2013-10-10tcg: Add qemu_ld_st_i32/64Richard Henderson
Step two in the transition, adding the new ldst opcodes. Keep the old opcodes around until all backends support the new opcodes. Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net>
2013-03-22Use proper term in TCG README陳韋任 (Wei-Ren Chen)
In TCG, "target" means the host architecture for which TCG generates the code. Using "guest" rather than "target" to make the document more consistent.

2012-10-28tcg: rework TCG helper flagsAurelien Jarno
The current helper flags, TCG_CALL_CONST and TCG_CALL_PURE might be confusing and doesn't provide enough granularity for some helpers (FP helpers for example). This patch changes them into the following helpers flags: - TCG_CALL_NO_READ_GLOBALS means that the helper does not read globals, either directly or via an exception. They will not be saved to their canonical location before calling the helper. - TCG_CALL_NO_WRITE_GLOBALS means that the helper does not modify any globals. They will only be saved to their canonical locations before calling helpers, but they won't be reloaded afterwise. - TCG_CALL_NO_SIDE_EFFECTS means that the call to the function is removed if the return value is not used. It provides convenience flags, to avoid helper definitions longer than 80 characters. It also provides compatibility flags, and updates the documentation.

2012-10-28tcg: forbid ld/st function to modify globalsAurelien Jarno
Mapping a memory address using a global and accessing it through ld/st operations is currently broken. As it doesn't make any sense to do that performance wise, let's forbid that. Update the TCG documentation, and remove partial support for that. Reviewed-by: Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net> Signed-off-by: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net>
2012-10-06tcg: remove obsolete jmp opAurelien Jarno
The TCG jmp operation doesn't really make sense in the QEMU context, it is unused, it is not implemented by some targets, and it is wrongly implemented by some others. This patch simply removes it.

2010-03-26tcg: Disambiguate qemu_ld32u with 32-bit and 64-bit outputs.Richard Henderson
Some targets (e.g. Alpha and MIPS64) need to keep 32-bit operands sign-extended in 64-bit registers (regardless of the "real" sign of the operand). For that, we need to be able to distinguish between a 32-bit load with a 32-bit result and a 32-bit load with a given extension to a 64-bit result. This distinction already exists for the ld* loads, but not the qemu_ld* loads. Reserve qemu_ld32u for 64-bit outputs and introduce qemu_ld32 for 32-bit outputs. Adjust all code generators to match.
