qemu-arm-static under amd64: example of stuck looping atomic_cmpset_int while building graphics/poppler-qt5 [problem possibly found]

[It looks to me like the assembler code has some code moved out of the

tcmpset_32 does not prevent code motion to before the call and
the variable involved was not declared volatile.]

In the source code there is:

1261	    } else if (TARGET_URWLOCK_READER_COUNT(state) != 0) {
1262	        /* decrement reader count */
1263	        for (;;) {
1264	            if (!tcmpset_32(&target_urwlock->rw_state, state, (state  - 1))) {
1265	                if (TARGET_URWLOCK_READER_COUNT(state) == 0) {
1266	                    unlock_user_struct(target_urwlock,
1267	                        target_addr, 1);
1268	                        return -TARGET_EPERM;
(gdb) 
1269	                 }
1270	            } else {
1271	                break;
1272	            }
1273	        }

But in the assembler code it appears to me that the code:

1265	                if (TARGET_URWLOCK_READER_COUNT(state) == 0) {
1266	                    unlock_user_struct(target_urwlock,
1267	                        target_addr, 1);
1268	                        return -TARGET_EPERM;
(gdb) 
1269	                 }

was factored out of the loop, with the test moved to before the loop.
The TARGET_URWLOCK_READER_COUNT use masks off based on 0x1fffffff .
But the code for the conditional test is before the loop:

  0x0000000060051c06 <+54>:	test   $0x1fffffff,%ecx
  0x0000000060051c0c <+60>:	je     0x60051c4b <freebsd_rw_unlock+123>
. . .
NOTE: loop is below:
  0x0000000060051c20 <+80>:	mov    %ecx,%eax
=> 0x0000000060051c22 <+82>:	lock cmpxchg %esi,(%rdi)
  0x0000000060051c26 <+86>:	sete   %bl
  0x0000000060051c29 <+89>:	test   %bl,%bl
  0x0000000060051c2b <+91>:	je     0x60051c20 <freebsd_rw_unlock+80>
Note: loop is above

I may try declaring state volatile in an attempt to prevent the
code motion. (But what of other uses of tcmpset_32 controlling
subordinate code in other places?)
