Our only statistic so far was "full" tlb flushes, where all mmu_idx
are flushed at the same time.
Now count "partial" tlb flushes where sets of mmu_idx are flushed,
but the set is not maximal. Account one per mmu_idx flushed, as
that is the unit of work performed.
We don't actually count elided flushes yet, but go ahead and change

[ cota: convert tlb_vaddr_to_host; use atomic_read on addr_write ]
Signed-off-by: Emilio G. Cota <cota@braap.org>
Message-Id: <20181009175129.17888-2-cota@braap.org>
Currently we rely on atomic operations for cross-CPU invalidations.
There are two cases that these atomics miss: cross-CPU invalidations
can race with either (1) vCPU threads flushing their TLB, which
happens via memset, or (2) vCPUs calling tlb_reset_dirty on their TLB,
which updates .addr_write with a regular store. This results in
undefined behaviour, since we're mixing regular and atomic ops
on concurrent accesses.
Fix it by using tlb_lock, a per-vCPU lock. All updaters of tlb_table
and the corresponding victim cache now hold the lock.
The readers that do not hold tlb_lock must use atomic reads when
reading .addr_write, since this field can be updated by other threads;
the conversion to atomic reads is done in the next patch.
Note that an alternative fix would be to expand the use of atomic ops.
However, in the case of TLB flushes this would have a huge performance
impact, since (1) TLB flushes can happen very frequently and (2) we
currently use a full memory barrier to flush each TLB entry, and a TLB
has many entries. Instead, acquiring the lock is barely slower than a
full memory barrier since it is uncontended, and with a single lock
acquisition we can flush the entire TLB.

We set up TLB entries in tlb_set_page_with_attrs(), where we have
some logic for determining whether the TLB entry is considered
to be RAM-backed, and thus has a valid addend field. When we
look at the TLB entry in get_page_addr_code(), we use different
logic for determining whether to treat the page as RAM-backed
and use the addend field. This is confusing, and in fact buggy,
because the code in tlb_set_page_with_attrs() correctly decides
that rom_device memory regions not in romd mode are not RAM-backed,
but the code in get_page_addr_code() thinks they are RAM-backed.
This typically results in "Bad ram pointer" assertion if the
guest tries to execute from such a memory region.
Fix this by making get_page_addr_code() just look at the
TLB_MMIO bit in the code_address field of the TLB, which
tlb_set_page_with_attrs() sets if and only if the addend
field is not valid for code execution.

The io_readx() function needs to know whether the load it is
doing is an MMU_DATA_LOAD or an MMU_INST_FETCH, so that it
can pass the right value to the cpu_transaction_failed()
function. Plumb this information through from the softmmu
code.
This is currently not often going to give the wrong answer,
because usually instruction fetches go via get_page_addr_code().
However once we switch over to handling execution from non-RAM by
creating single-insn TBs, the path for an insn fetch to generate
a bus error will be through cpu_ld*_code() and io_readx(),
so without this change we will generate a d-side fault when we
should generate an i-side fault.
We also have to pass the access type via a CPU struct global
down to unassigned_mem_read(), for the benefit of the targets
which still use the cpu_unassigned_access() hook (m68k, mips,

Commit 0b5c91f ("translate-all: use per-page locking in !user-mode",

pages corresponding to a TB (at most two pages) are always distinct,
which is wrong. For instance, an xtensa test provided by Max Filippov
is broken by the commit, since the test maps two virtual pages
to the same physical page:
virt1: 7fff, virt2: 8000
phys1 6000fff, phys2 6000000
Fix it by removing the assumption from page_lock_pair.
If the two physical page addresses are equal, we only lock
the PageDesc once. Note that the two callers of page_lock_pair,
namely page_unlock_tb and tb_link_page, are also updated so that
we do not try to unlock the same PageDesc twice.

Use mmap_lock in user-mode to protect TCG state and the page descriptors.
In !user-mode, each vCPU has its own TCG state, so no locks needed.
Per-page locks are used to protect the page descriptors.
Per-TB locks are used in both modes to protect TB jumps.
Some notes:
- tb_lock is removed from notdirty_mem_write by passing a
locked page_collection to tb_invalidate_phys_page_fast.
- tcg_tb_lookup/remove/insert/etc have their own internal lock(s),
so there is no need to further serialize access to them.
- do_tb_flush is run in a safe async context, meaning no other
vCPU threads are running. Therefore acquiring mmap_lock there
is just to please tools such as thread sanitizer.
- Not visible in the diff, but tb_invalidate_phys_page already
has an assert_memory_lock.
- cpu_io_recompile is !user-only, so no mmap_lock there.
- Added mmap_unlock()'s before all siglongjmp's that could
be called in user-mode while mmap_lock is held.
+ Added an assert for !have_mmap_lock() after returning from
the longjmp in cpu_exec, just like we do in cpu_exec_step_atomic.

The gains are high for 4-8 CPUs. Beyond that point, however, unrelated
lock contention significantly hurts scalability.

tb_lock was needed when the function did retranslation. However,
since fca8a500d5 ("tcg: Save insn data and use it in
cpu_restore_state_from_tb") we don't do retranslation.
Get rid of the comment.

The acquisition of tb_lock was added when the async tlb_flush
was introduced in e3b9ca810 ("cputlb: introduce tlb_flush_* async work.")
tb_lock was there to allow us to do memset() on the tb_jmp_cache's.
However, since f3ced3c592 ("tcg: consistently access cpu->tb_jmp_cache
atomically") all accesses to tb_jmp_cache are atomic, so tb_lock
is not needed here. Get rid of it.

This applies to both user-mode and !user-mode emulation.
Instead of relying on a global lock, protect the list of incoming
jumps with tb->jmp_lock. This lock also protects tb->cflags,
so update all tb->cflags readers outside tb->jmp_lock to use
atomic reads via tb_cflags().
In order to find the destination TB (and therefore its jmp_lock)
from the origin TB, we introduce tb->jmp_dest[].
I considered not using a linked list of jumps, which simplifies
code and makes the struct smaller. However, it unnecessarily increases
memory usage, which results in a performance decrease. See for
instance these numbers booting+shutting down debian-arm:
Time (s) Rel. err (%) Abs. err (s) Rel. slowdown (%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
before 20.88 0.74 0.154512 0.
after 20.81 0.38 0.079078 -0.33524904
GTree 21.02 0.28 0.058856 0.67049808
GHashTable + xxhash 21.63 1.08 0.233604 3.5919540
Using a hash table or a binary tree to keep track of the jumps
doesn't really pay off, not only due to the increased memory usage,
but also because most TBs have only 0 or 1 jumps to them. The maximum
number of jumps when booting debian-arm that I measured is 35, but
as we can see in the histogram below a TB with that many incoming jumps
is extremely rare; the average TB has 0.80 incoming jumps.

Use the recently-gained QHT feature of returning the matching TB if it
already exists. This allows us to get rid of the lookup we perform
right after acquiring tb_lock.

The appended adds assertions to make sure we do not longjmp with page
locks held. Note that user-mode has nothing to check, since page_locks
are !user-mode only.
