No tb_flush should keep the CPU interface. In normal usage from the
emulation we always have a CPU to call. However for qemu_set_log you
will need to find a CPU to call or bail out if you can't. Maybe
something like:
CPUStatus *cpu = current_cpu || first_cpu;
if (cpu) {
tb_flush(cpu);
}
my only worry is if qemu_set_log is called from outside a CPU context
(current_cpu will always be NULL) while first_cpu is in a exclusive
region. We could extend cpu_in_exclusive_context to be:
cpu == current_cpu && cpu->in_exclusive_context
but that seems a little icky to me. Paolo, any thoughts?
