Subject: [PULL 1/2] target/arm: Fix assert on BRA.
Date: Mon,  1 Dec 2025 16:09:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251201160943.1342099-2-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251201160943.1342099-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org>

From: Harald van Dijk <hdijk@accesssoftek.com>

trans_BRA does

    gen_a64_set_pc(s, dst);
    set_btype_for_br(s, a->rn);

gen_a64_set_pc does

    s->pc_save = -1;

set_btype_for_br (if aa64_bti is enabled and the register is not x16 or
x17) does

    gen_pc_plus_diff(s, pc, 0);

gen_pc_plus_diff does

    assert(s->pc_save != -1);

Hence, this assert is getting hit. We need to call set_btype_for_br
before gen_a64_set_pc, and there is nothing in set_btype_for_br that
depends on gen_a64_set_pc having already been called, so this commit
simply swaps the calls.

(The commit message for 64678fc45d8f6 says that set_brtype_for_br()
must be "moved after" get_a64_set_pc(), but this is a mistake in
the commit message -- the actual changes in that commit move
set_brtype_for_br() *before* get_a64_set_pc() and this is necessary
to avoid the assert.)
