[PATCH v2 00/93] TCI fixes and cleanups
Posted by Richard Henderson 3 years, 2 months ago
Almost 7 years ago I detailed 5 major problems in tci[1], of
which three still remain:

  * Unaligned accesses to the bytecode stream, which means
    that we immediately SIGBUS on any host requiring alignment.
  * Non-portable calls to helper functions.
  * Full of useless ifdefs and TODOs.

To my mind, this means the code is unmaintained, despite what it
says in MAINTAINERS.  Thus tci *should* be simply removed.
However, every time removal is suggested, someone comes out of the
woodwork and says we should keep it, because it's useful for $FOO.

Anyway, if we're not going to remove tci, then we have to fix it.

Previously, I rewrote tci all in one lump.  Which was obviously a
mistake, since it meant that the patch was never going to get
reviewed.  This time I've done the rewrite in tiny pieces.

Previously, I invented a moderately complex encoding scheme that
allowed any operand to encode a register or an int32_t immediate.
This time the encoding is quite simple: with only 4 exceptions
all operands encoded into 4-bit slots (registers & conditions).
I rely on the new TEMP_CONST optimization to do a decent job of
loading an immediate value into a register once (via movi), and
reusing that across the TB.

There is a disassembler built into tcg/tci.c, replacing the stub
in disas/tci.c, which reuses the same decoding helpers that are
used by the interpreter.  So finally -d out_asm is useful.

This is good enough to pass make check check-tcg with all of the
docker cross-compilers enabled.  I can boot linux with aarch64,
alpha, and s390x guests.

Not listed, but also a problem:
 * it's a configure-time choice, not a runtime choice

(Personally I'm on the "we should just remove it" side.)

That's the feature which I also desire most. Technically it was not 
possible to have native and interpreted TCG in the same code some years 
ago when I tried to implement this, but that might have changed as TCG 
has evolved a lot. Having TCI as a runtime choice would not only require 
less CI builds but also allow new use cases for TCG testing.

I also agree with most of Richard's list of problems and appreciate the 
efforts to fix them.

I disagree on the #ifdefs which can help to understand TCG better in my 
opinion, so for me they have a useful side effect of being also 
documentation.

Most of the problems which you named above were already mentioned in the 
README for TCI from 2011.

Nevertheless I had the impression that TCI was "good enough" for those 
who used it, and it was sufficient to fix a newly used TCG opcode which 
triggered a TODO assertion from time to time. Obviously I underestimated 
Richard's desire to have a 100 % working TCI. I am sorry for that.

Technically the patch series looks reasonable. I like especially the 
disassembler. Is there a Git repository which makes pulling all changes 
easier? It would also help if the patches which were already reviewed 
were already merged in qemu master.

Regarding misaligned bytecode access, there exist two solutions. We 
could either use code which handles that correctly (I had sent a patch 
using memcpy two years ago and recently sent a V2 which uses the QEMU 
standard functions for that). Or we can align the data like it is done 
in Richard's patches. For me it is not obvious which one is better. 
While a single access is faster for aligned data, this might be 
different for sequential access on misaligned data which might profit 
from better caching of smaller bytecode.

Kind regards,

Stefan

I think it is obvious.  If a host requires aligned access, a single aligned
load requires only one instruction, and an unaligned access requires lots.
E.g., for sparc,

int foo(void *p)
{
    int x;
    __builtin_memcpy(&x, p, 4);
    return x;
}

	ldub	[%i0], %g3
	ldub	[%i0+1], %g2
	stb	%g3, [%fp+2043]
	stb	%g2, [%fp+2044]
	ldub	[%i0+2], %g3
	ldub	[%i0+3], %g2
	stb	%g3, [%fp+2045]
	stb	%g2, [%fp+2046]
	ldsw	[%fp+2043], %i0

Such unaligned accesses are *really* slow.

I believe you'll find that the rewrite encoding is smaller already.

Well... that depends on how you see tci being most used.

If, like John Glaubitz, you want to use tci for odd systems that don't have a
native backend, then a configure-time choice is appropriate.

If you're trying to use tci as a cross-check to the native tcg backend, then a
command-line choice could be appropriate.  With the bits done below, it could
be just two extra files compiled, which I suppose is light-weight enough.

If you're trying to use tci as a true interpreter for a single-use TB... then
nothing about tci in its current form is appropriate.  Of course, I also
believe that our single-use TBs should not be single-use -- because of mttcg,
we can no longer reuse the memory from them, and therefore we might as well
just keep them around, properly hashed.

It is still not possible.

However.  There are a number of things that I would like to change about tcg
that would make that more practical.

In particular, and most importantly, tcg should be sufficiently partitioned
from any target that it should be built once.

  * There are a number of constants that tcg gets from
    target/foo/cpu.h as defines.  We could just as easily
    receive those constants via some structure.  The code
    that is generated in the end should be the same.

    This is a prerequisite to having multiple guest cpus
    at the same time.  The canonical example of course are
    the Xilinx boards that have both Arm and MicroBlaze cpus.

  * There are a number of constants that target/ gets from
    tcg, but shouldn't.  These are mistakenly used by arm
    and tricore (probably by my hand), and represent premature
    optimization in the front end in both cases, IMO.
    (Even though I'm probably guilty of all instances.)

    We'll know we've got all of these fixed when
      touch tcg/i386/tcg-target.h
    rebuilds no files outside of tcg/.

    Having these constants in some structure is a
    prerequisite to having a native tcg backend live
    along side any kind of tci, including the pure
    interpreter form.

> I disagree on the #ifdefs which can help to understand TCG better in my
> opinion, so for me they have a useful side effect of being also documentation.

Surely not.  Documentation is documentation; ifdefs are clutter, to be used
only when there is no alternative.

I think what you actually want is the structure described above, where all of
the TCG_TARGET_HAS_* knobs are data, and you can change them ad hoc -- even
from within gdb.

I'll queue the ones that have been reviewed to tcg-next.
That'll get this lot down into the 60's.  :-)
