instruction: 0.608 runtime: 0.223 syscall: 0.169 PPC: `spr_write_xer` doesn't set flag bits in `cpu_xer` Description of problem: `spr_write_xer()` does not set the `ca`, `ov`, `so`, `ca32`, `ov32` etc. flag bits in the `cpu_xer` variable. In fact it copies all bits from the source `GPR` and _excludes_ each flag bit. This is not a problem for execution since `spr_read_xer()` gets the flag bits from `cpu_ca/ov/so...` and not from `cpu_xer`. Nonetheless it is problem for tools which trace the execution in QEMU (e.g. https://github.com/BinaryAnalysisPlatform/qemu). A fix would be to remove the `~` in https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/target/ppc/translate.c#L481 Steps to reproduce: Haven't found out yet how to debug QEMU so the TCGv values can be investigated. But in general one need to: - Execute a binary which executes something like: ``` r4 = 0xffffffffffffffff mtxer r4 ``` and check the `cpu_xer` value after the `xer` write. Checking the debug logs (`in_asm,cpu`) doesn't work, since the `xer` value in the logs is not taken directly from `cpu_xer`.
