[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] target-mips: Add support for misaligned acce


From: Yongbok Kim
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/2] target-mips: Add support for misaligned accesses
Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 16:37:35 +0100

This patch set adds support for misaligned memory accesses in MIPS architecture
Release 6 and MIPS SIMD Architecture.

The behaviour, semantics, and architecture specifications of misaligned memory
accesses are described in:
MIPS Architecture For Programmers Volume I-A: Introduction to the MIPS64
Architecture, Appendix B Misaligned Memory Accesses.
Available at http://www.imgtec.com/mips/architectures/mips64.asp

Regards,
Yongbok

v3:
* Rewrote MSA patch
* Work-around is using byte-to-byte accesses and endianness corrections for 
  R5+MSA. (This replaces the misaligned flag from v2.) (Leon)
* Bug fixes (Leon)
* Separate helper functions for each data formats

v2:
* Removed re-translation in the mips_cpu_do_unaligned_access() (Peter)
* Checks validity only if an access is spanning into two pages in MSA (Leon)
* Introduced misaligned flag to indicate MSA ld/st is ongoing, is used to
  allow misaligned accesses in the mips_cpu_do_unaligned_access() callback.
  This is crucial to support MSA misaligned accesses in Release 5 cores.
