[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] Add support for MSA instructions on a big endian host

[Mateja Marjanovic]

From: Mateja Marjanovic <address@hidden>

Add support for MSA instructions while executing QEMU on a
machine that uses big endian MIPS CPU. Also change the
implementation of helpers for MSA instructions
ST.<B|H|W|D>, LD.<B|H|W|D>, INSERT.<B|H|W> (and D on MIPS64),
COPY_S.<B|H|W> (and D on MIPS64) and COPY_U.<B|H> (and W
on MIPS64). Instead of using a switch in a helper, which is
called many times, put a switch in translate.c file, which
is called only a few times.

v3:
 - Unroll loops in ST.<B|H|W|D> and LD.<B|H|W|D>
   instructions.
 - Eliminate macro that generates the helpers for
   the ST.<B|H|W|D> and LD.<B|H|W|D> instructions,
   and add four helpers for each (for byte,
   halfword, word and doubleword).
 - Eliminate the helpers for INSERT.<B|H|W|D>,
   COPY_S.<B|H|W|D> and COPY_U.<B|H|W> and add
   four (three in case of COPY_U) helpers for
   each one.
