Running "make distclean" in the build tree currently fails since this
tries to run the "distclean" target in the contrib/plugins/ folder, too,
but the Makefile there is missing this target. Thus add 'distclean' there
to fix this issue.
And to avoid regressions with "make distclean", add this command to one
of the build jobs, too.

With the conversion to meson and removing the old QEMU Makefile
baggage we became very silent when building the plugins. Bring in a
copy of the quiet-command logic (and some magic COMMAs) so we can at
least assure developers we are building them.

This new plugin allows to stop emulation using conditions on the
emulation state. By setting this plugin arguments, it is possible
to set an instruction count limit and/or trigger address(es) to stop at.
The code returned at emulation exit can be customized.
This plugin demonstrates how someone could stop QEMU execution.
It could be used for research purposes to launch some code and
deterministically stop it and understand where its execution flow went.

This plugin uses the new time control interface to make decisions
about the state of time during the emulation. The algorithm is
currently very simple. The user specifies an ips rate which applies
per core. If the core runs ahead of its allocated execution time the
plugin sleeps for a bit to let real time catch up. Either way time is
updated for the emulation as a function of total executed instructions
with some adjustments for cores that idle.
Examples
--------
Slow down execution of /bin/true:
$ num_insn=$(./build/qemu-x86_64 -plugin ./build/tests/plugin/libinsn.so -d plugin /bin/true |& grep total | sed -e 's/.*: //')
$ time ./build/qemu-x86_64 -plugin ./build/contrib/plugins/libips.so,ips=$(($num_insn/4)) /bin/true
real 4.000s
Boot a Linux kernel simulating a 250MHz cpu:
$ /build/qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-21-amd64 -append "console=ttyS0" -plugin ./build/contrib/plugins/libips.so,ips=$((250*1000*1000)) -smp 1 -m 512
check time until kernel panic on serial0
Tested in system mode by booting a full debian system, and using:
$ sysbench cpu run
Performance decrease linearly with the given number of ips.

The initial reason to write this patch was to remove the last use of
CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG from the makefiles; the flags to use to build TCG
plugins are unrelated to --enable-debug-tcg, and instead they should
be the same as those used to build emulators (the plugins are not build
via meson for demonstration reasons only).
However, since contrib/plugins/Makefile is also the last case of doing
a compilation job using config-host.mak, go a step further and make it
use a completely separate configuration file, removing all references
to compilers from the toplevel config-host.mak. Clean up references to
empty variables, and use .SECONDARY so that intermediate object files
are not deleted.

Under Darwin, using -shared makes it impossible to have undefined symbols
and -bundle has to be used instead; so detect the OS and use

-soname is not needed for runtime-loaded modules. For example, Meson says:
if not isinstance(target, build.SharedModule) or target.force_soname:
# Add -Wl,-soname arguments on Linux, -install_name on OS X
commands += linker.get_soname_args(
self.environment, target.prefix, target.name, target.suffix,
target.soversion, target.darwin_versions)
(force_soname is set is shared modules are linked into a build target, which is not
the case here.

Meson already knows to test with the positive form of the flag, which
simplifies the test. Warnings are now tested explicitly for the C++
compiler, instead of hardcoding those that are only available for
the C language.
At this point all compiler flags in QEMU_CFLAGS are global and only
depend on the OS. No feature tests are performed in configure.

QEMU adds the path to glib.h to all compilation commands. This is simpler
due to the pervasive use of static_library, and was grandfathered in from
the previous Make-based build system. Until Meson 0.63 the only way to
do this was to detect glib in configure and use add_project_arguments,
but now it is possible to use add_project_dependencies instead.
gmodule is detected in a separate variable, with export enabled for
modules and disabled for plugin.

We used to rely on QEMU_CFLAGS to expose the debug flags but now this
is synthesised by meson and only available to the main build. Add our
own flags if we detect the build has been enabled with
CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG (which is the default for --enable-debug anyway).

This is a plugin intended to help with profiling access to various
bits of system hardware. It only really makes sense for system
emulation.
It takes advantage of the recently exposed helper API that allows us
to see the device name (memory region name) associated with a device.
You can specify arg=read or arg=write to limit the tracking to just
reads or writes (by default it does both).
The pattern option:
-plugin ./tests/plugin/libhwprofile.so,arg=pattern
will allow you to see the access pattern to devices, eg:
gic_cpu @ 0xffffffc010040000
off:00000000, 8, 1, 8, 1
off:00000000, 4, 1, 4, 1
off:00000000, 2, 1, 2, 1
off:00000000, 1, 1, 1, 1
The source option:
-plugin ./tests/plugin/libhwprofile.so,arg=source
will track the virtual source address of the instruction making the
access:
pl011 @ 0xffffffc010031000
pc:ffffffc0104c785c, 1, 4, 0, 0
pc:ffffffc0104c7898, 1, 4, 0, 0
pc:ffffffc010512bcc, 2, 1867, 0, 0
You cannot mix source and pattern.
Finally the match option allow you to limit the tracking to just the
devices you care about.
