Yeeaah,
the first version of qemu-0.4.1 is the ONLY version of Qemu,
that runs the testclone programm without any error.
This is nice, because the structure of calling clone() in syscall.c is today
the same as in 0.4.1.
This means, the error can be fixed,
Dietmar

Title:
Bug in Qemu User Mode
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
Hi,
I make an interesting discovery.
My aim is to have a working qemu-i386 on Raspberry Pi.
After long searching in the dark what goes wrong with ANY Qemu version for
User Mode until today,
I find the following: The bug must be in at least one function, that the
program testclone
from the testpackage for i386 in linux-user-test-0.3 calls.
The wrong function is in the part, which enables more than one thread at the
same time, NPTL.
Funny, how I find this out: All the programs from the tests in
linux-user-test-0.3 I can now run succesfull with my new builded qemu-i386 for
Raspi.
But the program testclone does not stop after it gives out all the right
messages.
The program testclone stops on my Desktop computer with Debian Wheezy
installed.
So, the error is not in the program testclone.
So I make a look, what is going on there with strace. With strace you get
informations about all the values in the working program, here testclone.
I see, that the reason, why testclone not stops is in an infinite loop
because of
while (waitpid(pid1, &status1, 0) != pid1);
while (waitpid(pid2, &status2, 0) != pid2);
at its end is never fullfilled.
This is the reason for the famous error message from Qemu User Mode
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped
Segmentation fault
stack1 = malloc(STACK_SIZE);
pid1 = clone(thread1_func, stack1 + STACK_SIZE,
CLONE_VM | CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES | SIGCHLD, "hello1");
stack2 = malloc(STACK_SIZE);
pid2 = clone(thread2_func, stack2 + STACK_SIZE,
CLONE_VM | CLONE_FS | CLONE_FILES | SIGCHLD, "hello2");
The error happens early in the program testclone. Strace says, it is because
no childprocess at all can be found. So, some basiccalculations in those four
lines must be done wrong from Qemu.
I think, that the adressspace for each thread is calculated wrong, or
overlapps.
Funny, it has nothing to do with the ARM processor. I get exact the same
errormessages, when I run the program testclone on my desktopcompi i386 with a
Wheezy in Qemu and then qemu-i386 testclone.
This is a good message, because it means it is an error, that belongs at
least to the i386 family but I think, every processor in Qemu User Mode is
involved, so until now NPTL does not work.
Today I make a hand by hand calculation with the source code from testclone
and compare it with the values, that Qemu User Mode give. The handcalculated
values should be the same which my
Desktop computer with Wheezy with tesclone produces, but who knows,
Dietmar
PS: I hope, that this is the right source code for testclone. Any help
is welcome:-)!
