Dear Peter Maydell, Thanks for your reply. Would you mind give me more help?
My PC architecture is x86, so the tcg_out_qemu_ld() and tcg_out_qemu_st() is in tcg/i386/tcg-target.c. Nevertheless, it is difficult for me to understand them completely. Do you means that the QEMU TLB maps the guest virtual address to host virtual address, and the begging and end virtual addresses of the memory allocated for RAM device emulating are the RAM physical begging and end address from guest view? If so, it seems hard to monitor the guest physical memory. However, [exec.c:qemu_get_ram_ptr] seems to get a host virtual address from a guest physical address. It confuses me. Would you mind explain more details about QEMU TLB? Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks much!
