Currently the only part of an ARMCPRegInfo which is allowed to cause
a CPU exception is the access function, which returns a value indicating
that some flavour of UNDEF should be generated.
For the ATS system instructions, we would like to conditionally
generate exceptions as part of the writefn, because some faults
during the page table walk (like external aborts) should cause
an exception to be raised rather than returning a value.
There are several ways we could do this:
* plumb the GETPC() value from the top level set_cp_reg/get_cp_reg
helper functions through into the readfn and writefn hooks
* add extra readfn_with_ra/writefn_with_ra hooks that take the GETPC()
value
* require the ATS instructions to provide a dummy accessfn,
which serves no purpose except to cause the code generation
to emit TCG ops to sync the CPU state
* add an ARM_CP_ flag to mark the ARMCPRegInfo as possibly
throwing an exception in its read/write hooks, and make the
codegen sync the CPU state before calling the hooks if the
flag is set
This patch opts for the last of these, as it is fairly simple
to implement and doesn't require invasive changes like updating
the readfn/writefn hook function prototype signature.
