From: Nikunj A Dadhania <nik...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> In case when atomic operation is not supported, exit_atomic is called and we stop the world and execute the atomic operation. This results in a following call chain:
tcg_gen_atomic_cmpxchg_tl() -> gen_helper_exit_atomic() -> HELPER(exit_atomic) -> cpu_loop_exit_atomic() -> EXCP_ATOMIC -> qemu_tcg_cpu_thread_fn() => case EXCP_ATOMIC -> cpu_exec_step_atomic() -> cpu_step_atomic() -> cc->cpu_exec_enter() = ppc_cpu_exec_enter() Sets env->reserve_addr = -1; But by the time it return back, the reservation is erased and the code fails, this continues forever and the lock is never taken. Instead set this in powerpc_excp() Now that ppc_cpu_exec_enter() doesn't have anything meaningful to do, let us get rid of the function.
