Is this the right fix? I assume effective_addr stores an address of the 
guest, so if the guest is 64-bit and the host is 32-bit, you now lose the 
upper bits of the address...?

The casting for qemu_plugin_insn_vaddr is not required at all since it 
already returns an uint64_t, so you can remoe that one. For the haddr part, 
maybe do a double-cast:

   effective_addr = (uint64_t)(uintptr_t)qemu_plugin_insn_haddr(insn)

?

I think the problem is higher up, it was a mistake to have:

  void *qemu_plugin_insn_haddr(const struct qemu_plugin_insn *insn);

return *void, at least vaddr returns an explicit 64 bit value which can
hold everything (at a slight expense to 32bit emulation hosts, but
seriously stop doing that we've been in the 64bit world for some time
now).

It's an open question I had. When executing 64 bits binaries on a 32 
bits host, are we emulating the full 64 bits address space, or do we 
restrict to 32 bits? For user mode, I don't see how it could be possible 
to have address space beyond the 32 bits range, but system mode is 
probably different.

The real proper fix is to not encode directly value under udata for 
callbacks, but allocate this and pass a pointer instead.

No, not a bug.  This is a host addr, right there in the name.
Returning uint64_t would be a bug.

After trying to boot an x64 system on 32 bits host, I can confirm the 
address returned by qemu_plugin_tb_vaddr is effectively on 64 bits 
(using upper 32 bits).

Thus, I'll respin this series with a correct fix instead of the bad 
casts I used.

No it's:

 * Returns: hardware (physical) target address of instruction

I was kinda assuming that was what the underlying host_addr[] fields in
DisasContextDB are. Are we just saying its QEMU's vaddr of where the
guest physical address is mapped into QEMU?

Yes - and having to jump through a few extra hoops to do it.

For user-modes very simple base + addr calculation yes it is tricky and
we often fail to find a gap big enough to map the guest address space
into it. If we implement softmmu for linux-user we could get around this
difficulty for a cost.

DisasContextBase::host_addr[] are host (virtual) addresses,
i.e. pointers you can dereference in C code in QEMU.
The comment in qemu_plugin_insn_haddr() says:

     * ??? The return value is not intended for use of host memory,
     * but as a proxy for address space and physical address.

This seems pretty QEMU-implementation-internal to me and
not something we should be allowing to escape into the
plugin API. What, per the comment, we ought to be exposing is
the (address space, guest physaddr) tuple, which we
presumably don't conveniently have to hand here.

It's QEMU's host address of where the guest physical address is mapped.
That's why is says host_addr, and has pointer type.
