[Qemu-devel] MTTCG next version?

[Frederic Konrad <fred.konrad@greensocs.com>]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to do the next version of the MTTCG work:

I would like to rebase on Alvise atomic instruction branch:
   - Alvise can you rebase it on the 2.4.0 version without MTTCG support 
and then
     point me to the MTTCG specific changes so I can include them in my 
tree?
I will add Paolo's linux-user and signal free qemu_cpu_kick series as well.

About tb_flush we think to do that without exiting:
   - Use two buffers for tbs.
   - Use a per tb invalidated flag.
   - when tb_flush just invalidate all tb from the buffer and swap to 
the second buffer:
     VCPU which are executing code will discard their tb_jmp_cache when 
they exit
     (eg: run_on_cpu).

We need also to fix emulated data barrier so tlb_flush are finished 
before the
instruction is executed. (That might be only data barrier breaks the TB).

Protecting page->code_bitmap and cpu_breakpoint_insert changes will be 
squashed in the tb_lock patch.

More tests must be done especially with gdbstub and icount.

Do that make sense?
Fred
