Re: [Qemu-devel] Qemu code copy

[Piotras]

Hi!

Code copy works by executing original code blocks (no translation 
is performed) when possible. If the block contains memory access 
instruction, it can be executed in code-copy mode only when virtual 
memory of emulated CPU is visible as qemu process virtual memory. 
This is what qemu-fast does with mmap.

I think that in practice nearly all code blocks contain memory access 
instructions. If so, it's not worth to enable code-copy for qemu-soft.

Probably it's possible to build simple code translator that would 
translate only memory access instructions and execute most of 
the other instructions natively.
