I encountered cases before where the vCPUs continue executing while
plugin_exit is called. This can happen e.g., when QEMU calls exit(3)
from one CPU thread. Others will continue to run at the same time the
atexit callbacks are called.

This also means that you can't really free the resources as you do at
the end of plugin_exit.

Interesting...

The current documentation [1] mentions it's the right place to free 
resources, and from what I saw, existing plugins assume this too (see 
contrib/plugins/cache.c for instance).

There is probably a bug related to the case you mention, and I'll try to 
reproduce this, and see if we can have a proper fix.

I'm not sure that removing cleanup code from existing plugins is the 
right thing to do at the moment, even though there is an existing issue 
with some programs.

Yes absolutely. The problem is on the QEMU side. FWIW I tried to fix one
of those exit cases (semihosted exit syscall) some time ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20220621125916.25257-1-lmichel@kalray.eu/

IIRC Peter was not fundamentally against it. But then I was off for
several months due to medical reasons.

I can take some time to rebase it and address Peter's comments if there
is interest to it.

The plugin exit handler should flush all instrumented code:

  /*
   * Handle exit from linux-user. Unlike the normal atexit() mechanism
   * we need to handle the clean-up manually as it's possible threads
   * are still running. We need to remove all callbacks from code
   * generation, flush the current translations and then we can safely
   * trigger the exit callbacks.
   */

  void qemu_plugin_user_exit(void)
  {
      enum qemu_plugin_event ev;
      CPUState *cpu;

      /*
       * Locking order: we must acquire locks in an order that is consistent
       * with the one in fork_start(). That is:
       * - start_exclusive(), which acquires qemu_cpu_list_lock,
       *   must be called before acquiring plugin.lock.
       * - tb_flush(), which acquires mmap_lock(), must be called
       *   while plugin.lock is not held.
       */
      start_exclusive();

      qemu_rec_mutex_lock(&plugin.lock);
      /* un-register all callbacks except the final AT_EXIT one */
      for (ev = 0; ev < QEMU_PLUGIN_EV_MAX; ev++) {
          if (ev != QEMU_PLUGIN_EV_ATEXIT) {
              struct qemu_plugin_cb *cb, *next;

              QLIST_FOREACH_SAFE_RCU(cb, &plugin.cb_lists[ev], entry, next) {
                  plugin_unregister_cb__locked(cb->ctx, ev);
              }
          }
      }
      CPU_FOREACH(cpu) {
          qemu_plugin_disable_mem_helpers(cpu);
      }
      qemu_rec_mutex_unlock(&plugin.lock);

      tb_flush(current_cpu);
      end_exclusive();

      /* now it's safe to handle the exit case */
      qemu_plugin_atexit_cb();
  }

So you shouldn't see any other instrumentation activity after the
end_exclusive. However you may see another thread hit its exist handler
before we complete exiting the system.

OK I was not aware of this. Anyway I encountered those issue a long time
ago. It's probably not relevant anymore.
