A duplicate insn is one that is appears to be executed twice in a row.
This is currently possible due to -icount and cpu_io_recompile()
causing a re-translation of a block. On it's own this won't trigger
any tests though.
The heuristics that the plugin use can't deal with the x86 rep
instruction which (validly) will look like executing the same
instruction several times. To avoid problems later we tweak the rules
for x86 to run the "inline" version of the plugin. This also has the
advantage of increasing coverage of the plugin code (see bugfix in
previous commit).

The current EXRL tests crash on real machines: we must not use r0 as a base
register for trt/trtr, otherwise the content gets ignored. Also, we must
not use r0 for exrl, otherwise it gets ignored.
Let's use the "a" constraint so we get a general purpose register != r0.
For op2, we can simply specify a memory operand directly via "Q" (Memory
reference without index register and with short displacement).

The definition of top_bit used in this function is one higher
than that used in the Arm ARM psuedo-code, which put the error
indication at top_bit - 1 at the wrong place, which meant that
it wasn't visible to Auth.
Fixing the definition of top_bit requires more changes, because
its most common use is for the count of bits in top_bit:bot_bit,
which would then need to be computed as top_bit - bot_bit + 1.
For now, prefer the minimal fix to the error indication alone.

The SSE instruction implementations all fail to raise the expected
IEEE floating-point exceptions because they do nothing to convert the
exception state from the softfloat machinery into the exception flags
in MXCSR.
Fix this by adding such conversions. Unlike for x87, emulated SSE
floating-point operations might be optimized using hardware floating
point on the host, and so a different approach is taken that is
compatible with such optimizations. The required invariant is that
all exceptions set in env->sse_status (other than "denormal operand",
for which the SSE semantics are different from those in the softfloat
code) are ones that are set in the MXCSR; the emulated MXCSR is
updated lazily when code reads MXCSR, while when code sets MXCSR, the
exceptions in env->sse_status are set accordingly.
A few instructions do not raise all the exceptions that would be
raised by the softfloat code, and those instructions are made to save
and restore the softfloat exception state accordingly.
Nothing is done about "denormal operand"; setting that (only for the
case when input denormals are *not* flushed to zero, the opposite of
the logic in the softfloat code for such an exception) will require
custom code for relevant instructions, or else architecture-specific
conditionals in the softfloat code for when to set such an exception
together with custom code for various SSE conversion and rounding
instructions that do not set that exception.
Nothing is done about trapping exceptions (for which there is minimal
and largely broken support in QEMU's emulation in the x87 case and no
support at all in the SSE case).

The x87 fyl2xp1 emulation is currently based around conversion to
double. This is inherently unsuitable for a good emulation of any
floatx80 operation, even before considering that it is a particularly
naive implementation using double (adding 1 then using log rather than
attempting a better emulation using log1p).
Reimplement using the soft-float operations, as was done for f2xm1; as
in that case, m68k has related operations but not exactly this one and
it seemed safest to implement directly rather than reusing the m68k
code to avoid accumulation of errors.
A test is included with many randomly generated inputs. The
assumption of the test is that the result in round-to-nearest mode
should always be one of the two closest floating-point numbers to the
mathematical value of y * log2(x + 1); the implementation aims to do
somewhat better than that (about 70 correct bits before rounding). I
haven't investigated how accurate hardware is.
Intel manuals describe a narrower range of valid arguments to this
instruction than AMD manuals. The implementation accepts the wider
range (it's needed anyway for the core code to be reusable in a
subsequent patch reimplementing fyl2x), but the test only has inputs
in the narrower range so that it's valid on hardware that may reject
or produce poor results for inputs outside that range.
Code in the previous implementation that sets C2 for some out-of-range
arguments is not carried forward to the new implementation; C2 is
undefined for this instruction and I suspect that code was just
cut-and-pasted from the trigonometric instructions (fcos, fptan, fsin,
fsincos) where C2 *is* defined to be set for out-of-range arguments.

The x87 f2xm1 emulation is currently based around conversion to
double. This is inherently unsuitable for a good emulation of any
floatx80 operation, even before considering that it is a particularly
naive implementation using double (computing with pow and then
subtracting 1 rather than attempting a better emulation using expm1).
Reimplement using the soft-float operations, including additions and
multiplications with higher precision where appropriate to limit
accumulation of errors. I considered reusing some of the m68k code
for transcendental operations, but the instructions don't generally
correspond exactly to x87 operations (for example, m68k has 2^x and
e^x - 1, but not 2^x - 1); to avoid possible accumulation of errors
from applying multiple such operations each rounding to floatx80
precision, I wrote a direct implementation of 2^x - 1 instead. It
would be possible in principle to make the implementation more
efficient by doing the intermediate operations directly with
significands, signs and exponents and not packing / unpacking floatx80
format for each operation, but that would make it significantly more
complicated and it's not clear that's worthwhile; the m68k emulation
doesn't try to do that.

When we make changes to the TCG we sometimes cause regressions that
are deep into the execution cycle of the guest. Debugging this often
requires comparing large volumes of trace information to figure out
where behaviour has diverged.
The lockstep plugin utilises a shared socket so two QEMU's running
with the plugin will write their current execution position and wait
to receive the position of their partner process. When execution
diverges the plugins output where they were and the previous few
blocks before unloading themselves and letting execution continue.
Originally I planned for this to be most useful with -icount but it
turns out you can get divergence pretty quickly due to asynchronous
qemu_cpu_kick_rr_cpus() events causing one side to eventually run into
a short block a few cycles before the other side. For this reason I've
added a bit of tracking and I think the divergence reporting could be
finessed to report only if we really start to diverge in execution.
An example run would be:
qemu-system-sparc -monitor none -parallel none -net none \
-M SS-20 -m 256 -kernel day11/zImage.elf \
-plugin ./tests/plugin/liblockstep.so,arg=lockstep-sparc.sock \
-d plugin,nochain
with an identical command in another window in the same working
directory.

The check-tcg plugins build was failing because some special case
tests that needed -cpu max failed because the plugin variant hadn't
carried across the QEMU_OPTS tweak.
Guests which globally set QEMU_OPTS=-cpu FOO where unaffected.

If you jump back and forth between branches while developing plugins
you end up debugging failures caused by plugins left in the build
directory. Fix this by basing plugins on the source tree instead.
