 Semihosting isn't a test device -- it's an implementation of an
 ABI (mostly intended for almost-but-not-quite-bare-metal programs).
 I'm pretty sure that exiting anything except 0 on a successful
 exit request by the guest will break usage of QEMU in scenarios
 like the gcc test suite.

Thanks!  (FWIW, I don't find the behavior of those devices very useful
either... just mentioning them for the sake of consistency).

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] Pass semihosting exit code back to system.

2014-11-18 Thread Liviu Ionescu
In order to run unit tests under semihosting, it is necessary to pass the
application exit code back to the system.

ARM defines only the code to be used for non-error application exit
(ADP_Stopped_ApplicationExit), all other codes should return non-zero
exit codes.

This patch checks if the application code passed via TARGET_SYS_EXIT is
ADP_Stopped_ApplicationExit, and return 0, otherwise return 1.

Applied to target-arm.next, thanks.

The isa-debugexit and testdev character device do not exit with exitcode
0, in order to distinguish an exit from a system power down; the
low-order bit is always 1.  The return values then should be 1 and 3
instead of 0 and 1.

I have no experience with the isa-debugexit and testdev character device, and 
if there is any relationship between them and the semihosting code, but the 
original code always returned 0, regardless of the value passed by 
TARGET_SYS_EXIT, so I doubt there are any existing use cases that expect the 
semihosting code to return 1 or 3. 

in addition to passing trace messages, the main use of the semihosting calls is 
to run unit tests, and all automated testing infrastructures assumes the test 
executables to return 0/non-zero, as any well behaved POSIX processes.

I personally would not change this.

regards,

Liviu
