target/mips: Use BS_EXCP where interrupts are expected
Commit e350d8ca3ac7 ("target/mips: optimize indirect branches") made
indirect branches able to directly find the next TB and jump straight to
it without breaking out of translated code and going around the main
execution loop. This breaks the assumption in target/mips/translate.c
that BS_STOP is sufficient to cause pending interrupts to be handled,
since interrupts are only checked in the main loop.

Fix a few of these assumptions by using gen_save_pc to update the saved
PC and using BS_EXCP instead of BS_STOP:

- [D]MFC0 CP0_Count may trigger a timer interrupt which should be
immediately handled.

- [D]MTC0 CP0_Cause may trigger an interrupt (but in fact translation
was only even being stopped in the DMTC0 case).

- [D]MTC0 CP0_<any> when icount is used is assumed could potentially
cause interrupts.

- EI may trigger an interrupt which was pending. I specifically hit
this case when running KVM nested in mipsel-softmmu. A timer
interrupt while the 2nd guest was executing is caught by KVM which
switches back to the normal Linux exception base and re-enables
interrupts with EI. Since the above commit QEMU doesn't leave
translated code until the nested KVM has already restored the KVM
exception base and returned to the 2nd guest, at which point it is
too late to check for pending interrupts and it gets stuck in an
infinite loop of unhandled interrupts.

Something similar was needed for ARM in commit b29fd33db578
("target/arm: use DISAS_EXIT for eret handling").

Build Status Build status

Unicorn is a lightweight, multi-platform, multi-architecture CPU emulator framework based on QEMU.

Unicorn offers some unparalleled features:

  • Multi-architecture: ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), M68K, MIPS, SPARC, and X86 (16, 32, 64-bit)
  • Clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API
  • Implemented in pure C language, with bindings for Crystal, Clojure, Visual Basic, Perl, Rust, Ruby, Python, Java, .NET, Go, Delphi/Free Pascal and Haskell.
  • Native support for Windows & *nix (with Mac OSX, Linux, *BSD & Solaris confirmed)
  • High performance via Just-In-Time compilation
  • Support for fine-grained instrumentation at various levels
  • Thread-safety by design
  • Distributed under free software license GPLv2
