Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/1] tcg: Always pass the full write size to notdirty_write()
Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2023 15:56:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230807141846.786530-2-iii@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230807141846.786530-1-iii@linux.ibm.com>
One of notdirty_write()'s responsibilities is detecting self-modifying
code. Some functions pass the full size of a write to it, some pass 1.
When a write to a code section begins before a TB start, but then
overlaps the TB, the paths that pass 1 don't flush a TB and don't
return to the translator loop.
This may be masked, one example being HELPER(vstl). There,
probe_write_access() ultimately calls notdirty_write() with a size of
1 and misses self-modifying code. However, cpu_stq_be_data_ra()
ultimately calls mmu_watch_or_dirty(), which in turn calls
notdirty_write() with the full size.
It's still worth improving this, because there may still be
user-visible adverse effects in other helpers.
