This patch introduces several helpers to pass return address
which points to the TB. Correct return address allows correct
restoring of the guest PC and icount. These functions should be used when

After commit 626cf8f (icount: set can_do_io outside TB execution,
2014-12-08), can_do_io is set to 1 if not executing code. It is
no longer necessary to make this assumption in cpu_can_do_io.
It is also possible to remove the use_icount test, simply by
never setting cpu->can_do_io to 0 unless use_icount is true.
With these changes cpu_can_do_io boils down to a read of
cpu->can_do_io.

If it is not permitted then an exception will be taken in the same
way as if this were a real write access (and we will not return).
Otherwise the function will return, and there will be a valid

QEMU system mode page table walks are expensive. Taken by running QEMU
qemu-system-x86_64 system mode on Intel PIN , a TLB miss and walking a
4-level page tables in guest Linux OS takes ~450 X86 instructions on
average.
QEMU system mode TLB is implemented using a directly-mapped hashtable.
This structure suffers from conflict misses. Increasing the
associativity of the TLB may not be the solution to conflict misses as
all the ways may have to be walked in serial.
A victim TLB is a TLB used to hold translations evicted from the
primary TLB upon replacement. The victim TLB lies between the main TLB
and its refill path. Victim TLB is of greater associativity (fully
associative in this patch). It takes longer to lookup the victim TLB,
but its likely better than a full page table walk. The memory
translation path is changed as follows :
Before Victim TLB:
1. Inline TLB lookup
2. Exit code cache on TLB miss.
3. Check for unaligned, IO accesses
4. TLB refill.
5. Do the memory access.
6. Return to code cache.
After Victim TLB:
1. Inline TLB lookup
2. Exit code cache on TLB miss.
3. Check for unaligned, IO accesses
4. Victim TLB lookup.
5. If victim TLB misses, TLB refill
6. Do the memory access.
7. Return to code cache
The advantage is that victim TLB can offer more associativity to a
directly mapped TLB and thus potentially fewer page table walks while
still keeping the time taken to flush within reasonable limits.
However, placing a victim TLB before the refill path increase TLB
refill path as the victim TLB is consulted before the TLB refill. The
performance results demonstrate that the pros outweigh the cons.
some performance results taken on SPECINT2006 train
datasets and kernel boot and qemu configure script on an
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz Linux machine are shown in the
Google Doc link below.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eiItzekZwNQOal_h-5iJmC4tMDi051m9qidi5_nwvH4/edit?usp=sharing
In summary, victim TLB improves the performance of qemu-system-x86_64 by
11% on average on SPECINT2006, kernelboot and qemu configscript and with
highest improvement of in 26% in 456.hmmer. And victim TLB does not result
in any performance degradation in any of the measured benchmarks. Furthermore,
the implemented victim TLB is architecture independent and is expected to
benefit other architectures in QEMU as well.
Although there are measurement fluctuations, the performance
improvement is very significant and by no means in the range of
noises.

Historically the qemu tlb "addend" field was used for both RAM and IO accesses,
so needed to be able to hold both host addresses (unsigned long) and guest
physical addresses (target_phys_addr_t). However since the introduction of
the iotlb field it has only been used for RAM accesses.
This means we can change the type of addend to unsigned long, and remove
associated hacks in the big-endian TCG backends.
We can also remove the host dependence from target_phys_addr_t.

kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.
Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.
kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.
N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.
