Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a system for on-demand binary translation state map generation. Instead of interpreting the native code to be executed, binary translation circuitry (BT circuitry) may execute a binary translation (BT) in place of the native code. When a stop occurs (e.g., due to an interrupt, a modification of the native code, etc.), the BT circuitry may generate a binary translation state map (BT state map) that allows the location of the stop to be mapped back to the native code. Generation of the BT state map may involve determining a location and offset for the stop, performing region formation based on the location, loading instructions from the region (e.g., while accounting for the need to emulate instructions), forming the BT state map based at least on the size of the loaded instructions, and then mapping the stop back to the native code utilizing the offset.
