Peter Maydell 78b6eaa6f3 ptimer: Provide new transaction-based API
Provide the new transaction-based API. If a ptimer is created
using ptimer_init() rather than ptimer_init_with_bh(), then
instead of providing a QEMUBH, it provides a pointer to the
callback function directly, and has opted into the transaction
API. All calls to functions which modify ptimer state:
 - ptimer_set_period()
 - ptimer_set_freq()
 - ptimer_set_limit()
 - ptimer_set_count()
 - ptimer_run()
 - ptimer_stop()
must be between matched calls to ptimer_transaction_begin()
and ptimer_transaction_commit(). When ptimer_transaction_commit()
is called it will evaluate the state of the timer after all the
changes in the transaction, and call the callback if necessary.

In the old API the individual update functions generally would
call ptimer_trigger() immediately, which would schedule the QEMUBH.
In the new API the update functions will instead defer the
"set s->next_event and call ptimer_reload()" work to
ptimer_transaction_commit().

Because ptimer_trigger() can now immediately call into the
device code which may then call other ptimer functions that
update ptimer_state fields, we must be more careful in
ptimer_reload() not to cache fields from ptimer_state across
the ptimer_trigger() call. (This was harmless with the QEMUBH
mechanism as the BH would not be invoked until much later.)

We use assertions to check that:
 * the functions modifying ptimer state are not called outside
   a transaction block
 * ptimer_transaction_begin() and _commit() calls are paired
 * the transaction API is not used with a QEMUBH ptimer

There is some slight repetition of code:
 * most of the set functions have similar looking "if s->bh
   call ptimer_reload, otherwise set s->need_reload" code
 * ptimer_init() and ptimer_init_with_bh() have similar code
We deliberately don't try to avoid this repetition, because
it will all be deleted when the QEMUBH version of the API
is removed.

/* The ptimer API implements a simple periodic countdown timer.
* The countdown timer has a value (which can be read and written via

* using ptimer_run(), the value will count downwards at the frequency
* which has been configured using ptimer_set_period() or ptimer_set_freq().
* When it reaches zero it will trigger a QEMU bottom half handler, and
* can be set to either reload itself from a specified limit value
* and keep counting down, or to stop (as a one-shot timer).
*
* Forgetting to set the period/frequency (or setting it to zero) is a
* bug in the QEMU device and will cause warning messages to be printed
* to stderr when the guest attempts to enable the timer.

*
* - Setting period to 0 of the running timer emits error message and

*
* - Starting to run with counter = 0 or setting it to "0" while timer
* is running causes a trigger and reloads counter with a limit value.
* If limit = 0, ptimer emits error message and stops the timer.
*
* - Counter value of the running timer is one less than the actual value.
*
* - Changing period/frequency of the running timer loses time elapsed
* since the last period, effectively restarting the timer with a
* counter = counter value at the moment of change (.i.e. one less).
