Allocating an arbitrarily-sized array of tbs results in either
(a) a lot of memory wasted or (b) unnecessary flushes of the code
cache when we run out of TB structs in the array.
An obvious solution would be to just malloc a TB struct when needed,
and keep the TB array as an array of pointers (recall that tb_find_pc()
needs the TB array to run in O(log n)).
Perhaps a better solution, which is implemented in this patch, is to
allocate TB's right before the translated code they describe. This
results in some memory waste due to padding to have code and TBs in
separate cache lines--for instance, I measured 4.7% of padding in the
used portion of code_gen_buffer when booting aarch64 Linux on a
host with 64-byte cache lines. However, it can allow for optimizations
in some host architectures, since TCG backends could safely assume that
the TB and the corresponding translated code are very close to each
other in memory. See this message by rth for a detailed explanation:

Instead of exporting goto_ptr directly to TCG frontends, export
tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptr(), which calls goto_ptr with the pointer
returned by the lookup_tb_ptr() helper. This is the only use case
we have for goto_ptr and lookup_tb_ptr, so having this function is
very convenient. Furthermore, it trivially allows us to avoid calling
the lookup helper if goto_ptr is not implemented by the backend.

Reuse the existing locking provided by stdio to keep in_asm, cpu,
op, op_opt, op_ind, and out_asm as contiguous blocks.
While it isn't possible to interleave e.g. in_asm or op_opt logs
because of the TB lock protecting all code generation, it is
possible to interleave cpu logs, or to interleave a cpu dump with
an out_asm dump.
For mingw32, we appear to have no viable solution for this. The locking
functions are not properly exported from the system runtime library.

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.

The TCG code is quite performance sensitive, but at the same time can
also be quite tricky. That is why asserts that can be enabled with the
--enable-debug-tcg configure option.
This used to work the following way:
| #include "config.h"
|
| ...
|
| #if !defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG) && !defined(NDEBUG)
| /* define it to suppress various consistency checks (faster) */
| #define NDEBUG
| #endif
|
| ...
|
| #include <assert.h>
Since commit 757e725b (tcg: Clean up includes) "config.h" as been
replaced by "qemu/osdep.h" which itself includes <assert.h>. As a
consequence the assertions are always enabled, even when using
--disable-debug-tcg, causing a performance regression, especially on
targets with many registers. For instance on qemu-system-ppc the
speed difference is about 15%.
tcg_debug_assert is controlled directly by CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG and already
uses in some places. This patch replaces all the calls to assert into
calss to tcg_debug_assert.
