[Qemu-devel] segmentation fault running ppc linux user regression test

[Suet Fei Li]

Hi guys:

I am very new to qemu and not sure which place to go for help. So if
this is not the proper forum, please point me to the appreciate one,
if available.

I just downloaded the newest qemu version: qemu-0.12.5 and build the
ppc-linux-user. To test it, I also downloaded the linux-user-test-0.3.
However, when I try to run the regression test:

 >/projects/svdc/P4sbSW/sli/qemu_tmp/qemu-0.12.5/ppc-linux-user/qemu-ppc
-L ./gnemul/qemu-ppc ppc/kill
Segmentation fault

>file ppc/kill
ppc/kill: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1
(SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs),
stripped

I see "kill" is a dynamically linked program. I then try with the good
old hello_world, which is statically linked:

 >file /projects/svdc/P4sbSW/sli/qemu_tmp/test/hello.o
/projects/svdc/P4sbSW/sli/qemu_tmp/test/hello.o: ELF 32-bit MSB
executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), statically
linked, not stripped

 >/projects/svdc/P4sbSW/sli/qemu_tmp/qemu-0.12.5//ppc-linux-user/qemu-ppc
-L ./gnemul/qemu-ppc /projects/svdc/P4sbSW/sli/qemu_tmp/test/hello.o
qemu: Unsupported syscall: 17
Hello, world.

It runs although with the " Unsupported syscall".

Could anyone help me to fix the Segmentation fault problem?
