[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] cpu-exec: Exit exclusive region on longjmp from step_atomic

[Peter Maydell]

Commit ac03ee5331612e44be narrowed the scope of the exclusive
region so it only covers when we're executing the TB, not when
we're generating it. However it missed that there is more than
one execution path out of cpu_tb_exec -- if the atomic insn
causes an exception then the code will longjmp out, skipping
the code to end the exclusive region. This causes QEMU to hang
the next time the CPU calls start_exclusive(), waiting for
itself to exit the region.

Move the "end the region" code out to the end of the
function so that it is run for both normal exit and also
for exit-via-longjmp. We have to use a volatile bool flag
to decide whether we need to end the region, because we
can longjump out of the codegen as well as the execution.

(For some reason this only reproduces for me with a clang
optimized build, not a gcc debug build.)

Changes v1->v2: use a flag so we get the "longjump out of the
codegen" case right.
