I just compiled the testclone new on debian Wheezy, for to understand what is going on and name it clonemi. Before I have always an endless loop on Raspberry Pi because waitpid was never fullfilled. So I commened the two waitpid lines out. Also I enlarged the STACK_SIZE to 262144. Enlarging of the stack does not help. But now the Raspberry Pi with qemu-1386 -strace clonemi showed the following output:

Is this the mistake? Nice to hear from you, Dietmar -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035572 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.
