This is a small clean up. tb_find_fast() is a final consumer of this
variable so no need to pass it by reference. 'last_tb' is always updated
by subsequent cpu_loop_exec_tb() in cpu_exec().
This change also simplifies calling cpu_exec_nocache() in
cpu_handle_exception().

There is no need to make sure that the memory is zeroed after the
allocation if we also immediatly fill the whole buffer afterwards
with memcpy(). Thus g_new0 should be g_new instead. But since we
are also doing a memcpy() here, we can also simply replace both
with g_memdup() instead.

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.

b) We don't warn about trying to use host-phys-bits in TCG mode,
we just fall back to the TCG default. This allows the machine

Currently QEMU sets the x86 number of physical address bits to the
magic number 40. This is only correct on some small AMD systems;
Intel systems tend to have 36, 39, 46 bits, and large AMD systems
tend to have 48.
Having the value different from your actual hardware is detectable
by the guest and in principal can cause problems;
The current limit of 40 stops TB VMs being created by those lucky
enough to have that much.
This patch lets you set the physical bits by a cpu property but
defaults to the same 40bits which matches TCGs setup.
I've removed the ancient warning about the 42 bit limit in exec.c;
I can't find that limit in there and no one else seems to know where
it is.
We use a magic value of 0 as the property default so that we can
later distinguish between the default and a user set value.
Backports commit af45907a132857cfd47acc998bf5f7c26cd13071 from qemu
Turn on the ability to pass command and event arguments in
a single boxed parameter, which must name a non-empty type
(although the type can be a struct with all optional members).
For structs, it makes it possible to pass a single qapi type
instead of a breakout of all struct members (useful if the
arguments are already in a struct or if the number of members
is large); for other complex types, it is now possible to use
a union or alternate as the data for a command or event.
The empty type may be technically feasible if needed down the
road, but it's easier to forbid it now and relax things to allow
it later, than it is to allow it now and have to special case
how the generated 'q_empty' type is handled (see commit 7ce106a9
for reasons why nothing is generated for the empty type). An
alternate type is never considered empty, but now that a boxed
type can be either an object or an alternate, we have to provide
a trivial QAPISchemaAlternateType.is_empty(). The new call to
arg_type.is_empty() during QAPISchemaCommand.check() requires
that we first check the type in question; but there is no chance
of introducing a cycle since objects do not refer back to commands.
We still have a split in syntax checking between ad-hoc parsing
up front (merely validates that 'boxed' has a sane value) and
during .check() methods (if 'boxed' is set, then 'data' must name
a non-empty user-defined type).
Generated code is unchanged, as long as no client uses the
new feature.
Backports commit c818408e449ea55371253bd4def1c1dc87b7bb03 from qemu
The next patch will add support for passing a qapi union type
as the 'data' of a command. But to do that, the user function
for implementing the command, as called by the generated
marshal command, must take the corresponding C struct as a
single boxed pointer, rather than a breakdown into one
parameter per member. Even without a union, being able to use
a C struct rather than a list of parameters can make it much
easier to handle coding with QAPI.
This patch adds the internal plumbing of a 'boxed' flag
associated with each command and event. In several cases,
this means adding indentation, with one new dead branch and
the remaining branch being the original code more deeply
nested; this was done so that the new implementation in the
next patch is easier to review without also being mixed with
indentation changes.
For this patch, no behavior or generated output changes, other
than the testsuite outputting the value of the new flag
(always False for now).
Backports commit 48825ca419fd9c8140d4fecb24e982d68ebca74f from qemu
Commit 7ce106a9 documented why we don't generated a visit_type_FOO()
for implicit types; and therefore events with an anonymous type for
'data' have to open-code a visit. Note that the open-coded visit in
qapi-event.c is slightly different from what is done in
qapi-visit.c for normal types, in part because we don't have to
check for *obj being NULL or free things on error. But where the
type is not implicit, it is nicer to reuse the normal visit instead
of open-coding a duplicate.

In the near future, we want to lift our artificial restriction of

currently open-coded check for empty members will become
insufficient. Factor it out into a new helper method is_empty()

assert that it is not used prior to the completion of .check().
Update places that were checking for (non-)empty .members to use

All of the current callers assert that there are no variants (either
directly, or by qapi.py asserting that base types have no variants),

We were previously enforcing that all flat union branches were
found in the corresponding enum, but not that all enum values
were covered by branches. The resulting generated code would
abort() if the user passes the uncovered enum value.
We don't automatically treat non-present branches in a flat
union as empty types, for symmetry with simple unions (there,
the enum type is generated from the list of all branches, so
there is no way to omit a branch but still have it be part of
the union).
A later patch will add shorthand so that branches that are empty
in flat unions can be declared as 'branch':{} instead of
'branch':'Empty', to avoid the need for an otherwise useless
explicit empty type. [Such shorthand for simple unions is a bit
harder to justify, since we would still have to generate a
wrapper type that parses 'data':{}, rather than truly being an
empty branch with no additional siblings to the 'type' member.]

of RCU the freeing of the PhysPageMaps is delayed so that sometimes

Doing this instead of saving the raw PS_PRIV and TL. This means
that all nucleus mode TBs (TL > 0) can be shared. This fixes a
bug in that we didn't include HS_PRIV in the TB flags, and so could
produce incorrect TB matches for hypervisor state.
The LSU and DMMU states were unused by the translator. Including
them in TB flags meant unnecessary mismatches from tb_find_fast.

The global is only ever read for one insn; we can just as well
use a load from env instead and generate the same code. This
also allows us to indicate the the associated helpers do not
touch TCG globals.

Header guard symbols should match their file name to make guard
collisions less likely. Offenders found with
scripts/clean-header-guards.pl -vn.
Cleaned up with scripts/clean-header-guards.pl, followed by some
renaming of new guard symbols picked by the script to better ones.

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.

Most of them use guard symbols like CPU_$target_H, but we also have
__MIPS_CPU_H__ and __TRICORE_CPU_H__. They all upset
scripts/clean-header-guards.pl.
The script dislikes CPU_$target_H because they don't match their file
name (they should, to make guard collisions less likely). The others
are reserved identifiers.
Clean them all up: use guard symbol $target_CPU_H for
target-$target/cpu.h.

Now that all uses of cpu_to_*w() and *_to_cpup() have been replaced
with either ld*_p()/st*_p() or by doing direct dereferences and
using the cpu_to_*()/*_to_cpu() byteswap functions, we can remove
the unused implementations.

There are functions tlb_fill(), cpu_unaligned_access() and
do_unaligned_access() that are called with access type and mmu index
arguments. But these arguments are named 'is_write' and 'is_user' in their
declarations. The patches fix the arguments to avoid a confusion.

In user-mode emulation Translation Block can consist of 2 guest pages.
In that case QEMU also mprotects 2 host pages that are dedicated for
guest memory, containing instructions. QEMU detects self-modifying code
with SEGFAULT signal processing.
In case if instruction in 1st page is modifying memory of 2nd
page (or vice versa) QEMU will mark 2nd page with PAGE_WRITE,
invalidate TB, generate new TB contatining 1 guest instruction and
exit to CPU loop. QEMU won't call mprotect, and new TB will cause
same SEGFAULT. Page will have both PAGE_WRITE_ORG and PAGE_WRITE
flags, so QEMU will handle the signal as guest binary problem,
and exit with guest SEGFAULT.
Solution is to do following: In case if current TB was invalidated
continue to invalidate TBs from remaining guest pages and mark pages
as PAGE_WRITE. After that disable host page protection with mprotect.
If current tb was invalidated longjmp to main loop. That is more
efficient, since we won't get SEGFAULT when executing new TB.
Backports commit 7399a337e4126f7c8c8af3336726f001378c4798 from qemu
As it currently stands, QEMU does not properly handle self-modifying code
when the write is unaligned and crosses a page boundary. The procedure
for handling a write to the current translation block is to write-protect
the current translation block, catch the write, split up the translation
block into the current instruction (which remains write-protected so that
the current instruction is not modified) and the remaining instructions
in the translation block, and then restore the CPU state to before the
write occurred so the write will be retried and successfully executed.
However, since unaligned writes across pages are split into one-byte
writes for simplicity, writes to the second page (which is not the
current TB) may succeed before a write to the current TB is attempted,
and since these writes are not invalidated before resuming state after
splitting the TB, these writes will be performed a second time, thus
corrupting the second page. Credit goes to Patrick Hulin for
discovering this.
In recent 64-bit versions of Windows running in emulated mode, this
results in either being very unstable (a BSOD after a couple minutes of
uptime), or being entirely unable to boot. Windows performs one or more
8-byte unaligned self-modifying writes (xors) which intersect the end
of the current TB and the beginning of the next TB, which runs into the
aforementioned issue. This commit fixes that issue by making the
unaligned write loop perform the writes in forwards order, instead of
reverse order. This way, QEMU immediately tries to write to the current
TB, and splits the TB before any write to the second page is executed.
The write then proceeds as intended. With this patch applied, I am able
to boot and use Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit in QEMU without
KVM.
Per Richard Henderson's input, this patch also ensures the second page
is in the TLB before executing the write loop, to ensure the second
page is mapped.
