[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/14] tcg: Improve sparc register windows

[Richard Henderson]

This is a two year old patch set that I revived just before the 2.5 cutoff;
I decided against re-posting it then, but now that 2.6 development is open,
I think it's time to try again.

The Idea is to let TCG know that the 24 windowed registers are accessed
via a different base register than TCG_AREG0.  Moreover, the base register
by which they are accessed is itself loaded via TCG_AREG0.  A simple bit
of recursion in the tcg register allocation functions that allows this
to happen.

We were able to do some benchmarking with this patch set during the
summer and fall; it's somewhere on the mailing list if you want to go
looking.
