[Qemu-devel] Thread local TCGContext.

[Frederic Konrad]

Hi,

I wondering how we can have one TCGContext per thread cleanly.

We should be able to do this:

diff --git a/tcg/tcg.h b/tcg/tcg.h
index baf053a..8d488dc 100644
--- a/tcg/tcg.h
+++ b/tcg/tcg.h
@@ -533,7 +533,7 @@ struct TCGContext {
     struct TCGBackendData *be;
 };

-extern TCGContext tcg_ctx;
+extern __thread TCGContext tcg_ctx;
 extern TBContext tb_ctx;

 /* pool based memory allocation */
diff --git a/translate-all.c b/translate-all.c
index a986d61..69c6b83 100644
--- a/translate-all.c
+++ b/translate-all.c

 static void *l1_map[V_L1_SIZE];

 /* code generation context */
-TCGContext tcg_ctx;
+__thread TCGContext tcg_ctx;

But the big problem is the initialisation, it's done only onetime in the 
iothread with
the accelerator..

(gdb) bt

Any idea how to deal with this cleanly?

Thanks,
Fred
