From: Ruihan Li <lrh2...@pku.edu.cn>
When emulated with QEMU, interrupts will never come in the following
loop. However, if the NOP instruction is uncommented, interrupts will
fire as normal.
loop:
cli
call do_sti
jmp loop
do_sti:
sti
# nop
ret
This behavior is different from that of a real processor. For example,
if KVM is enabled, interrupts will always fire regardless of whether the
NOP instruction is commented or not. Also, the Intel Software Developer
Manual states that after the STI instruction is executed, the interrupt
inhibit should end as soon as the next instruction (e.g., the RET
instruction if the NOP instruction is commented) is executed.
This problem is caused because the previous code may choose not to end
the TB even if the HF_INHIBIT_IRQ_MASK has just been reset (e.g., in the
case where the STI instruction is immediately followed by the RET
instruction), so that IRQs may not have a change to trigger. This commit
fixes the problem by always terminating the current TB to give IRQs a
chance to trigger when HF_INHIBIT_IRQ_MASK is reset.
