If TLB miss, it will call something like __ldb_mmu (b). __ldb_mmu will try to walk guest page table, then fill TLB entry if page table hit, or raise a guest page fault exception if page table miss. Yep. that is what i was taught. the sequence of code above is an inlined assembly

it seems qemu has an inlined sequence to walk the tlb. if that fails, it does a call out. tcg_out_tlb_load(s, addrlo_idx, mem_index, s_bits, args, label_ptr, offsetof(CPUTLBEntry, addr_write)); /* TLB Hit. */ tcg_out_qemu_st_direct(s, data_reg, data_reg2,
