Calculate the BHRB base from arithmetic on the tcg_env target ptr.

Hi Glenn,

I think I have to squash this into the BHRB series. 32-bit host
compile shows up a size mismatch warning... I think it's not quite
right to be using host pointer directly in target code. The change
of offset and mask to 32-bit is needed due to to seemingly missing
tl->ptr conversion helpers, but 32-bit is okay for those anyway.

Thanks,
Nick

There's nothing inherently wrong with it (depending on what the
pointer is pointing to!), but you need to use the right type.
target_ulong and the _tl suffix are for the type which
depends on the size of the target's 'long'. The TCG type which is
"size of a host pointer" is TCG_TYPE_PTR, and you want the _ptr
suffix functions and to pass it around with TCGv_ptr.

thanks

This requires a version bump.

Better to add the constant with the store offset.

   tcg_gen_ext_i32_ptr(ptr, offset);
   tcg_gen_add_ptr(ptr, ptr, tcg_env);
   tcg_gen_st_i64(value, ptr, offsetof(bhrb));

In this case the first patch hasn't gone upstream yet.

Good suggestion thanks. Maybe in light of the fact I was wrong
about not using host pointer here, the original approach is
better and just needs a smaller fix for 32-bit hosts.

Thanks,
Nick

Ah okay, thanks for the correction.

In that case, original approach may be better with small fixes
for 32-bit host.

Peter/Nick, thanks for looking into this.  I'll work on submitting
a v4 of the original BHRB series adding Peter's suggestions (and
probably a rebase) as soon as I have a chance.  Unfortunately, I have
some higher priority items to work on at the moment, so it could take
a week or two before I can get to it.

Thanks,
Glenn
