[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-4.0 0/5] tcg/i386: Improve guest_base handling

[Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>]

This tidies guest_base handling such that (1) we require no scratch
registers, (2) we require no extra instructions besides the memory op,
and (3) we reduce the size of the memory op by omitting a prefix.

In principal point 3 is offset by adding additional opcodes to handle
zero-extension when converting 64-bit guest values back to 32-bit guest
addresses.  But those turn out to be hen's teeth, since 32-bit guests
often have no way of even producing 64-bit guest values.

In particular, I saw none in a simple pass through linux-user-test-0.3
for i386, arm, sh4, sparc.
