This paves the way for enabling scalable parallel generation of TCG code. Instead of tracking TBs with a single binary search tree (BST), use a BST for each TCG region, protecting it with a lock. This is as scalable as it gets, since each TCG thread operates on a separate region. The core of this change is the introduction of struct tcg_region_tree, which contains a pointer to a GTree and an associated lock to serialize accesses to it. We then allocate an array of tcg_region_tree's, adding the appropriate padding to avoid false sharing based on qemu_dcache_linesize. Given a tc_ptr, we first find the corresponding region_tree. This is done by special-casing the first and last regions first, since they might be of size != region.size; otherwise we just divide the offset by region.stride. I was worried about this division (several dozen cycles of latency), but profiling shows that this is not a fast path. Note that region.stride is not required to be a power of two; it is only required to be a multiple of the host's page size. Note that with this design we can also provide consistent snapshots about all region trees at once; for instance, tcg_tb_foreach acquires/releases all region_tree locks before/after iterating over them. For this reason we now drop tb_lock in dump_exec_info(). As an alternative I considered implementing a concurrent BST, but this can be tricky to get right, offers no consistent snapshots of the BST, and performance and scalability-wise I don't think it could ever beat having separate GTrees, given that our workload is insert-mostly (all concurrent BST designs I've seen focus, understandably, on making lookups fast, which comes at the expense of convoluted, non-wait-free insertions/removals).
