Nobody has mentioned AIX host support on the mailing list for years,
and we have no test systems for it so it is most likely broken.
We've advertised in configure for two releases now that we plan
to drop support for this host OS, and have had no complaints.
Drop the AIX host support code.
We can also drop the now-unused AIX version of sys_cache_info().
Note that the _CALL_AIX define used in the PPC tcg backend is
also used for Linux PPC64, and so that code should not be removed.
Backports commit 7872375219c03682bda3f6191fa5f6a58238ed36 from qemu
This include was forgotten when splitting cacheinfo.c out of
tcg/ppc/tcg-target.inc.c (see commit b255b2c8).
For a Centos7 host, the include path
<signal.h>
<bits/sigcontext.h>
<asm/sigcontext.h>
<asm/elf.h>
<asm/auxvec.h>
implicitly pulls in the desired AT_* defines.
Not so for Debian Jessie.
Backports commit 810d5cad4087236236e00fd3046a16adf26e9060 from qemu
Clang generates the following warning on aarch64 host:
CC util/cacheinfo.o
/home/pranith/qemu/util/cacheinfo.c:121:48: warning: value size does not match register size specified by the constraint and modifier [-Wasm-operand-widths]
asm volatile("mrs\t%0, ctr_el0" : "=r"(ctr));
^
/home/pranith/qemu/util/cacheinfo.c:121:28: note: use constraint modifier "w"
asm volatile("mrs\t%0, ctr_el0" : "=r"(ctr));
^~
%w0
Constraint modifier 'w' is not (yet?) accepted by gcc. Fix this by increasing the ctr size.
Backports commit 2ae96c157ab3155baf6595c08cf5d3fe3c023a60 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.
