QEMU internally has multiple families of functions for performing
|
|
|
|
loads and stores. This document attempts to enumerate them all
|
|
|
|
and indicate when to use them. It does not provide detailed
|
|
|
|
documentation of each API -- for that you should look at the
|
|
|
|
documentation comments in the relevant header files.

``ld*_p and st*_p``
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These functions operate on a host pointer, and should be used
|
|
|
|
when you already have a pointer into host memory (corresponding
|
|
|
|
to guest ram or a local buffer). They deal with doing accesses
|
|
|
|
with the desired endianness and with correctly handling
|
|
|
|
potentially unaligned pointer values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Function names follow the pattern:
|
|
|
|

|

|

|
|
|
- ``be`` : big endian
|
|
|
|
- ``le`` : little endian
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``_{endian}`` infix is omitted for target-endian accesses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The target endian accessors are only available to source
|
|
|
|
files which are built per-target.

There are also functions which take the size as an argument:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
load: ``ldn{endian}_p(ptr, sz)``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which performs an unsigned load of ``sz`` bytes from ``ptr``
|
|
|
|
as an ``{endian}`` order value and returns it in a uint64_t.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
store: ``stn{endian}_p(ptr, sz, val)``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which stores ``val`` to ``ptr`` as an ``{endian}`` order value
|
|
|
|
of size ``sz`` bytes.

``cpu_{ld,st}*_mmu``

|
|
These functions operate on a guest virtual address, plus a context
|
|
|
|
known as a "mmu index" which controls how that virtual address is
|
|
|
|
translated, plus a ``MemOp`` which contains alignment requirements
|
|
|
|
among other things. The ``MemOp`` and mmu index are combined into
|
|
|
|
a single argument of type ``MemOpIdx``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The meaning of the indexes are target specific, but specifying a
|
|
|
|
particular index might be necessary if, for instance, the helper
|
|
|
|
requires a "always as non-privileged" access rather than the
|
|
|
|
default access for the current state of the guest CPU.
|
2019-12-10 06:10:04 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These functions may cause a guest CPU exception to be taken
|
|
|
|
(e.g. for an alignment fault or MMU fault) which will result in
|
|
|
|
guest CPU state being updated and control longjmp'ing out of the
|
|
|
|
function call. They should therefore only be used in code that is
|
|
|
|
implementing emulation of the guest CPU.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``retaddr`` parameter is used to control unwinding of the
|
|
|
|
guest CPU state in case of a guest CPU exception. This is passed
|
|
|
|
to ``cpu_restore_state()``. Therefore the value should either be 0,
|
|
|
|
to indicate that the guest CPU state is already synchronized, or
|
|
|
|
the result of ``GETPC()`` from the top level ``HELPER(foo)``
|
2020-10-15 11:51:47 +02:00
|
|
|
function, which is a return address into the generated code [#gpc]_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. [#gpc] Note that ``GETPC()`` should be used with great care: calling
|
|
|
|
it in other functions that are *not* the top level
|
|
|
|
``HELPER(foo)`` will cause unexpected behavior. Instead, the
|
|
|
|
value of ``GETPC()`` should be read from the helper and passed
|
|
|
|
if needed to the functions that the helper calls.

These functions work like the ``cpu_{ld,st}_mmu`` functions except

that the ``mmuidx`` parameter is not combined with a ``MemOp``,

and therefore there is no required alignment supplied or enforced.

virtual address from helper functions, unless the access should

be performed with a context other than the default, or alignment

These functions work like the ``cpu_{ld,st}_data_ra`` functions

unwind guest CPU state.

This means they must only be used from helper functions where the

translator has saved all necessary CPU state. These functions are

|
the right choice for calls made from hooks like the CPU ``do_interrupt``

hook or when you know for certain that the translator had to save all

the CPU state anyway.

These functions perform a read for instruction execution. The ``mmuidx``
|
|
|
|
parameter is taken from the current mode of the guest CPU, as determined
|
|
|
|
by ``cpu_mmu_index(env, true)``. The ``retaddr`` parameter is 0, and
|
|
|
|
thus does not unwind guest CPU state, because CPU state is always
|
|
|
|
synchronized while translating instructions. Any guest CPU exception
|
|
|
|
that is raised will indicate an instruction execution fault rather than
|
|
|
|
a data read fault.

|
These functions are intended primarily to be called by the code
|
|
|
|
generated by the TCG backend. They may also be called by target
|
2019-12-10 06:10:04 +01:00
|
|
|
CPU helper function code. Like the ``cpu_{ld,st}_mmuidx_ra`` functions
|
|
|
|
they perform accesses by guest virtual address, with a given ``mmuidx``.

|
|
|
|
2019-12-10 06:10:04 +01:00
|
|
|
These functions specify an ``opindex`` parameter which encodes
|
|
|
|
(among other things) the mmu index to use for the access. This parameter
|
|
|
|
should be created by calling ``make_memop_idx()``.
|
2017-10-12 14:59:41 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``retaddr`` parameter should be the result of GETPC() called directly
|
|
|
|
from the top level HELPER(foo) function (or 0 if no guest CPU state
|
|
|
|
unwinding is required).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**TODO** The names of these functions are a bit odd for historical
|
|
|
|
reasons because they were originally expected to be called only from
|
2019-12-10 06:10:04 +01:00
|
|
|
within generated code. We should rename them to bring them more in
|
|
|
|
line with the other memory access functions. The explicit endianness
|
|
|
|
is the only feature they have beyond ``*_mmuidx_ra``.

|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These functions are the primary ones to use when emulating CPU
|
|
|
|
or device memory accesses. They take an AddressSpace, which is the
|
|
|
|
way QEMU defines the view of memory that a device or CPU has.
|
|
|
|
(They generally correspond to being the "master" end of a hardware bus
|
|
|
|
or bus fabric.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each CPU has an AddressSpace. Some kinds of CPU have more than
|
2020-03-09 22:58:18 +01:00
|
|
|
one AddressSpace (for instance Arm guest CPUs have an AddressSpace
|
2017-10-12 14:59:41 +02:00
|
|
|
for the Secure world and one for NonSecure if they implement TrustZone).
|
|
|
|
Devices which can do DMA-type operations should generally have an
|
|
|
|
AddressSpace. There is also a "system address space" which typically
|
|
|
|
has all the devices and memory that all CPUs can see. (Some older
|
|
|
|
device models use the "system address space" rather than properly
|
|
|
|
modelling that they have an AddressSpace of their own.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Functions are provided for doing byte-buffer reads and writes,
|
|
|
|
and also for doing one-data-item loads and stores.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In all cases the caller provides a MemTxAttrs to specify bus
|
|
|
|
transaction attributes, and can check whether the memory transaction
|
|
|
|
succeeded using a MemTxResult return code.

``address_space_write_rom``
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function performs a write by physical address like
|
|
|
|
``address_space_write``, except that if the write is to a ROM then
|
|
|
|
the ROM contents will be modified, even though a write by the guest
|
|
|
|
CPU to the ROM would be ignored. This is used for non-guest writes
|
|
|
|
like writes from the gdb debug stub or initial loading of ROM contents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that portions of the write which attempt to write data to a
|
|
|
|
device will be silently ignored -- only real RAM and ROM will
|
|
|
|
be written to.

``{ld,st}*_phys``

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|

These are functions which are identical to

``address_space_{ld,st}*``, except that they always pass

``MEMTXATTRS_UNSPECIFIED`` for the transaction attributes, and ignore
|
|
|
|
whether the transaction succeeded or failed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fact that they ignore whether the transaction succeeded means
|
|
|
|
they should not be used in new code, unless you know for certain
|
|
|
|
that your code will only be used in a context where the CPU or
|

device doing the access has no way to report such an error.

``cpu_physical_memory_*``
|

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|

|

|

These are convenience functions which are identical to
|
|
|
|
``address_space_*`` but operate specifically on the system address space,
|
|
|
|
always pass a ``MEMTXATTRS_UNSPECIFIED`` set of memory attributes and
|
|
|
|
ignore whether the memory transaction succeeded or failed.
|
|
|
|
For new code they are better avoided:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* there is likely to be behaviour you need to model correctly for a
|
|
|
|
failed read or write operation
|
|
|

rather than using the system address space

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|

|
|
|
|
Access CPU memory by virtual address for debug purposes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function is intended for use by the GDB stub and similar code.
|
|
|
|
It takes a virtual address, converts it to a physical address via
|
|
|
|
an MMU lookup using the current settings of the specified CPU,
|
|
|
|
and then performs the access (using ``address_space_rw`` for
|
|
|
|
reads or ``cpu_physical_memory_write_rom`` for writes).
|
|
|
|
This means that if the access is a write to a ROM then this
|
|
|
|
function will modify the contents (whereas a normal guest CPU access
|
|
|
|
would ignore the write attempt).
