[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] AMD64 host cpu support

[Gwenole Beauchesne]

Hi,

Since the patch is a bit big, it will be available here in a few moments:
<http://cvs.mandrakesoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/contrib-SPECS/qemu/>

Here are noteworthy changes:

* Translation cache must be mapped executable region. On AMD64 with newer 
kernels, allocated pages in 64-bit processes are now R/W only, and not 
executable. This is also true on other modern arches. I am probably 
proceeding in an ugglish way but the idea is there.

* I imported newer i386-dis.c from gdb sources which knows about AMD64 
instruction set. This has not been extensively tested beyond a simple run 
for a hello/sha1 test program.

Bye,
Gwenole.
