Bug Description

QEMU emulator version 5.0.0

sfence.vma will flush the tlb, so after this instruction, the translation block should be end. The following code will only work in single step mode:
```
relocate:
 li a0, OFFSET

 la t0, 1f
 add t0, t0, a0
 csrw stvec, t0

        la t0, early_pgtbl
 srl t0, t0, PAGE_SHIFT
 li t1, SATP_SV39
 or t0, t1, t0

        csrw satp, t0
1:
 sfence.vma
 la t0, trap_s
 csrw stvec, t0
 ret
```

In this code, I want to relocate pc to virtual address with the OFFSET prefix. Before writing to satp, pc run at physic address, stvec has been set to label 1 with a virtual prefix and virtual address has been mapping in early_pgtbl, after writing satp, qemu will throw a page fault, and pc will set to virtual address of label 1.

The problem is that, in this situation, the translation block will not end after sfence.vma, and stvec will be set to trap_s,

```
----------------
IN:
Priv: 1; Virt: 0
0x00000000800000dc: 00a080b3 add ra,ra,a0
0x00000000800000e0: 00007297 auipc t0,28672 # 0x800070e0
0x00000000800000e4: f2028293 addi t0,t0,-224
0x00000000800000e8: 00c2d293 srli t0,t0,12
0x00000000800000ec: fff0031b addiw t1,zero,-1
0x00000000800000f0: 03f31313 slli t1,t1,63
0x00000000800000f4: 005362b3 or t0,t1,t0
0x00000000800000f8: 18029073 csrrw zero,satp,t0

----------------
IN:
Priv: 1; Virt: 0
0x00000000800000fc: 12000073 sfence.vma zero,zero
0x0000000080000100: 00000297 auipc t0,0 # 0x80000100
0x0000000080000104: 1c828293 addi t0,t0,456
0x0000000080000108: 10529073 csrrw zero,stvec,t0

riscv_raise_exception: 12
riscv_raise_exception: 12
riscv_raise_exception: 12
riscv_raise_exception: 12
...
```

So, the program will crash, and the program will work in single step mode:
```
----------------
IN:
Priv: 1; Virt: 0
0x00000000800000f8: 18029073 csrrw zero,satp,t0

----------------
IN:
Priv: 1; Virt: 0
0x00000000800000fc: 12000073 sfence.vma zero,zero

riscv_raise_exception: 12
----------------
IN:
Priv: 1; Virt: 0
0xffffffff800000fc: 12000073 sfence.vma zero,zero

----------------
IN:
Priv: 1; Virt: 0
0xffffffff80000100: 00000297 auipc t0,0 # 0xffffffff80000100

```
The pc will set to label 1, instead of trap_s.

I try to patch the code in fence.i in trans_rvi.inc.c to sfence.vma:
```
    tcg_gen_movi_tl(cpu_pc, ctx->pc_succ_insn);
    exit_tb(ctx);
    ctx->base.is_jmp = DISAS_NORETURN;
```
This codes can help to end the tranlate block, since I'm not a qemu guy, I'm not sure if this is a corret method.

The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system.
For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now.

If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU,
then please close this ticket as "Fix released".

If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still
valid, then you have two options:

1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket
for this problem in our new tracker here:

    https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues

and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto-
matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on
Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab.

2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get
one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch
the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other-
wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate
the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter
of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes
anymore).

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
