[PATCH for-6.1 2/2] accel/tcg: Remove unnecessary check on icount_extra


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [PATCH for-6.1 2/2] accel/tcg: Remove unnecessary check on icount_extra in cpu_loop_exec_tb()
Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2021 18:44:05 +0100

In cpu_loop_exec_tb(), we decide whether to look for a TB with
exactly insns_left instructions in it using the condition
 (!cpu->icount_extra && insns_left > 0 && insns_left < tb->icount)

The check for icount_extra == 0 is unnecessary, because we just set
  insns_left = MIN(0xffff, cpu->icount_budget);
  icount_extra = icount_budget - insns_left;
and so icount_extra can only be non-zero if icount_budget > 0xffff
and insns_left == 0xffff. But in that case insns_left >= tb->icount
because 0xffff is much larger than TCG_MAX_INSNS, so the condition
will be false anyway.

Remove the unnecessary check, and instead assert:
 * that we are only going to execute a partial TB here if the
   icount budget has run out (ie icount_extra == 0)
 * that the number of insns we're going to execute does fit into
   the CF_COUNT_MASK

You could argue that we don't need the asserts, if you like.
The first one would have caught the bug fixed in the previous
commit, though.
