H A Dirq.c8d04fb55 Thu Feb 23 12:29:11 CST 2017 Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> tcg: drop global lock during TCG code execution

This finally allows TCG to benefit from the iothread introduction: Drop
the global mutex while running pure TCG CPU code. Reacquire the lock
when entering MMIO or PIO emulation, or when leaving the TCG loop.

We have to revert a few optimization for the current TCG threading
model, namely kicking the TCG thread in qemu_mutex_lock_iothread and not
kicking it in qemu_cpu_kick. We also need to disable RAM block
reordering until we have a more efficient locking mechanism at hand.

Still, a Linux x86 UP guest and my Musicpal ARM model boot fine here.
These numbers demonstrate where we gain something:

20338 jan 20 0 331m 75m 6904 R 99 0.9 0:50.95 qemu-system-arm
20337 jan 20 0 331m 75m 6904 S 20 0.9 0:26.50 qemu-system-arm

The guest CPU was fully loaded, but the iothread could still run mostly
independent on a second core. Without the patch we don't get beyond

32206 jan 20 0 330m 73m 7036 R 82 0.9 1:06.00 qemu-system-arm
32204 jan 20 0 330m 73m 7036 S 21 0.9 0:17.03 qemu-system-arm

We don't benefit significantly, though, when the guest is not fully
loading a host CPU.

H A Dconsole.c8bb93c6f Wed Mar 15 09:48:25 CDT 2017 Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@linaro.org> ui/console: ensure graphic updates don't race with TCG vCPUs

Commit 8d04fb55..

tcg: drop global lock during TCG code execution

..broke the assumption that updates to the GUI couldn't happen at the
same time as TCG vCPUs where running. As a result the TCG vCPU could
still be updating a directly mapped frame-buffer while the display
side was updating. This would cause artefacts to appear when the
update code assumed that memory block hadn't changed.

The simplest solution is to ensure the two things can't happen at the
same time like the old BQL locking scheme. Here we use the solution
introduced for MTTCG and schedule the update as async_safe_work when
we know no vCPUs can be running.
