Commit b00c72180c36 ("target-mips: add PC, XNP reg numbers to RDHWR")
changed the rdhwr helpers to use check_hwrena() to check the register
being accessed is enabled in CP0_HWREna when used from user mode. If
that check fails an EXCP_RI exception is raised at the host PC
calculated with GETPC().

However check_hwrena() may not be fully inlined as the
do_raise_exception() part of it is common regardless of the arguments.
This causes GETPC() to calculate the address in the call in the helper
instead of the generated code calling the helper. No TB will be found
and the EPC reported with the resulting guest RI exception points to the
beginning of the TB instead of the RDHWR instruction.

We can't reliably force check_hwrena() to be inlined, and converting it
to a macro would be ugly, so instead pass the host PC in as an argument,
with each rdhwr helper passing GETPC(). This should avoid any dependence
on compiler behaviour, and in practice seems to prevent the partial
inlining of check_hwrena() on x86_64.

This issue causes failures when running a MIPS KVM (trap & emulate)
guest in a MIPS QEMU TCG guest, as the inner guest kernel will do a
RDHWR of counter, which is disabled in the outer guest's CP0_HWREna by
KVM so it can emulate the inner guest's counter. The emulation fails and
the RI exception is passed to the inner guest.

Thanks for the detailed analysis. The other solution would have been to
declare the function as __attribute__((__always_inline__)), but I think
your solution is even better.

Whoops, thanks for the fix. I'll send the pullreq soon, hopefully it's
not too late for 2.6.

Thanks,

Yeh, I did try this first but I got big fat warnings from GCC like this
one that probably rightly scared me off that approach:

  CC    mips64el-softmmu/target-mips/op_helper.o
target-mips/op_helper.c +2297 :48: error: always_inline function might not be inlinable [-Werror=attributes]
 static __attribute__((__always_inline__)) void check_hwrena(CPUMIPSState *env, int reg)
                                                ^

Note also this sentence isn't actually very clear. preventing partial
inlining sounds like it stops inlining altogether, whereas actually I
meant that it seems to ensure full inlining of check_hwrena(). Perhaps
you could change it to ", and in practice seems to ensure the full
inlining of check_hwrena() on x86_64." when you apply it.
