One of notdirty_write()'s responsibilities is detecting self-modifying code. Some functions pass the full size of a write to it, some pass 1. When a write to a code section begins before a TB start, but then overlaps the TB, the paths that pass 1 don't flush a TB and don't return to the translator loop.
This may be masked, one example being HELPER(vstl). There, probe_write_access() ultimately calls notdirty_write() with a size of 1 and misses self-modifying code. However, cpu_stq_be_data_ra() ultimately calls mmu_watch_or_dirty(), which in turn calls notdirty_write() with the full size. It's still worth improving this, because there may still be user-visible adverse effects in other helpers.
