2021-10-13accel/tcg: Add cpu_{ld,st}*_mmu interfacesRichard Henderson
These functions are much closer to the softmmu helper functions, in that they take the complete MemOpIdx, and from that they may enforce required alignment. The previous cpu_ldst.h functions did not have alignment info, and so did not enforce it. Retain this by adding MO_UNALN to the MemOp that we create in calling the new functions. Note that we are not yet enforcing alignment for user-only, but we now have the information with which to do so.

2021-02-15bswap.h: Remove unused float-access functionsPeter Maydell
The float-access functions stfl_*, stfq*, ldfl* and ldfq* are now unused; remove them. (Accesses to float64 and float32 types can be made with the ldl/stl/ldq/stq functions, as float64 and float32 are guaranteed to be typedefs for normal integer types.)

2020-10-20loads-stores.rst: add footnote that clarifies GETPC usageEmanuele Giuseppe Esposito
Current documentation is not too clear on the GETPC usage. In particular, when used outside the top level helper function it causes unexpected behavior.

2020-05-11accel/tcg: Add endian-specific cpu_{ld, st}* operationsRichard Henderson
We currently have target-endian versions of these operations, but no easy way to force a specific endianness. This can be helpful if the target has endian-specific operations, or a mode that swaps endianness.

2020-03-12docs: Be consistent about capitalization of 'Arm'Peter Maydell
The company 'Arm' went through a rebranding some years back involving a recapitalization from 'ARM' to 'Arm'. As a result our documentation is a bit inconsistent between the two forms. It's not worth trying to update everywhere in QEMU, but it's easy enough to make docs/ consistent. Note that "ARMv8" and similar architecture names, and older CPU names like "ARM926" still retain all-caps.

2020-01-15cputlb: Rename helper_ret_ld*_cmmu to cpu_ld*_codeRichard Henderson
There are no uses of the *_cmmu names other than the bare wrapping within the *_code inlines. Therefore rename the functions so we can drop the inlines. Use abi_ptr instead of target_ulong in preparation for user-only; the two types are identical for softmmu.

2018-12-14Rename cpu_physical_memory_write_rom() to address_space_write_rom()Peter Maydell
The API of cpu_physical_memory_write_rom() is odd, because it takes an AddressSpace, unlike all the other cpu_physical_memory_* access functions. Rename it to address_space_write_rom(), and bring its API into line with address_space_write().

2018-06-15bswap: Add new stn_*_p() and ldn_*_p() memory access functionsPeter Maydell
There's a common pattern in QEMU where a function needs to perform a data load or store of an N byte integer in a particular endianness. At the moment this is handled by doing a switch() on the size and calling the appropriate ld*_p or st*_p function for each size. Provide a new family of functions ldn_*_p() and stn_*_p() which take the size as an argument and do the switch() themselves.
