[Qemu-devel] [RFC v3 19/19] cpu-exec: remove tb_lock from the hot-path |

Lock contention in the hot path of moving between existing patched
TranslationBlocks is the main drag on MTTCG performance. This patch
pushes the tb_lock() usage down to the two places that really need it:
- code generation (tb_gen_code)
- jump patching (tb_add_jump)
The rest of the code doesn't really need to hold a lock as it is either
using per-CPU structures or designed to be used in concurrent read
situations (qht_lookup).
