[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 01/22] cpu-exec: fix exception_index handling

[Pavel Dovgalyuk]

Function cpu_handle_interrupt calls cc->cpu_exec_interrupt to process
pending hardware interrupts. Under the hood cpu_exec_interrupt uses
cpu->exception_index to pass information to the internal function which
is usually common for exception and interrupt processing.
But this value is not reset after return and may be processed again
by cpu_handle_exception. This does not happen due to overwriting
the exception_index at the end of cpu_handle_interrupt.
But this branch may also overwrite the valid exception_index in some cases.
Therefore this patch:
 1. resets exception_index just after the call to cpu_exec_interrupt
 2. prevents overwriting the meaningful value of exception_index
