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.
