There's a comment above this list of defines that documents
what all the flags mean; can you add an entry to it for the
new flag?

This will work, but it's a little odd because it breaks the
existing invariant that cp helpers never throw exceptions
(except in the access function).

Does single-stepping (of the emulated architectural
debug step, and gdbstub singlestep) work across one of
these instructions?

Should we also set dc->is_jmp to force ending the TB here?

This is probably a question answered in the rest of the series,
but why do we need the helper to be able to longjump out to the
top level? Can't we just have the helper do its work and then
end the TB with tcg_gen_exit_tb(0) so we return to the top level
loop in the normal way?

Sure - given your comment bellow maybe AP_CP_SYNC_REGS is a better name?

We don't throw an exception but we do exit the CPU loop which has work
waiting for it.

I'll have to test but I don't see why not. The instruction is fully
executed we just ensure we have exited the run loop to process the flush
before we get to the next instruction/

Probably - there is no reason to keep translating as the next
instruction will be in its own block.

Well I guess this is a philosophical question. The cputlb API is
offering the guarantee that when an *_all_cpus_synced() flush is done
everything will be complete with respect to all vCPUS. This is reliant
on the source vCPU executing an exclusive safe work which ensures all
other vCPUs have halted and therefor will have run their safe work
before returning to execution.

If ARM wanted to it could call the *_all_cpus() variant, schedule its
own exclusive safe work (a null function - as cputlb will have scheduled
the flush) and exit the TB in the usual way. In fact this is the
mechanism ARM could use if it wanted to defer the sync point to a later
DMB instruction.

I haven't implemented it yet as the flush stuff only comes up high in
the perf runs with my aggressive TLB flush microbenchmarks.

However I'm wary of having a _synched() variant which will only work
correctly if the guest also does a bunch of other steps.

Do we? This isn't an exception so we don't need to resolve the condition
flags as long as there is enough information preserved so the next TB
can resolve if it needs to.

I'm afraid my knowledge of the condition code is "it is deferred until
it is needed as it is an expensive calculation". I'll dig into the
implementation.

The reason I ask is that the single-stepping code path involves
doing some work at the tail end of the translate:

    if (unlikely(cs->singlestep_enabled || dc->ss_active)
        && dc->is_jmp != DISAS_EXC) {
        /* do some stuff */
    }

The other things that jump out of the normal code flow are:
 * exceptions (where we don't want to do finished-the-step
   work anyway as the insn hasn't executed)
 * SWI (hopefully we single step SWI right but maybe not)
 * YIELD, WFE (which are special cased so that they do the
   actual work only at the end of the gen_intermediate_code
   function and only if not single-stepping, so they're
   no-ops on singlestep)

You've introduced a new item to this list which isn't
handled by the singlestep code.

Well, with the implementation as it is you need to do a bunch
of extra steps to handle all the corner cases (condexec,
single stepping) that would be handled for you if you exited
the TB in the normal way rather than longjumping out of it...
IME longjumping out should be reserved for "we don't want to
continue executing whatever other generated code we have after
this" situations. Here we know definitely what we're going to
want to do, so it would be better to generate code that
arranged to leave the TB in the usual way.

Your longjump is effectively skipping the normal "end of the TB" code,
which is what usually does the set_condexec for you. At the end of a
TB the expectation is that everything's been sync'd back to the CPU
state structure.

OK I can certainly see the logic in exiting the "clean" way. I guess it
really depends on how the other guests are going to handle the case. It
would be nice if there was some mechanism by which the cputlb code could
be sure whatever has just called a synched function really is going to
exit the loop.

Paolo, Richard,

Any ideas? Do the other guests have similar mechanisms?

This would mean removing the QEMU_NORETURN from the *_synched functions
(but keeping their scheduling of the safe work) and documenting the
guest translations should be exiting their TBs after this instruction.

Hmm so as long as the tlb flush helpers don't set ARM_CP_SUPPRESS_TB_END
things should just work normally? Is shouldn't matter if the TB with the
flush is chained to a new TB as the exit_request test should fire before
any more state changing operations happen?

If they're register writes, yes -- we end the TB on writes but not
on reads (on the assumption that only writes might modify state that
requires a TB end). If the TLB instructions are reads then we can
add a "force TB end" flag.

> Is shouldn't matter if the TB with the

I think so, but again if you know that you're always going to exit
the TB then there's no point setting it up so it might chain.

So setting s->is_jmp = DISAS_JUMP ensures that?
