Subject: [PATCH] exec: flush the whole TLB if a watchpoint crosses a page
boundary
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

There is no particular reason why you can't have a watchpoint in TCG
that covers a large chunk of the address space. We could be clever
about it but these cases are pretty rare and we can assume the user
will expect a little performance degradation.
NB: In my testing gdb will silently squash a watchpoint like:
watch (char[0x7fffffffff]) *0x0
to a 4 byte watchpoint. Practically it will limit the maximum size
based on max-value-size. However given enough of a tweak the sky is
the limit.
