From 7ba055b49b74c4d2f4a338c5198485bdff373fb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pierrick Bouvier Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2024 10:58:56 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] target/i386: fix hang when using slow path for ptw_setl When instrumenting memory accesses for plugin, we force memory accesses to use the slow path for mmu [1]. This create a situation where we end up calling ptw_setl_slow. This was fixed recently in [2] but the issue still could appear out of plugins use case. Since this function gets called during a cpu_exec, start_exclusive then hangs. This exclusive section was introduced initially for security reasons [3]. I suspect this code path was never triggered, because ptw_setl_slow would always be called transitively from cpu_exec, resulting in a hang.
