Commit 2afbdf8 ("target-i386: exception handling for memory helpers",
2015-09-15) changed tlb_fill's cpu_restore_state+raise_exception_err
to raise_exception_err_ra. After this change, the cpu_restore_state
and raise_exception_err's cpu_loop_exit are merged into
raise_exception_err_ra's cpu_loop_exit_restore.
This actually fixed some bugs, but when SVM is enabled there is a
second path from raise_exception_err_ra to cpu_loop_exit. This is
the VMEXIT path, and now cpu_vmexit is called without a
cpu_restore_state before.
The fix is to pass the retaddr to cpu_vmexit (via
cpu_svm_check_intercept_param). All helpers can now use GETPC() to pass
the correct retaddr, too.

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.

Having a fixed-size hash table for keeping track of all translation blocks
is suboptimal: some workloads are just too big or too small to get maximum
performance from the hash table. The MRU promotion policy helps improve
performance when the hash table is a little undersized, but it cannot
make up for severely undersized hash tables.
Furthermore, frequent MRU promotions result in writes that are a scalability
bottleneck. For scalability, lookups should only perform reads, not writes.
This is not a big deal for now, but it will become one once MTTCG matures.
The appended fixes these issues by using qht as the implementation of
the TB hash table. This solution is superior to other alternatives considered,
namely:
- master: implementation in QEMU before this patchset
- xxhash: before this patch, i.e. fixed buckets + xxhash hashing + MRU.
- xxhash-rcu: fixed buckets + xxhash + RCU list + MRU.
MRU is implemented here by adding an intermediate struct
that contains the u32 hash and a pointer to the TB; this
allows us, on an MRU promotion, to copy said struct (that is not
at the head), and put this new copy at the head. After a grace
period, the original non-head struct can be eliminated, and
after another grace period, freed.
- qht-fixed-nomru: fixed buckets + xxhash + qht without auto-resize +
no MRU for lookups; MRU for inserts.
The appended solution is the following:
- qht-dyn-nomru: dynamic number of buckets + xxhash + qht w/ auto-resize +
no MRU for lookups; MRU for inserts.
The plots below compare the considered solutions. The Y axis shows the
boot time (in seconds) of a debian jessie image with arm-softmmu; the X axis
sweeps the number of buckets (or initial number of buckets for qht-autoresize).
The plots in PNG format (and with errorbars) can be seen here:

log2 number of buckets
Note that the original point before this patch series is X=15 for "master";
the little sensitivity to the increased number of buckets is due to the
poor hashing function in master.
xxhash-rcu has significant overhead due to the constant churn of allocating
and deallocating intermediate structs for implementing MRU. An alternative
would be do consider failed lookups as "maybe not there", and then
acquire the external lock (tb_lock in this case) to really confirm that
there was indeed a failed lookup. This, however, would not be enough
to implement dynamic resizing--this is more complex: see
"Resizable, Scalable, Concurrent Hash Tables via Relativistic
Programming" by Triplett, McKenney and Walpole. This solution was
discarded due to the very coarse RCU read critical sections that we have
in MTTCG; resizing requires waiting for readers after every pointer update,
and resizes require many pointer updates, so this would quickly become
prohibitive.
qht-fixed-nomru shows that MRU promotion is advisable for undersized
hash tables.
However, qht-dyn-mru shows that MRU promotion is not important if the
hash table is properly sized: there is virtually no difference in
performance between qht-dyn-nomru and qht-dyn-mru.
Before this patch, we're at X=15 on "xxhash"; after this patch, we're at
X=15 @ qht-dyn-nomru. This patch thus matches the best performance that we
can achieve with optimum sizing of the hash table, while keeping the hash
table scalable for readers.
The improvement we get before and after this patch for booting debian jessie
with arm-softmmu is:
- Intel Xeon E5-2690: 10.5% less time
- Intel i7-4790K: 5.2% less time
We could get this same improvement _for this particular workload_ by
statically increasing the size of the hash table. But this would hurt
workloads that do not need a large hash table. The dynamic (upward)
resizing allows us to start small and enlarge the hash table as needed.
A quick note on downsizing: the table is resized back to 2**15 buckets
on every tb_flush; this makes sense because it is not guaranteed that the
table will reach the same number of TBs later on (e.g. most bootup code is
thrown away after boot); it makes sense to grow the hash table as
more code blocks are translated. This also avoids the complication of
having to build downsizing hysteresis logic into qht.

For some workloads such as arm bootup, tb_phys_hash is performance-critical.
The is due to the high frequency of accesses to the hash table, originated
by (frequent) TLB flushes that wipe out the cpu-private tb_jmp_cache's.
More info:
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg05098.html
To dig further into this I modified an arm image booting debian jessie to
immediately shut down after boot. Analysis revealed that quite a bit of time
is unnecessarily spent in tb_phys_hash: the cause is poor hashing that
results in very uneven loading of chains in the hash table's buckets;
the longest observed chain had ~550 elements.
The appended addresses this with two changes:
1) Use xxhash as the hash table's hash function. xxhash is a fast,
high-quality hashing function.
2) Feed the hashing function with not just tb_phys, but also pc and flags.
This improves performance over using just tb_phys for hashing, since that
resulted in some hash buckets having many TB's, while others getting very few;
with these changes, the longest observed chain on a single hash bucket is
brought down from ~550 to ~40.
Tests show that the other element checked for in tb_find_physical,
cs_base, is always a match when tb_phys+pc+flags are a match,
so hashing cs_base is wasteful. It could be that this is an ARM-only
thing, though. UPDATE:
On Tue, Apr 05, 2016 at 08:41:43 -0700, Richard Henderson wrote:
> The cs_base field is only used by i386 (in 16-bit modes), and sparc (for a TB

BTW, after this change the hash table should not be called "tb_hash_phys"
anymore; this is addressed later in this series.
This change gives consistent bootup time improvements. I tested two
host machines:
- Intel Xeon E5-2690: 11.6% less time
- Intel i7-4790K: 19.2% less time
Increasing the number of hash buckets yields further improvements. However,
using a larger, fixed number of buckets can degrade performance for other
workloads that do not translate as many blocks (600K+ for debian-jessie arm
bootup). This is dealt with later in this series.

It is not safe to make a direct jump to a TB spanning two pages in
system emulation because the mapping for the second page can get changed
but we don't take care of direct jumps in this case.
However in user mode emulation, this is not the case because there's
only static address translation and TBs are always invalidated properly.

'tb_invalidated_flag' was meant to catch two events:
* some TB has been invalidated by tb_phys_invalidate();
* the whole translation buffer has been flushed by tb_flush().
Then it was checked:
* in cpu_exec() to ensure that the last executed TB can be safely
linked to directly call the next one;
* in cpu_exec_nocache() to decide if the original TB should be provided
for further possible invalidation along with the temporarily
generated TB.
It is always safe to patch an invalidated TB since it is not going to be
used anyway. It is also safe to call tb_phys_invalidate() for an already
invalidated TB. Thus, setting this flag in tb_phys_invalidate() is
simply unnecessary. Moreover, it can prevent from pretty proper linking
of TBs, if any arbitrary TB has been invalidated. So just don't touch it
in tb_phys_invalidate().
If this flag is only used to catch whether tb_flush() has been called
then rename it to 'tb_flushed'. Declare it as 'bool' and stick to using
only 'true' and 'false' to set its value. Also, instead of setting it in
tb_gen_code(), just after tb_flush() has been called, do it right inside
of tb_flush().
In cpu_exec(), this flag is used to track if tb_flush() has been called
and have made 'next_tb' (a reference to the last executed TB) invalid
for linking it to directly call the next TB. tb_flush() can be called
during the CPU execution loop from tb_gen_code(), during TB execution or
by another thread while 'tb_lock' is released. Catch for translation
buffer flush reliably by resetting this flag once before first TB lookup
and each time we find it set before trying to add a direct jump. Don't
touch in in tb_find_physical().
Each vCPU has its own execution loop in multithreaded mode and thus
should have its own copy of the flag to be able to reset it with its own
'next_tb' and don't affect any other vCPU execution thread. So make this
flag per-vCPU and move it to CPUState.
In cpu_exec_nocache(), we only need to check if tb_flush() has been
called from tb_gen_code() called by cpu_exec_nocache() itself. To do
this reliably, preserve the old value of the flag, reset it before
calling tb_gen_code(), check afterwards, and combine the saved value
back to the flag.
This patch is based on the patch "tcg: move tb_invalidated_flag to
CPUState" from Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>.

The value returned from tcg_qemu_tb_exec() is the value passed to the
corresponding tcg_gen_exit_tb() at translation time of the last TB
attempted to execute. It is a little confusing to store it in a variable
named 'next_tb'. In fact, it is a combination of 4-byte aligned pointer
and additional information in its two least significant bits. Break it
down right away into two variables named 'last_tb' and 'tb_exit' which
are a pointer to the last TB attempted to execute and the TB exit
reason, correspondingly. This simplifies the code and improves its
readability.
Correct a misleading documentation comment for tcg_qemu_tb_exec() and
fix logging in cpu_tb_exec(). Also rename a misleading 'next_tb' in
another couple of places.

We don't take care of direct jumps when address mapping changes. Thus we
must be sure to generate direct jumps so that they always keep valid
even if address mapping changes. Luckily, we can only allow to execute a
TB if it was generated from the pages which match with current mapping.
Document tcg_gen_goto_tb() declaration and note the reason for
destination PC limitations.
Some targets with variable length instructions allow TB to straddle a
page boundary. However, we make sure that both of TB pages match the
current address mapping when looking up TBs. So it is safe to do direct
jumps into the both pages. Correct the checks for some of those targets.
Given that, we can safely patch a TB which spans two pages. Remove the
unnecessary check in cpu_exec() and allow such TBs to be patched.

We are inconsistent with the type of tb->flags: usage varies loosely
between int and uint64_t. Settle to uint32_t everywhere, which is
superior to both: at least one target (aarch64) uses the most significant
bit in the u32, and uint64_t is wasteful.
Compile-tested for all targets.

Improve the TB execution logging so that it is easier to identify
what is happening from trace logs:
* move the "Trace" logging of executed TBs into cpu_tb_exec()
so that it is emitted if and only if we actually execute a TB,
and for consistency for the CPU state logging
* log when we link two TBs together via tb_add_jump()
* log when cpu_tb_exec() returns early from a chain of TBs
The new style logging looks like this:
Trace 0x7fb7cc822ca0 [ffffffc0000dce00]
