translate-all: use per-page locking in !user-mode
Groundwork for supporting parallel TCG generation. Instead of using a global lock (tb_lock) to protect changes to pages, use fine-grained, per-page locks in !user-mode. User-mode stays with mmap_lock. Sometimes changes need to happen atomically on more than one page (e.g. when a TB that spans across two pages is added/invalidated, or when a range of pages is invalidated). We therefore introduce struct page_collection, which helps us keep track of a set of pages that have been locked in the appropriate locking order (i.e. by ascending page index). This commit first introduces the structs and the function helpers, to then convert the calling code to use per-page locking. Note that tb_lock is not removed yet. While at it, rename tb_alloc_page to tb_page_add, which pairs with tb_page_remove. Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Emilio G.
