translate-all: protect TB jumps with a per-destination-TB lock
This applies to both user-mode and !user-mode emulation.
Instead of relying on a global lock, protect the list of incoming
jumps with tb->jmp_lock. This lock also protects tb->cflags,
so update all tb->cflags readers outside tb->jmp_lock to use
atomic reads via tb_cflags().
In order to find the destination TB (and therefore its jmp_lock)
from the origin TB, we introduce tb->jmp_dest[].
I considered not using a linked list of jumps, which simplifies
code and makes the struct smaller. However, it unnecessarily increases
memory usage, which results in a performance decrease. See for
instance these numbers booting+shutting down debian-arm:
Time (s) Rel. err (%) Abs. err (s) Rel. slowdown (%)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
before 20.88 0.74 0.154512 0.
after 20.81 0.38 0.079078 -0.33524904
GTree 21.02 0.28 0.058856 0.67049808
GHashTable + xxhash 21.63 1.08 0.233604 3.5919540
Using a hash table or a binary tree to keep track of the jumps
doesn't really pay off, not only due to the increased memory usage,
but also because most TBs have only 0 or 1 jumps to them. The maximum
number of jumps when booting debian-arm that I measured is 35, but
as we can see in the histogram below a TB with that many incoming jumps
is extremely rare; the average TB has 0.80 incoming jumps.
n_jumps: 379208; avg jumps/tb: 0.801099
