This is groundwork for supporting multiple TCG contexts.
The naive solution here is to split code_gen_buffer statically
among the TCG threads; this however results in poor utilization
if translation needs are different across TCG threads.
What we do here is to add an extra layer of indirection, assigning
regions that act just like pages do in virtual memory allocation.
(BTW if you are wondering about the chosen naming, I did not want
to use blocks or pages because those are already heavily used in QEMU).
We use a global lock to serialize allocations as well as statistics
reporting (we now export the size of the used code_gen_buffer with
tcg_code_size()). Note that for the allocator we could just use
a counter and atomic_inc; however, that would complicate the gathering
of tcg_code_size()-like stats. So given that the region operations are
not a fast path, a lock seems the most reasonable choice.
The effectiveness of this approach is clear after seeing some numbers.
I used the bootup+shutdown of debian-arm with '-tb-size 80' as a benchmark.
Note that I'm evaluating this after enabling per-thread TCG (which
is done by a subsequent commit).
* -smp 1, 1 region (entire buffer):
qemu: flush code_size=83885014 nb_tbs=154739 avg_tb_size=357

qemu: flush code_size=83885014 nb_tbs=151816 avg_tb_size=367
That is, 8 flushes.
* -smp 8, 32 regions (80/32 MB per region) [i.e. this patch]:
qemu: flush code_size=76328008 nb_tbs=141040 avg_tb_size=356
qemu: flush code_size=75366534 nb_tbs=138000 avg_tb_size=361

qemu: flush code_size=76667052 nb_tbs=138508 avg_tb_size=368
Again, 8 flushes. Note how buffer utilization is not 100%, but it
is close. Smaller region sizes would yield higher utilization,
but we want region allocation to be rare (it acquires a lock), so
we do not want to go too small.
* -smp 8, static partitioning of 8 regions (10 MB per region):
qemu: flush code_size=21936504 nb_tbs=40570 avg_tb_size=354
qemu: flush code_size=11472174 nb_tbs=20633 avg_tb_size=370

qemu: flush code_size=59665928 nb_tbs=107063 avg_tb_size=372
qemu: flush code_size=38380824 nb_tbs=68597 avg_tb_size=374

qemu: flush code_size=39848888 nb_tbs=71433 avg_tb_size=372
qemu: flush code_size=64708840 nb_tbs=119052 avg_tb_size=359
qemu: flush code_size=49830008 nb_tbs=90992 avg_tb_size=362
qemu: flush code_size=68372408 nb_tbs=123442 avg_tb_size=368
qemu: flush code_size=33555560 nb_tbs=59514 avg_tb_size=378

qemu: flush code_size=37104248 nb_tbs=67609 avg_tb_size=364
That is, 20 flushes. Note how a static partitioning approach uses
the code buffer poorly, leading to many unnecessary flushes.

This is groundwork for supporting multiple TCG contexts.
To avoid scalability issues when profiling info is enabled, this patch
makes the profiling info counters distributed via the following changes:
1) Consolidate profile info into its own struct, TCGProfile, which
TCGContext also includes. Note that tcg_table_op_count is brought
into TCGProfile after dropping the tcg_ prefix.
2) Iterate over the TCG contexts in the system to obtain the total counts.
This change also requires updating the accessors to TCGProfile fields to
use atomic_read/set whenever there may be conflicting accesses (as defined
in C11) to them.

The tb->cflags field is not passed to tcg generation functions. So

Most architectures have <= 32 registers, which results in a 4-byte hole
