[Qemu-devel] qemu user x86 working?

2011-02-11 Thread Andi Kleen
Hi, Is the linux-user qemu for x86-64/i386 supposed to work? For example running it with a simple hello world on FC14 in gdb: /home/ak/tsrc/hello: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped [Thread debugging

I don't have any problems running a statically linked x86_64 helloworld program in an i386 chroot. Dynamically linked programs try to use wrong libraries, but at least running /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 directly works. static binary segfaults too. I wonder if it's some setup on my system. I

Don't declare XSAVE as supported i386 cpuid.c currently claims XSAVE is supported in the CPUID filter, but that's not true: Only FXSAVE is supported. Remove that bit from the filter. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen a...@linux.intel.com diff --git a/target-i386/cpuid.c b/target-i386/cpuid.c index

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Add more boundary checking to sse3/4 parsing

2010-06-26 Thread Andi Kleen
Add more boundary checking to sse3/4 parsing s?sse3 uses tables with only two entries per op, but it is indexed with b1 which can contain variables upto 3. This happens when ssse3 or sse4 are used with REP* prefixes. Add boundary checking for this case. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

I think it also improves branch target prediction - if you have a tight loop of a few opcodes the predictor can guess where you're headed (since there is a separate lookup key for each opcode), whereas with the original code, there's a single key which cannot be used to predict the branch

You generally want CSE, yes? So you can't blame gcc for getting it wrong sometimes. There are cases where CSE pessimizes the code, .e.g when it increases memory pressure too much or caches something that is easier recomputed. This is just another one. BTW I checked again and the problem
