[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 12/27] tcg: handle EXCP_ATOMIC exception for system emulation

[Alex Bennée]

From: Pranith Kumar <address@hidden>

The patch enables handling atomic code in the guest. This should be
preferably done in cpu_handle_exception(), but the current assumptions
regarding when we can execute atomic sections cause a deadlock.
