[Qemu-devel] [RCF PATCH 0/8] aarch64 migration fixes and psr cleanup

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

Hi,

This started with a hack-patch Peter had written to get migration
working for aarch64 system images. It was noted that cpu.h was
starting to proliferate program state functions. This series attempts
to fix that by:

  - creating a "universal" save/restore_to/from_spsr function
  - using that for migration purposes
  - removing existing use of cpsr/pstate_read/write functions
  - fixing some places to manipulate integer flags directly

Hanging questions:

  - should xpsr_read/write get merged or left as it's own special
    snowflake?
  - should env->uncached_cpsr and env->pstate be totally hidden behind
    access functions so other flags can get split (i.e. env->el_mode?)

I've tested this with ARMv7 and ARMv8 with aarch32 user-space system
images. I've not given it a good linux-user test yet so I'm less sure
about the sigcontext manipulation code.

Comments?

Cheers,
