[Qemu-devel] NPTL support in qemu-i386?

[Paul Mackerras]

Is anyone working on adding support for the set/get_thread_area system
calls in qemu for the i386-user target?  NPTL will need that, and I
guess the futex system call too.

In linux-user/syscall.c, it seems like the target doing a clone system
call with CLONE_VM results in the emulator doing a clone().  Does this
mean that there are then multiple threads sharing the one translation
cache?  What sort of locking is used on it?

Thanks,
Paul.
