-[Bug] x86 EFLAGS refresh is not happening correctly
-
-Hello,
-I'm posting this here instead of opening an issue as it is not clear to me if this is a bug or not.
-The issue is located in function "cpu_compute_eflags" in target/i386/cpu.h
-(
-https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/target/i386/cpu.h#L2071
-)
-This function is exectued in an out of cpu loop context.
-It is used to synchronize TCG internal eflags registers (CC_OP, CC_SRC,  etc...) with the CPU eflags field upon loop exit.
-It does:
-    eflags
-|=
-cpu_cc_compute_all
-(
-env
-,
-CC_OP
-)
-|
-(
-env
-->
-df
-&
-DF_MASK
-);
-Shouldn't it be:
-    Â
-eflags
-=
-cpu_cc_compute_all
-(
-env
-,
-CC_OP
-)
-|
-(
-env
-->
-df
-&
-DF_MASK
-);
-as eflags is entirely reevaluated by "cpu_cc_compute_all" ?
-Thanks,
-Kind regards,
-Stevie

-No, both are wrong.  env->eflags contains flags other than the
-arithmetic flags (OF/SF/ZF/AF/PF/CF) and those have to be preserved.
-The right code is in helper_read_eflags.  You can move it into
-cpu_compute_eflags, and make helper_read_eflags use it.

-No, both are wrong.  env->eflags contains flags other than the
-arithmetic flags (OF/SF/ZF/AF/PF/CF) and those have to be preserved.

-Ah, actually the two are really the same, the TF/VM bits do not apply to
-cpu_compute_eflags so it's correct.
-What seems wrong is migration of the EFLAGS register.  There should be
-code in cpu_pre_save and cpu_post_load to special-case it and setup
-CC_DST/CC_OP as done in cpu_load_eflags.
-Also, cpu_load_eflags should assert that update_mask does not include
-any of the arithmetic flags.

-Thank for your reply!
-It's still a bit cryptic for me.
-I think i need to precise that I'm using a x86_64 custom user-mode,base on linux user-mode, that i'm developing (unfortunately i cannot share the code) with modifications in the translation loop (I've added cpu loop exits on specific instructions which are not control flow instructions).
-If my understanding is correct, in the user-mode case 'cpu_compute_eflags' is called directly by 'x86_cpu_exec_exit' with the intention of synchronizing the CPU env->eflags field with its real value (represented by the CC_* fields).
-I'm not sure how 'cpu_pre_save' and 'cpu_post_load' are involved in this case.

-As you said in your first email, 'helper_read_eflags' seems to be the correct way to go.
-Here is some detail about my current experimentation/understanding of this "issue":
-With the current implementationÂ
-        Â
-eflags |= cpu_cc_compute_all(env, CC_OP) | (env->df & DF_MASK);
-if I exit the loop with a CC_OP different from CC_OP_EFLAGS, I found that the resulting env->eflags may be invalid.
-In my test case, the loop was exiting with eflags = 0x44 and CC_OP = CC_OP_SUBL with CC_DST=1, CC_SRC=258, CC_SRC2=0.
-While 'cpu_cc_compute_all' computes the correct flags (ZF:0, PF:0), the result will still be 0x44 (ZF:1, PF:1) due to the 'or' operation, thus leading to an incorrect eflags value loaded into the CPU env.Â
-In my case, after loop reentry, it led to an invalid branch to be taken.
-Thanks for your time!
-Regards
-Stevie
