[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] target-s390x: fix and optimize slb* and slbg* computation of carry/borrow flag

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

From: Torbjorn Granlund <torbjorng@google.com>

This patch fixes the bug with borrow_in being set incorrectly, but it
also simplifies the logic to be much more plain, improving speed.  It
fixes both the 32-bit SLB* and 64-bit SLBG*.

The SLBG* change has been well-tested.  I haven't tested the SLB* change
explicitly, but the code was copy-pasted from the tested code.

The error of these functions' current implementations would not likely
be triggered by compiler-generated code, since the only error was in the
state of the carry/borrow flag.  Compilers rarely generate an
instruction sequence such as carry-set -> carry-set-and-use ->
carry-use.

(With Paolo's fix and mine, there are still a couple of failures from
GMP's testsuite, but they are almost surely due to incorrect code
generation from gcc 4.9.  But since this gcc is running under qemu, it
might be qemu bugs.  I intend to investigate this.)
