Hi, all:

I've been trying to understand the pro= cess of binary translation inside TCG.

= If I haven't misunderstood, qemu_ld/st are the operations that will call=20 helper function(ld_mmu) to let softmmu translate the GVA->GPA for the guest load/store instructions.

So there are some points that I hope you c= an help me out:

1. Is every guest load/store instruction would be translate= d to qemu_ld/st IR?

2. What about another TCG IR "ld/st"? What kind of gue= st instructions would cause TCG generates that IRs and for what purpose?

Any reply would be helpful to me. Thanks in advance.
