[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 05/11] tcg/i386: Make direct jump patching thread-safe

[Sergey Fedorov]

From: Sergey Fedorov <address@hidden>

Ensure direct jump patching in i386 is atomic by:
 * naturally aligning a location of direct jump address;
 * using atomic_read()/atomic_set() for code patching.

tcg_out_nopn() implementation:
Suggested-by: Richard Henderson <address@hidden>.

Changes in v2:
 * Use tcg_out_nopn() implementation suggested by Richard Henderson
 * Rework alignment checking and gap calculation
