[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/5] exec: Split up and tidy code_gen_buffer

[Richard Henderson]

It now consists of:

A macro definition of MAX_CODE_GEN_BUFFER_SIZE with host-specific values,

A function size_code_gen_buffer that applies most of the reasoning for
choosing a buffer size,

Three variations of a function alloc_code_gen_buffer that contain all
of the logic for allocating executable memory via a given allocation
mechanism.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/5] exec: Don't make DEFAULT_CODE_GEN_BUFFER_SIZE too large

[Richard Henderson]

For ARM we cap the buffer size to 16MB.  Do not allocate 32MB in that case.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/5] exec: Do not use absolute address hints for code_gen_buffer with -fpie

[Richard Henderson]

The hard-coded addresses inside alloc_code_gen_buffer only make sense
if we're building an executable that will actually run at the address
we've put into the linker scripts.

When we're building with -fpie, the executable will run at some
random location chosen by the kernel.  We get better placement for
the code_gen_buffer if we allow the kernel to place the memory,
as it will tend to to place it near the executable, based on the
PROT_EXEC bit.

Since code_gen_prologue is always inside the executable, this effect
is easily seen at the end of most TB, with the exit_tb opcode, and
with any calls to helper functions.

Nack.  This is hiding some bug elsewhere in the tcg interpreter.

I disbelieve that the interpreter *requires* a pointer in the
low 32-bits of the x86_64 address space.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/5] exec: Allocate code_gen_prologue from code_gen_buffer

[Richard Henderson]

We had a hack for arm and sparc, allocating code_gen_prologue to a
special section.  Which, honestly does no good under certain cases.
We've already got limits on code_gen_buffer_size to ensure that all
TBs can use direct branches between themselves; reuse this limit to
ensure the prologue is also reachable.

As a bonus, we get to avoid marking a page of the main executable's
data segment as executable.
