The initialization and exit hooks will not affect the state of vCPU,
but they may depend on the state of vCPU. Therefore, it's better to
call plugin hooks after the vCPU state is fully initialized and before
it gets uninitialized.

Hi Akihiko,

What about:

  qemu_plugin_vcpu_init_hook()
    -> plugin_cpu_update__locked()
       -> plugin_cpu_update__async()
          -> bitmap_copy(cpu->plugin_mask, ...)
             tcg_flush_jmp_cache(cpu)
             -> qatomic_set(&cpu->tb_jmp_cache->array[i].tb, ...)

?

Hi,

bitmap_copy(cpu->plugin_mask, ...) is contained in the plugin 
infrastructure and shouldn't matter.

The TCG is not started filling caches so tcg_flush_jmp_cache() is 
effectively nop though that is not clearly stated.

By the way, I found plugin_cpu_update__locked() will not synchronously 
call plugin_cpu_update__async() after this change because cpu->created 
will be always true for the system emulation. For user space emulation, 
it has already been broken and it *always* synchronously calls the 
function since cpu->created is not set.

I wrote a change to replace cpu->created with DEVICE(cpu)->realized and 
added to the base patch series ("[PATCH v3 03/12] plugins: Check if vCPU 
is realized" in "[PATCH v3 00/12] gdbstub and TCG plugin improvements").

Regards,
Akihiko Odaki
