Fix upstream ARM emulation bug that broke singlestep mode.
This fixes a really bad bug in the Thumb/Thumb2 ARM emulation related to conditional instructions execution. The issue was that the previous implementation did break badly if a page fault occured during the conditional instruction's emulation. Giving an example if probably the best way to demonstrate this. Consider the following two instructions: itt eq streq r0,[r4, #0] These two instructions mean, respectively: - If the Z flag is set, execute the next instruction. Otherwise ignore it - Store the value of r0 at the address pointed to by r4 In single-step mode (used when debugging the emulator), each instruction is separately JIT-ed and executed in a different pass. The 'condexec_bits' field of the CPU state if used to store flags corresponding to the conditional execution of up to 4 next instructions. When the first instruction is executed, it simply sets 'condexec_bits' to a specific value (4). When the second instruction is executed, things get slightly bit more funky because what happened was the following: - the JIT-ed code started by clearing the 'condexec_bits' right at the start of its sequence (a comment says "to avoid complications trying to do it at the end of the block", famous last words...) - a conditional test, based on the current value of the Z flag was added to skip over the rest of the instruction sequence - the store itself is implemented through a call to the __stl_mmu helper function. The thing is that __stl_mmu may implement a *page fault* (i.e. when the address in r4 hasn't been commited to memory yet) which requires a switch to kernel mode (to populate the page), then going back to the instruction's execution. This is done in the current implementation by re-running the JIT-er for the same instruction, however, since 'condexec_bits' was already cleared to 0, the new JIT-ed code sequence doesn't have the conditional test to skip over the store. The conditional instruction has been transformed into a non-conditional one due to the page fault ! This results in either bad behaviour or, even a crash in the emulator. The patch fixes the clearing of condexec_bits to happen as it should, i.e. only when execution has really cleared it. This is preliminary work to fix the -trace option. Also, disable the IO Thread when running the standalone emulator. This makes debugging much easier since everything happens in a single thread.
