If any store instruction writes the code inside the same TB after this store insn, the execution of the TB must be stopped to execute new code correctly. As described in ARMv8 manual D3.4.6 a self-modified code need to do IC invalidation to be valid, and ISB after it. So it's enough to end the TB after ISB instruction on the code translation. Also this TB break is necessary to take any pending interrupts immediately according to ARMv8 ARM D1.14.4.
