Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] tcg: fix TLB miss check in get_page_addr_code()
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2018 17:21:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180629162122.19376-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)
In commit 71b9a45330fe220d1 we changed the condition we use to
determine whether we need to refill the TLB in get_page_addr_code() to
if (unlikely(env->tlb_table[mmu_idx][index].addr_code !=
(addr & (TARGET_PAGE_MASK | TLB_INVALID_MASK)))) {
This isn't the right check (it will falsely fail if the
input addr happens to have the low bit corresponding to
TLB_INVALID_MASK set, for instance).
This patchset first factors out the "check for a hit" logic
into some new functions tlb_hit() and tlb_hit_page() (the
latter is for when the address is known to be page-aligned),
uses those functions in the various places that do TLB hit tests,
and then uses tlb_hit() to replace the erroneous code in
get_page_addr_code().
I noticed this while trying to debug Laurent's m68k test case:
it meant that we would come into get_page_addr_code() for a
TLB hit, falsely decide it was a miss, and then fish an
older entry out of the TLB victim cache...
