PoP (Sequence of Storage References -> Instruction Fetching) says:

    ... if a store that is conceptually earlier is
    made by the same CPU using the same effective
    address as that by which the instruction is subse-
    quently fetched, the updated information is obtained ...

QEMU already has support for this in the common code; enable it for
s390x.

Figuring out what TARGET_HAS_PRECISE_SMC is all about, I only learned 
from git history

commit d720b93d0bcfe1beb729245b9ed1e5f071a24bd5
Author: Fabrice Bellard <fabrice@bellard.org>
Date:   Sun Apr 25 17:57:43 2004 +0000

     precise self modifying code support


     git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@745 
c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162



AFAIU, precise SMC is stricter compared to what we have right now. So i 
suspect that this patch is actually fixing SMC behavior: for example, 
when a basic block ends up modifying itself.

Were there any BUG reports? (does patch #2 test for that and can 
reproduce the original issue?)

There were no bug reports, I found this issue with fuzzing.

Patch #2 tests a TB modifying itself.
Reverting this commit makes the test fail.

Cool, thanks. Worth adding to the patch description.
