We're using qemu 8.1.0. Whilst I will get us updated to 8.1.2 and see
if that helps, I think those commits are in 8.1.0:

$ git show cb62bd15e14e304617d250158b77d0deb032f03
commit cb62bd15e14e304617d250158b77d0deb032f032
Author: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@...aro.org>
Date:   Thu Jul 6 08:45:13 2023 +0100

    accel/tcg: Split out cpu_exec_longjmp_cleanup
[...]
$ git tag --contains cb62bd15e14e304617d250158b77d0deb032f03
v8.1.0
v8.1.0-rc0
v8.1.0-rc1
v8.1.0-rc2
v8.1.0-rc3
v8.1.0-rc4
v8.1.1
v8.1.2

Similarly for:

commit deba78709ae8ce103e2248413857747f804cd1ef
Author: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@...aro.org>
Date:   Thu Jul 6 17:55:48 2023 +0100

    accel/tcg: Always lock pages before translation

and

commit ad17868eb162a5466d8ad43e5ccb428776403308
Author: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@...aro.org>
Date:   Wed Jul 26 12:58:08 2023 -0700

    accel/tcg: Clear tcg_ctx->gen_tb on buffer overflow
[...]
    Fixes: deba78709ae8 ("accel/tcg: Always lock pages before translation")

Both of which are also in 8.1.0.

Is there any other patch related to those we might be missing?

Cheers,

Richard
