This series proposes a generic (target-agnostic) instruction translation framework.
It basically provides a generic main loop for instruction disassembly, which calls target-specific functions when necessary. This generalization makes inserting new code in the main loop easier, and helps in keeping all targets in synch as to the contents of it. This series also paves the way towards adding events to trace guest code execution (BBLs and instructions). I've ported i386/x86-64 and arm/aarch64 as an example to see how it fits in the current organization, but will port the rest when this series gets merged. Signed-off-by: Lluís Vilanova <vilan...@ac.upc.edu> --- Changes in v4 ============= * Document new macro QTAILQ_FOREACH_CONTINUE [Peter Maydell]. * Fix coding style errors reported by checkpatch. * Remove use of "restrict" in added functions; it makes older gcc versions barf about compilation errors. Changes in v3 ============= * Rebase on 0737f32daf. Changes in v2 ============= * Port ARM and AARCH64 targets. * Fold single-stepping checks into "max_insns" [Richard Henderson]. * Move instruction start marks to target code [Richard Henderson]. * Add target hook for TB start. * Check for TCG temporary leaks. * Move instruction disassembly into a target hook. * Make breakpoint_hit() return an enum to accomodate target's needs (ARM).
