[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] [sh4] patches for SH4 system emulation

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/5] [sh4] patches for SH4 system emulation

[Shin-ichiro KAWASAKI]

Hello all,

To improve SH4 system emulation, I'm sending five patches which implement some
MMU featrues, bug fixes, and sleep instruction.
With these patches, simple '/init' scripts can be executed after Linux kernel boot.
I saw BusyBox ash's prompt is printed, though I cannot input key types because
serial controler's implementation is not enough.

The kernel and command line I used to check is available here.
http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/qemu-sh4/BuildingEnvironment

I hope these patches will help and merged in trunk.
Any comments will be welcome.

Regards,
Shin-ichiro KAWASAKI

I cannot comment on your patches, but maybe you can comment on (or test)
the tas.b issue of qemu's sh4 emulation

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/27235

specifically the last proposed solution

All patches of the series committed, thanks.

By the way, do you have any plan to convert the SH4 target to TCG? It is
one of the few missing targets.

Andrzej's two patches are both seem to be consistent with tas.b
specification.
To make it sure, I've taken out a function, __pthread_spin_trylock(), 
from glibc's linuxthreads/sysdeps/sh/pspinlock.c, as the test code for
tas.b.  I confirmed that current QEMU implementation fails
this test, and whichever of the two patches makes it pass the test. 

In my opinion, the first patch is the better, because it is smaller and
easier to understand.  I add the patch to the end of this mail again,
which is modified to avoid patch failure.
FYI, I add the test code, too.

=== test code starts here ===

#include <stdio.h>

typedef volatile int pthread_spinlock_t;
#define EBUSY 16

int
__pthread_spin_trylock (pthread_spinlock_t *lock)
{
  unsigned int val;

  asm volatile ("tas.b @%1; movt %0"
		: "=r" (val)
		: "r" (lock)
		: "memory");
  return val ? 0 : EBUSY;
}

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
  pthread_spinlock_t lock = 0;

  printf("test #1 : ");
  printf(" %s.\n", __pthread_spin_trylock(&lock) ? "NG" : "ok");
  
  printf("test #2 : ");
  printf(" %s.\n", __pthread_spin_trylock(&lock) ? "ok" : "NG");
}

Thanks a lot!

Yes.  I've just started working to eliminate target-sh4/op.c.

Thanks, applied.
