[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.12] tcg/mips: Handle large offsets from target env to tlb_table
Posted by Peter Maydell 6 years ago
The MIPS TCG target makes the assumption that the offset from the
target env pointer to the tlb_table is less than about 64K. This
used to be true, but gradual addition of features to the Arm
target means that it's no longer true there. This results in
the build-time assertion failing:

An ideal long term approach would be to rearrange the CPU state
so that the tlb_table was not so far along it, but this is tricky
because it would move it from the "not cleared on CPU reset" part
of the struct to the "cleared on CPU reset" part. As a simple fix
for the 2.12 release, make the MIPS TCG target handle an arbitrary
offset by emitting more add instructions. This will mean an extra
instruction in the fastpath for TCG loads and stores for the
affected guests (currently just aarch64-softmmu).

This is sufficient that on MIPS host we can now at least build
and run an aarch64 guest kernel. I haven't tried 'make check'
because the only MIPS system I have access to is way too slow...

Yes, I asked for help on this from the MIPS folks back in January when I posted
patches for ppc and arm(32) hosts.  And then of course forgot about it in the
interim.

This is a pretty darned good solution, really.  I should have thought of it
myself at the time.  The new AArch64 offset is about 80k, so there will be two
adds emitted.  Loading C<<16 into a temp register and then adding would be no
better in the end (one can only add C<<16 directly with mipsr6 extensions).

Is that really a problem? Doesn't it mean we'll just reload the TLB
after a reset?

It was the sort of "this subtly changes the semantics on all
hosts for the sake of an issue that's mips-hosts-only" change
that I didn't want to try to reason through and make very close
to release when we didn't have a lot of time to test the results...
