When OS/2 Warp configures its segment descriptors, many of them are configured with
the P flag clear to allow for a fault-on-demand implementation. In the case where
the stack value is POPped into the segment registers, the SP is incremented before
calling gen_helper_load_seg() to validate the segment descriptor:
IN:
0xffef2c0c: 66 07 popl %es
OP:
ld_i32 loc9,env,$0xfffffffffffffff8
sub_i32 loc9,loc9,$0x1
brcond_i32 loc9,$0x0,lt,$L0
st16_i32 loc9,env,$0xfffffffffffffff8
st8_i32 $0x1,env,$0xfffffffffffffffc

add_i64 rip,rip,$0x2
ext16u_i64 rip,rip
exit_tb $0x0
set_label $L0
exit_tb $0x7fff58000043
If helper_load_seg() generates a fault when validating the segment descriptor then as
the SP has already been incremented, the topmost word of the stack is overwritten by
the arguments pushed onto the stack by the CPU before taking the fault handler. As a
consequence things rapidly go wrong upon return from the fault handler due to the
corrupted stack.
Update the logic for the existing writeback condition so that a POP into the segment
registers also calls helper_load_seg() first before incrementing the SP, so that if a
fault occurs the SP remains unaltered.
