[PATCH 07/18] target/i386: introduce flags writeback mechanism
Posted by Paolo Bonzini 1 year, 1 month ago
ALU instructions can write to both memory and flags.  If the CC_SRC*
and CC_DST locations have been written already when a memory access
causes a fault, the value in CC_SRC* and CC_DST might be interpreted
with the wrong CC_OP (the one that is in effect before the instruction.

Besides just using the wrong result for the flags, something like
subtracting -1 can have disastrous effects if the current CC_OP is
CC_OP_EFLAGS: this is because QEMU does not expect bits outside the ALU
flags to be set in CC_SRC, and env->eflags can end up set to all-ones.
In the case of the attached testcase, this sets IOPL to 3 and would
cause an assertion failure if SUB is moved to the new decoder.

This mechanism is not really needed for BMI instructions, which can
only write to a register, but put it to use anyway for cleanliness.

You must delay the set_cc_op() until the end too, for the same reason.  The function call 
will emit discard opcodes, which will kill cc_foo while still live via the memory exception.

the memory exception.

Right, that can affect previous instructions due to dead code elimination.
I even wrote part of that code. :)

Since I have to add decode->cc_op, I'll add CC_OP_DYNAMIC handling as well,
and
assert that everything is NULL if the gen_* function didn't touch
decode->cc_op.

Thanks!
