I've been hitting several QEMU crashes while running a fedora29 ppc64le
guest under TCG. Each time, this would occur several minutes after the
guest reached login:
Fedora 29 (Twenty Nine)
Kernel 4.20.6-200.fc29.ppc64le on an ppc64le (hvc0)
Web console: https://localhost:9090/
localhost login:
tcg/tcg.c:3211: tcg fatal error
This happens because a bug crept up in the gen_stxsdx() helper when it
was converted to use VSR register accessors by commit 8b3b2d75c7c04
"target/ppc: introduce get_cpu_vsr{l,h}() and set_cpu_vsr{l,h}() helpers
for VSR register access".
The code creates a temporary, passes it directly to gen_qemu_st64_i64()
and then to set_cpu_vrsh()... which looks like this was mistakenly
coded as a load instead of a store.
Reverse the logic: read the VSR to the temporary first and then store
it to memory.
