When running in user-mode QEMU currently fails to emulate JITs that use dual-mapped code to get around W^X restrictions, where one mapping is writable and one is executable. As it has no way of knowing that a write to the writable region is reflected in the executable one, it fails to invalidate previously translated code which leads to a crash at best.
(Note that system mode is unaffected as the softmmu is fully aware of what is going on.) This patch series catches changes to dual-mapped code by honoring the cache management instructions required to make things work on actual hardware.
