[PATCH 00/13] single-binary: compile target/arm twice

[Pierrick Bouvier]

More work toward single-binary.
This series convert target/arm/cpu.c.

Built on {linux, windows, macos} x {x86_64, aarch64}
Fully tested on linux-x86_64

Sounds good to me, it's the right include set.
I tried to remove cpu.h, and noticed the error, so readded it, without 
investigating too much.

Feel free to merge the current patch on your side (or the version you 
wrote, it's ok for me).

[PATCH 03/13] meson: add common libs for target and target_system

[Pierrick Bouvier]

Following what we did for hw/, we need target specific common libraries
for target. We need 2 different libraries:
- code common to a base architecture
- system code common to a base architecture

For user code, it can stay compiled per target for now.

Somehow related to this patch, when converting from target_system_arch
to target_common_system_arch, emptying it, I get:

../../meson.build:4237:27: ERROR: Key microblaze is not in the dictionary.

4235   if target.endswith('-softmmu')
4236     target_type='system'
4237     t = target_system_arch[target_base_arch].apply(config_target, 
strict: false)

Patch 12 introduces an empty arm_common_ss and it does not seem to be a 
problem.
Feel free to share your meson.build if there is a problem.

Empty arm_common_ss[] isn't a problem. What I'm saying is
when I move all files from target_system_arch[ARCH] to 
target_common_system_arch[ARCH] I get an error because
target_system_arch[ARCH] isn't expected to be empty.
I suppose due to:

   target_system_arch[target_base_arch].apply()

Yes, I can keep/add an empty source set but it makes meson
files review more cumbersome (unused source set, but if you
remove it then the build fails).

Oh, I see.
Then, you just need to add a conditional
"if target_base_arch in target_system_arch" around this spot, and remove 
the dictionary entry set in target/microblaze/meson.build.

- target_arch += {'microblaze': microblaze_ss}

This target was much quicker than arm, it's nice :)

[PATCH 04/13] target/arm: move kvm stubs and remove CONFIG_KVM from kvm_arm.h

[Pierrick Bouvier]

We have to be careful to expose struct kvm_vcpu_init only when kvm is
possible, thus the additional CONFIG_KVM_IS_POSSIBLE around
kvm_arm_create_scratch_host_vcpu.

[PATCH 05/13] target/arm/kvm_arm: copy definitions from kvm headers

[Pierrick Bouvier]

"linux/kvm.h" is not included for code compiled without
COMPILING_PER_TARGET, and headers are different depending architecture
(arm, arm64).
Thus we need to manually expose some definitions that will
be used by target/arm, ensuring they are the same for arm amd aarch64.

As well, we must but prudent to not redefine things if code is already
including linux/kvm.h, thus the #ifndef COMPILING_PER_TARGET guard.

I'm not keen on the duplication. It seems to be the only reason we have
struct kvm_vcpu_init is for kvm_arm_create_scratch_host_vcpu() where the
only *external* user passes in a NULL.

If kvm_arm_create_scratch_host_vcpu() is made internal static to
target/arm/kvm.c which will should always include the real linux headers
you just need a QMP helper.

For the IRQ types is this just a sign of target/arm/cpu.c needing
splitting into TCG and KVM bits?

I'll move relevant functions to target/arm/kvm.c, so cpu.c can be

Alas this function is used in target/arm/arm-qmp-cmds.c, and if we move 
the code using it, it pulls QAPI, which is target dependent at this time.

Since struct kvm_vcpu_init is only used by pointer, I could workaround 
this by doing a simple forward declaration in kvm_arm.h.

[PATCH 07/13] target/arm/cpu: remove CONFIG_KVM from arm_cpu_kvm_set_irq

[Pierrick Bouvier]

This function is called only under kvm_enabled(), so this is safe.
Previous commit took care to add kvm_arm_set_irq stub if needed.

We need to keep a CONFIG_KVM_IS_POSSIBLE guard because
this function uses KVM_ARM_IRQ_CPU_IRQ, KVM_ARM_IRQ_CPU_FIQ and
KVM_ARM_IRQ_TYPE_CPU which are only available in this context.

I'm not the most familiar with arm but as far as I can tell these are
not equivalent. My understanding is that arm_cpu_is_big_endian() models
data endianness, and TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN instruction endianness.

Also, for user mode where this branch is relevant, bswap_code() still
depends on TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN anyway and the above branch would reduce to
(on arm32)

  if (TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN ^ sctlr_b) {
      info->endian = sctlr_b ? BFD_ENDIAN_LITTLE : BFD_ENDIAN_BIG;
  }

giving the opposite result to the original code.

Ooops, that's a good point, I missed it was calling 
arm_cpu_data_is_big_endian under the hoods.

I'll stick to target_big_endian().

Yes, I was expecting some files to eventually be really common, but so 
far I didn't find some in target/arm.
Same comment goes for the patch 3 with associated target_common libraries.

I'm not sure if it's worth saving the lines (especially in main 
meson.build), compared to the "pain" for someone to have to write them 
later.

I don't mind removing this though, if you think it's too bad to leave 
this unused.

[PATCH 13/13] target/arm/cpu32-stubs.c: compile file twice (user, system)

[Pierrick Bouvier]
