2020-07-15plugins: expand the bb plugin to be thread safe and track per-cpuAlex Bennée
While there isn't any easy way to make the inline counts thread safe we can ensure the callback based ones are. While we are at it we can reduce introduce a new option ("idle") to dump a report of the current bb and insn count each time a vCPU enters the idle state.

2020-07-15tests/plugins: don't unconditionally add -WpsabiAlex Bennée
Not all compilers support the -Wpsabi (clang-9 in my case). To handle this gracefully we pare back the shared build machinery so the Makefile is relatively "standalone". We still take advantage of config-host.mak as configure has done a bunch of probing for us but that is it.

2020-06-18configure: Add -Wno-psabiRichard Henderson
On aarch64, gcc 9.3 is generating qemu/exec.c: In function ‘address_space_translate_iommu’: qemu/exec.c:431:28: note: parameter passing for argument of type \ ‘MemTxAttrs’ {aka ‘struct MemTxAttrs’} changed in GCC 9.1 and many other repetitions. This structure, and the functions amongst which it is passed, are not part of a QEMU public API. Therefore we do not care how the compiler passes the argument, so long as the compiler is self-consistent. The only portion of QEMU which does have a public api, and so must have a stable abi, is "qemu/plugin.h". We test this by forcing -Wpsabi in tests/plugin/Makefile.

2020-06-16plugins: new lockstep plugin for debugging TCG changesAlex Bennée
When we make changes to the TCG we sometimes cause regressions that are deep into the execution cycle of the guest. Debugging this often requires comparing large volumes of trace information to figure out where behaviour has diverged. The lockstep plugin utilises a shared socket so two QEMU's running with the plugin will write their current execution position and wait to receive the position of their partner process. When execution diverges the plugins output where they were and the previous few blocks before unloading themselves and letting execution continue. Originally I planned for this to be most useful with -icount but it turns out you can get divergence pretty quickly due to asynchronous qemu_cpu_kick_rr_cpus() events causing one side to eventually run into a short block a few cycles before the other side. For this reason I've added a bit of tracking and I think the divergence reporting could be finessed to report only if we really start to diverge in execution. An example run would be: qemu-system-sparc -monitor none -parallel none -net none \ -M SS-20 -m 256 -kernel day11/zImage.elf \ -plugin ./tests/plugin/liblockstep.so,arg=lockstep-sparc.sock \ -d plugin,nochain with an identical command in another window in the same working directory.

2020-02-25tests/plugins: make howvec clean-up after itself.Alex Bennée
TCG plugins are responsible for their own memory usage and although the plugin_exit is tied to the end of execution in this case it is still poor practice. Ensure we delete the hash table and related data when we are done to be a good plugin citizen.

This is a very simple versioning API which allows the plugin infrastructure to check the API a plugin was built against. We also expose a min/cur API version to the plugin via the info block in case it wants to avoid using old deprecated APIs in the future.

2019-10-28tests/plugin: add a hotblocks pluginAlex Bennée
This is a simple plugin to track which translation blocks are call most often. As we don't have a view of the internals of TCG we can only work by the address of the start of the block so we also need to tracks how often the address is translated. As there will be multiple blocks starting at the same address. We can try and work around this by futzing the value to feed to the hash with the insn count.
