2021-06-19tcg/tci: Change encoding to uint32_t unitsRichard Henderson
This removes all of the problems with unaligned accesses to the bytecode stream. With an 8-bit opcode at the bottom, we have 24 bits remaining, which are generally split into 6 4-bit slots. This fits well with the maximum length opcodes, e.g. INDEX_op_add2_i32, which have 6 register operands. We have, in previous patches, rearranged things such that there are no operations with a label which have more than one other operand. Which leaves us with a 20-bit field in which to encode a label, giving us a maximum TB size of 512k -- easily large. Change the INDEX_op_tci_movi_{i32,i64} opcodes to tci_mov[il]. The former puts the immediate in the upper 20 bits of the insn, like we do for the label displacement. The later uses a label to reference an entry in the constant pool. Thus, in the worst case we still have a single memory reference for any constant, but now the constants are out-of-line of the bytecode and can be shared between different moves saving space. Change INDEX_op_call to use a label to reference a pair of pointers in the constant pool. This removes the only slightly dodgy link with the layout of struct TCGHelperInfo. The re-encode cannot be done in pieces.

2020-08-21meson: rename included C source files to .c.incPaolo Bonzini
With Makefiles that have automatically generated dependencies, you generated includes are set as dependencies of the Makefile, so that they are built before everything else and they are available when first building the .c files. Alternatively you can use a fine-grained dependency, e.g. target/arm/translate.o: target/arm/decode-neon-shared.inc.c With Meson you have only one choice and it is a third option, namely "build at the beginning of the corresponding target"; the way you express it is to list the includes in the sources of that target. The problem is that Meson decides if something is a source vs. a generated include by looking at the extension: '.c', '.cc', '.m', '.C' are sources, while everything else is considered an include---including '.inc.c'. Use '.c.inc' to avoid this, as it is consistent with our other convention of using '.rst.inc' for included reStructuredText files. The editorconfig file is adjusted.

2016-09-15Remove remainders of HPPA backendThomas Huth
The HPPA backend has been removed by the following commit: 802b5081233a6b643a8b135a5facaf14bafaa77d tcg-hppa: Remove tcg backend But some small pieces of the HPPA backend still survived until today. Since we also do not have support for a HPPA target in QEMU, we can nowadays safely remove the remaining HPPA parts (like the disassembler code, or the detection of HPPA in the configure script).

2016-02-23tcg: Rename tcg-target.c to tcg-target.inc.cPeter Maydell
Rename the per-architecture tcg-target.c files to tcg-target.inc.c. This makes it clearer that they are not intended to be standalone C files, but are instead #included into another source file.

2013-02-26qemu-log: default to stderr for logging outputPeter Maydell
Switch the default for qemu_log logging output from "/tmp/qemu.log" to stderr. This is an incompatible change in some sense, but logging is mostly used for debugging purposes so it shouldn't affect production use. The previous behaviour can be obtained by adding "-D /tmp/qemu.log" to the command line. This change requires us to: * update all the documentation/help text (we take the opportunity to smooth out minor inconsistencies between the phrasing in linux-user/bsd-user/system help messages) * make linux-user and bsd-user defer to qemu-log for the default logging destination rather than overriding it themselves * ensure that all logfile closing is done via qemu_log_close() and that that function doesn't close stderr as well as the obvious change to the behaviour of do_qemu_set_log() when no logfile name has been specified.

2011-10-31tcg: Add bytecode generator for tcg interpreterStefan Weil
Unlike other tcg target code generators, this one does not generate machine code for some cpu. It generates machine independent bytecode which is interpreted later. This allows running QEMU on any host. Interpreted bytecode is slower than direct execution of generated machine code. Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de>
