Subject: [PULL 20/28] tcg/plugins: implement a qemu_plugin_user_exit helper
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2021 18:03:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210723170354.18975-21-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210723170354.18975-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>

In user-mode emulation there is a small race between preexit_cleanup
and exit_group() which means we may end up calling instrumented
instructions before the kernel reaps child threads. To solve this we
implement a new helper which ensures the callbacks are flushed along
with any translations before we let the host do it's a thing.

While we are at it make the documentation of
qemu_plugin_register_atexit_cb clearer as to what the user can expect.
