The whole point of the patch that you reference as having broken things is that calls to tb_gen_code which ignore their return value are by definition relying on the side effect of altering the TB cache, and are therefore by definition racy. That is exactly the point of cpu->cflags_next_tb, that when we next arrive in cpu_exec we look up (or generate) the next TB with the given flags. At which point we will *not* be relying on the TB cache, and we'll execute the generated TB right away. I do not have enough context within this patch to determine what the proper solution is. r~

Well, as a ineffective solution, we can just omit tb_gen_code, but still make + cpu->cflags_next_tb = curr_cflags() | CF_LAST_IO | CF_NOCACHE | 1; Then the recompilation will occur every time, because the translation for the original address is not limited by some counter. > I do not have enough context within this patch to determine what the > proper solution is.

cpu_io_recompile() function was broken by the commit 9b990ee5a3cc6aa38f81266fb0c6ef37a36c45b9. Instead of regenerating the block starting from PC of the original block, it just set the instruction counter for TCG. In most cases this was unnoticed, but in icount mode there was an exception for incorrect usage of CF_LAST_IO flag. This patch recovers recompilation of the original block and also configures translation for executing single IO instruction which caused a recompilation.
