2018-08-23qom: convert the CPU list to RCUEmilio G. Cota
Iterating over the list without using atomics is undefined behaviour, since the list can be modified concurrently by other threads (e.g. every time a new thread is created in user-mode). Fix it by implementing the CPU list as an RCU QTAILQ. This requires a little bit of extra work to traverse list in reverse order (see previous patch), but other than that the conversion is trivial.

2016-10-31*_run_on_cpu: introduce run_on_cpu_data typePaolo Bonzini
This changes the *_run_on_cpu APIs (and helpers) to pass data in a run_on_cpu_data type instead of a plain void *. This is because we sometimes want to pass a target address (target_ulong) and this fails on 32 bit hosts emulating 64 bit guests.

2016-09-27cpus-common: lock-free fast path for cpu_exec_start/endPaolo Bonzini
Set cpu->running without taking the cpu_list lock, only requiring it if there is a concurrent exclusive section. This requires adding a new field to CPUState, which records whether a running CPU is being counted in pending_cpus. When an exclusive section is started concurrently with cpu_exec_start, cpu_exec_start can use the new field to determine if it has to wait for the end of the exclusive section. Likewise, cpu_exec_end can use it to see if start_exclusive is waiting for that CPU. This a separate patch for easier bisection of issues. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

2016-09-27cpus-common: simplify locking for start_exclusive/end_exclusivePaolo Bonzini
It is not necessary to hold qemu_cpu_list_mutex throughout the exclusive section, because no other exclusive section can run while pending_cpus != 0. exclusive_idle() is called in cpu_exec_start(), and that prevents any CPUs created after start_exclusive() from entering cpu_exec() during an exclusive section.

2016-09-27cpus-common: remove redundant call to exclusive_idle()Paolo Bonzini
No need to call exclusive_idle() from cpu_exec_end since it is done immediately afterwards in cpu_exec_start. Any exclusive section could run as soon as cpu_exec_end leaves, because cpu->running is false and the mutex is not taken, so the call does not add any protection either.

2016-09-27cpus-common: always defer async_run_on_cpu work itemsPaolo Bonzini
async_run_on_cpu is only called from the I/O thread, not from CPU threads, so it doesn't make any difference. It will make a difference however for async_safe_run_on_cpu.

2016-09-27cpus-common: move exclusive work infrastructure from linux-userPaolo Bonzini
This will serve as the base for async_safe_run_on_cpu. Because start_exclusive uses CPU_FOREACH, merge exclusive_lock with qemu_cpu_list_lock: together with a call to exclusive_idle (via cpu_exec_start/end) in cpu_list_add, this protects exclusive work against concurrent CPU addition and removal.
