'info tlb' and 'info mem' commands don't scale in heterogeneous
emulation. They will be reworked after the next release, hidden
behind the 'info mmu' command. It is not too late to deprecate
commands, so add the 'info mmu' command as wrapper to the other
ones, but already deprecate them.

An alternative is to just deprecate them, without adding "info mmu" :) It is OK to un-deprecate stuff if we realize its usefulness.

Yes, but they both (implicitly) operate on the current HMP CPU, so the problem with linking into a single binary is that they're not indirected through a method on the CPU object, not the syntax used in the monitor to invoke them, presumably. > I'm indeed only postponing the problem, without looking at what > this code does.

The commands are there because some users find them useful. I just dislike them because I think they're a bit niche and annoying to implement and not consistent across target architectures and not very well documented... By the way, we have no obligation to follow the deprecate-and-drop process for HMP commands; unlike QMP, we give ourselves the license to vary it when we feel like it, because the users are humans, not programs or scripts. -- PMM ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Right, so no rush to get the deprecation in; change it when you agree what you'd like a replacement to look like.
