[Qemu-devel] A question about QEMU performance

2006-09-26 Thread Alessandro Corradi
Hi all,This is my question:If I run qemu for i386 without kqemu it uses soft-mmu, so it operates as another architetture as ppc or mips right?So... are the performace of qemu the same if I use i386 or mips or something change deeply?
Example: if I run the same program on i386 emulation without kqemu or on mips are the performance circa the same?ThanksAle

Would you expect qemu to perform the same on an AMD 4600X2 as
a 400 Mhz MIPS?

It's probably all relative to the speed of the cpu, host OS, compiler 
optimizations and trans cpu data transforms, as to how well the 
emulated  system performs.

[Qemu-devel] qemu arm eabi (armel)

2006-09-26 Thread K. Richard Pixley
Does anyone have qemu running in user emulation with arm eabi, (armel), 
traps?


I can get qemu-system booting an armel system.  And I can get qemu-user 
running with the codesourcery gcc-3 eabi libc's, (ie, the ones with the 
codesourcery kernel call shims), but I haven't gotten it working yet 
with eabi kernel calls in user mode.


Should this be expected to work in 0.8.2?

I am hunting some strange asserts failures in ld.so, but it is mostly
working. It is a maemo 2.0 rootstrap that I am using.

Best Regards,

EABI works fine, however NPTL does not.

Ok, then I'm confused because I'm seeing dumps just trying to run a null 
program.  Unless there's NPTL setup stuff in crt0, I can't guess what 
might be going on yet.  This same null binary runs on a qemu-system with 
suitable rootfs  kernel.

The glibc startup code contains TLS initialisation that will fail on unpatched 
qemu. If you have applied the TLS patch there are a couple of other things 
that could cause problems:

- Make sure it's picking up the correct target shared libraries (or link your 
test application statically).
- Try configuring qemu with --static. The default (building qemu as a shared 
library) seems to cause strange problems on many systems.
- Make sure uname -r reports at least 2.6.16 (qemu can lie for you).

   Use the qemu monitor to change the disc in qemu's emulated cdrom
drive.  ie:

Access the qemu monitor (ctrl-alt-2).

(qemu) eject cdrom
(qemu) change cdrom //./d:

D is the drive letter associated with the physical cdrom.  If it is an
iso then use the full filename of the iso.  The user docs are at
http://www.qemu.org.
