While you're at it, I think that should rather be leXX_to_cpu()
instead
of bswapXX() here,
I don't think that's correct, as this is supposed to swap BE
registers
to LE PCI bars.
Yes, but for the CPU emulation, the registers are stored in the
host's
endianness in the CPUS390XState structure. Or why do we
byte-swap them
again with cpu_to_be64() during s390_store_status(), for example?
Gah, endian conversion is eating my brain...
So, is the content we get BE or not? I thought in our last
discussion
we came to the conclusion that it is.
data is read from / written to env->regs[r1], so this is host
endian, as
far as I know. PCI is little endian, so using le32_to_cpu() /
cpu_to_le32() should IMHO be the right way to go here.
By the way, if we want to use both, cpu_to_le and le_to_cpu,
depending
on whether we read from or write to PCI, we should maybe *not* put
this
code into a separate function?
Yes, if your assessment is correct, we need two functions (I think
this
conversion is used in other places in later patches as well). Or are
there mechanisms for that already available?
I have a question, is the data in cpu->regs the guest's endianess?
As far as I know, it's host endianness, so on x86 with TCG emulation,
it's little endian.
In our case, the guest is S390. Although the arch is big-endian, the
data in
pcilg/stg instructions is little-endian.
PCI memory is always little endian, right.
Another question, does 'cpu' in cpu_to_le**() or le**_to_cpu() mean the
host endianess?
Yes, the "cpu" in cpu_to_le or le_to_cpu means the host, indeed. It's
confusing :-/
If the answers to upper two questions are yes, we actually need handle
two cases.
1) For pcilg, we need to translate the data to little-endian, thus
cpu_to_le**().
2) For pcistg, we need to translate the data to host endianess, thus
le**_to_cpu().
I think we've got to byte-swap if the host is big endian (s390x), but
not if the host is little endian (x86 with TCG).
Here is my comprehension of this funny swapping:
- TCG for a BE guest and a le host swap bytes because if we do (register
& 0x01) in the zPCI interception code it must work what ever the
endianess is.
Uhhh, I might have missed that the value has already been byte-swapped
once by TCG for env->regs[r1] ...
Now I'm pretty much completely confused ... sorry for the noise if I was
wrong... I think it's best you ignore my comment for now (i.e. go with
bswapXX() instead of le_to_cpuXX()), and if we later wire up zPCI with
TCG, we still can fix this if necessary.

OK, thanks.
