Also don't forget the parallel_cpus changes which were made for enhanced atomic support. There was also work in fixing up exclusive_start/end which is used for safe work like tb_flush. > I almost feel like the existing code should be purged, except that it > gives a good history (and this seems lazy to me). > > As a first pass, I guess, I'd like to at least make i386 user run on > x86_64. What would you folks like to see in a first pass? One thing that bugs me about linux-user is the amount of copy&paste repetition that goes on for the main run loop. Perhaps with a clean-up of the unused BSD architectures we could explore how a re-factored run loop could look with a view to moving to common run-loop code across both? Apart from syscall mapping and backend calls to the BSD ABI what differences are there between the two user-mode implementations? > > sean > > ref: https://github.com/seanbruno/qemu-bsd-user/tree/bsd-user -- Alex Bennée
