Subject: [PULL 24/24] tcg: enable MTTCG by default for ARM on x86 hosts
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 11:21:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170224112109.3147-25-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170224112109.3147-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>

This enables the multi-threaded system emulation by default for ARMv7
and ARMv8 guests using the x86_64 TCG backend. This is because on the
guest side:

  - The ARM translate.c/translate-64.c have been converted to
    - use MTTCG safe atomic primitives
    - emit the appropriate barrier ops
  - The ARM machine has been updated to
    - hold the BQL when modifying shared cross-vCPU state
    - defer powerctl changes to async safe work

All the host backends support the barrier and atomic primitives but
need to provide same-or-better support for normal load/store
operations.
