Hi,

I'm seeing a repeatable alignment exception running m68k system mode on armv7l (arm cortex a9) following this commit:
"fa947a667fceab02f9f85fc99f54aebcc9ae6b51 is the first bad commit
commit fa947a667fceab02f9f85fc99f54aebcc9ae6b51

hw/core: Make do_unaligned_access noreturn

While we may have had some thought of allowing system-mode
to return from this hook, we have no guests that require this.
"
With this included I see this in the kernel dmesg log:
[10621.993234] Alignment trap: not handling instruction f843b004 at [<b677bb2e>]
[10622.000479] 8<--- cut here ---
[10622.003609] Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x811) at 0xb13eed96
[10622.010162] pgd = 45acdb93
[10622.012941] [b13eed96] *pgd=0557a831, *pte=c01ee743, *ppte=c01eec33

As well as bisecting I've verified it is this revision by checking out clean HEAD then reverting just this revision (+ fixing conflicts).

The patch itself just seems to be adding QEMU_NORETURN (aka '__attribute__ ((__noreturn__))') which I'd expect to be benign, so I'm not really sure what is going on.

I cross-compiled it on Ubuntu using gcc/g++ (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0.

Thanks,

Mark
