Commit 2afbdf8 ("target-i386: exception handling for memory helpers",
2015-09-15) changed tlb_fill's cpu_restore_state+raise_exception_err
to raise_exception_err_ra. After this change, the cpu_restore_state
and raise_exception_err's cpu_loop_exit are merged into
raise_exception_err_ra's cpu_loop_exit_restore.
This actually fixed some bugs, but when SVM is enabled there is a
second path from raise_exception_err_ra to cpu_loop_exit. This is
the VMEXIT path, and now cpu_vmexit is called without a
cpu_restore_state before.
The fix is to pass the retaddr to cpu_vmexit (via
cpu_svm_check_intercept_param). All helpers can now use GETPC() to pass
the correct retaddr, too.
Backports commit 823fb688ebc52a7d79c1308acb28c92b56820167 from qemu
In user-mode emulation env->idt.base memory is
allocated in linux-user/main.c with
size 8*512 = 4096 (for 64-bit).
When fake interrupt EXCP_SYSCALL is thrown
do_interrupt_user checks destination privilege level
for this fake exception, and tries to read 4 bytes
at address base + (256 * 2^4)=4096, that causes
segfault.
Privlege level was checked only for int's, so lets
read dpl from memory only for this case.
Backports commit 885b7c44e4f8b7a012a92770a0dba8b238662caa from qemu
Add a comment to do_interrupt_user() along the same lines as the
existing one for do_interrupt_all() noting that the next_eip
argument is not used unless is_int is true or intno is EXCP_SYSCALL.
Backports commit 33271823323483b4ede1ae99de83d33b25875402 from qemu
exec-all.h contains TCG-specific definitions. It is not needed outside
TCG-specific files such as translate.c, exec.c or *helper.c.
One generic function had snuck into include/exec/exec-all.h; move it to
include/qom/cpu.h.
Backports commit 63c915526d6a54a95919ebece83fa9ca631b2508 from qemu
Use gen_lea_v_seg for centralized segment base knowledge. Unify
code across 32- and 64-bit. Fix note about "must save state"
before using the out-of-line helpers.
Backports commit 743e398e2fbf2f7183bf7a53c9d011fabcaa1770 from qemu
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.
This commit was created with scripts/clean-includes.
Backports commit b6a0aa053711e27e1a7825c1fca662beb05bee6f from qemu
This moves the last of the iteration over breakpoints into
the bpt_helper.c file. This also allows us to make several
breakpoint functions static.
Backports commit 93d00d0fbe4711061834730fb70525d167b6f908 from qemu
These include page table walks, SVM accesses and SMM state save accesses.
The bulk of the patch is obtained with
sed -i 's/\(\<[a-z_]*_phys\(_notdirty\)\?\>(cs\)->as,/x86_\1,/'
Backports commit b216aa6c0fcbaa8ff4128969c14594896a5485a4 from qemu
According to my reading of the Intel documentation, the SYSRET instruction
is supposed to force the RPL bits of the %ss register to 3 when returning
to user mode. The actual sequence is:
SS.Selector <-- (IA32_STAR[63:48]+8) OR 3; (* RPL forced to 3 *)
However, the code in helper_sysret() leaves them at 0 (in other words, the "OR
3" part of the above sequence is missing). It does set the privilege level
bits of %cs correctly though.
This has caused me trouble with some of my VxWorks development: code that runs
okay on real hardware will crash on QEMU, unless I apply the patch below.
Backports commit ac57622985220de064059971f9ccb00905e9bd04 from qemu
helper_sysenter in qemu/target-i386/seg_helper.c didn't check properly if a call interrupt callback was registred.
It has been fixed by copying the helper_syscall behavior.
