34 // mechanism, which is: find next basic block, execute it, repeat until
35 // the next bb isn't found in the fast-cache; or if the current bb
36 // exited with a request for some special action before continuing; or
37 // if the current thread has used up its scheduling quantum.

43 /* Run translations, with the given guest state, and starting by
44 running the host code at 'host_addr'. It is almost always the case
45 that host_addr is the translation for guest_state.guest_IP, that
46 is, host_addr is what it would be if we looked up the address of
47 the translation corresponding to guest_state.guest_IP.
49 The only case where this isn't true is where we're running a
50 no-redir translation. In this case host_addr is the address of the
51 alternative (non-redirected) translation for guest_state.guest_IP.
53 The return value must indicate why it returned back to the scheduler.
54 It can also be exited if the executing code throws a non-resumable
55 signal, for example SIGSEGV, in which case control longjmp()s back past
56 here.
58 two_words holds the return values (two words). First is
59 a TRC value. Second is generally unused, except in the case
60 where we have to return a chain-me request.
