[PATCH 00/10 V2] Cache code access for disassemble

[Yao Qi]

Hi,
This is the V2 of this patch series.  In the discussion of V1, the
major comments are:

 1. dcache.c and target_dcache needs some cleanups and factor.
 2. commands "set dcache size" and "set dcahce line-size" needs a
    description on semantics when dcache is per-address_space.
 3. Use a single global 'target_dcache' for both stack caching and
    code caching.
 4. Replace "executable code" with "code segment" in doc and NEWS.

V2 addresses these comments as follows:

Patch #1 ~ #4 are about cleanups and factors to dcache.c and
target_dcache.  Patch #5 is a minor optimization to target_dcache.
Patch #6 and #7 change target_dcache to per-address_space mode, and
update doc on dcache-related commands.

We decide to use single 'target_dcache' for caching different types
of access, so cache invalidation caused by option "stack-cache"
changes makes troubles.  Think a little, I find we don't have to
invalidate target_dcache when option "stack-cache" is changed.  This
is what patch #8 does, and looks change in patch #8 doesn't affect
the semantics of option "set stack-cache".

Patch #9 adds command "set code-cache", similar to "set stack-cache", and
patch #10 is to use TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read for disassembly.

Patch 4, 5, 7, and 9 need doc review.

Each patch is regression tested on x86_64-linux.

*** BLURB HERE ***

Yao Qi (10):
  Remove last_cache
  Don't update target_dcache if it is not initialized
  Move target-dcache out of target.c
  Don't stress 'remote' in "Data Caching" in doc
  Invalidate or shrink dcache when setting is changed.
  Add REGISTRY for struct address_space.
  Associate target_dcache to address_space.
  Don't invalidate dcache when option stack-cache is changed
  set/show code-cache
  Use target_read_code in disassemble.
