[Qemu-devel] ioport: qemu-system-sparc64 currently broken

[Mark Cave-Ayland <mark.cave-ayland@ilande.co.uk>]

Hi Jan/Paolo,

I've just updated my local QEMU repository to git master for OpenBIOS 
testing and it seems that the ioport changes break SPARC64. git bisect 
points to this commit:

     ioport: Switch dispatching to memory core layer

     The current ioport dispatcher is a complex beast, mostly due to the
     need to deal with old portio interface users. But we can overcome it
     without converting all portio users by embedding the required base
     address of a MemoryRegionPortio access into that data structure. That
     removes the need to have the additional MemoryRegionIORange structure
     in the loop on every access.

     To handle old portio memory ops, we simply install dispatching handlers
     for portio memory regions when registering them with the memory core.
     This removes the need for the old_portio field.

     We can drop the additional aliasing of ioport regions and also the
     special address space listener. cpu_in and cpu_out now simply call
     address_space_read/write. And we can concentrate portio handling in a
     single source file.

I suspect that there may be multiple breakages here (as HEAD blows up 
differently with a trap failure), but this is definitely the start of 
the chain.

Reproducing the bug is easy - simply run qemu-system-sparc64 without any 
parameters.


Many thanks,

Mark.
