[Qemu-devel] singlestep and sparc32

[Artyom Tarasenko]

is -single-step option supposed to work under qemu-system-sparc? Or is
it only for non-pipelined CPUs?

I get pretty strange results: some addresses seem to be executed
twice, and then qemu hangs on the last nop:

--------------

0x00000000:  b  0xb788
--------------
IN:
0x00000004:  rd  %psr, %l0
--------------

... skipped ...

0x7000a594:  b  0x7000a570
--------------

0x7000a590:  nop

^^^^^^^^^^^ That's the end

Without -singlestep it seems to work better:


0x7000a588:  deccc  %l2
0x7000a58c:  bg  0x7000a588
0x7000a590:  nop

--------------
IN:
0x7000a594:  b  0x7000a570
0x7000a598:  inc  %l4

--------------
IN:
0x7000a570:  lduba  [ %l4 ] #ASI_M_KERNELTXT, %l1
0x7000a574:  cmp  %l1, 0xff
0x7000a578:  be  0x7000a59c
... and so on ...
