Cross compile gcc is more picky about argument order than msys. Changed
the meson command to take the (now renamed) libqemu_plugin_api.a as a
lib, rather than an object. This puts it in the right place on both

It was hard to track down this leak as it was an internal allocation
by glib and the backtraces did not give much away. The autofree was
freeing the allocation with g_free() but not taking care of the
individual strings. They should have been freed with g_strfreev()
instead.
Searching the glib source code for the correct string free function
led to:
G_DEFINE_AUTO_CLEANUP_FREE_FUNC(GStrv, g_strfreev, NULL)
and indeed if you read to the bottom of the documentation page you
will find:
typedef gchar** GStrv;
A typedef alias for gchar**. This is mostly useful when used together with g_auto().
So fix up all the g_autofree g_strsplit case that smugly thought they
had de-allocation covered.

This is a perfectly natural occurrence for x86 "rep movb",
where the "rep" prefix forms a counted loop of the one insn.
During the tests/tcg/multiarch/memory test, this logging is

This commit makes the plugin adhere to the new plugins arg-passing
scheme by expecting full-form boolean args instead of short-form
booleans. This necessitates that we introduce a new argument, here
"track", to accept "r", "w", or "rw".
Also, it makes arguments not positional and we only care about the last
value specified for a certain argument.
callback/inline args are now supplied separately as bool arguments so
that both can be enabled individually.

Made argument "inline" not positional, this has two benefits. First is
that we adhere to how QEMU passes args generally, by taking the last

A duplicate insn is one that is appears to be executed twice in a row.
This is currently possible due to -icount and cpu_io_recompile()
causing a re-translation of a block. On it's own this won't trigger
any tests though.
The heuristics that the plugin use can't deal with the x86 rep
instruction which (validly) will look like executing the same
instruction several times. To avoid problems later we tweak the rules
for x86 to run the "inline" version of the plugin. This also has the
advantage of increasing coverage of the plugin code (see bugfix in
previous commit).

‘MemTxAttrs’ {aka ‘struct MemTxAttrs’} changed in GCC 9.1
and many other repetitions. This structure, and the functions
amongst which it is passed, are not part of a QEMU public API.
Therefore we do not care how the compiler passes the argument,
so long as the compiler is self-consistent.
The only portion of QEMU which does have a public api, and so
must have a stable abi, is "qemu/plugin.h". We test this by
forcing -Wpsabi in tests/plugin/Makefile.

When we make changes to the TCG we sometimes cause regressions that
are deep into the execution cycle of the guest. Debugging this often
requires comparing large volumes of trace information to figure out
where behaviour has diverged.
The lockstep plugin utilises a shared socket so two QEMU's running
with the plugin will write their current execution position and wait
to receive the position of their partner process. When execution
diverges the plugins output where they were and the previous few
blocks before unloading themselves and letting execution continue.
Originally I planned for this to be most useful with -icount but it
turns out you can get divergence pretty quickly due to asynchronous
qemu_cpu_kick_rr_cpus() events causing one side to eventually run into
a short block a few cycles before the other side. For this reason I've
added a bit of tracking and I think the divergence reporting could be
finessed to report only if we really start to diverge in execution.
An example run would be:
qemu-system-sparc -monitor none -parallel none -net none \
-M SS-20 -m 256 -kernel day11/zImage.elf \
-plugin ./tests/plugin/liblockstep.so,arg=lockstep-sparc.sock \
-d plugin,nochain
with an identical command in another window in the same working
directory.
