[for-2.6 PATCH 0/3] target-i386: Use C struct for xsave area layout, offsets & sizes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



target-i386/cpu.c:ext_save_area uses magic numbers for the xsave
area offets and sizes, and target-i386/kvm.c:kvm_{put,get}_xsave()
uses offset macros and bit manipulation to access the xsave area.
This series changes both to use C structs for the same
operations.

I still need to figure out a way to write unit tests for the new
code. Maybe I will just copy and paste the new and old functions,
and test them locally (checking if they give the same results
when translating blobs of random bytes).

Eduardo Habkost (3):
  target-i386: Define structs for layout of xsave area
  target-i386: Use xsave structs for ext_save_area
  target-i386: kvm: Use X86XSaveArea struct for xsave save/load
