /* access target's rq directly */
......
}
In real hardware, the cpus on the same socket share L3 cache, so one won't
trigger a resched IPIs when wakeup a task on others. But QEMU doesn't present a
virtual L3 cache info for VM, then the linux guest will trigger lots of RES IPIs
under some workloads even if the virtual cpus belongs to the same virtual socket.
For KVM, there will be lots of vmexit due to guest send IPIs.
The workload is a SAP HANA's testsuite, we run it one round(about 40 minuates)
and observe the (Suse11sp3)Guest's amounts of RES IPIs which triggering during
the period:

The VM's topology is "1*socket 8*cores 2*threads".
After present virtual L3 cache info for VM, the amounts of RES IPIs in guest
reduce 85%.
For KVM, vcpus send IPIs will cause vmexit which is expensive, so it can cause
severe performance degradation. We had tested the overall system performance if
vcpus actually run on sparate physical socket. With L3 cache, the performance
improves 7.2%~33.1%(avg:15.7%).

Backports commit e0fe723c24562c8f909bb40f131bfdbe75650677 from qemu
With a vfio assigned device we lay down a base MemoryRegion registered
as an IO region, giving us read & write accessors. If the region
supports mmap, we lay down a higher priority sub-region MemoryRegion
on top of the base layer initialized as a RAM device pointer to the
mmap. Finally, if we have any quirks for the device (ie. address
ranges that need additional virtualization support), we put another IO
sub-region on top of the mmap MemoryRegion. When this is flattened,
we now potentially have sub-page mmap MemoryRegions exposed which
cannot be directly mapped through KVM.
This is as expected, but a subtle detail of this is that we end up
with two different access mechanisms through QEMU. If we disable the
mmap MemoryRegion, we make use of the IO MemoryRegion and service
accesses using pread and pwrite to the vfio device file descriptor.
If the mmap MemoryRegion is enabled and results in one of these
sub-page gaps, QEMU handles the access as RAM, using memcpy to the
mmap. Using either pread/pwrite or the mmap directly should be
correct, but using memcpy causes us problems. I expect that not only
does memcpy not necessarily honor the original width and alignment in
performing a copy, but it potentially also uses processor instructions
not intended for MMIO spaces. It turns out that this has been a
problem for Realtek NIC assignment, which has such a quirk that
creates a sub-page mmap MemoryRegion access.
To resolve this, we disable memory_access_is_direct() for ram_device
regions since QEMU assumes that it can use memcpy for those regions.
Instead we access through MemoryRegionOps, which replaces the memcpy
with simple de-references of standard sizes to the host memory.
With this patch we attempt to provide unrestricted access to the RAM
device, allowing byte through qword access as well as unaligned
access. The assumption here is that accesses initiated by the VM are
driven by a device specific driver, which knows the device
capabilities. If unaligned accesses are not supported by the device,
we don't want them to work in a VM by performing multiple aligned
accesses to compose the unaligned access. A down-side of this
philosophy is that the xp command from the monitor attempts to use
the largest available access weidth, unaware of the underlying
device. Using memcpy had this same restriction, but at least now an
operator can dump individual registers, even if blocks of device
memory may result in access widths beyond the capabilities of a
given device (RTL NICs only support up to dword).
Backports commit 1b16ded6a512809f99c133a97f19026fe612b2de from qemu
Setting skip_dump on a MemoryRegion allows us to modify one specific
code path, but the restriction we're trying to address encompasses
more than that. If we have a RAM MemoryRegion backed by a physical
device, it not only restricts our ability to dump that region, but
also affects how we should manipulate it. Here we recognize that
MemoryRegions do not change to sometimes allow dumps and other times
not, so we replace setting the skip_dump flag with a new initializer
so that we know exactly the type of region to which we're applying
this behavior.

Rather than rely on recursion during the middle of register allocation,
lower indirect registers to loads and stores off the indirect base into
plain temps.
For an x86_64 host, with sufficient registers, this results in identical
code, modulo the actual register assignments.
For an i686 host, with insufficient registers, this means that temps can
be (temporarily) spilled to the stack in order to satisfy an allocation.
This as opposed to the possibility of not being able to spill, to allocate
a register for the indirect base, in order to perform a spill.

in '/machine/unattached' and as result caller of
