[Qemu-devel] [PATCH, MIPS] Code translation improvement

[Aurelien Jarno]

Hi,

The patch below makes a few improvement to the code translation, and fixes
a small bug:

- The check for the bit ERL in CP0 Status register implies that the CPU
  is in kernel mode, so there is no need to further check for user mode.

- Checking for the bit UM in CP0 Status register is not enough to detect
  the user mode, the patch below changes that to a check for 
  MIPS_HFLAG_UM in hflags.

- Currently checking if CP0 is accessible, ie either the CPU is in kernel
  mode or the bit CU0 in CP0 Status register enabled, is done in the
  translated code. The patch below moves the check for user mode at 
  translation time to improve a bit the execution time. It also saves a 
  call to save_cpu_state() if the CPU is in kernel mode. A few CP0
  instructions then needs to explicitely save the cpu state, as they
  are modifying hflags.

Cheers,
Aurelien
