  • Make the ELF loader aware of backwards compatibility ...
    7f70c937 
    Most 64 bit architectures I'm aware of support running 32 bit code
of the same architecture as well.

So x86_64 can run i386 code easily and ppc64 can run ppc code.

Unfortunately, the current checks are pretty strict. So you can only
load e.g. an x86_64 elf binary on qemu-system-x86_64, but no i386 one.

This can get really annoying. I first encountered this issue with
my multiboot patch, where qemu-system-x86_64 was unable to load an
i386 elf binary because the elf loader rejected it.

The same thing happened again on PPC64 now. The firmware we're loading
is a PPC32 elf binary, as it's shared with PPC32. But the platform is
PPC64.

Right now there is a hack for this in the ppc cpu.h definition, that
simply sets the type to PPC32 in system emulation mode. While that
works fine for the firmware, it's no good if you also want to load a
PPC64 kernel with -kernel.

So in order to solve this mess, I figured the easiest way is to make
the elf loader aware of platforms that are backwards compatible. For
now I was only sure that x86_64 does i386 and ppc64 does ppc32, but
maybe there are other combinations too.

This patch is a prerequisite for having a working -kernel option on
PPC64.

  • Add and use remaining #defines for PCI device IDs (Stuart Brady) ...
    a770dc7e 
    This patch adds and uses #defines for the remaining hardcoded PCI
device IDs.  It also moves definitions taken from linux/pci_ids.h
into a separate header (hw/pci_ids.h), removes the 'RTL' from
PCI_DEVICE_ID_REALTEK_RTL8029, and renames PCI_DEVICE_ID_FSL_E500
to PCI_DEVICE_ID_MPC8533E to match Linux's definition.

Changes in v2:
 * Don't use C99-style comments
 * Move definitions from linux/pci_ids.h into a separate header
 * Rename PCI_DEVICE_ID_FSL_E500 to PCI_DEVICE_ID_MPC8533E

  • remove is_graphic_console from vga.c (Stefano Stabellini) ...
    b8c18e4c 
    Hi all,
since vga_draw_graphic is only called by vga_hw_update when the console
associated with the graphic card is active, we don't need to check if
the current console is active using is_graphic_console.

I suspect I introduced these checks when the console switching mechanism
didn't work as it does now.

  • DisplayAllocator interface (Stefano Stabellini) ...
    7b5d76da 
    Hi all,
this patch adds a DisplayAllocator interface that allows display
frontends (sdl in particular) to provide a preallocated display buffer
for the graphical backend to use.

Whenever a graphical backend cannot use
qemu_create_displaysurface_from because its own internal pixel format
cannot be exported directly (text mode or graphical mode with color
depth 8 or 24), it creates another display buffer in memory using
qemu_create_displaysurface and does the conversion.
This new buffer needs to be blitted into the sdl surface buffer every time
we need to update portions of the screen.
We can avoid this using the DisplayAllocator interace: sdl provides its
own implementation of qemu_create_displaysurface, giving back the sdl
surface buffer directly (as we used to do before the DisplayState
changes).
Since the buffer returned by sdl could be in bgr format we need to put
back in the handlers of that case.

This approach is good if the two following conditions are true:

1) the sdl surface is a software surface that resides in main memory;

2) the host display color depth is either 16 or 32 bpp.

If first condition is false we can have bad performances using sdl
and vnc together.
If the second condition is false performances are certainly not going to
improve but they shouldn't get worse either.

The first condition is always true, at least on linux/X11 systems; but I
believe is true also on other platforms.
The second condition is true in the vast majority of the cases.

This patch should also have the good side effect of solving the sdl
2D slowness malc was reporting on MacOS, because SDL_BlitSurface is not
going to be called anymore when the guest is in text mode or 24bpp.
However the root problem is still present so I suspect we may
still see some slowness on MacOS when the guest is in 32 or 16 bpp.
