Subject: [PATCH] arm/translate-a64: treat DISAS_UPDATE as variant of
 DISAS_EXIT
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In OE project 4.15 linux kernel boot hang was observed under
single cpu aarch64 qemu. Kernel code was in a loop waiting for
vtimer arrival, spinning in TC generated blocks, while interrupt
was pending unprocessed. This happened because when qemu tried to
handle vtimer interrupt target had interrupts disabled, as
result flag indicating TCG exit, cpu->icount_decr.u16.high,
was cleared but arm_cpu_exec_interrupt function did not call
arm_cpu_do_interrupt to process interrupt. Later when target
reenabled interrupts, it happened without exit into main loop, so
following code that waited for result of interrupt execution
run in infinite loop.

To solve the problem instructions that operate on CPU sys state
(i.e enable/disable interrupt), and marked as DISAS_UPDATE,
should be considered as DISAS_EXIT variant, and should be
forced to exit back to main loop so qemu will have a chance
processing pending CPU state updates, including pending
interrupts.

This change brings consistency with how DISAS_UPDATE is treated
in aarch32 case.
