[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1701798] Re: dynamically linked binaries crash for big-endian targets

[Peter Maydell]

I just tested with powerpc and current head-of-git QEMU and it works:

e104462:xenial:bug-1701798$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
    printf("hello world\n");
    return 0;
}
e104462:xenial:bug-1701798$ powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.powerpc
e104462:xenial:bug-1701798$ QEMU_LD_PREFIX=/usr/powerpc-linux-gnu 
~/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/build/all-linux-static/ppc-linux-user/qemu-ppc 
./hello.powerpc 
hello world

Similarly mips, sparc64, powerpc64, hppa, mips64 are fine.

m68k is known to be not working for real m68k currently (it's mostly a
coldfire target), so not surprising that that doesn't work.

s390x still crashes:
qemu-s390x: 
/home/petmay01/linaro/qemu-from-laptop/qemu/accel/tcg/translate-all.c:189: 
tb_lock: Assertion `!have_tb_lock' failed.

So either we've fixed a bug here, or the problem is in your environment.

For s390, it looks like the guest is trying to use an insn we don't implement:

where the abort is in op_risbg() because s->fields->op2 is 0x59, which
we don't handle.

We then fail to correctly report that abort(), because linux-user has
never been very good with reporting signals caused by QEMU itself -- it
assumes signals including SIGABRT are due to the guest code and tries to
deliver them as guest signals, usually tripping itself up in the
process. We then run into the bug described in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2017-10/msg01506.html
which is why we get the have_tb_lock assertion.

Title:
  dynamically linked binaries crash for big-endian targets

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  On the targets
    hppa
    m68k
    mips
    mips64
    powerpc
    powerpc64
    s390x
    sparc64
  dynamically linked binaries crash, but statically linked binaries work.
  On the targets
    aarch64
    alpha
    armhf
    powerpc64le
    sh4
  both dynamically linked and statically linked binaries work.

  How to reproduce:

  1) On Ubuntu 16.04, install the packages
  g++-5-aarch64-linux-gnu
  g++-5-alpha-linux-gnu
  g++-5-arm-linux-gnueabihf
  g++-5-hppa-linux-gnu
  g++-5-m68k-linux-gnu
  g++-5-mips-linux-gnu
  g++-5-mips64-linux-gnuabi64
  g++-5-powerpc-linux-gnu
  g++-5-powerpc64-linux-gnu
  g++-5-powerpc64le-linux-gnu
  g++-5-s390x-linux-gnu
  g++-5-sh4-linux-gnu
  g++-5-sparc64-linux-gnu

  2) Install qemu 2.9.0 from source (for m68k, use the 2.7.0-m68k
  code from https://github.com/vivier/qemu-m68k.git):
  $ ../configure --prefix=/home/bruno/inst-qemu/2.9.0 
--target-list=aarch64-softmmu,alpha-softmmu,arm-softmmu,i386-softmmu,m68k-softmmu,mips-softmmu,mipsel-softmmu,mips64-softmmu,mips64el-softmmu,ppc-softmmu,ppc64-softmmu,s390x-softmmu,sh4-softmmu,sparc-softmmu,sparc64-softmmu,x86_64-softmmu,aarch64-linux-user,alpha-linux-user,arm-linux-user,hppa-linux-user,m68k-linux-user,mips-linux-user,mipsel-linux-user,mips64-linux-user,mips64el-linux-user,ppc-linux-user,ppc64-linux-user,ppc64le-linux-user,s390x-linux-user,sh4-linux-user,sparc-linux-user,sparc64-linux-user
 --disable-strip --disable-werror --enable-gtk --enable-vnc
  $ make
  $ make install

  3) Cross-compile the programs:

  $ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.aarch64
  $ alpha-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.alpha
  $ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.armhf
  $ hppa-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.hppa
  $ m68k-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.m68k
  $ mips-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.mips
  $ mips64-linux-gnuabi64-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.mips64
  $ powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.powerpc
  $ powerpc64-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.powerpc64
  $ powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.powerpc64le
  $ s390x-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.s390x
  $ sh4-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.sh4
  $ sparc64-linux-gnu-gcc-5 -O hello.c -o hello.sparc64

  The set of targets where it does not work is exactly the big-endian targets.
