[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Implement YIELD to yield in ARM and Thumb trans


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Implement YIELD to yield in ARM and Thumb translators
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 19:49:48 +0100

This patchset makes the ARM and Thumb encodings of the YIELD hint
instruction in the ARM cause the TCG CPU to yield control back
to the top level loop. This brings them into line with the A64
encoding which already did this.

Patch 1 splits out DISAS_YIELD from DISAS_WFE, because although
we currently implement them both the same way they're semantically
different, and in future we might well make WFE do something
else. (In particular when I was reviewing Greg's patches that
proposed enabling trap-to-EL2-on-WFE I didn't notice that we
would also have ended up trapping on YIELD !)
