Re: [Qemu-devel] what is the behavier precisely if a tb was interrupted by a interrupt or signal?

We don't check in the middle of a TB for conditions like
interrupts. The only thing that can cause a TB to stop
execution halfway through is if it does something that
provokes a synchronous exception (for instance, if it
does a guest memory access that triggers a guest CPU
page fault, or if it emulates a guest instruction that
is required to trap). Those we emulate by longjumping out
from the generated code to the top level loop.
Asynchronous events like emulated interrupts we only
check at the beginning of the TB: we emit code which
tests a flag and returns early.
