Subject: [RFC PATCH] target/arm: drop CF_LAST_IO/dc->condjump check
Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2021 16:49:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210416154908.21673-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)

This is a left over erroneous check from the days front-ends handled
io start/end themselves. Regardless just because IO could be performed
on the last instruction doesn't obligate the front end to do so.

This fixes an abort faced by the aspeed execute-in-place support which
will necessarily trigger this state (even before the one-shot
CF_LAST_IO fix). The test still seems to hang once it attempts to boot
the Linux kernel but I suspect this is an unrelated issue with icount
and the timer handling code.
