[Qemu-stable] [PATCH for-2.11 0/2] Fix TCG atomic writes to nondirty pages

[Peter Maydell]

To do a write to memory that is marked as notdirty, we need
to invalidate any TBs we have cached for that memory, and
update the cpu physical memory dirty flags for VGA and migration.
The slowpath code in notdirty_mem_write() does all this correctly,
but the new atomic handling code in atomic_mmu_lookup() doesn't
do anything at all, it just clears the dirty bit in the TLB.
    
The effect of this bug is that if the first write to a notdirty
page for which we have cached TBs is by a guest atomic access,
we fail to invalidate the TBs and subsequently will execute
incorrect code. This can be seen by trying to run 'javac' on AArch64.
    
The first patch here refactors notdirty_mem_write() to pull out
the "correctly handle dirty bit updates" parts of the code into
two new functions memory_notdirty_write_prepare() and
memory_notdirty_write_complete(). The second patch then uses
those functions to fix the atomic helpers.

In an ideal world I'd like to get this fix into rc2 tomorrow
so it gets wider testing exposure before release.

thanks
