Hello qemu developers!
I´m using QEMU for some ARM debugging and I have som questions regardning the
CPSR register. I get the feeling that the CPSR condition code bits,
representing the results from the ALU, are not maintained at all points. Is the
JIT in QEMU tailored in any way towards GCC output? (Resulting in issues with
the output of other compilers that make use of the conditional execution of
instructions etc.)
What I want to do is to try to verify QEMU maintains the CPSR register and if
not fix it. However, it is not trivial identify where the updates should be
placed. The relationship between translate.c and op.c is not trival I must say
:)
I would be happy I anyone here could give me some
pointers on how the updates of the CPSR register is done today and what the
strategy is. I guess there are plenty of performance ideas here as in the rest
of qemu.
Does anyone have any reflection on this topic or can anyone give me some
pointers?
