Re: [Qemu-devel] About address mapping between host and guest in QEMU

Hi Peter,
Does the equation which is mentioned in http://vm-kernel.org/blog/2009/07/10/qemu-internal-part-2-softmmu/ means something?
host_virtual_address = phys_ram_base(qemu variable) + guest_physical_address – guest_physical_address_base(0 in MIPS)
Currently I have the guest physical address and phys_ram_base, can I use the equation  to get the host virtual address?

In fact I am using Marss which is based on QEMU, and in Marss the guest physical address is provided.

This is neat. How do you see the relationship with upstream? Will you ever
upgrade QEMU versions?

Have you seen Pavel Dovgalyuk's upstream work on deterministic replay to
enable reverse execution? Does it differ fundamentally from PANDA record and
replay?

It looks like you're running K-means on your QEMU traces. I happen to be doing
that too. Do you happen to have any code examples of that included in PANDA or
other open source projects?

Thanks,
Chris
