[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 00/16] cpu-exec: Safe work in quiescent state

[Paolo Bonzini]

In addition to fixing some of the issues found by Alex, safe work items
need not run anymore with a mutex taken.  Of course, cpu_exec_start/end
and start_exclusive/end_exclusive are essentially the read and write
side of a specialized rwlock, so there is still a lock in disguise looming
to cause deadlocks; however, it does removes worries about recursive
locking from CPU list manipulations.

The new patches are 8, 12 and 13.  Patch 12 of v6 has been split
across patch 10 and patch 16.

v7->v8: rebase


Alex Bennée (1):
  cpus: pass CPUState to run_on_cpu helpers

Paolo Bonzini (9):
  cpus-common: move CPU list management to common code
  cpus-common: fix uninitialized variable use in run_on_cpu
  cpus-common: move exclusive work infrastructure from linux-user
  docs: include formal model for TCG exclusive sections
  cpus-common: always defer async_run_on_cpu work items
  cpus-common: remove redundant call to exclusive_idle()
  cpus-common: simplify locking for start_exclusive/end_exclusive
  cpus-common: Introduce async_safe_run_on_cpu()
  cpus-common: lock-free fast path for cpu_exec_start/end

Sergey Fedorov (6):
  cpus: Move common code out of {async_, }run_on_cpu()
  cpus: Rename flush_queued_work()
  linux-user: Use QemuMutex and QemuCond
  linux-user: Add qemu_cpu_is_self() and qemu_cpu_kick()
  cpus-common: move CPU work item management to common code
  tcg: Make tb_flush() thread safe
