QOM CPUState exists, former CPUState is renamed to CPUArchState.
QOM CPUState exists, former CPUState is renamed to CPUArchState. All targets have been converted for v1.1-rc0.


Individual targets have been converted, some are pending review, other conversions are being simplified.
Initial field movements from CPUArchState to CPUState and subsequent signature adaptations are on the list.


Field movements from CPUArchState to CPUState (and subsequent removal of CPUArchState and CPU_COMMON) are waiting on completion of conversion of all targets.
TLB redesign is still open - suggestions welcome.

Summary

Convert CPUState to QOM.

Motivation

  1. Short-term: Allow inspecting and modifying CPU properties via QOM.
  2. Short-term: Avoid common target code doing ifs or switches on CPU identifiers.
    • target-arm/helper.c: cpu_reset_model_id()
  3. Short-term: Replace CPU_COMMON macro and duplicated reset code by inheritance.
  4. Mid-term: Avoid dependency of common code on #defines from cpu.h.
  5. Mid-term: Ease instantiation of mixed software-visible cores within one target, e.g.
    • NXP LPC43xx: Cortex-M4 + Cortex-M0
    • ARM big.LITTLE: Cortex-A15 + Cortex-A7
    • Freescale Vybrid VF6xx/VF7xx: Cortex-A5 + Cortex-M4
    • TI OMAP5: Cortex-A15 + Cortex-M4
  6. Long-term: Work towards allowing to compile multiple targets into one executable.
    • Renesas R-Car H1, M1A: ARM Cortex-A9 + SH-4A
    • Renesas R-Home S1: ARM Cortex-A9 + SH-4A + ARM7TDMI-S
    • Renesas R-Mobile A1: ARM Cortex-A9 + SH4A

"CPU" name conflict

Identifier current interim final
struct CPU$archState or
struct CPUState_$arch
defined in target-*/cpu.h ???
#define CPUState alias to CPU$archState / CPUState_$arch dropped in favor of CPU
struct CPUClass class
#define CPU_CLASS(class) cast macro for class
struct CPU object
#define CPU(obj) cast macro for object
#define CPU_GET_CLASS(obj) macro to obtain class pointer

Resolved by renaming existing CPUState to CPUArchState and by using struct CPUState for the object state, while using CPU(obj) as macro for casting.

Status

QOM CPUState exists, former CPUState is renamed to CPUArchState. All targets have been converted for v1.1-rc0.

Initial field movements from CPUArchState to CPUState and subsequent signature adaptations are on the list.

TLB redesign is still open - suggestions welcome.
