Re: [Qemu-ppc] [Qemu-devel] Bad icount read when running qemu-system-ppc64 and mfspr atbu guest instruction

[Darrell Leinwand]

Ah I see, that makes sense and the atb instructions are marked as unused in the 
mainline which when I compared I recall now that we modifed them because the 
guest software we are running is trying to use those special registers. 

I added the wrappers into those function, is that correct?

Thanks for the help.

    Yep, it looks like there are some bugs in the ppc front end wrt icount.
    
    In target/ppc/translate_init.c, spr_read_tbu has the proper wrappers for
    integrating with icount, but a few lines lower spr_read_atbl and 
spr_read_atbu
    do not.
    
    This will probably have to wait until the 2.13 cycle to fix...

    You really should strip this from your signature when posting to a public
