target/ppc: Add recording of taken branches to BHRB
This commit continues adding support for the Branch History
Rolling Buffer (BHRB) as is provided starting with the P8
processor and continuing with its successors. This commit
is limited to the recording and filtering of taken branches.
The following changes were made:
- Enabled functionality on P10 processors only due to
performance impact seen with P8 and P9 where it is not
disabled for non problem state branches.
- Added a BHRB buffer for storing branch instruction and
target addresses for taken branches
- Renamed gen_update_cfar to gen_update_branch_history and
added a 'target' parameter to hold the branch target
address and 'inst_type' parameter to use for filtering
- Added TCG code to gen_update_branch_history that stores
data to the BHRB and updates the BHRB offset.
- Added BHRB resource initialization and reset functions
