[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v9 12/25] tcg: handle EXCP_ATOMIC exception for system emulation

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

From: Pranith Kumar <bobby.prani@gmail.com>

The patch enables handling atomic code in the guest. This should be
preferably done in cpu_handle_exception(), but the current assumptions
regarding when we can execute atomic sections cause a deadlock.
