2016-08-02qht: do not segfault when gathering stats from an uninitialized qhtEmilio G. Cota
So far, QHT functions assume that the passed qht has previously been initialized--otherwise they segfault. This patch makes an exception for qht_statistics_init, with the goal of simplifying calling code. For instance, qht_statistics_init is called from the 'info jit' dump, and given that under KVM the TB qht is never initialized, we get a segfault. Thus, instead of complicating the 'info jit' code with additional checks, let's allow passing an uninitialized qht to qht_statistics_init. While at it, add a test for this to test-qht. Before the patch (for $ qemu -enable-kvm [...]): (qemu) info jit [...] direct jump count 0 (0%) (2 jumps=0 0%) Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. After the patch the "TB hash buckets", "TB hash occupancy" and "TB hash avg chain" lines are omitted. (qemu) info jit [...] direct jump count 0 (0%) (2 jumps=0 0%) TB hash buckets 0/0 (-nan% head buckets used) TB hash occupancy nan% avg chain occ. Histogram: (null) TB hash avg chain nan buckets.

2016-08-02util/qht: Document memory ordering assumptionsPaolo Bonzini
It is naturally expected that some memory ordering should be provided around qht_insert() and qht_lookup(). Document these assumptions in the header file and put some comments in the source to denote how that memory ordering requirements are fulfilled.

2016-06-11qht: QEMU's fast, resizable and scalable Hash TableEmilio G. Cota
This is a fast, scalable chained hash table with optional auto-resizing, allowing reads that are concurrent with reads, and reads/writes that are concurrent with writes to separate buckets. A hash table with these features will be necessary for the scalability of the ongoing MTTCG work; before those changes arrive we can already benefit from the single-threaded speedup that qht also provides.
