Subject: [Qemu-devel] Performance bug in tcg/i386 output:
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2009 09:47:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f784f5260911080947s732fa25bj1251778a7d91447f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 417 bytes --]

Running qemu[-i386] with -d out_asm and looking at qemu.out shows this
test/j**/jmp pattern repeatedly:

0xb1aa40f6:  test   %ecx,%ecx
0xb1aa40f8:  jne    0xb1aa4115
0xb1aa40fe:  jmp    0xb1aa4103
0xb1aa4103:  mov    $0xc0bf,%eax

Therefore there's a bug in the tcg generator creating many unnecessary
jmps.  It might get optimized out by the CPU, but it might not and it bloats
the asm output in any case...
